Tumblr Is Blowing the Minds of Long-Time Disney Fans with These 30 Memes and Clever Takes
"I finally get the joke!"
Disney is no longer just a company that makes movies; their shows shape childhood memories that many of us carry into adulthood.
Yes, the corporation that owns the most magical place on Earth is a capitalistic enterprise that can't really be trusted, but that's an entirely different discussion. Sketchy business practices aside, Disney creates films that provide a reprieve for many of us.
While their animated movies may be made for kids, adults enjoy them just as much. The beautiful art, the wonderful stories, and the lore in all Disney movies compel us to open our wallets.
We spend hours after watching one of their films dissecting hidden messages and searching for Easter eggs we might have missed. We wrack our brains looking for the deeper meanings and valuable lessons we can glean from their stories.
In addition to that, we try our best to outdo each other in creating hilarious memes that others can enjoy. It takes a ~true~ Disney fan to connect one Disney movie with another.
The Disney memes and hot takes that go viral are usually successful in doing this. They take seemingly innocuous details that most of us overlook and uncover the real meanings and intentions behind them.
Many Disney movies are more clever than we initially thought. Luckily, the fans are just as smart, if not smarter, so here are the memes and mind-blowing realizations they posted online!
