Authors Note: Oh my the response has been massive. Thank you for the amazingly positive reviews. I to hope Roman gets nicer but I literally write whatever comes into my head as I go so I have no idea lol. As always I don't own Thomas, his friends or his sides nor do I own the script of the show. Don't like it don't read. All reviews are welcomed and I have been reading each one.

The Dark Side of Disney

When everyone sat back down Thomas looked around at his friends and sides.

"I wonder what the next episode will be about" he said.

"Well only one way to find out" Talyn said pointing towards the screen.

"It's getting late so this episode then we should do dinner. Follow that up with 3 more episodes before bed?" Joan asked looking at everyone to see if they agreed.

Everyone nodded, the Duke nodding his head ridicously fast trying to make himself dizzy.

They settled back, Anxiety kicking back into a laying position again, the screen flickered to life.

THOMAS: And now... a Featured Presentation!

"Ooo I have always wanted to do that?" Thomas said smiling.

Thomas: I've always wanted to do that.

Everyone laughed at the repeated line.

Thomas: WHAT IS UP EVERYBODY! Okay, things you probably don't know about me: I have a big freckle right behind my ear. I despise carrots. AND I can't go to sleep without making sure my closet door is closed for fear of shadow demons and/or the Demogorgon coming in and attacking me while I slumber,

Anxiety shivered at that last line. Morality noticing the shiver decided to hold Anxiety's hand rubbing his palm. Anxiety smiled over at Morality in thanks.

Thomas: the usual stuff. BUT, one of the things you most likely do know about me is that I love me some good ol' fashioned Disney.

"No, you love Disney, I would never have guessed. I'm shocked" Joan said extremely sarcastically.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" the Duke screamed startling everyone. Anxiety flinched so hard he rolled off of his chair.

"Haha you were all distracted hahahaha" The Duke cackled.

Everyone shook their heads while Anxiety quietly climbed back into his seat. Creativity seeing Anxiety had fallen to the floor started laughing. The Duke's head snapped to Creativty and frowned at him pushing him off his chair.

"Meanie!" he shouted.

Embarrassed Creativity climbed back into his chair pouting.

Everyone turned back to the screen.

Creativity: Did someone say Prince?

THOMAS: N-no. And dude, you gotta stop interrupting my vlog. This is like the third one in a row you've popped up in!

Creativity: Thomas, I'm the Prince, okay? You decided to talk about Disney, how am I not gonna show up?

THOMAS: Well, I was bringing it up because I wanted to talk about the many messages Disney movies provide.

PRINCE: That sounds SUPER!

THOMAS: I know! It does. Now-

Creativity: ...califragilisticexpialidocious.

THOMAS: Yes. So-

Creativity: Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious.

THOMAS: STOP.

ANXIETY: Did someone say 'atrocious'?

Creativity: Are you kidding me? We have expelled you from the last TWO videos! Do you know how rude it is to interrupt a vlog?

"Hypocrite" Logic stated glancing over at Creativity.

THOMAS: Wh- Okay. Well, Anxiety, I gotta admit, I don't know why you are here.

ANXIETY: Simple. I, too, am a Disney fan.

Creativity: PFFFFFT- (laughs) You? (laughing)

ANXIETY: What? Why is that so hard to believe?

Creativity: Disney movies are the embodiment of goodness and purity, something you would know nothing about! (laughs)

ANXIETY: You must not be watching the same movies then, 'cause the movies I know have much more sinister undertones. Come on, Thomas, you must sense it. I'm just making sure you're alert to all of the messages in those films, whether they were intentional or not.

THOMAS: Actually, this is kind of intriguing.

"It is actually" Lilly said with a smile. Everyone agreed.

Creativity: What?

THOMAS: So you think every movie has a darker meaning or a misleading message?

ANXIETY: Oh yeah.

Creativity: THIS IS RIDICULOUS! You besmirch the name of Disney This time, you have gone too far!

