make you doubt yourself for this list we're looking at the most surprising plot twists to have occurred in our favorite disney films number 20 maleficent's transformation sleeping beauty [Music] yeah we know this is kind of common knowledge now just about everyone today is aware of maleficent's immense power but back in 1959 this was more or less the original disney plot twist just as prince philip is about to save princess aurora the mistress of all evil stops him outside of king stephen's castle no it cannot be a bit of maniacal laughing and a massive column of green fire later maleficent reveals herself in the form of a vicious dragon now shall you deal with me o prince and all the powers of hell this sudden display of power would become one of the most iconic battles and memorable moments in disney history number 19 fred's dad was a superhero big hero 6. this is your house i thought you lived under a bridge well technically it belongs to my parents they're on a vacay on the family island just when we thought big hero 6 was wrapped up in a nice big bow disney went and blew our minds in a post-credits sequence fred stands in front of a family portrait and talks to his dad but as he touches the frame the picture opens a bit i just wish i could share my accomplishments with you you mean so much to me and honestly i've always felt a distance what with you being on the family island all the time and i just wish he could see him behind it is a small room containing superhero costumes gadgets and a sizeable computer yep fred's dad was a superhero i wear them front i wear them back [Music] and of course you can't have a marvel movie without stan lee making an appearance superheroes in new york give me a break rest in peace you comic book legend we have a lot to talk about number 18 charles f montz turns out to be evil up humiliated muns fowzer returned to paradise falls and promises to capture the beast alive they say you should never meet your heroes and we experienced that lesson first hand in up when carl and russell have dinner with charles f muntz charles tells the two he's been looking for a rare bird that just so happens to fit kevin's description leave it to russell's naivete to let the cat out of the bag or the bird and as soon as he does the whole tone changes they soon find that this mountain it's a very dangerous place hey that looks like kevin kevin charles shows the pair the caps of various explorers he's met and subtly threatens their lives an old man taking his house to paradise falls [Music] it's amazing how far an old man is willing to go just to take credit for discovering a bird number 17. gergie's sacrifice the black cauldron cookie is burned and brave he will climb into the evil problem however [Music] the black cauldron has been known to be disney's darkest movie and with a reputation like that you can expect some death to occur on screen although we certainly weren't expecting any of it to involve the movie's comic relief character gergie after gergie unties taryn elonwy and fluter flam taryn attempts to throw himself into the cauldron however gurkey stops him and cites that taran has friends whereas gergie has none no google not let his friend die tyron has many friends google has no friends the mischievous but lovable creature proceeds to throw himself into the cauldron instead causing the horned king's army to collapse this was too heart-wrenching to handle but we're glad we got him back before the movie was over [Music] number 16 the bowler hat guy is goob meet the robinsons meet the robinsons threw quite a few things out of left field and one of the film's most surprising twists was the identity of bowler hat guy throughout the film we see this guy follow louis and he's only ever referred to by his generically descriptive name there is no bowler hat guy there is no time machine and you're not from the future when he finally captures lewis bowler hat guy reveals himself as louis's former roommate from the orphanage goob my old room i think you mean our old room what oh yes yes it is i mike this was something no one could have guessed given bowler hat guy's lanky stature and twisted mustache it doesn't exactly say former little league baseball player you know it wasn't my fault it was yours if you hadn't kept me up all night working on your stupid project and i wouldn't have missed the catch we're just glad there was a happy ending for him number 15 mordu wasn't originally a bear brave last time i did this was for a prince easy on the eyes tight pets he demanded i give him the strength of ten men and he gave me this for a spell a spell that would change his fate while following a wisp to an eerie area of ruin merida falls into a hole and finds a hidden temple that recounts a story her mother used to tell her but the oldest prince wanted to rule the land for himself he followed his own path and the kingdom fell as she observes more of the scene noticing a cracked mantle and pile of skeletons merida soon realizes that she has stepped foot inside of mordu's lair and that he was the human prince in her mother's story the prince became more do what's even more shocking is that not only is the notorious warrior still around but he was also the same bear that attacked earlier in the movie who'd have