Ariel could have Drowned
In 'The Little Mermaid' (A.D. 1989), Ursula transforms Ariel into a human with legs. This just so happens to take place while Ariel is still underwater--deep in the ocean, inside Ursula's cave. I'm not sure if the transformation included giving Ariel lungs that were meant for taking in only air, but nevertheless, Flounder and Sebastian end up rushing her to the surface as if her life depended on it. That's not to mention the terrified look on Ariel's face when she realizes her swimming abilities are weaker so deep underwater when she has only legs.
The Crocodile tries to Eat Captain Hook Alive
If Captain Hook weren't such a fast swimmer, he would have been eaten alive early on in the film 'Peter Pan' (A.D. 1953). The jaws of a crocodile can bite down with a force of over 5,000 pounds per square inch. Forget needing a prosthetic hand--Hook wouldn't even be here after that mouth closed.
An 8-year old is turned into a Cup for ten years
When a witch cursed a selfish-acting prince's ENTIRE household, turning the prince to a beast and the servants to objects (AND bringing original inanimate objects to life) in 'Beauty and the Beast' (A.D. 1991) , life was--different, to say the least. Shall I mention they remained like that for ten years? Those cursed included an 8-year-old boy named Chip, who was turned into a teacup. I've seen many discussions about whether Chip went through puberty--as a cup--or if her remained 8 for all those years. Either way, I predict a lot of adjustment occurred afterward . . . .
Mother Gothel Fatally Stabs Eugene with a Knife
Despite some Disney deaths passing without any blood, when Mother Gothel stabs Eugene with a large, shiny and sharp knife she had stored in a drawer, he surely bleeds--and you can see it all. It's a painful and literally gut-wrenching death--and it's detailed. ('Tangled' ~ A.D. 2010)
While the trolls are singing a song about true love, Anna's heart is Freezing over
Kristoff tried to explain that there was a real emergency, but he was interrupted with a song about why he and Anna should be together. Cool--but I have something even cooler: This girl's heart is freezing over as you sing, and she will die really soon, do you hear? She WILL DIE REALLY SOON. ('Frozen' ~ A.D. 2013)
