What's the number one rule we as children were taught by our parents? Most of us were taught this lesson early in life, as the risk of being taken by a stranger was a very real fear for both children and parents alike. However, how do you reinforce this idea and lesson into your children's minds when the namesake children's brand Disney is telling your children otherwise?
Thanks to modern films like Frozen, we have gotten a glimpse into Disney's maturing views and realizations that love doesn't happen that quickly. In the world of animated films, no one has more hit movies than Disney. From films about flying carpets and genies to films about toys that come to life, the world of Disney is vast and full of magic that both children and grown-ups can bond and share memories over. These films more often than not stand the test of time, telling stories of love, loss, and the power of hope in the most hopeless of circumstances.
One thing that people may not think about however is just how realistic or logical these films can be. "I hope my comic does justice to the issue and I am honored to be a part of the project of Rewriting Extinction. We will also use the comic to raise funds for World Animal Protection, which is actively addressing this issue. I just hope we can educate as many people as possible, another small move for a better future, for a better world," Jenny told me. She suggested that anyone hoping to help fight against the bear bile trade should consider supporting World Animal Protection or Animals Asia, avoid using products that contain bear bile, and do what they can to raise awareness about the topic. Jenny revealed to Bored Panda that Rewriting Extinction contacted her last year and introduced her to the extremely ambitious project.
"I was really amazed how many celebrities and artists are involved in the project, so many people with the goal to improve something for our environment and animals. World Animal Protection is one of the organizations that partnered with Rewriting Extinction and proposed the bear bile subject," she shared. It's about this emotional topic that comic artist Jenny Hefczyc, aka Jenny Jinya, whose comics about the Loving Reaper Bored Panda has featured extensively over the years, has drawn an emotional comic. Jenny told me that she has the impression that a lot of people have never heard about bear bile farming before. Artist Justin Hall has been working on various comics for a decade now, often featuring famous characters from various movies, games, and cartoons.
This time, Hall puts a twist on Disney characters by putting them through a social media filter. Everybody knows their names and stories and it is not surprising that these beautiful and strong ladies are an inspiration to many artists. Bored Panda gathered comics about Disney Princesses from all over the web and invites you to take a look at cute, funny and sometimes a little twisted comics re-imagining the famous stories of Disney Princesses. Bored Panda brings you an exclusive look at Jenny's newest hard-hitting comic 'Mama Bear,' created together with Rewriting Extinction and World Animal Protection, about the horrors of the bear bile trade.
Be warned, though, just like her other stories, this one is a real tear-jerker. I had a friendly chat with both Jenny and project founder Paul, so be sure to read on for Bored Panda's in-depth interviews with both of them. One of the things that makes Disney films pop is the unlimited magic. These films have a certain quality to them that makes the film warm the hearts of fans everywhere and entertain all at once. What would films like Frozen or Beauty and the Beast be if it wasn't for the chemistry of the cast and the perfect quality to these character's relationships? That is where the magic of Disney stems from, and it's because of this magic that you can always tell when you are watching a Disney film.
This next logic comic points out the natural flaws of this logic, however, as at times the magic of the films can come off as a bit too robotic. The film Frozen points this out perfectly, with the song "Love is an Open Door" showing the perfect synch that two strangers get when they suddenly burst into song. The original House of Mouse crew was made up of Mickey Mouse, his pet dog Pluto, his girlfriend Minnie Mouse, and his friends Goofy, Donald, and Daisy Duck. The pals would all gather together for various adventures, starting businesses together or even arranging fun trips with their respected others.
The stories these friends told in their films and cartoons was the stuff that built the house of mouse, and yet there is one glaring problem within this core group of friends that has never made sense to Disney fans. One of the most popular films in the Disney film arsenal has to be Aladdin. The story of the poor street rat named Aladdin rising above his station in life to become a hero worthy of the love of the beautiful Princess Jasmine is a story as old as time itself. Whether it was the beautiful artistry or the incredible performance of the late Robin Williams as the Genie in the Lamp, this film has quickly become a classic amongst Disney fans.