ANXIETY: Really? This is where you cross the line?

THOMAS: Well, how 'bout this? I will throw out some Disney movies and you two tell me what I'm supposed to learn from each movie.

Creativity: Practically perfect, in every way.

ANXIETY: Why are you only quoting Mary Poppins?

Creativity: BECAUSE JULIE ANDREWS IS A BEAUTIFUL GODDESS AND BECAUSE I CAN OKAY

"Creativity is really extra" Terrence said rubbing his ears. Everyone agreed.

THOMAS: O-kay... Uh, Movie #1, Cinderella.

Creativity: Ha! Easy. believe in your dreams and one day, they will come true.

ANXIETY: Sure, just literally wait around your entire life, subjecting yourself to the cruelty of your ungrateful, ignorant family members, until some magical fairy comes along to save you. Don't take action yourself.

"Ooh both valid" Lilly smiled.

Creativity: She had mice, too!

ANXIETY: Not to mention, men can't memorize the face of a woman they've been dancing around with for hours, they have to rely on the shoe. Ergo... men are idiots.

"True" smiled Valerie, Lilly and Talyn.

"Oi!" the guys all said smiling as well enjoying the lighter atmosphere.

Creativity: HE WAS A VERY BUSY PRINCE! HE HAD A LOT ON HIS MIND!

THOMAS: Okay, let's just move to another. Um, Snow White!

Creativity: Okay, so this time the message is to NOT do what the princess did. Don't accept random fruit from strangers.

THOMAS: Or, don't eat fruit...?

Everyone laughed at that.

Creativity: No.

THOMAS: No?

ANXIETY: The bigger message is to just run away from your problems and become the housekeeper for seven men.

Creativity: Sometimes the best solution is to get out of a bad situation!

THOMAS: Yeah, I'm a Hufflepuff, I tend to run away from every situation. (laughs)

ANXIETY: Don't make all Hufflepuffs out to be like that, Thomas.

"You like Harry Potter Anxiety?" asked Joan.

"Yeah, love it" Anxiety smiled slightly.

Anxiety: Not to mention, a prince comes out of nowhere and plants a kiss on a seemingly sleeping girl? I guess consent isn't really that important.

"Another valid point" Terence agreed.

Creativity: HE THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD, IT WAS A FAREWELL KISS! What's with all the prince hate?

ANXIETY: I wonder.

THOMAS: Okay, well, how about something a little bit more recent: Frozen.

Creativity: A sister's love triumphs over all!

ANXIETY: And don't trust random princes. I can get behind that.

Creativity: I swear...

ANXIETY: Also, when Elsa passes away, Olaf's gonna die too, 'cause the magic will be gone. So just prolong the inevitable?

"Oh my" Everyone was shocked at the harshness of that message.

Creativity: WHOA WHOA WHOA

THOMAS: WOW.

ANXIETY: I warned you, I warned you.

THOMAS: Wow, that is really dark!

Creativity: WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA

THOMAS: Okay, let's lighten it back up with Peter Pan?

Creativity: Don't let your childhood spirit ever die.

ANXIETY: Also, it's totally fine to believe a random stranger when they tell you to jump out the window, after they've broken into your house. But I would guess that's how your whole being would die.

'Wow' everyone was thinking.

"But you know true" Joan said.

"Moving on" Talyn said uncomfortable.

Creativity: Urgh...

THOMAS: Yikes. Okay, how about Aladdin? My favorite!

Creativity: The value of a person is not determined by wealth. A diamond in the rough can be found anywhere, even someone who may be considered a street rat.

ANXIETY: And they can get what they want by lying and deceiving their way right into the castle and getting the princess.

Creativity: OH COME ON He came clean in the end! He even freed the Genie!

Anxiety: Yeah, he did. But not before LYING AND DECEIVING his way right into the castle and getting the princess.

Creativity: OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

Everyone was laughing a Thomas's onscreen reaction including the Thomas in the room.

