kids movies

Many of us grew up admiring Disney princesses like Ariel or Sleeping Beauty as little girls. It's all fine until you get older and realize just how those characters majorly play into the unrealistic beauty and behavior standards for young girls. Luckily that's getting better nowadays with newer, more progressive Disney characters like Moana and Elsa.

We're all familiar with the story of Mulan from the classic '90s Disney movie, but what you probably didn't know is the lesser-known tale of Captain Li Shang questioning his sexuality. Being the '90s and all, people weren't as comfortable talking about different sexual orientations as we are now, but the story is finally coming out of the closet! (sorry.)

All jokes aside, please enjoy this hilarious retold version of Mulan!

Leave it to the internet to always meme an innocent children's movie. But what else were we really expecting? This time our main character is Toothless from the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy. The meme is all over Reddit right now, and has been adapted to anything from wholesome goodness to less-savory content!

Who knew the answer to huge problems in our society were actually so simple! This meme, known as "Well Boys, We Did It" which features the penguins from the movie Madagascar, sarcastically offers solutions to big cultural problems like racism, sexism and bullying with ideas that'll make you yell out, gee why didn't I think of that!

And as always, head over to Know Your Meme to keep updated on all things memes!

Disney has a reputation for being chock-full of wholesome content, which makes sense, given that the company is an American staple of children's media in America. However, being branded as "clean" doesn't mean the writers can't have a little fun with their jokes. In fact, we think it's even more impressive when the jokes are still funny to us adults without using any vulgar content. 

Here are some of Disney's most iconic examples of insults and comebacks!

The Pixar lamp intro has been a household name since the late '80s with the release of the short film "Luxo Jr." that depicts the little lamp character jumping on a ball. The internet has been making parody videos of the intro for years now, but lately memers everywhere have been creating dank memes out of the format. It's definitely a trend that we're loving right now!

Everyone's favorite green ogre is getting a reboot! Producer Chris Meledandri has stated that he plans to keep the original voice actors while creating new story lines. Some Shrek fans are skeptical about the revamp of the beloved cult classic, while others are stoked.

Will it be good? We don't know - all we really want is for Smash Mouth to be involved.

Did you know the word Shrek comes from the German "Schreck", which means fright or terror. This is the part, when you run. Shrek has made his way into all sorts of different merchandise. But if you are looking for a movie that took the world by storm in the same way, Bird Box and these hilarious memes are definitely a place to ramp it up (you might even find a Shrek meme thrown in there).
