Line 26:
* ''[[Thumbelina]]''. Every time she gets kidnapped, she keeps letting the kidnappers take advantage of her. She could be excused since she's lived a sheltered life, but common sense should have stepped in at some point and while she does eventually stand up for herself, it's not until the last ten minutes of the movie. Yeah...
* ''[[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers]]'' has Mickey getting this temporarily when confronting Pete about his wrongdoing. He stands tall and alone against someone much bigger and stronger than he is instead of making a strategic retreat to get Goofy (who he doesn't know has been captured) or some other reinforcements.
* [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]] is taken in by a suspicious creepy old man who shows up in his jail cell, despite being pretty savvy and street-smart up to and after this point, just because he has to in order to facilitate the plot/genie.
** Given how harsh the law seems to be in Agrabah, I.E. getting your hand cut off for stealing, the penalty for kidnapping the princess is almost certainly death. Aladdin was going with the option that looked less likely to get him killed.
*** And if nothing else, at least it gets him ''out of the jail cell''. Given how good Aladdin is at ducking and running, its not unreasonable for him to go with the logic 'sure, this guy is almost certainly ultra skeevy, but if I can get so much as two minutes' head start...'
* In ''[[Rugrats Go Wild]]'', Spike seems to be pretty clever for a dog. He spends a musical number dodging and humiliating a huge leopard... but then he stupidly mentions that there's a group of lost, helpless infants somewhere on the island, and the leopard immediately goes looking for them to eat them.
