This is a two-panel reaction meme. The top panel features promotional footage of the lead character from the announced 2026 Disney animated film *Hexed*, a teenage girl with dark purple hair casting a glowing red magical spell, with overlaid text reading 'Disney's Hexed (2026)'. The bottom panel shows a widely used screenshot of SpongeBob SquarePants with an unimpressed, sarcastic expression, raising one hand dismissively, with overlaid text that reads 'Let me guess, she's not your average teenage girl. She's different among the rest.' The meme satirizes Disney's repetitive, overused formula of writing 'quirky, not like other girls' female protagonists in their recent and upcoming animated features.

This is a comparison meme using the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' format. The top left panel shows the cheerful, friendly version of Maui from Disney's *Moana*, paired with the text 'HOW MAUI FROM MOANA ALMOST DIED' above the calm, smiling version of Mr. Incredible. The top right panel shows an illustration of the original Maui from Polynesian mythology, paired with text stating 'HOW OG MAUI DIED' above the dark, unsettling uncanny version of Mr. Incredible. The joke highlights that Disney softened the darker original myth of Maui, where the character dies, to a lighter family-friendly narrative where Maui only experiences a near-death experience in the film.

This meme contrasts writing tropes for modern and classic Disney villains. The top text explains that contemporary Disney villains are usually framed as misunderstood and secretly kind at heart. Below this, a screenshot of Claude Frollo, the villain from Disney's 1996 animated film *The Hunchback of Notre Dame*, is displayed with bold overlay text joking that Frollo burned down half of Paris solely because a Romani woman (Esmeralda from the film) refused to have sex with him, using the internet slang term "smash" for comedic effect. The gag highlights how unapologetically petty, extreme, and unsympathetic older Disney villains were, compared to the more sympathetic, redemptive villain arcs common in newer Disney media.

This is a two-panel lewd meme featuring the character Jane Porter from Disney's 1999 animated film *Tarzan*. Both panels are set in a rainy jungle environment, with Jane sitting on a tree branch. In the top panel, Jane has a shocked, confused expression, with speech bubble text reading 'So you... Never seen a women before?' (with an intentional typo of 'women' instead of the singular 'woman'). In the bottom panel, Jane shifts to a teasing, suggestive smirk as she leans forward, and her rain-soaked yellow dress is see-through, revealing her nipples underneath. The joke is a double entendre referencing the canonical Tarzan plot point where Tarzan has never encountered a human woman before, paired with the suggestive visual to imply a sexual come-on. The original post title 'Where's the rest of it?' refers to viewers wanting to see the continuation of this suggestive scene.

This is a two-panel reaction meme. Text at the top reads "I want the Disney prequel about these two. I know there's history there—and a fallout." The left panel features King Triton, ruler of Atlantica from Disney's *The Little Mermaid*, with an exasperated, annoyed expression. The right panel features Ursula, the film's main antagonist, leaning back with a smug, knowing expression. The meme jokes that the two characters have an unexplained, dramatic unresolved shared past that would make for a compelling prequel story, referencing widespread fan theories that the pair were related or former allies before their conflict in the original film.

Someone should spill that undersea tea.

The meme has stylized, elongated lyrics from Disney's 101 Dalmatians Cruella De Vil theme song printed at the top: two repeated lines of 'CRUELLA DEVILLEEEEEE', followed by 'IF SHE DOESNT SCARE YOUUUU' and 'NO EVIL THING WILLLLLL'. Below the text is a photo of a real Dalmatian (the breed targeted by villain Cruella De Vil in the 101 Dalmatians franchise) in a classically decorated living room, standing on its hind legs with front paws resting on piano keys, head tilted up and mouth open as if it is playing the piano and singing the printed lyrics aloud. The humor comes from the ironic juxtaposition of a Dalmatian performing the theme song for the villain that hunts its breed.

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.
