Let me know down in the comments if you would like a part 3.
. I mean whats not to love about Disney right?
Hey guys welcome back to the most amazing top 5 im court mcginley.
Before we get started I want to know out of all the Disney characters who is your favorite?
Let me know your answers down in the comments.Alright lets get started on our list of the top 5
real stories behind Disney movies part 2.
Coming in at number 5--Beauty and the beast- now as you guys know this is my absolute all
time favorite Disney movie.
Cue Halloween picture from a few years ago- editors can you put the beauty And the beast
pic of liam and I in drop box in the top 5 folder.
Yeah like I said obsessed.
So as we all know in the Disney version we have Belle- shes a complete book worm and
a bit of an outcast.
We make our way through the movie and one thing leads to another next thing we know
Belle is now beasts prisoner.
But on the upside he lives in a beautiful castle with talking utensils- I mean you definitely
don’t see that everyday.
Over time Beast opens up to Belle and they fall in love.
Then they kiss- the curse is broken and the beast turns back into his true human form.
Well let me tell ya- the origin story- yeah not so cute.
In this version Belle convinces the beast to let her visit her sister for a week.
So Belle goes to see her sister and shes covered in jewels and talks about how lovely her life
is with the beast.
Her sister then convinces Belle to extend her visit.
And this isn’t because she misses her sister- oh no its because she hopes that by Belle
staying longer the beast will go mad and end up killing Belle.
Yeah..sisters.
In at number 4--The Hunchback of Notre Dame- Now I have to say- I feel like this movie
doesn’t get enough recognition.
Its pretty great yet people often forget about it so I decided to put it on this list.
Plus it does have a rather interesting origin story.
So from the version we know Quasimodo was born with disabilities and the towns people
view him as a freak.
His only friends are some gargoyles.
He then meets a gypsy named Esmerelda and falls in love with her as she is kind to him.
Then in the end he saves her from being executed by the church.
In the original story Quasimoto fails to save Esmerelda and watches her hang.
Quasimoto then goes to her grave site- and stays there until he starves to death.
Then after a few years pass her grave is opened and both of their skeletons are found.
When the person tries to separate them the skeletons turn into dust.
At number 3--Pocahontas- Another amazing Disney film- In this movie we follow Pocahontas a
woman who is one with nature- stands up for what she believes in and has a cute little
racoon friend named Meeko and humming bird named flit.
She meets an English man named John Smith and they form a friendship which over time
turns into love.
This almost starts a war between their people.
John smith almost gets executed at the hands of Pocahontas father but she stops him.
But the true story of Pocahontas is one of tragedy and heart break- and there are many
different versions but ill tell you about the most common one.
Her birth name was Matoaka and she was the daughter of the chief.
Just like in the movie her mother passed away and she was raised by the women of her tribe
and father.
When the English came the natives kidnapped John Smith but Pocahontas saved his live.
There was never a relationship of any kind as when the 2 met Smith was in his late 20s
and Pocahontas was only 9 or 10.
Smith went on his way-Pocahontas was eventually kidnapped and taken to England where she married
an English man when she was 17 – they had children and she then died at the age of 22
of unknown causes.
Like I said that was only one version some versions say she was murdered- others say
she remarried.
This was all the way back in the 16 hundreds so yeah that leaves a lot of time for things
to get misconstrued and twisted around.
Coming in at number 2--Snow White- Now snow white is one Disney princess that really stands
out as she is the first princess ever created- and that was all the way back in 1937- yeah
shes the head honcho. Snow White is this beautiful friendly princess.
But as you know beautiful and friendly people unfortunately have crazies trying to take
them down.
So with Snow being the fairest in the land shes being hunted by the evil queen.
So she runs off into the woods where she comes across a little cabin where she meets the
7 dwarfs.
However the witch ends up finding her and poisons her.
Then her boys go on the attack and kill the witch.
Then all of a sudden the prince shows up- gives snow white a kiss- she wakes up- and
they live happily ever after.
Well as you know the brothers grime they arnt about the easy deaths so they came up with
a different version.
This time around the witch doesn’t die under a rock.
Instead her punishment for trying to kill snow is to dance in heated iron shoes until
she faints and dies.
Yeah that’s pretty brutal.
Coming in at our number 1 spot--Mulan- This film is definitely a fan favorite.
I mean the scene with the ill make a man out of you song- the way she perceivers in the
end –yeah.
So Mulan pretends to be a man so she can fight in the Chinese Army against the huns so her
injured father wont have to.
At first she almost gets sent home because shes not strong enough.
but she doesn’t give up- she steps up her game and over time becomes one of the strongest
fighters- they win the war- she lands her man and honours her family.
And then her dad hits you with this line- 42 seconds to 49 seconds.
And then you just burst into tears.
Well unfortunately the origin story aint so cute.
China ends up losing the war.
The ruler from the enemies side lets Mulan live but she must live with him.
She then escapes so she can go home to be with her family.
But sadly her father passed while she was gone and her mother remarried.
And then Mulan kills herself so she could be with her father.
Yeah that’s dark.
And there you guys have it that’s our list of the top 5 stories behind Disney movies.
