Brutally Honest Disney Movie Posters Are Both Sad and Hilarious

[ismnotwasm]

The FW created nine posters that call bullshit on Disney's original titles, and deliver the Truth. Filed under "Wish I would've thought of that first!" and also, "More, please!"

Related: Scriptnotes, a podcast about screenwriting (and things that are interesting to screenwriters!) (and other people, too!), has a super fun and interesting breakdown of Little Mermaid. They go into detail with the original fairy tale vs. the Disney version, and let me tell you: the original is FUCKED (ALL CAPS). Plus, plenty of talk about how Ursula is tops, and maybe the greatest, fattest, sexiest sea bitch villainess of all time. Anyway, the whole episode is highly recommended — I listened to it on a drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco and didn't fall asleep once! A++!

1. The Hunchback of Notre Dame hit too close

to home. I saw this story on a friend's FB page. My son was told quite often "Great mask" at Halloween, just as Quasimodo was told by Esmeralda. Other months he was told to "Take the mask off. Halloween is over." Of course, right after the words were spoken the speaker realized my son was NOT wearing a mask.

2. Oh, no. I'm sorry that happened to your son. People can be idiots sometimes.

3. True. It hurt because it happened more often

between the ages of seven and twelve or very early teen years.

Thank you for your kindness.

4. That's the hardest time for kids with any physical differences.

How old is he now, and how is he doing?

5. He is 28 and is

doing very well. The AZ Dept of Economic Security is helping him to find a job. Besides having Neurofibromatosis, the cause of his facial difference and kyphosis, he is also learning disabled. The state gave him a psych eval and said his outlook on life is great. He does not see things through rose colored glasses nor is he bitter. As a mom, that made me feel good. Thank you for asking.

6. Good luck to both of you.
