Megawatt grin?

Balancing on a elephant trunk while lifting six men in a circle?

Facing 100 bad guys with swords?

75 golden camels?

53 peacocks?

Giant muscles?

Ninety-five white monkeys?

Sixty elephants balanced on top of three llamas balanced on top of three balls?

Bears and lions and more bears?

Going from a street rat to a fake prince back to a street rat then realizing your mistakes and doing the right thing and even eventually freeing the Genie?

Okay, that’s pretty impressive.

When You Get Lost in Your Car or in Life

Follow old Rafiki; he know the way.

When You Have an Injury That Needs Immediate Healing or You Need to Stay Young Forever

Rapunzel, pre-haircut, has the power to do all these things for you. (Warning: you might be evil if you have a weird desire to stay young forever. See: Mother Gothel.)

When You Need a Last-Second Escape or You Need to Save You Queen

He uses science to solve problems like Bill Nye. Basil is the science mouse of the Disney mouse world.

When You Need a Scrappy Inventor

He created a telescope out of a leaf and a drop of water. We bet he can make anything out of anything. Plus, he’s looks on the positive side of life and a little optimism is necessary for any emergency kit.

When You Need to Create an Instant Party Environment

Have you seen the Under the Sea scene lately?? Sebastian takes the ocean from a tad unappealing to awesome in ten seconds flat. (He’s also great for creating an instant romantic environment, obviously.)

When You Need Someone To Kick Some Serious Booty on Your Behalf

Danger, or trouble, she’s there on the double, you know that you always can call KIM POSSIBLE.

When You Need Quality Advice

This might be the most valuable one… great advice could keep you away from other problematic situations. Why do you understand everything, Jiminy Cricket? How do you do it? You are magical.

Well, we here at Oh My Disney have studied these MU monsters in detail, and we spotted some patterns (and tails, horns, and tentacles). Consider this the definitive guide on how to tell if your roommate is a monster.

He has lots of friends with nontraditional eye placement.

His beak is bigger than your head.

His smile spans his entire torso.

Her skin and hair are… brighter than usual.

He has at least one friend with wings.

Having worm-legs isn’t the most notable thing about him (them?).

He somewhat resembles a pet you had growing up. (RIP Airhead the gecko.)

He has sticky fingers (and we’re not talking about stealing).

One of her friends is JUST AN EYEBALL ON A STICK.

He seems to have an unusual fascination with being scary.

If monsters went to our universities, these are just some of the things we would look for. You can get a more comprehensive guide to the modern monster student on the official Monsters University website.

First, we get inspiration from somewhere. Like a phone call.

On this particular call, someone reminded us how great our fans are. And we thought… how do we show them that we think they’re stellar people?

Second, we brainstorm ideas.

We go around the circle and pitch editorial ideas. Some people horse around in these meetings. Others come up with total gems. Gems like “15 Reminders That You’re Great Today.”

Third, said gem pitcher has to write the article.

This can take time. And research. And Oh My Disney stickers for extra inspiration.

Fourth, the editors take a look.

You might think our editors are total nerds. But you’d be only partially correct. They also help us try to catch all the incorrect apostrophes and name spellings and ellipses. Then, they give their approval.

Fifth, the team looks at the calendar to find a spot for the story.

As with all group decisions, this involves a lot of staring. And then a consensus.

Sixth, the article is posted.

And the team checks out the post on the blog and says “we really hit the (metaphorical) bullseye with this one.”

Seventh, we celebrate.

With candy. Obv.

Aladdin’s Royal Caravan Parade (1992-1995)
Imagine that scene from Aladdin where Prince Ali shows up in Agrabah, except Agrabah is a Disney Park and its happening for reals. Make way, here he comes, ring bells, beat the drums…

They had the monkeys, go see the monkeys!

Don’t those camels look lovely, June?

Genie, can we make a wish to go back in time and see the parade again?

The World According to Goofy (1992)
How do you make a history lesson a little more fun?

Ludwig Von Drake is a good start, but Disneyland had something a little Goofy-er in mind.

Cleopatra or Clarapatra?

From the pyramids to politics, Goofy brought the hyucks to history.

Party Gras Parade (1990)
Calypso music. ✓ Party beads. ✓ ✓ Four story tall Disney character balloons. Where do we sign up?

Disneyland’s 35th Anniversary celebration was a blowout… of the helium sort. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto towered high in the sky for this full-on celebration in the streets.

Who knew the produce aisle could make such a wonderful fashion statement? Minnie knew, that’s who.

Mulan Parade (1998-2001)
With premieres at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, this parade brought the pageantry of Mulan to the streets of the Parks.

The dragon-master of ceremonies, Mushu, rides in style down Hollywood Boulevard.

Learn this lesson, kids… good guys get parades in their honor. Bad guys get tied to rockets and sent down the parade route.

The Lion King Celebration (1994-1997)
For three years, Simba, Pumbaa, Timon and the Pride Rock gang Hakuna Matata’d their way down Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A.

Fun Fact: You can still see the floats from The Lion King Celebration during The Festival of The Lion King show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida.

Hercules Victory Parade (1997-1998)
If there was ever a character born for a parade, it’s gotta be this guy:

Herc was on a roll… down the parade route, that is. And as the song says, “Honey… the crowds were going bonkers.”

Whoa, look at that float. Good God! (We mean that literally.)

