  (#14) Yzma

  • Fictional Character

  Details: If you want to read a detailed theory about the truth of Yzma's origins, you can pick apart the theory here. It's long and detailed, but another Redditor summed it up nicely with the following:

  1. "Yzma used to love Kuzco's Grandfather and was rejected.
  2. She tried to make a potion to end her suffering, but it backfired.
  3. She worships Hades.
  4. Hades commissioned Yzma's father to make the potion that turned Hercules mortal.
  5. Megara is a younger version of Yzma
  6. After Hercules kills his and Meg's children and almost her, she is saved by Hades, is pushed into complete madness from the ordeal, and returns to the Incan Empire to live as Yzma for the rest of her days.
  7. She maintains her love of muscle guys (see: Kronk), but now prefers them to be a little less bright."

  (#6) Captain Hook

  • Fictional Character

  Details: It's established fairly soon in Peter Pan that the Lost Boys and Captain Hook don't get along. Hook hates Peter Pan, especially, and the two groups have been in conflict for a long time, but why?

  It's never really gone into outside of the missing hand on Hook's wrist, but there's more to it if this theory has any merit. What if, some time ago, a group of Lost Boys led by the boy who would become Hook rebelled against Peter and the Lost Boys? 

  They might even have gone to the real world, where they grew up, but eventually returned to Never, Neverland as adults. They took up piracy and continued their conflict with the Lost Boys.

  (#4) Gaston

  • Fictional Character

  Details: Everyone knows Gaston is a jerk -- that's made clear the minute he's introduced in Beauty and the Beast, but what if he's more than that? This theory suggests that Gaston is more than a village jerk; he's a representation of what the Beast would have become had he never been turned into a hairier version of himself.

  Unfortunately, we have to call the Beast "the Beast," whether it's the human version or otherwise, as he has no other name in the movie. Despite this, he was once a man, and he was a callous jerk, much like Gaston.

  The theory offers four points to this fact:

  1. They both have blue eyes.
  2. They can both afford as many eggs as they want.
  3. They are narcissists who are all about their physical appearance.
  4. When Gaston died, a part of the Beast died as well.

  (#7) King Candy Was A Cancelled Character That Was Once In Development

  Details: In Wreck It Ralph, we find that King Candy is none other than Turbo, a character from an unplugged game who went insane. According to the movie, "Turbo hijacked Sugar Rush, broke into the game's code room, and transformed himself into a figure known as King Candy."

  There's an aspect of this that is overlooked by most viewers, but this theory takes a deeper look into King Candy, and how he wound up in the game. If Turbo hacked his way into Sugar Rush and messed with the code to take over the role of King Candy, that character would have had to be a part of the game's original code.

  That essentially means that the game developed initially planned on having a King Candy character in Sugar Rush, but never finished him. Turbo came along, messed with the code, and took over the role, but he wouldn't have been able to do that directly -- after all, how much does an 8-bit character really know about hacking a modern arcade machine's code? He could only mod what he found, and that's why it's clear that King Candy's code was there all along.

  (#2) Maleficent

  • Fictional Character

  Details: There's clearly a problem between the people in the palace and Maleficent when the sorceress appears at the celebration of Aurora's birth in Sleeping Beauty. It's apparent by the way everyone stares at her in horror... everyone except for Queen Leah.

  The Queen had a more nervous expression, and this theory attempts to explain why she alone reacted that way. Maleficent may not have been invited, but she had a lot to do with the child's birth, and there are a few reasons why this is plausible.

  It's stated in the movie's intro that the King and Queen had difficulty getting pregnant, so it stands to reason that the Queen might have turned to magic for help. She turned to Maleficent and promised to acknowledge her in the Court once the child was born, but in the end, she went back on her word. That's why Maleficent was so angry about not being invited, and why she cursed the child at the celebration she crashed.

  (#9) "Sid" Is Short For "Sidney" Which Is An Anagram For "Disney"

  Source: Redditor u/TheRambleMammal

  Details: This theory is far more meta than most, but it makes a lot of sense when you pick Sid's appearance in Toy Story apart.

  Shortly before Toy Story was made, John Lasseter was fired from Disney. He then created Pixar and named the film's villain "Sid," which is short for Sidney -- an anagram of Disney.

  Is this reaching? Perhaps, but it's well-known how angry Lasseter was with the House of Mouse when he left its employ. Both Sid and Disney keep their toys (films) locked away in a vault, and release them periodically for their own interests.

  The theory goes into a lot of detail with a bunch of comments, but the TL;DR is simple: John Lasseter stuck it to Walt Disney by naming a mean little brat as an anagram of his former employer.
