Growing up I watched a lot of movies — Disney movies to be exact. From Cinderella to Alice In Wonderland, I watched them until my VHS player overheated. The thing about re-watching childhood movies today, though, is that you get a completely different experience. You notice things you didn’t as a preschooler. Some of these things are funny jokes but others are concepts that make you go WTF?!? Here are 5 Disney movies that have some pretty WTF moments:

She makes the prince fall in love with her and they live happily ever after.
