Disney Princesses all have one thing in common: animals love them.
And as such, those fuzzy little critters that always stuck by the sides of our favorite Disney characters are happily set in our memories. Disney fans congregated to Walt Disney Confessions to relive their favorite memories involving those sidekicks and critters.
Little April Shower
When my sister and I were little, we used to re-enact the scene in Bambi where he falls on the ice and Thumper helps him up, limb by limb. We would take turns being either Bambi and Thumper. [x]
I Want More
One of my favorite Disney characters is Flounder, because it is one of the better representations of anxiety and shyness around friends. He tries so hard to seem like he isn't scared of anything, especially around Ariel, when really he is nervous underneath. I hope Disney has more characters like him in the future, because I can relate to him so much. [x]
Mousey Business
I always loved all the mice in Disney movies. Theyre so cute! The Rescuers, the mice from Cinderella, Roquefort from the Aristocats, the priest and his wife in Robin Hood… they will always have a special place in my heart. [x]
Cinderelly
When I was little I would pretend to be Cinderella. I would ask my Mom to give me chores to do and to yell at me. I never wanted to be the pretty Cinderella at the ball, but the servant in her little room with the mice and birds. [x]
In Summer
I'm not sure is there's been a character that has surprised me more than Olaf. When I first saw the 'Frozen' teaser, I thought, "Ugh, he looks annoying." While I could see how he could come across that way for some, I was amazed by how much I loved his humor and his dedication to the sisters. Watching him has been the hardest I've seen my sister laugh at a movie in awhile. He's also now an absolute favorite of my two little nephews and he's my first Halloween costume in over a decade. Home run, Disney. [x]
Mama Kanga
I miss Kath Soucie providing the voice of Kanga from any of the Winnie The Pooh films from the early to mid 2000s. She added more personality and extra love and life to the character. Especially in Piglets Big Movie and Poohs Heffalump Movie. She had a beautiful singing voice in Poohs Heffalump movie and did a beautiful job in Piglets Big Movie. Kath Soucie if you are reading this, I just want to thank for doing a beautiful job as her and having the best voice of a mother I heard. [x]
Raja Envy
I always wanted a Tiger just like Jasmine. [x]
Back To The Cupboard With You Now, Chip
I never understood how Mrs Potts, a woman clearly in her mid-sixties, has a 6 year old son. Why couldnt they just make her Chips grandma instead? And what about all the other teacups in the cupboard she called his brothers and sisters? Playing favorites much? [x]
Not Just Comic Relief
I just realized that my favorites characters from every Disney movie are the comedic relief/sidekicks. Flounder and Sebastian, Timon and Pumbaa, the gargoyles, Abu and the carpet, etc.. They are just awesome characters and they make me laugh, just like theyre supposed to. [x]
No Sword, No Stone
I wish there was more to sword in the stone than just being different animals for the whole movie. There was so little about the sword and Arthur themselves. [x]
Lizardry
As someone who really appreciates reptiles, amphibians, and insects, I love Pascal from Tangled (also because he reminds me of my pet newt). I hope he paves the way for more unlikely cute animal sidekicks that will ease peoples fears about some of these creatures. [x]
Contrary Opinions
I cant stand any of the "cute animal companions from Disney movies. They drive me insane. [x]
Should I Marry Kocoum?
Pocahontas was probably the most boring Disney movie Ive ever seen. Im sorry. The only good thing that came out of that was Meeko and Flit. Also, John Smith sucked. And Pocahontas totally shouldve gotten together with Kocoum. [x]
A Whole New World
I always felt like Jasmine betrayed Rajah when she left. She just left him all alone in the palace. [x]
Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip And Dale
I am amazed by how many people cant tell Chip and Dale apart. . While my sister and I were at WDW, we heard so many people, including adults, asking which one was which. Its so simple. Chip is the one with the brown nose, like a chocolate chip. [x]
Villain For Your Thoughts
I honestly sympathize with Hades over every other character in Hercules. He has a nauseatingly optimistic family that doesnt take him seriously and has to deal with wide eyed idiots with no sense of reality: its the story of my life! [x]
Seems Counterintuitive
I just finished re watching Gargoyles and I cant understand why Disney doesnt try and re release it. It was an amazingly written show with a bunch of well developed character, had poc + a strong female lead. Its everything theyve wanted to produce. [x]
No Chance, No Way
Last trip to WDW I bought a baby plush Pegasus. Hes so cute and cuddly! Whenever I feel like Meg and start to get lonely, I just snuggle with him and I dont feel so alone. [x]
Thumper!
I would have loved to see Disney make a Disney Junior spin-off to Bambi that would star Thumper,Flower and Thumpers sisters with the supporting characters being Friend Owl and new animals characters. [x]
Pascal Pal
Lately Ive been really depressed and my mom keeps on getting mad at me. My only comfort is a plush Pascal I keep in my room. Hes really just been there to comfort me just like how he did for Rapunzel. Pascal has made me feel so much better and I love him so much. [x]
Listen To Your Heart
When I was younger I used to sneak into my neighbors yard and talk to their Weeping Willow like it was Grandmother Willow. Now I realize how crazy I was! [x]
Is All My Dreaming At An End?
I always felt bad for Kocoum. He didnt deserve to die with a broken heart. [x]
Squirrel!
To this day I still feel sorry for the pink girl squirrel from 'The Sword In The Stone.' It still breaks my heart to see her crying after she learns that Arthur is not a real squirrel and cries straight up until that scene ends. I find this scene to be a very underrated sad moment in Disney Animated Films. [x]
Ancestors Did Well
Mushu has to be the most active sidekick ever. He guided Mulan from the first day at camp to the defeat of Shan Yu at the roof of the palace. He deserves more credit. [x]
Crossover Time
Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio and Cri-kee from Mulan are both crickets, and that makes me want them to meet. Wouldnt it be cool if they found out they were related or something? I just find the idea of them interacting very interesting, especially since Jiminy Cricket is one of my favorite characters and Mulan is one of my favorite movies. [x]
A Bug's Fears
Watching A Bugs Life always terrified me as a child. I am still do this day afraid of grasshoppers, all because of Thumper. [x]
Little Lobster On My Shoulder
Watching the Little Mermaid and seeing how much Sebastian cares for Ariel always touches my heart. I have a Sebastian in my life, just like Ariel. An older friend of mine who is part my conscience, part my close friend, and part my mom. She warns me, chides me and takes care of me. She was the one to stop me from cutting myself when my family decided to ignore it, and I wish she knew how much that meant to me. [x]
#FreeKida
I wish Kida from Atlantis had more merchandise. She is the prettiest princess and that movie was so magical! [x]
Hyena Misconception
I don't like how 'The Lion King' gave Hyenas a bad rap, when they're really very nice animals. [x]
There is a world full of mysteries to explore right at our very feet.
Do we engage with it on a level that might make us more uncomfortable? Well, if we really want to learn everything there is to know about our planet earth, we have to engage in the unsettling facts. They appear across every discipline.

