There's plenty you could do with the characters. The Beast and his servants were stuck in a non-human hell for several years. They were isolated and apart from the rest of the world. How do they get used to being humans again? What do they have to relearn? Do they have any families waiting for them? How do you handle the father who died while you were a teacup? The changing political scene that didn't account for a furry in your castle?

What about Mulan? She and the other soldiers saw some shit, man. How do you get the images of dead children's bodies out of your mind? How do you forget that time you blew up part of a palace? Or the time your friends and captain almost died fighting the Huns?

What about the Merfolk/Human political scene? You've got an export economy based on fish, and now your new queen is telling you the fish are sentient. Fuck.

Pocahontas: Oh sweet baby Jesus where do I start? Congrats, Nakoma. Your crush is dead (and you blame yourself 'cause you sent him after Pocahontas) and you've been invaded. The invaders bring diseases and the civil rights movement is a few hundred years away. Oh, Thomas? You just shot somebody and you get to have nightmares about that for the rest of your life. Welcome to your twenties!

Tiana and Naveen get to see that while Dr. Facilier is dead, some of his sentient Voodoo dolls are haunting New Orleans, stealing souls and raising hell (literally).

There's tons of stuff you can have happen to Disney characters. Most of it horrible!

I really want that Princess and the Frog one.

[(Anonymous)]

I would really like to see Mulan coping with PTSD honestly...

And the Princess and the Frog ones sounds like it would be a dope sequel and now I'm sad that PatF will probably never get a sequel

[iceyred]

There are a couple of Disney flicks where the characters should rightly be traumatised by what went down. The Little Mermaid is one (I always thought Flounder would be a prime candidate), Mulan, Pocahontas, The Jungle Book...the list could go on.

LBR, most Disney sequels are crap.

[(Anonymous)]

True. At least we'll always have Lion King 2.

[(Anonymous)]

Lion King II is really king of the Disney sequels. Heck, the soundtrack alone is better than most post-Renaissance Disney soundtracks.

[kallanda_lee]

But most of these sounds issues you'd resolve quite quickly after the movie ended, not 20+ years after?

[(Anonymous)]

Realizing mermaids exist and fish are smart enough to talk sounds like a helluva 20 year problem to me. That could get interestingly political with 40 year old Eric and Ariel stuck in the middle.

[iceyred]

Not really. Some of the stuff could be handled in the short term. Political impacts can have consequences years and decades down the line. There are soldiers from Vietnam and the Gulf War who suffer from PTSD today. And who says that Voodoo dolls with a spark of evil wouldn't lie dormant for a decade or two, feeding off of bad feelings, sin, and whatever brutality they witness in back alleys, and that spark gets a little bigger every year...

What about the Merfolk/Human political scene? You've got an export economy based on fish, and now your new queen is telling you the fish are sentient. Fuck.

Dammit!

Of all the days to not get to F!S at the normal time. :(

I have Ideas..

[(Anonymous)]

And there's also the fact that some fish (most of them, I think) eat other fish, and how that would be perceived by the land folks. I daresay they'd see the merfolk as savages, or at least hypocrites.

[analise]

I was wondering about this. Humans are bad because they eat fish. Sharks are scary (presumably also because eating fish). Ursula is shown eating sentient shrimp or whatever...it's like...part of what makes her evil.

But Triton has his big seashell chariot pulled by dolphins.

Who eat fish.

So sharks are evil but dolphins are okay because reasons?

And do we really believe that mermaids just eat kelp or whatever all the time?

I keep feeling like this gets into "some fish are more equal than others" thing.

And this was my favorite movie as a kid. Not that I thought of these things at the time. :)
