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.
