Cerebus Retcon: Difference between revisions

Line 53:

* Probably the quickest one in history is towards the end of the original ''[[The Land Before Time|Land Before Time]]'' movie- which is also something of an in-universe example. Cera screams for help when what appears to be some sort of tar monster approaches and picks her up, only for Ducky to reveal -after Cera's fit of panic, of course- that it is herself and their friends covered in tar. Cera irritably pries herself free, squeals as she falls to the ground, and defensively claims that she knew it was them the whole time. The others laugh rather mockingly at Cera, (who, up to this point, has been boastful and overly-proud) which continues as she slips in tar and bumps into things in a comic way, as she marches out of the cave. [[Tear Jerker|Cut to her alone outside of the cave, where her facade finally breaks and she begins to cry.]]

* A rather disturbing one can be found in the ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' movie, where it explains why Eddy is such a jerk. {{spoiler|He's not, he's just been acting all this time because he didn't want anyone to know that he's just a scared kid like everyone else and that his brother, heralded as a heroic protector, is actually an abusive [[Jerkass]].}}

* Disney:

* In ''[[Lilo and Stitch (Disney film)|~~Liloand~~ Stitch]]'', when Lilo's home gets destroyed by a bunch of aliens, it's played for laughs. When [[Promotion to Parent|Nani]] and social worker Cobra Bubbles come back (just after Nani was able to convince him NOT to separate her from Lilo)...it leads to the social worker deciding to take the little girl away, much to Nani and Lilo's despair.

** Along the same lines, it's hard to not laugh when a young [[Hercules (Disney film)|Hercules]] accidentally sets off a [[Disaster Dominoes]] that destroys an entire agora. But when the understandably upset townspeople proceed to yell at and insult [[Break the Cutie|the poor guy...]]

** And near the beginning of ''[[The Aristocats]]'', the evil butler kidnaps the titular cats so he can leave them all for dead in the French countryside. However, in the process he is attacked by a pair of dogs leading to an entire three minutes of slapstick. When the butler finally escapes the two dogs, we find out that the basket containing the cats fell out of the butler's motorcycle while the dogs were still attacking him, and the cats immediately realize upon waking up that they are all no longer with their owner, and at the same time, said owner goes crazy when she finds out that her cats are gone.

** And the scene in ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' where Quasimodo is crowned the King of Fools by Clopin because of his hideous appearance, only to be tied to a torture wheel and immediately humiliated. Cue Esmeralda.
