choptlivva Dec 19, 2005	choptlivva smacks herself for not getting that one!!
Sunrose Dec 19, 2005	Nice Ideal. Good Teaser, enjoyable.
MissleMan27 Dec 19, 2005	Hercules is not made up by Disney. He is a figure in Greek and Roman mythology.
stm8r1 Dec 19, 2005	Wait a second, you mean Ariel ISN'T real? Bummer. Great teaser!
wolfmanh Dec 19, 2005	I GOT IT!!! Great teaser
Brainy_1 Dec 19, 2005	Great teaser! Of course I got it wrong! Keep 'em comin tho! Good job!
FulanitoGM Dec 19, 2005	Missleman, the answer doesnt' say anything about the characters being invented BY DISNEY. It only said they were invented. Personally, I would have gone with "imaginary characters" to avoid confusion, but that's just me... Anyway, great teaser! Had the right answer, but I second guessed myself upon reading the hint. I thought the word "ONE" was going to have something to do with the answer... you sneaky sneak!
jrh1983 Dec 19, 2005	Love it! I got it right away, but that doesn't take anything away. Continue....make more! Thanks
AZTTT Dec 20, 2005	Nice One. With your clue of "ONE", Could it not also be Peter Pan? That is the only Disney movie listed where the main character did not have a love interest. (Wendy was more of a mother figure)
GirlyxGirlxMia Dec 20, 2005	that was hard but fun!!
backiegray Dec 21, 2005	i think its messt up!!!!!! noe i think its really cool
pnguinsrule Dec 22, 2005	hey, good teaser! i thought it was the lion king b/cuz it was the only disney movie listed that DIDN'T have ANY humans in it AT ALL! bambi's mother was killed by a human (right?), the aristocats had human owners, the little mermaid fell in love w/ a human etc., but there are absolutly no people in the Lion King. but i didn't even think about fact vs. fiction! good job!
realm2346 Dec 23, 2005	Cute and clever.... You're right...Pochohotas is based on a real character..didn't think about it.
sgtammo Dec 27, 2005	Nice, enjoyable teaser.
Crazycriely Apr 05, 2006	good teaser. but i dont totally get the hint
Barticus Aug 15, 2006	But the movie Pocahontas had so little to do with the real Pocahontas, that it might be the movie Hercules has more to do with the historical Hercules. That's if there was a historical Hercules, which we don't know, but these hero stories usually start out with some basis in fact.
mufffin09 Aug 16, 2006	If thats true, then Pocahontas has only the name in common with the real figure! Hercules is SO wrong, they shouldn't even call it Hercules!
Barticus Aug 16, 2006	Heracles then. My point (pedantic and obtuse it may be) is that Heracles was a hero not a god, so the story probably started with a story of some real hero, and got embroidered over the years. OTOH, the movie Pocahontas had very little to do with the historical Pocahontas. (The racoon was good, but nothing else resembled reality.)
mufffin09 Aug 17, 2006	What does OTOH mean? And are you saying that the racoon Meeko character was real?
Barticus Aug 22, 2006	OTOH= On the other hand. I am not saying the raccoon was hystorical, but it's actions reminded me of a raccoon. Nothing else seemed right.
SmileyGrl May 23, 2008	good teaser, didn't get it at first then it hit me like a brick wall keep up the good work
Smudge May 30, 2009	This is a totally ambiguous teaser. The answer could just as easily be 'The Little Mermaid' - reason: it's the only one set in the ocean.
Thinker10 May 30, 2009	I tcould also be Peter Pan because it's the only one where things that can't talk can't talk; all the others anthropomorphise (make things talk).
bradon182001 May 30, 2009	Nice one. Didn't get it right, had several other ideas for an answer. Thanks for posting.
craniac May 30, 2009	Thinker10, that's inaccurate, isn't it? In Beauty and the Beast, the teapot, candle stick, and other inanimate objects talk, don't they? Anyway, I got the right answer, but not quite for the right reason. Still, I got it.
teri12265 May 30, 2009	I guessed same as Smudge. Ariel lives in the ocean, the others all on land. Another elimination/connection - weren't all of them EXCEPT BAMBI made relatively recently? I only remember Bambi from my younger days, and the rest from when the kids were young. All great movies btw. Happy Saturday!
