18 Facts Even Die-Hard Disney Fans Might Not Even Know
Never going to look at a Disney movie the same way again...
#1 Mufasa and Scar aren't brothers.
"Scar and Mufasa couldn’t really be from the same gene pool. In fact, that’s what [Scar] says. There’s a line, he goes, ‘I’m from the shallow end of the gene pool,” producer Don Hahn said.
#2 Yen Sid, the sorcerer in Fantasia, is "Disney" spelled backwards.
Artist: Spartandragon12
#3 Ariel and Hercules might be cousins.
Lemme break this down: Ariel is the daughter of Triton. Triton is the son of Poseidon. Poseidon is the brother of Zeus. Zeus is the father of Hercules.
So, in short, Ariel and Hercules are cousins. Cool, right? Does this explain the matching red hair?
#4 Aladdin has a tell.
Whenever he tells a lie, which if we're being honest here, is a lot, his turban falls in his face. Jasmine totally saw through that poker face, didn't she?
#5 Ursula was modeled after a drag queen.
She was modeled after the fierce and fabulous Divine, which makes sense. No wonder Ursula is so glamorous!
#6 Elsa is the oldest princess.
She is the only princess who isn't a teenager, at the ripe, old age of 21. Snow White is on the opposite end, ringing in at the youngest, at age 14.
