@@NelsonARuehl That's what makes the best Disney villain songs IMO, they manipulate the heroes through weaponizing truths for their own wicked means.

Frollo is right that humans can be cruel to the most in need among them, but he completely omits the good humanity is capable in order to keep Quasimodo under his control.

Ursula is right that human society's expectations of women is stifling and obsessed with the performance of femininity, but she twists it from a warning into advice, promising Ariel her every desire if she abandons who she is and embraces the persona of a stranger.

Scar is right that the hyenas are struggling to survive in the Elephant Graveyard following their exile from the rest of the Pride Lands, but instead of offering a more equal hierarchy he promises revenge, a hierarchy that puts himself and the hyenas alone atop the Circle of Life and relegates the rest into the same destitution the hyenas endured.

Jafar is right that Aladdin's status as prince was unearned, but he completely ignores that Jafar gained his status in the very same way, and while Aladdin's use of magic for status harmed no one, Jafar's enacted suffering upon an entire Sultanate.

Dr. Facilier is right that the paths a person can take in life is often limited by the their birth and the environment the live and lived in, but instead of using his power and connections to elevate the downtrodden to the position of the privileged, he aims to kidnap and turn the the wealthy into frogs and use them as blood magic batteries for the purposes of extracting what resources he can through their image, and when he has no further use for them, he'd presumably kill them.

The world is cruel
The world is wicked
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city
I am your only friend
I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you
I who look upon you without fear
How can I protect you, boy, unless you
Always stay in here
Away in here
You are deformed
(I am deformed)
And you are ugly
(And I am ugly)
And these are crimes
For which the world
Shows little pity
You do not comprehend
(You are my one defender)
Out there they'll revile you
As a monster
(I am a monster)
Out there they will hate
And scorn and jeer
(Only a monster)
Why invite their calumny
And consternation
Stay in here
Be faithful to me
(I'm faithful)
Grateful to me
(I'm grateful)
Do as I say
Obey
And stay
In here
Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below me
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories they show me
All my life I memorize their faces
Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them
But part of them
And out there
Living in the sun
Give me one day out there
All I ask is one
To hold forever
Out there
Where they all live unaware
What I'd give
What I'd dare
Just to live one day out there
Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
Ev'ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If I was in their skin
I'd treasure ev'ry instant
Out there
Strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning out there
Like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there
Just one day and then
I swear I'll be content
With my share
Won't resent
Won't despair
Old and bent
I won't care
I'll have spent
One day
Out there

While I won't say beauty and the beast is Stockholm syndrome, I do think the plot needed more work than what Disney gave it to remove the worst of the unfortunate subtext.

The original beauty and the beast (and also similar stories) were often about offering young woman trapped in unhappy marriages a fantasy escape: "I know you're new husband seems like a terrifying monster. But get to know him, and be good and virtuous no matter his bad temper and maybe he'll turn out alright!"

Too tired to brainstorm an example plot right now, but I'd start by finding a way to have Beauty live with/become involved with/get intermingled Beast without any sort of threats or coercion from him to her.

You'd probably also want to remove anything that carries parallel to real life domestic abuse (like breaking shit when he's angry).

Probably also, the catalyst for Beasts change shouldn't directly be Beauty. You want to absolutely get rid of any implications like "You can fix him."

To Disney's credit, I think they smoothed over a lot (and Gaston's devolution helps cover the remaining cracks.)

I love the transition from pessimism to optimism.

@chloel.8007

It sort of happens again in Heaven's Light/Hellfire :)

@Iyana

Chloe Easterling You're right! :D

@Castropher

Yes Alan Menken is a musical genius! It's a transition from a minor key (Dark sound) to a major key (Happy sound).

@shurtadol_

It’s similar to Heaven’s light/hellfire

@shurtadol_

Chloe Easterling Ha! We thought of the same! Nice :)

I always shed tears at this part. The humility and optimistic desperation of Quasimodo, in this part, are unbearable for me. He ask for so little, yet It sounds like he thinks of It as an impossible wish. It hurts my heart seeing how much Frollo damaged his confidence and made him feel like a prisoner.

@NelsonARuehl

Tbh frollo ain't wrong, people can be unnecessary cruel to unfortunate people.

@zerg2820
