19 Annoying Disney Plot Holes That Still Don’t Make Any Fricking Sense

Disney movies take four to seven years to make

However, majority of the production, such as the animation and lighting takes around six to eight months. Which begs the question, what do they spend most of the time on?

The story of course!

There’s a reason why all the characters are so memorable. Disney takes their time to make sure that the story and the characters are absolutely wonderful. That the scenes they wish to animate get the proper reception. There’s no point in having a beautiful story where you start laughing during the sad scene.

Vice versa, there’s no point if you’re not giddy during the happy scenes either! Which is why plot holes are so difficult to find.

Difficult, but not impossible. In fact, some are glaringly obvious. I’m convinced that the people working on the movie left that out on purpose as an Easter Egg of sorts for the passionate Disney fans.

#1 Ariel can read and write. We know because she signs Ursula’s contract. The question is, when she meets Prince Eric, why doesn’t she find something to write on to communicate? Even the sand could work!

#2 Beast tells Belle not to go into the West Wing. She disobeys. Beast is mad. Belle is confused why.

#3 Both Pluto and Goofy are dogs, except one is a pet of the other.

#4 Every piece of the Fairy God Mother’s magic wore out. Except the glass slippers. Why?

#5 How can Mulan’s cover not be blown? She had countless face-to-face interactions!

#6 And Shang just abandons her once he finds out? She just saved everyone’s life!

#7 Anteaters are native to South and Central America. So what the hell are they doing in Africa singing with Simba?

#8 Why didn’t Cinderella just keep her cool? If she didn’t start singing in happiness, her stepmother wouldn’t have figured her secret out and locked her up!

#9 Not to mention dear old Charming’s method of finding Cinderella is stupid. She’s the love of his life. Won’t he just recognise her?

#10 Also, the shoe was supposed to fit her perfectly because magic. Perfect fits don’t slip out like this!

#11 When Aladdin asks to be Sultan, Genie gives him clothes and a parade. But when Jafar asks the Genie for the same thing, he replaces the monarchy with him at the helm. Where’s your loyalty, dude?

#12 What is Mulan’s sleeve made out of? She can wipe her makeup off completely. There’s no smudging either.

#13 The enchantress cursed Beast when he was a young boy. But the portrait of him is as a man. How!?!!

#14 The village is really close to Beast’s castle. Did they not notice how the statues turned into gargoyles overnight? Or how none of the castle-goers ever came back out?

#15 Elsa’s entire castle is made out of ice. Does that mean her plumbing too? Does she shower in snow? What about her toilet?

#16 Why is King Triton so goddamn angry when he finds Ariel’s grotto?

#17 Buzz believes he’s a space ranger but becomes still like toys in front of other people. That’s obviously an active decision!

#18 Is Snow White so dumb as to trust a complete stranger?

#19 Well, maybe it’s not White’s fault, since every Disney princess ever marries a complete and utter stranger for their happily ever after.