We know what you’re thinking… what gives? No Mighty Ducks parade! Not even a float?!? We’re working on getting an official statement from Coach Bombay, but admit it – the Flying V formation on Main Street, U.S.A. would have looked pretty cool.

Gaston initially claims that when he was a “lad” he ate four dozen eggs every morning to achieve his intimidating stature. Right off the bat, that sounds like a lot of eggs, but just in case you were unsure, this is what forty eight eggs looks like:

That’s twelve times four, Gaston, far too many eggs for a single human being to eat, in our humble opinion. But because no one stepped in and taught Gaston to slow his roll when he was still young, he’s upped the stakes to five dozen eggs as a grown man. This is what five dozen eggs looks like:

Gaston, that is too many eggs. But just look at him go, horking down eggs like it’s no big deal:

He claims that ingesting so many eggs has made him roughly the size of a barge, and it’s no wonder. Let’s just say for argument’s sake that one egg is 100 calories, and Gaston is enjoying 60 of them daily…

Yep, 6,000 calories per day before he’s even had lunch. Now, Gaston is a very sizable and active young man, so he probably does need a lot of eggs to fuel all of his (literal) benching.

We’re not nutritionists or anything, but we did a little research on the recommended caloric intake for a healthy diet. It turns out Gaston is actually consuming enough eggs to fuel two very strong and active Gastons based on his breakfast alone!

So in conclusion, this isn’t just an opinion, Gaston. You are literally, metaphorically, quantitatively, and scientifically eating too many eggs. You might want to dial it back, buddy.

Unrelated, but funny:

The post Gaston, That is Too Many Eggs appeared first on Disney Blogs.

The Rhetorical Question

When Gaston asks, “Don’t I deserve the best?” The answer is always yes. Just nod in agreement. Please. We have to ask, are you okay, LeFou?

The Head Plonk

Gaston just chastised LeFou for joking about Maurice. But Gaston was joking about THE SAME THING literally 10 seconds earlier. All good henchmen know that repeating what their evil boss has just said gets you instant brownie points. So, this must’ve come as shock. Are you okay, LeFou?

The Aftermath

LeFou has ended up on the wrong end of Gaston’s laughing fit. If your boss is roughly the size of a barge, do yourself a favor and steer clear of any friendly pats on the shoulder. Also, look closely and you’ll notice that LeFou has been lugging the antlers from Gaston’s latest kill around this entire time. So, again: are you okay, LeFou?

The Don’t Ask

Gaston has just fallen into an especially muddy lake and Belle is nowhere in sight, so asking how the marriage proposal went seems a bit foolhardy. Are you beginning to understand why we’re concerned? Are you okay, LeFou?

The Knockout

It’s LeFou’s big number, which he spends reminding Gaston how great he is. Foolproof, right? Wrong. In a moment of pure over-excitement, LeFou spills his drink all over Gaston. Gaston doesn’t take this lightly. Ouch. Are you okay, LeFou?

The Eggsperiment

Note: Don’t juggle with eggs. Just don’t. Gross. Are you okay, LeFou?

The “I’m Fine”

LeFou is squashed by an enormous chair at the end of the last number and no one thinks to help him out. He has to sing the entire refrain from the under the chair. Not cool, townspeople. Are you okay, LeFou?

The Pain

We have to say, this one is totally LeFou’s fault. Never side with the angry mob, especially when headed to an enchanted castle. Are you okay, LeFou?

As you can see, LeFou is pretty much never okay. Hence our concern. The lesson? Don’t align yourself with the villain. It never ends well. LeFou learned this too late. We hope wherever he is, he’s found a better group of friends, has stopped juggling raw eggs, and generally accepts that he doesn’t need an evil counterpart to be special. Just be you LeFou! That is all.

Flounder has it rough at some parts in this story. He’s Ariel’s best pal, which you’d think would mean “devoting full time to floating under the sea,” but she’s an adventurer.

He tried so hard to get out of adventuring, by saying “I think I may be coming down with something. I got this cough.” And then Ariel takes him a little bit into danger. And he has this really great moment in which he says what we’re all thinking when we end up with a friend who’s more daring than we are: “This is great. I mean, I really love this. Excitement. Adventure. Danger lurking around every corner.”

Then his totally spot-on fears are proven entirely right when a SHARK APPEARS.

And he swims away and then there’s that whole Flounder and Ariel swim away from the shark chase sequence culminating in the shark getting stuck…

And then Flounder does our most favorite thing ever, which includes teasing the shark and saying “You big bully!”.

Classic.

Then there’s a lot more story in which Ariel gives up her voice and goes on an adventure for love.

Enter the real reason we want to just hug Flounder and never let go: he totally comes through in the end. Even though he’s afraid. And even though he’s just a little fish in a great big ocean. He totally steps up (swims up… how does that work with gills?) when Scuttle realizes Vanessa is *spoiler alert* the Sea Witch in disguise and swims Ariel across the ocean to fight for the man she loves.

And then he celebrates with his pals.

And King Triton. Which means he’s officially in with the guy who controls the sea.

Oh, Flounder. We know you’re not a guppy. And you make us feel better about the times we’re scared, because we know that being afraid doesn’t mean anything when a friend is in need. You stepped up. And we want to give you a great big hug. To say thanks for being scared and still being a hero.