THOMAS: Fox and the Hound.

Creativity: True friendship overcomes any boundaries set by society.

ANXIETY: But then that friendship will be immediately be terminated by that society, and the two must learn their place in the world.

Creativity: Wow.

ANXIETY: That is literally what happened at the end of that movie.

THOMAS: It's true, I cried. Beauty and the Beast!

Creativity: Okay, I know what you're gonna say, you're gonna say-

"Stockholm Syndrome" everyone except Morality said.

ANXIETY: Stockholm Syndrome. PRINCE: -Stockholm Syndrome,

Creativity: BUT, it is MORE than just a prisoner falling in love with her kidnapper! It is about a love that transcends outward appearance. Even a beastly, hairy, ANIMAL- you're right, that doesn't sound much better. But COME ON, can you really look down so harshly on these movies?

ANXIETY: I still like them, there's just some darker messages that we don't first see.

Creativity: Bambi?

ANXIETY: Man is dangerous.

Creativity: Pocahontas!

ANXIETY: WHITE man is dangerous.

Creativity: SLEEPING BEAUTY!

ANXIETY: Well, now we're back to the lack of consent with sleeping women.

Creativity: IT WAS TO LIFT A CURSE!

"Doesn't make it right" Anxiety muttered.

THOMAS: The Little Mermaid?

ANXIETY: Don't just sign a contract without having your mer-lawyer look over all the fine print and stipulations. That one's just common sense.

Creativity: Or learn to write, or use sign language. There's more than one way to tell the prince you're the girl that saved him.

"Woah" everyone breathed.

THOMAS: Oh, now wait, did I just detect a hint of sarcasm towards a Disney movie? ANXIETY: Whoa.

Creativity: Well, there's always been one or two things I've noticed. Frankly, just make it easier for the princes. We could use a helping hand every once and a while.

ANXIETY: Or shoes.

Creativity: Or shoes, yes.

THOMAS: Well then, how about we just concede that Disney movies have a LOT of different, interesting messages within them.

ANXIETY: Duh, that's what I've been saying. I never said Princey was wrong.

"He didn't" Creativity muttered confused.

"No he did not" Logic said straightening his glasses.

Creativity: You didn't?

ANXIETY: No.

Creativity: Well, then I suppose I shall concede a few points to you.

ANXIETY: Great.

Creativity: Excellent.

ANXIETY: Cool.

Creativity: Still don't like you.

"Of course not" Anxiety muttered rolling his eyes.

ANXIETY: What was that?

Creativity: Uhh... Chim-chim-cheroo!

ANXIETY: Ah, Mary Poppins. Okay.

THOMAS: Okay... oof. Well, my personality is very weird, I'm very sorry about that. BUT! I hope that you did enjoy that little Disney debate. Maybe you all can think of some interesting messages from other Disney movies we didn't cover. If you do, please feel free to share them. And until next time, Take it easy, guys, gals, and non-binary pals! PEACE OUT!

"That was good" Thomas said with a smile.

"Shhhhh endcard" Talyn smirked.

Everyone laughed when they realised she was probably going to do that every single time

Creativity: Okay, uh, how about Mulan?

ANXIETY: There's never a wrong time to dress in drag.

Creativity: Lion King!

ANXIETY: There's never a wrong time to dress in drag-

BOTH: -and do the hula! AAAAAAAAAAAAA

"You both agreed on something!" squealed Morality.

"Yeah don't get used to it" Creativity muttered.

"Ok dinner time!" Valerie smiled.

"Oo I'll cook" Morality smiled racing to the kitchen.

Everyone else decided to go their separate ways. Thomas and friends decided to sit around the table and chat about all they have learned. The Duke decided to go set pranks up in Creativity's room. Logic decide to go finish the book on anxiety. Patton was cooking up a storm. Deciet decided to go plot in his bedroom. Anxiety looked around thought for a second then decided to go see if Morality needed any help in the kitchen.
