Thanks guys. He was cool, and super mellow.

I read the original Beauty and the Beast (years ago) and I don't remember abuse in it. I found this: Stockholme Syndrome in Disney
I wish I found this sooner, it explains it better than what I find online. Figures huh?

Would the Hunchback really be stockholm? I mean he was raised by the guy.. that's more of grooming (not in a pervy way) more than stockholm.

Kinda the same with Tangled.. she was kidnapped as a baby and raised to believe that she was the mother...



There's a version of Beauty and the Beast out there when she had 2 brothers and 2 or 3 sisters.. and one of those brothers was a great hunter. The father was a merchant and had to go away on business with promises to bring back gifts for the kids, Belle had requested a Rose instead of dresses and trinkets like her sisters.

I forget if the ship he was on sank or something but he came across the Beasts Garden and picked a rose from one of the rose bushes and it got him into trouble with the beast (theft!) and .. Belle offered to take his place..

the hunting specialist brother wanted to save his sister from the horrid beast .. I can't really remember how the rest went but I just kept thinking "OMG, Disney tried to get her brother to marry her!! Gaston is soo totally her brother!" xD

What else do people consider stockholm in disney? x'D I couldn't open that pintrist image

I dunno. People are confusing when it comes to Disney.

I only know of about two versions. The original and an alternate one.

I dunno. I didn't think it was really dark, but it was messed up a bit so there's that. It's not like anyone was raped or murdered that I can remember. I know the original Sleeping Beauty dealt with rape and Rapunzel, who never had contact outside of Dame Gothel (what she was originally called) had sex with the prince. I don't know if it was rape, but she was naive and he took advantage of that. In the original Sleeping Beauty had a splinter in her finger and Snow White had a piece of apple stuck in her throat. Once removed they awoke.

Ugh. I've been an emotional wreck today. And I'm mad at my brother because he doesn't have his boys reading at home or watching something educational once in awhile. Normally, I wouldn't care but one of my nephews kept claiming a bird's nest could be a bee hive instead. Then he gets annoyed when Joslyn corrects him. And I explain that it was a bird's nest and that she is right. I'm not going to stop my daughter from being smart, just because it annoys her cousins. I can't wait for my nieces and nephew to be home from NY. Alice is really smart too so they'd be able to talk about that sort of thing. And Alice is the same age as the twins, 7. She'll be 8 this month.

o-O at that point I think I'd have on national geographic or some sort of educational documentary when ever he came over and not allow anything else on till he left...

Will Smith is gonna be in some new ones that Disney+ is putting out about earth

They don't come over. They're a bit too rowdy for Mom. My sister's kids are better behaved. Also my nephews are drama queens. Hunter wanted to go back home to get his water bottle for PE, and though they live across the alley from us, I couldn't let him because I didn't want him missing the bus. He started crying. We were on the porch to stay warm, so I asked Joslyn to go inside and get one of our water bottles for him.

Ugh!!!

They sound like a pain...o3o,
