I still think about this

Overview

A meme composed of two panels. The top panel is a screenshot from Disney's animated 'The Jungle Book' depicting Baloo the bear swinging兴奋地 on a vine, alongside Mowgli holding a female character (likely Shanti), both with happy expressions. Green circles are overlaid on specific body areas of the characters. The bottom panel is a black-and-white sketch of a muscular character swinging on a vine, with a checkmark in the bottom right. The top of the image features the text 'I still think about this', implying a nostalgic or humorous reflection on the comparison between the animated scene and the sketch. The watermark 'boredpanda.com' is visible at the bottom right.

Origin notes

This meme is a user-created remix combining a screenshot from Disney's original animated 'The Jungle Book' (1967 or 2003 adaptation) and an unrelated sketch. It was edited using image software to add green highlight circles and the top text. The 'boredpanda.com' watermark indicates publication on Bored Panda, a platform for curated memes and creative content. The original animated scene is from Disney's classic, while the sketch appears to be fan-made or an original drawing.

A meme featuring a text overlay at the top that reads: 'Disney '......No no. We're not gonna remake this one''. Below the text is a screenshot from Disney's animated film 'Tarzan' (1999), showing Tarzan—an animated character with brown hair, minimal clothing, and a determined expression—climbing a tree branch in a lush jungle setting with green foliage and sunlight filtering through. The humor stems from the implication that Disney, known for remaking many of its animated classics into live-action films, is avoiding remaking 'Tarzan', possibly due to challenges like the character's minimal attire or the complexity of adapting the jungle environment.

This is a four-panel collage meme with text at the top stating 'Sometimes I think Disney was more inclusive when it wasn't trying so hard to be.' The four panels below showcase scenes from older 2000s Disney animated films that naturally center non-white protagonists and their family/community dynamics: top left shows Tiana from *The Princess and the Frog* (a Black protagonist set in 1920s New Orleans) working as a waitress carrying trays of food and drinks; top right shows the Indigenous Alaskan main character family from *Brother Bear* posing together with happy expressions; bottom left shows the Indigenous Mesoamerican Pacha family from *The Emperor's New Groove* smiling and posing together as a group; bottom right shows Native Hawaiian sisters Nani and Lilo from *Lilo & Stitch* interacting on a beach, with Nani kneeling to speak to a dejected Lilo. The meme makes the argument that older Disney projects included more authentic, unforced diverse representation compared to modern Disney releases that are often criticized for performative, tokenized inclusivity.

The meme consists of a top text section and an image below. The top text reads: 'In Big Hero 6 (2014) this is how Aunt Cass actually looks in this scene, and not the way I know you're thinking about.' Below the text is a still image of Aunt Cass, a character from the 2014 animated film Big Hero 6. She is leaning forward on a table with her right hand resting on her head, wearing a black shirt, and has a surprised or amused expression with wide eyes and an open mouth. The background shows a kitchen setting with various appliances and items, consistent with her character's role as a café owner in the movie. The text playfully addresses a common perception or meme about Aunt Cass's appearance, clarifying that this is her actual look in the scene, contrasting with how some viewers might imagine or have seen her portrayed in other contexts.

This multi-panel meme features text at the top paired with three stills from popular, critically acclaimed American 2D animated films released between 1998 and 2004. The top text claims that American animation output in this time period had unique creative quality, then declined abruptly for an unclear reason. The top large still is a scene from 2002's *Treasure Planet*, showing main character Jim Hawkins and John Silver on the railing of a space sailing ship against a starry purple sky. The bottom left still is a scene from 1998's *The Prince of Egypt*, showing a hooded figure overlooking a large Egyptian construction site with monuments and laborers. The bottom right still is a scene from 2001's *Atlantis: The Lost Empire*, showing characters Helga Sinclair and Kida looking angry. The meme expresses nostalgia for the bold, experimental 2D animated theatrical features released by major American studios in this era, before the industry largely shifted to 3D CGI animation and more formulaic family film content.

A two-panel comparison meme featuring character designs from Disney and DreamWorks animated movies. The left panel shows a detailed, realistic drawing of a handsome male head with soft features, labeled 'Every male protagonist in a animated Disney/dream works movie:'. The right panel shows a stylized, exaggerated cartoon character with a prominent nose and expressive lines, labeled 'Everyone else:'. The meme humorously highlights the contrast between the typically realistic, conventional attractiveness of male protagonists versus the more diverse, exaggerated designs of other characters.

This meme playfully subverts Disney Princess tropes by arguing that Kronk from *The Emperor's New Groove* embodies the core traits typically associated with Disney Princesses: he is a skilled cook (known for his spinach puffs in the film), enjoys interacting with kids, communicates with animals (evidenced by the bird beside him), and has a kind, golden heart. The image shows Kronk in a cheerful, jungle setting, happily writing with a quill on a clipboard, reinforcing his wholesome and capable nature. The text overlay contrasts the expected "Disney Princess" label with Kronk, framing him as the unexpected but perfect fit for those wholesome qualities.

The image consists of two main sections. The top section features text contrasting a woman's assumption and a man's thought: 'Her: He’s probably thinking about other girls' and 'He: 1 or 2', accompanied by two gray dinosaurs wearing ties, labeled '1' and '2'. The bottom section shows a woman and a man lying in bed; the woman appears concerned with her arms crossed, while the man looks thoughtful with his hand under his pillow. The humor subverts the common trope of women assuming men think about other people by revealing the man is instead pondering a trivial choice between two dinosaurs.

A meme featuring two animated characters, Flint Lockwood and Sam Sparks from the movie 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,' lying in bed under blue blankets. Both characters are positioned side by side, with the female character (Sam) on the left and the male character (Flint) on the right. Above them is text displaying identical dialogue: 'Her: wow where did he learn how to do that' and 'Him: wow where did he learn how to do that,' creating a humorous effect of both asking the same question simultaneously, likely implying they are referring to a third party's unexpected skill or ability.

This meme humorously ranks animation quality, arguing that the iconic small detail from Disney's 1973 *Robin Hood* — where the limbless snake character Sir Hiss crosses his own body to mimic crossed human arms — is an unmatched high point of animation creativity. The top text lays out the tiered joke: basic animation, great animation, then the snake crossing his arms, and the image below shows the exact original animation still of Sir Hiss pulling off this clever visual gag.

A three-panel comic strip illustrating the observer effect. In the first panel, a wildlife researcher with blonde hair wearing a green shirt is writing in a notebook while observing three serious-looking gorillas (two on the ground, one hanging from a branch). In the second panel, the researcher looks away from her notebook. In the third panel, with the researcher gone, the gorillas are revealed to be relaxed with potbellies, smoking, and appearing much less serious - showing their true behavior when not observed.

This is a 4-panel meme using characters from the 2000 DreamWorks animated film *The Road to El Dorado*. The joke functions as a meta gag that subverts the standard left-to-right, top-to-bottom reading order of most western comics and memes. The dialogue flows correctly only if read top right → bottom left → bottom right: 1. The priest character Tzekel-Kan yells at the chief, 'You're doing it right now!'; 2. Chief Tannabok responds, confused, 'But why would I ever do that?'; 3. Tzekel-Kan explains, 'Sire, this meme only makes sense if you read the panels backwards.' Viewers who initially read the panels in standard order experience the same confusion as the chief, making the self-referential joke land effectively.