However, because she can't speak, the man named Prince Eric has no idea who Ariel is, and so this logic comic showcases the strange reality of Ariel's situation, as he only spends time with her until he finds the "real" girl who rescued him. The Disney universe has and never will be able to get the infamous song about a snowman out of their heads for as long as the sun still burns. It's really easy to see that Disney's Frozen made a statement with their film. Challenging gender norms, identity, and the power of sisterhood, this film was a pioneer of its age, even broaching subjects of diversity and mental health awareness. Yet, in this logic comic, we see Elsa has no problem building a snowman without Anna once she lets loose with her powers in the mountains.
A beautiful princess put under a sleeping curse by the evil Maleficent, an evil queen of sorts who can transform into a large dragon and uses magic to wield power over the masses. It's not until a handsome prince named Philip comes along and saves the princess with true love's first kiss that the princess is able to wake, and the evil witch Maleficent is defeated. However, this logic meme shows the eventual outcome of this traditional ending, with Princess Aurora and Prince Philip having children and getting married. Madagascar was released on DVD and VHS on November 15, 2005 by DreamWorks Home Entertainment. The DVD included a short animated film The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper, and a music video "I Like to Move It," featuring characters from the film dancing to the song.
A Blu-ray version of the film was released on September 23, 2008. In 1998, DreamWorks and PDI had started development on an animated film titled Rockumentary, which featured a Beatles-esque penguin rock band. The idea was scrapped, but after production on Madagascar started, director Eric Darnell decided to revive the penguins, but make them a commando unit instead of a rock band.
At the Central Park Zoo, Marty the zebra celebrates his tenth birthday but has grown bored with his daily routine and longs to experience the wild. Marty's best friend is Alex the lion, who enjoys showing off for the public and his celebrity status as "the king of New York". Alex attempts to cheer Marty up, but Marty, still unsatisfied, learns that the zoo's penguins—Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private—are trying to escape, and follows them out. Alex, Melman the giraffe, and Gloria the hippopotamus pursue Marty and attempt to convince him to return.
The four, along with the penguins and two chimpanzees named Mason and Phil, converge at Grand Central Station where the authorities sedate them using tranquilizer guns. Under pressure from anti-captivity activists, the zoo is forced to ship the escaped animals by sea to a Kenyan wildlife preserve. During their travels, the penguins escape and take over the ship, intent on taking it to Antarctica. Their antics on the bridge cause the crates containing Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria to fall overboard and wash ashore on Madagascar. "It's almost impossible to describe how stressful and hard it was to get to this point.
BUT I promised myself I would do everything in my power to save species from extinction. I quit my jobs and put my life savings into bankrolling the project—and I couldn't be more proud. People LOVE it, and we're funding projects that buy land before it's sold to the mining/meat/logging industry, meaning we can give it to the local indigenous people to safeguard it forever. " the founder shared just how happy he is with the end result. According to Paul, the stress was unbelievable, however, it was all worth it in the end.
He made a lot of personal sacrifices as well, from time, energy, and his own peace of mind to actually quitting his jobs and using his life savings to finance the project.

The three-film franchise follows Woody the cowboy sheriff toy, Buzz Lightyear the space hero action figure, and several other toys, who belong to their person, a boy named Andy. With the constant threat of being forgotten or left behind as their child get's older, the toys struggle through adventures to find their place in the world and live their lives to the fullest before they become useless in the future.
It's a sometimes tragic, often funny and beautiful story of friendship and finding one's place in the world. However, one thing that you'd think would help the toys stay relevant or live in their home is the fact they can talk. In the first film the toys talk to scare the bully next door who tries to destroy them, yet when they are about to be destroyed in the third and most tragic film of the series, they stay silent. You've just narrowly escaped a grisly end at the hands of a hunter, and you're looking for a place to lie low as an evil queen is searching the entire kingdom for you.
Coming across a cabin in the woods, you feel overjoyed at the prospect of finding safety. You find the home empty, and take it upon yourself to hide in this abode. Would you get some rest and be ready to take off at a moments notice, just in case the queen's soldiers found you? While you may have chosen the first option, this logic comic points out how Snow White chose option B, taking it upon herself to clean this random house and then sleep in the occupant's bed.
Most of us would call the authorities or call 911 to find help for this mute woman who has no clothes and can't reveal her identity or what happened to her. However, in this next logic comic, we see the failed logic of Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid that caused him to go in a completely different direction. Once he found Ariel, he should have gotten her help, but instead, he brought her into his home and fell in love with her. Another classic hit film for the Disney brand has to be Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. The story of an evil queen jealous of a young woman whose beauty outshines hers is a classic. The evil queen sends a hunter to end her life, but the hunter spares her and Snow White goes into hiding with seven dwarves.