avnibavishi1 May 30, 2009	@craniac I think Thinker10 meant just that - Peter Pan is the only one in which inanimate things DON'T talk. All other movies, like Beauty and the Beast, let objects talk. great idea, but i agree... more than 1 answer is possible
auntiesis May 30, 2009	I got it wrong. I was thinking that all of them were totally animated, except Peter Pan had real actors like Robin Williams. Wrong guess.
avonma May 30, 2009	I was trying to choose which one has only animated characters; but couldn't come up with only ONE. I still don't get the hint... Still, it was fun.
FatHead May 30, 2009	I agree, the hint was confusing. Anyway, I would have thought maybe the Aristocats, since I figured Disney made that one up, but the rest had all come from somewhere, like mythology or history or fables.
choirgirl926 May 30, 2009	I got that it was pocahantas, but I thought it was because it was the only one that didn't have animals as characters. Great teaser!
choirgirl926 May 30, 2009	sorry I'm putting two comments, but I wanted to say a bit more. Technically, Pocahantas was based on John Smith's diary of what he said about her, and he was known to exaggerate, so you could say she was made up, but I see your point. Also, it annoys me how everyone only knows Hercules. That's his Roman name. His greek name is Herakles, and the Romans changed it when they took over Greece, so his name is technically Herakles, but no one ever calls him that. I loved the teaser though.
awishfulthinker May 30, 2009	I thought the same thing as thinker10, the fact that peter pan was the only one which didn't make objects/animals talk which I think of as a pretty big staple in Disney movies. Pretty fun though, just for the fact of reliving all those old movies again.
grilled_cheese3 May 30, 2009	i just guessed Hercules!!!!
Seagulls May 30, 2009	The hint made me believe the teaser was asking for the movie that didn't have a sequel - that had "only ONE" movie. I was trying to remember whether Peter Pan or Hercules or the Aristocats had sequels, but wasn't sure. I didn't really enjoy this one. Too ambiguous.
sykoone May 30, 2009	I thought it was Lion King since that's the only movie not based on something else.
twin27 May 30, 2009	I thought it was Pocahontas because all the other movies had talking animals... so, that's another answer.
kwelchans May 30, 2009	Seagulls, I'm with you. I was thinking it had to do with sequels.
Slayer1982 May 30, 2009	Peter Pan also works because it's the only one in the group that has no talking animals (Pocahontas has meko the racoon)
kwelchans May 31, 2009	Did Meko actually talk in Pocahontas?
FatHead May 31, 2009	Hah. I was thinking The Aristocats, since (I think) it was entirely a Disney invention.
crocodile May 06, 2010	I was thinking the same as you, FatHead!!! And to MissleMan, Hercules was from Roman mythology only. The Greeks called him Heracles (Hair-a-kleez).
mufffin09 May 31, 2010	To sykoone, The Lion King was based on Shakespeare's play "Hamlet".
Babe Aug 01, 2012	All you that said this was a great teaser, can you tell me what made it great??? I thought it was lame!
cutebug Aug 01, 2012	Babe, you must be having some bad times. You have been very negative lately!!!
tripleteam5 Aug 01, 2012	WHAT? Bambi isnt REAL?? I am CRUSHED !!!
Checkmate1 Aug 01, 2012	These are dumb. I could pretty much single out a reason any single one of them are misfits: Hercules- it is based on Greek mythology The Lion King- the protagonist's father dies Beauty and the Beast- there are 4 words in the title The Jungle Book- there is an orangutan The Aristocrats- the protagonist is a cat Peter Pan- the protagonist's name is an alliteration The Little Mermaid- It's centered in the sea Bambi- it's got a tragic ending All of them have their own aspects. I'd be surprised if anyone got this right - for the very reason you pointed out.
Mandy7 Aug 01, 2012	I love all these movies! Especially Pocahontas!
thecatladycac Aug 01, 2012	I got it right off the bat - read through the list and the answer just jumped out at me. Enjoyed it very much, though - enjoyed reminiscing about all of the old movies! Thanks for a nice teaser!