On top of that, there are additional unsolved murders that neither was ever linked to whose evidence raises the possibility of a third active serial killer in the area during the same time period.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/see-bees/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">see-bees</a></p>Viewer, Beware....

<p>There is a rare genetic degenerative brain disorder called Fatal Familial Insomnia. FFI starts as a mild inability to sleep followed by short bouts of intense nightmares/dreams and progressively deteriorates until the sufferer is completely unable to sleep, at all. Eventually impacting the human ability to microsleep as a last ditch effort of self preservation. There is no cure for FFI and eventually sufferers lose their minds and die of sleep deprivation. But it gets so much worse.</p><p>Due to the degenerative nature of the condition as it progresses you begin deteriorating mentally and physically. You lose the ability to regulate body temperature and may swing between freezing and sweating, you develop severe memory problems, confusion, agitation, weight loss, paranoia, hallucinations, speech problems, double vision, loss of motor controls (similar to parkinsons), inability to swallow, increased blood pressure and production of tears as well as many other unpleasant symptoms. The combination of your mind going and your body shutting down eventually kills you.</p>Rise Of The Machines
<p>There so far at least two fatalities as a result of robots, both of industrial type.</p><p>The first was in Flat Rock, Michigan in 1979 when an engineer was killed when he was hit in the back and crushed while retrieving parts at an automobile factory. It was due to a malfunctioning industrial robot he was fixing. The second was in Akashi, Hyōgo, Japan where a maintenance worker was fixing a broken-down robot when it came to life by mistake. Both locations happened in factories that are well-known for manufacturing vehicles.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/MissSara101/" target="_blank">MissSara101</a></p>So Can We Fix The Justice System Now

