Does This Remind You of Anything?/Film/Animated Films

Hopefully unintentional, but The Brave Little Toaster gives us this:

Air Conditioner: I'm real scared there, Kirby. What're you gonna do, suck me to death?

- Am I the only one who thinks some of Lampy's lines, out of context, could be taken as a liking for S&M?

Lampy (original): It's just like that feeling I get when I think about the master.
Lampy (Goes to Mars): I like being used!

Re-watching Disney's Cinderella as an adult, the scene where the step-sisters rip apart Cinderella's dress now eerily reminds me of rape.
An interesting one between two stories used by Disney: Mufasa's death in The Lion King is actually quite similar to how Shere Khan dies in the book version of The Jungle Book.
In Tangled, in the campfire scene, replace the crown with Rapunzel's virginity. Mother Gothel tells her that Flynn is only after one thing and once he gets it, he will leave her.
- Rapunzel's hair can also be seen as a symbol of her virginity, having gotten its power from a magic flower. Thus, Flynn "deflowered" her when he slashed her hair with a pointy object. It's even worse if you listen to the reprise of "Mother Knows Best" on the soundtrack. Without almost totally visual context, this is exactly what it sounds like. This is even worse when you think back to the original story.
  - This adds a even creepier factor to the Stabbington Brothers' "We want her" line. It's already pretty misinterpretable, but they want her 'magic hair', when they first wanted the 'crown'.
- Also, when Flynn tries to use "the smolder" on Rapunzel and it doesn't work, he remarks "This is kind of an off day for me, this usually doesn't happen," as if he were talking about something other than merely trying to charm a woman.
- Not to mention the scene where the Stabbington brothers encounter Rapunzel and try to capture her. The ominous atmosphere made it seem more like they were trying to rape her.
Re-watching Disney's Fantasia as an adult, I realize, the alligators that I thought were trying to "eat" the hippos and other female animals? No, look at those looks in their eyes and the way they flirtatiously dance with their targets. They have something else in mind entirely. *wink*
In Gnomeo and Juliet, the height of a gnome's hat seems to parallel with the size of something else. Made especially apparent when Nanette asks Juliet about the size of Gnomeo's hat, and when a jealous, small-hatted Tybalt deliberately smashes Benny's especially large hat.
In The Incredibles, when Mr. Incredible is out rescuing people from a burning building, Helen spots something on his collar and says, "Is that... rubble?" in the same tone of voice one would say "Is that lipstick?"
- And his response goes with this too, in a terribly funny way: "It was just a little... workout. Just to stay loose!"
The entire scene depicting Esmeralda's dance from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. First she appears out of a puff of smoke onto a stage, then starts to perform a sultry dance, then runs up to Frollo, wraps her scarf around him and kisses him, then runs back onto the stage and continues her dance, then splits and winks at the viewer, revealing a brief closeup of her Green Eyes, then gets back up and grabs a spear from one of the guards' hands, before finally driving said spear into the stage and dancing around it as if it was a pole!
- At the end of the film, just right after Frollo falls to his doom, Quasimodo actually looks like if he is marrying Esmeralda (whom because of her almost being tried and sentenced to death by burning by Frollo for a crime she did not commit, is now left with a long, white dress since all of her other outfits were presumably destroyed by Frollo so that she would be executed properly before the trial) to Phoebus.
In the first Toy Story, Buzz's Heroic BSOD when he realizes that he is a toy seems like someone who has just realized they have mental health issues.
- Also, compare the climax of the third film with that of The Brave Little Toaster!
The final battle between Rourke and Milo at the end of Atlantis: The Lost Empire is reminiscent of a bully beating up a nerd. Guess which is which!
Another Disney example: in The Little Mermaid, when Ariel is first transformed into a human and swims up to the surface, she bursts from the waves gasping for breath, nude but for her Seashell Bra, her head flung back, her back arched, looking for all the world as if she were having an orgasm. Since the entire story can be interpreted as a metaphor for a young girl becoming a woman and discovering her sexuality, and the potential perils of love and sex, this may very well have been intentional.
- Ursula, while not a good character, was sane and composed during most of the film. However, when she transforms into Vanessa, its implied that she lost quite a bit of sanity (to the point of becoming a borderline Ax Crazy) when turning into her, as she talks to her mirror in a manner similar to a schizophrenic, emits a psychotic grin when throwing a pin at a mirror's head with enough velocity to knock the mirror back, and most certainly kill a person had that been a human being, not to mention her cackling.
The Road to El Dorado: The scene where Tzekel-Kan completes the potion that summons the huge jaguar stone-beast-thing. Orgasm much?
- Speaking of orgasm face, Tulio really gets into that massage he's gives Chel.
- Miguel and Tulio's entire relationship. The entire 2nd half of the movie reads like a breakup.
Batman Beyond The Return Of The Joker features this with The Joker and his Foe Yay with Batman leading to a scene where he corners Batman in his batcave, throws him into a chair, and leans over him while getting really close to his face with a rape face.
Horton Hears a Who!: The Mayor of Whoville is ridiculed for believing there's a giant invisible elephant in the sky. Sound familiar?