thought that a mythical villain would still be around years later number 14 vanellope doesn't go back ralph breaks the internet most movies like to end with everything going back to normal see no matter where she goes or where she lives she's always gonna be our friend and we just gotta trust her however ralph breaks the internet is not like most movies as its ending is more bittersweet than we anticipated oh before you go i wanted to give you this oh i'm so sorry i broke it ralph no no it's okay now we can both have a half see after stopping a dangerous virus from destroying the internet ralph and vanellope say their goodbyes and apologize for their misdeeds before giving each other one last hug i love you so much i'm really gonna miss you i'm gonna miss you too kid i really am typically this would be the part where someone changes their mind and chooses to go back to normal but as vanellope ascends the staircase to slaughter race we realize this truly is farewell the arcade won't be the same without you kid number 13 gazer beam's fate the incredibles of all the pixar movies none had a twist more grim than this throughout the first half of the incredibles we're made aware of the sudden disappearance of a super known as gazer beam you remember gazeby yeah there was something about him in the paper he had trouble adjusting to civilian life too when's the last time you saw him i don't see anyone from the old days bob just you however we don't discover his fate until after mr incredible's first encounter with syndrome who reveals himself to have been the hero's biggest fan buddy pine after all i am your biggest fan buddy my name is not buddy it appears that gazer beam had died in the caves while trying to hide from syndrome but at least he managed to burn kronos into the cave's walls and stalagmites prior to we had a feeling beam might have died but we never anticipated to see his remains as they were in his final moments dang the incredibles is a little more disturbing than we remember number 12 stinky pete was behind everything toy story 2. the museum's only interested in the collection if you're in it without you we go back into storage it's that simple lotso may have played the bad guy disguised as a friend card but the original was none other than stinky pete throughout toy story 2 stinky pete presents himself as an understanding and compassionate old-timer he isn't aggressive about his plans to go to japan until buzz and the gang arrive to retrieve woody prospector how about you prospector you're out of your box i tried reasoning with you woody not only does he lock buzz and friends in the vents but he reveals that he's been stirring some of the drama between woody and jesse stinky pete quickly turned from a generous ally to a manipulative and devious toy well stinky pete i think it's time you learn the true meaning of playtime right over there guys no no number 11 mr waternoose and randall are working together monsters inc decades later this pixar moment still chills us to the bone when boo is revealed to water noose mike explains to the crab-legged executive about the child's presence and randall's plans how could this happen how could this happen does anyone else know about this no sir good this company can't afford any more bad publicity the tone quickly shifts from mildly upsetting to unsettling as a large metal door descends and activates what follows is one of the most chilling and shocking dialogue exchanges in disney history uh sure that's not her door i know i know it's yours waternews was working with randall the entire time and the reveal happened so fast that we barely had enough time to process it all we could do was sit in despair and watch sully try to reactivate the door of course we couldn't forget about raz's secret identity who could have guessed she was the head of the cda the entire time of course without your help i never would have known that this went all the way up to water this number 10. kenai killed koda's mom brother bear well i i have a story to tell you really what's it about this was a reveal that perceptive viewers likely predicted but foresight wouldn't have made it any less devastating in brother bear a boy named kenai is transformed into a bear after angering the spirits by killing a bear to avenge his brother's death he's given a mission that he must complete before becoming human again and on the way meets another bear cub named coda the truth is i got separated from my mom and now with this hunter around kid i got my own problem as the story moves on we learn the coda's mother who has been missing for some time was in fact the bear that kenai killed the monster has her backed up against this giant glacier by that point the two have formed a deep bond and the moment where he has to confess to him is absolutely heartbreaking your mother's not coming number nine miguel's great-great-grandfather coco a miguel your your great-great-grandson i have a great great grandson i need your blessing so i can go back home and be a musician just like you miguel lives for music there's only one problem ever since miguel's great-great-grandfather abandoned the family for a music career they forbid it for much of the film miguel believes that the famous musician ernesto de la cruz is his relative