Well, before she went and got put into a sleeping curse like her friend Aurora, Snow White should have asked the dwarves for help. However, at the place she calls home, her fairy godmother arrives to grant her wish, and the young woman known as Cinderella asks to attend the ball, the everyday clothes and items around her turning into the stuff of royalty. At the ball, she meets and falls in love with the handsome prince, but as the clock strikes midnight she must flee back to her home. You'd think that kind of memorable night would stay with a person, but this cartoon shows how illogical the film's final act is, as the prince takes the glass slipper she left behind and goes searching for its owner.

And let us know in the comments if you've had any peculiar or intriguing insights into Disney movies as well. Our day-to-day lives have changed a lot since the pandemic started. For a lot of us, life has slowed down, we're spending way more time at home, and we've got enough spare time to finally evaluate what's most important to us. Even though the quarantine is scary, it's also provided us with a whole new perspective on life. We've seen Disney princesses reimagined as career-focused women of 2018, we've adored someone recreating the famous characters of cartoons as real-life people.
But this cartoonist offers a new twist to the iconic Disney stories, rewriting it based on various social media sites. We have sent an email to the address you provided with an activation link.

I think in 20 years' time, we'll have really built a world that's more co-existent, healthier, cleaner, and better for people and wildlife.
"For some animals I've never or rarely drawn, I have to look at different references. For example, I had to look more closely at how the snout of a shark is shaped, it's not just pointed, it goes up at a bit of an angle in some species. Or that in suckerfish, the surface for sucking is on their head and they don't just use their mouth, I didn't know that before because I never dealt with the fish before.
But such details are important and I want to take them into account," the comic artist pointed out that she believes the details are vital. However, I was curious to find out how Jenny approaches drawing animals that she's not as familiar with as others. She said that she's drawn some animals like cats, dogs, and birds so many times throughout her life that the process is smooth and quick. However, in this next logic comic, we see the film is just as susceptible to mistakes as anyone else. One of the more interesting things you never notice off hand in the Disney films is just how often the female characters find themselves in despairing situations and their classic reactions to those scenarios. In almost all of these Disney films, the main female character will learn of some great disparaging situation and will discover the possibility that all hope is lost.
This will lead to tears, as well as the character throwing themselves onto the nearest piece of furniture. I understand grief can be overpowering, but this move is repeated several times over and over again in several different films for the brand. And not to mention, it's always the female character of the film, not the male character. This doesn't do a whole lot to help the equality or feminism cause that the world is trying to steer towards more often these days.
The story of the Little Mermaid is all about self-discovery. A young woman/mermaid longs for adventure and to discover the realities of man's world. However, her overprotective father and king Trident refuses to let his daughter Ariel near the human world. So instead, she makes a deal with an evil sea witch, hoping to find the human man she saved before and fall in love with him.
However, in exchange for making her human, the sea witch takes her voice, and Ariel is left voiceless. One of the longest-running romances in modern history has to be that of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The two have been through the thick of it, dating since 1928. From the early days of black and white cartoons to the invention of Technicolor television and even more modern day cartoons invading the internet, these two cartoon characters have been inseparable. Yet, in all these years of being a romantic couple, living through several different world wars and fronting controversies over the years, the one thing this longstanding cartoon couple has yet to do is get married.
He was fascinated with visual arts and arts in general for as long as he can remember. He was obsessed with playing and making music in his teens. After finishing high school, he took a gap year to work odd jobs and try to figure out what he wanted to do next. Finally, around 2016, he started learning how to use Photoshop and hasn't stopped since. He started working as a visual advertisement producer in 2017 and worked there for almost two years. In his spare time, he creates graphic collages and even had his first artwork exhibition at "Devilstone".

In the original story, a king raped her in her sleep and she gave birth, waking up when one of the children sucked the flax off her finger. Gabrielli provided some background voices until the directors and producer asked her and her fellow actors if they wanted to try their voices for the role. Upon seing a black and white sketch of Nana, Gabrielli knew that she wanted to voice her.
