Hercules (1997)

My brother Kenai went on to live with Koda and the other bears. He taught me that love is very powerful. And I passed on the wisdom of his story to our people. The story of a boy who became a man … by becoming a bear. 

You saw what he did out there, letting the crowd torture that poor boy.  I thought if just one person could stand up to him, then… what do they have against people who are different, anyway?

if only i could make him understand. i just don’t see things the way he does. i just don’t see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad.

Mulan (1998) 

Darkness. That’s the first thing I remember. It was dark, and it was cold. And I was scared.

She is indeed, most wondrous fair, gold of sunshine in her hair, Lips that shame the red red rose, in ageless sleep, she finds repose.  The years roll by, but a hundred years to a steadfast heart, are but a day. And now, the gates of a dungeon part, and our prince is free to go his way. Off he rides, on his noble steed, a valiant figure, straight and tall!  To wake his love, with love’s first kiss, and prove that true love conquers all!        - Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty (1959)

As you can see, the pseudo-façade was stripped away to reveal the minimalist Rococo design. Note the unusual inverted vaulted ceilings. This is yet another example of the late neoclassic Baroque period.

Look, kid, bad things happen, and you can’t do anything about it, right? Right. Wrong!  When the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world.
