There are many things that don't make sense to me in Disney movies (someone explain to me the purpose of the trolls in "Frozen"), but these are the ones that haunt me as I lay in bed at night. Why are some parts of Disney movies so illogical? It's almost as if they're fictional worlds inhabited by fictional characters...
1. Elsa and Anna's relationship in "Frozen"
Okay, I have a little sister, and there's no way on earth that she would have put up with me ignoring her for 13 minutes, let alone 13 years. That whole "protecting my sister from my magical powers" thing would have lasted all of ten seconds before she started crying and I swung my door open and started yelling at her. Then she would have seen all the ice in my room and my parents would have had to find a "plan B." "Do you want to build a snowman," my a**.
2. The Lantern Scene in "Tangled"
Before I continue, I would just like to state openly that I love Tangled and think the lantern scene is magical. What doesn't make sense to me is where in the world she was hiding that crown for the entire day. Gothel gave her the satchel which held the crown the night before, and Rapunzel supposedly had it as she explored the city, danced around, and drew a chalk mural on the sidewalk. Three little girls braided her hair, so that couldn't be where she hid it. Where was that crown?!
I'm afraid to ask.
3. Cyndra's Audition in "High School Musical"
If you don't recall, she was the one who auditioned with a classical opera-inspired version of "What I've Been Looking For" and completely killed it. All of the auditions besides Sharpay and Ryan's (of course) were pretty bad, so it was easy to see why none of them were chosen for a lead role. But where do they get off snubbing Cyndra like that? Sure, her version didn't fit with the style of the show, but if she can hit a high note like that, then she'd surely be able to rock a pop ballad. I would have given you a part, Cyndra. The winter musi-CALdoesn't deserve you.
4. The Ending of "The Little Mermaid"
Sure, she changed her entire life just so she could have legs. But I think people need to cut my girl Ariel some slack. She didn't change for a man, she changed for herself. She'd been obsessed with the human world long before she'd ever seen Prince Eric. Her transformation is not what I have a problem with. What I have a problem with is the fact that King Triton, further exhibiting his terrible parenting skills, turned Ariel into a human forever (presumably). He's the king of the sea! Why didn't he just let his incredibly immature 16-year-old be human for a while to see if she liked it as much as she thought she would? Or, if she's so set on marrying Prince Eric, why didn't he change her into a human for most of the year and then back to a mermaid for summers and holidays? He has full access to a magical trident. He really could have handled this a lot better.
5. The Ending of Hercules
While we're at it, why did Hercules give up his position as a god that easily? He's about to enter the gates of Mount Olympus until he turns around and sees Meg, walking away all dejectedly. Then, he immediately teleports down the stairs to tell Meg and his parents that he'd rather be human so he can stay on earth with Meg. I know, it's true love and all that, but why didn't he at least bargain a little, for God's sake? He didn't even ask if Meg could become a god, or if he could stay a demigod while he lives on earth. I mean, the guy completely obliterated all the titans and saved the god and human worlds, which is something Zeus didn't even do. Surely he'd get at least one perk!
