Film Theory: Disney's Biggest Disasters! (Moana, Hercules, Lion King...)

When you want to get the theory done before the end of 2018 but you spent hours looking and calculating Madagascar’s square miles to see how many lemurs would fit

"When one dies, it is a tragedy. When a million die, it is a statistic" - Stalin, but also Disney

I wonder if MatPat is gonna have PTSD flashbacks when his kid starts watching these movies... Ollie: "Dad, aren't you gonna finish watching Mulan with me? It's getting to the cool Avalanche part!!!" rocking in fetal position MatPat: "1,200 dead.... The army... Chanyu... GNU Octave..."

As someone who took Oceanography in college I got to say I am so proud of MatPat for talking about the Minoans for Atlantis because that's where I leaned about them! Not from Greek mythology lectures in literature when we were discussing the Minotaur in Highschool, but the beginnings of Human Civilization as it related to the ocean AND that class is also where I learned about the Minoans originating the Monitor myths. I am so proud of MatPat for knowing that and including it here. First YouTuber I have seen to actually research this one deeper than saying "Atlantis was a myth". Thank you MatPat for constantly searching deeper into the history books than simply leaving anything on surface level knowledge (or non knowledge as the case may be 😅). Thank you and I really appreciate it

I'd love to see this series done with Pixar movies

Disney fans: "There cant possibly be that much deaths in Disney movies" Matpat: "Hold my Dietcoke"

Just wanna say, the “Titanomachy” depicted in Disney’s Hercules is much more similar to the Gigantomachy. The two are separate events which are often confused. The Titanomachy was the ten-year battle between the Olympians and the Titans that ended with the Titans being imprisoned in Tartarus. The Gigantomachy was a battle with the Giants, and the one Heracles was involved in.

9:01 wasn’t there a point in the movie tho where Moana woke up from sleeping and went way out of the path she was supposed to be on? So she had to turn the boat

People: How many childhoods are you going to ruin? MatPat: Yes.

PIXAR! VERSION! PIXAR! VERSION! PIXAR! VERSION! PIXAR! VERSION! PIXAR! VERSION! PIXAR! VERSION! C'mon, say it with me!

5:54 I love how the guy who writes the subtitles voted for Mulan and right here you can see his disappointment

Yay "Dinosaur" finally gets some love, that's me FAVORITE movie😊

Me: Wanted to learn about how many people got killed in Disney Matpat: literally finds the city of Atlantis Me:Well ain’t that neat.

welp, no one's gonna mention how he LITERALLY found where Atlantis is... ok.

I'm oddly proud of Dinosaur being number 1 in most Disney deaths and being the last one talked about, because Dinosaur is one of my favorite Disney movies, I watched it DOZENS of times when I was a kid, and still to this day, I LOVE IT! Even more so due to it being a highly underrated and overlooked movie compared to Land Before Time and the newer The Good Dinosaur. It had one of the scariest scenes I have ever seen in any Disney movie: the meteor scene. It's probably something I've had nightmares about and dreaded imagining happening in modern days. Just imagine looking up at the sky as it turns red and dark, then there's a meteor shower, and suddenly you see this HUGE FREAKING FIRE ROCK fall down and disappears behind the horizon at the sea, followed by a bright light, a mushroom cloud, a shockwave and then a ROAR, followed then by debris coming your way... accompanied by intense, panicky background music and panicking lemurs trying desperately to run away from their certain doom! Also the CGI at the time of its release is so amazingly realistic, even when the animals are making human facial expressions and talking, they still look very real, and the locations in the movie are filmed at real life landscapes. As a kid, I thought it was all CGI and thought the rocks and water looked so incredibly real... and that's because they ARE real. It's just the animals and meteor shower and disaster that's been computer generated into the filming, but I think they probably did use some animatronics at certain scenes, like when Aladar gets up from the water and steps on some rocks and we see his wet feet, the rocks seem real enough, so they're likely being moved by an animatronic maybe, I dunno, I'm just guessing here. And maybe replaced by CGI later? Dinosaur may not be as big or popular or musical or successful as The Lion King or Frozen or whatever, but it has a special place in my heart, and it is the reason why carnotaurs are my favorite carnivorous dinosaurs and why I also have a soft spot for iguanodons. Dinosaur deserves more love and attention, and I think becoming number 1 on the death count of Disney movies definitely gives it more attention than the movies that already has so much recognition like TLK and Hercules and what not. Dinosaur FTW!

i knew it was going to be dinosaur but how dinosaur won was completely unexpected btw i'm only deciding to comment now as I re-watched this and I love how MatPat puts so much commitment and dedication into the making of his videos❤🥰

I'd love a Pixar continuation, but I'm worried about your health.

Friend: Hey, whatcha doing this weekend? Me: Oh, just watching all 58 Walt Disney movies and calculating the deaths to find out which Disney movie is the deadliest. Friend: slowly backs away

6:51 Nathan Explosion?! id never expect to see him on Film Theory, but with the upcoming movie, some Metalocalypse theories would be super cool!

11:23 I don’t understand how Atlantis didn’t get more popular. I think it failed at first since it came out the same week as Chamber of Secrets, and I guess it never caught on enough after because not enough people heard about it due to the poor release date, but I still can’t really comprehend it. My mom and her best friend (the mother of my best friend at the time) took us to see it when it came out, and it was my favorite Disney movie ever since. Even most of my friends now, all these years later, also agrees that it is one of the best Disney movies. The older I get, the more I love the movie, it’s seriously underrated. The art/animation is just so cool. The characters and storyline too. Idk, I just really love it, especially the art style
