Brains Evil, Brawn Good: Difference between revisions

*** During the second half of the film, Mufasa's son Simba actually takes over as the brawny hero.

** ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' has Quasimodo using his strength for usually justified (or at least well-intentioned) purposes, whereas the physically weak (and morally weak) elderly [[Manipulative Bastard]] Frollo emotionally abuses Quasimodo into an extreme of self-loathing that is in some ways comparable to being weak until he overcomes said self-loathing.

** ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]'''s villains include Yzma, the main villain, who is [[Lean and Mean]] but clearly cleverer than the physically-stronger [[Anti-Villain]] Kronk. Its "heroes" include [[Anti-Hero]] Kuzko, also skinny, and [[It's All About Me|profoundly self-centered]], and Pacha, a more unambiguously good character who is noticeably physically stronger and nowhere near as self-centered.

** Sort-of inverted in ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'', which has the smart Belle on the side of good and the dumb, muscle-bound Gaston as the main villain. Still, Gaston is defeated in a physical battle with the Beast, who is not particularly intelligent.