Death is scary. It brings the unknown of the great beyond, whether that's heaven, some other afterlife, or total nothingness, depending on what you believe.
But there is one perk that comes with death: total control of your funeral.
Let the Games Begin
<p>"I got a request for the deceased to be dressed up in a Where's Waldo costume and to have 12 other identical caskets in the room so the guests could try to guess where he was by opening coffins randomly."</p><p>"Each guest was to play this guessing game and then sit down before the next person could enter so everyone could play the game."</p><p>"Problem was not everyone wanted to play the game.....super odd but they paid a lot for it."</p><p>-- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/lmtl11/funeral_home_workers_and_owners_whats_the/gnylmi3?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">ramontgomery</a></p>Dead In a Faraway Galaxy
<p>"The deceased was a huge Star Wars fan and left explicit instructions for his funeral."</p><p>"As funeral organist, I was requested to play Star Wars principal themes on the grand pipe organ for prelude music, processional and recessional."</p><p>"As I once described, pall bearers were dressed in main characters costumes and "Obi-Wan Kenobi" gave an inspired eulogy, drawing upon memorable moments from the series."</p><p>"Using 'full organ' (all the stops out) for climatic moments, I played the <em>Imperial March</em> at the conclusion of the funeral before those in attendance departed for the cemetery for the committal."</p><p>-- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/lmtl11/funeral_home_workers_and_owners_whats_the/gnxielt?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">Back2Bach</a></p>A True Celebration of the Life He Lived
<p>"I'm a florist, and I've created some unique tributes out of fresh flowers, and more."</p><p>"I made a putting green two feet across, complete with ball, tee and a club for an avid golfer. I constructed a fish out of various blooms and leaves, placed by a lakeside foliage spray. I've made rainbows and black and white themed arrangements. I put a lot of heart into memorial pieces."</p><p>"A few years ago, I was helping a family decide on their tributes for a much-loved man. The wife stressed he was known for his big blue Giant Eagle truck, and most of their friends were from the driver's union."</p><p>"I volunteered myself for a watercolor picture of the truck around which I would design a floral spray. It took four attempts, but I was finally happy, and framed it."</p><p>"Two days later, I received the most wonderful letter from his wife, and said that everyone agreed it was the most appropriate and important statement about his life. It will sit on her mantle for the rest of her life."</p><p>-- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/lmtl11/funeral_home_workers_and_owners_whats_the/gnyf7h2?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">cavepainted</a></p>Friends Til the Very End
<p>"My family owns a grave digging business as well as lawn and garden statues, someone purchased an 8ft tall gorilla statue."</p><p>"My dad delivered it and asked what they were going to do with it and where they were putting it, the guys said their friends dying wish was to be stuffed up this concrete gorillas a**, and that's what they did."</p><p>"They drilled a whole in the a** and put their buddies ashes inside"</p><p>-- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/lmtl11/funeral_home_workers_and_owners_whats_the/gnytm2i?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">hayhay428</a></p>Always Watching
<p>"My husband found out they can make gems out of cremains, and now he wants to be reduced to 2 jewels seated in his own eye sockets."</p><p>"I don't want a skull! I don't want to own his skull! I don't want him to watch me with his evil gem eyes!"</p><p>-- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/lmtl11/funeral_home_workers_and_owners_whats_the/gny5vcy?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">ParadiseSold</a></p>For Science
<p>"My own will requests that my right eye be removed, preserved and delivered to my oncologist in Miami for him to do with whatever he sees fit."</p><p>"Hopefully as a teaching aid to new optometry students, but if he wants to use it for pranks I'm totally fine with that too."</p><p>"I survived a very unusual eye cancer and they had to do all kinds of experimental things to repair it when all was done. I jokingly suggested I donate it to science when I went and he said that was an amazing idea.

<p>"One rich guy hated his kids and didn't want them to get a cent of his wealth. He therefore wanted all his money to spent on a mausoleum for his coffin with a rose garden around it and the eternal upkeep thereof."</p><p>"He had the city council-approved architectural plans for the mausoleum included in his will and testament."</p><p>"He demanded in his will that the remaining funds, after construction, must go to a gardening service to maintain the rose garden and clean off the bird poop from his mausoleum in perpetuity until the money runs out in a few centuries."</p><p>"The mausoleum is in Cemetery de Saint Rambert outside Lyon, France."</p><p>-- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/lmtl11/funeral_home_workers_and_owners_whats_the/gnxnk4q?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">JingoisticJeremiah</a></p>Utter Indifference

<p>"My mom asked the embalmer to put a few stitches in my grandma's cheeks to give her a faint smile. </p><p>"At the time it seemed like an odd, even slightly morbid request, but 20+ years on, it's one of the only things I remember from her funeral.
