# Truthful Animated Film Titles The Honest Disney Movies Series Says It How It Really Is By Meghan Young | Published 2013-06-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honest-disney-movies References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2013/06/09/Honest-Disney-Movie-Titles) & [thefw](http://thefw.com/honest-disney-movies/) The Honest [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1) Movies series puts these [classic plots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew) into perspective. As romantic and innocent-looking as they are to the forgiving eye, the story lines and characters can be considered relatively offensive if broken down in a certain way. For instance, 'Beauty and the Beast' has been renamed 'Stockholm Syndrome: It's a tale as old as time' while 'The Little Mermaid' has been retitled to 'Change for Your Man.' As essential as these [animated films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lolas-and-disney) may be for many, the Honest Disney Movies series shows that "beneath the saccharine surfaces of these fluffy romances lies some truly disturbing content," as aptly put by The FW. This disturbing content was brought to light by creative souls Christine Gritmon and Nick Nadel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Honest Movie Titles:** Using honesty in content for creative reimagining. - **Disturbing Content Awareness:** Highlighting previously unnoticed disturbing content. - **Reimagined Animation Industry:** Revamping the traditional animation industry with new perspectives. ### Where This Applies - **Film Industry:** Opportunities for honest and critical reimagining of classic animated films. - **Advertising Industry:** New marketing strategies to re-promote classic animated films with a truthful approach. - **Entertainment Industry:** Developing new content with honest, disruptive, and unconventional premises. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Animated Fantasy Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexed.md) - [Body-Positive Disney Shorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflect.md) - [Reimagined Film Brick-Form Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bricktoons.md) - [Inclusivity-Focused Media Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagine-tomorrow.md) - [Legacy Animator Media Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-legacy-animated-film-collection.md) - [Festive Animated Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gift.md) - [Soft-Colored Disney Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule.md) - [Storybook-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mischief-academy.md)
