The legal side of Reddit recently took on some of Disney's evilest villains as clients, and came up with pretty solid defenses for the lot of them:

Either Disney Japan's Twitter has a pretty cruel sense of humor or some ignorant employees.
On Aug. 9, the official Japanese Twitter account for Disney tweeted out the following message to its 277,000 followers:
According to Kotaku the Japanese at the top reads "Congrats on a trifling day" before the Alice in Wonderland message.
Well, you see, Aug. 9 was also the 70th anniversary of the World War II atomic bombing of Nagasaki. In that event, according to Wikipedia, "roughly 39,000–80,000 people were killed. About half of these died immediately, while the other half suffered lingering deaths."
Not exactly a "trifling day" for the country who marked the occasion with solemn ceremonies, commemorating all of those 'unbirthdays'.
Kotaku, through translating Japanese news site My Game News Flash, points out that this isn't the only time the Twitter account has made a less-than-sensitive post.
The account posted this, reading "Enjoying your summer vacation?" last year on Aug. 15.
Aug. 15 marks the date of the Japanese surrender in World War II.
Additionally, the account posted this, reading "Giving you mid-summer sympathy" on Aug. 6.
Aug. 6 is the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, in which some 70,000-80,000 people died.
As Kotaku says:
My Game News points out that Disney Japan's Twitter account typically does not post messages like this (instead, the tweets are typically PR, introducing movies, TV shows, events or products), making these questionable tweets stand out even more. Why were these dates selected, people wondered.
Disney Japan has since apologized for the tweet and deleted it off of its account.
That's why you always get a screen shot.

Finnish artist and designer, Jirka Väätäinen has made a fantastic series of Disney Princesses (and others) drawn as if they were real life human people. Now, it's the dude's turn. Eight of Disney's hunkiest romantic leads, (princes and no) are turned into life-like pieces of art. Relive your pre-pubescent sexual awakening going through these childhood fantasies, it's only kind of awkward.
The men have been paired with their female counter-parts just to see how well the couples stack up.

Six year old Avery Huffman was recently diagnosed with an inoperable, cancerous brain tumor, but that won't stop her from being a princess! Kristen Bell, voice actress of Anna in Frozen, left a message for Avery letting her know that in light of her bravery, Avery will be crowned an honorary Princess of Arendelle.
No, I'm not crying! Someone is cutting onions in here.

There's a secret, dark reason Disney movies are lacking moms. As this series from College Humor points out, if only these girls had moms, THEIR FILMS WOULD NEVER HAVE NEEDED TO HAPPEN:
You know how sometimes Disney movies have ridiculous plot holes that you just can't ignore? Dorkly's got your back. These invented scenes will make you feel a whole lot better about things like the way Ariel can't seem to find another way to tell Eric she's his girl.