de la cruz's guitar after miguel ends up in the land of the dead matters get even more complicated on his quest to find ernesto and get back to the land of the living miguel meets hector an old friend of ernesto's and whose living family is forgetting him it soon becomes clear ernesto isn't miguel's ancestor or a good guy he killed hector miguel's actual great great to steal his music which is why hector never made it home now that's some family drama where where did you get this that's my mama coco that's my mommy melda is that you [Music] where number eight the masked villain yokai is callahan big hero 6. set in the fictional future city of san fransokyo a young inventor named hiro hamada quickly shows the robotics world what he's made of and attracts the attention of professor robert callahan the robotics department head at the institute of technology and entrepreneur alistair cray mr cray has cut corners and ignored sound science to get where he is as the events escalate it looks like callahan has been killed and suddenly a villain in a kabuki mask has taken hiro's invention and will do anything to keep it let's not jump to conclusions we don't know he's trying to kill us he's trying to kill us both the film's characters and the audience think for quite some time that cray is the man behind the mask craze the guy in the mask when yokai was unmasked and revealed to be none other than professor callahan well we had to pick our jaws up off the floor professor callahan number seven make inspired with hades hercules if i say i want wonder boy's head on a platter you say medium or well done when hercules first meets meg she's in a sticky situation with nessus providing our hero with a convenient opportunity to come to the rescue and impress the damsel in distress i'm a damsel i'm in distress i can handle this have a nice day it quickly becomes clear that she's no helpless victim and can totally hold her own keeping hercules on his toes with her sarcasm and quick wit much to hercules shock and the audiences as well we learn that she's been manipulating our hero from the very beginning i mean your little chickypoo here was working for me all the time duh you're you're lying her soul belongs to hades as a result of a bargain she made to save a past boyfriend who quickly betrayed her and left her in haiti's debt heartbroken and understandably jaded number six wilbur is actually lewis's future son meet the robinsons your hair's a dead giveaway why would my hair be a dead giveaway that is an excellent question when a movie involves time travel it's inevitable that there will be some unpredictable twists and turns meet the robinsons may be one of disney's lesser-known animated films but you shouldn't underestimate it it delivers big surprises lewis is a young inventor who meets a boy named wilbur robinson at a science fair who claims he's a time traveler and proves it by taking lewis to the year 2037. in a twist that no one could have seen coming it turns out that wilbur's dad cornelius is actually lewis in the future and wilbur is his son are you saying that i'm wilbur's dad oh give the boy a prize admittedly you might have to watch the movie to fully grasp the impact of this one it was our first real invention it's the one that started it all wow number five eugene cuts rapunzel's hair tangled i can't let you do this and i can't let you die we all knew the story of rapunzel long before seeing this 2010 disney film but this modern adaptation takes some liberties with the classic fairy tale tangled adds dimension to the powers of rapunzel's hair giving it healing powers and anti-aging abilities as a result many people are attempting to take advantage of rapunzel in order to reap the benefits of her magical hair i love you most when her closest ally flynn aka eugene chops off her magnificent mane though we were totally floored [Music] it takes us a few moments to realize that he's actually doing it for her own good thanks to a little unexpected leftover magic the move even secures their happily ever after [Music] number four king candy is turbo wreck-it ralph you game jumped ralph you're not going turbo are you what no no in this video game-inspired film the titular wreck-it ralph is a villain who longs to be a hero sure must be nice being the good guy along the way however he sets some potentially devastating wheels in motion forcing him to become a real hero to fix his mistakes in the game sugar rush ralph attempts to help vanellope a glitch who wants to become a playable character nothing is as it seems in sugar rush however and we learned that the supposed hiro king candy is actually turbo an infamous rogue character i'm turbo the greatest racer ever furthermore it's revealed that vanellope is really a princess and former protagonist of the game turbo corrupted all hail the rightful ruler of sugarrosh princess vanellope it's complicated in summary but in film this reveal was flawlessly executed number three the wolf in sheep's clothing zootopia how did you know where to find us i'll go ahead and i'll take that case now 2016 zootopia may seem like a fun romp through an exciting anthropomorphic animal world but if you take a closer look there's a lot going on underneath the surface the moral takeaway of the film is about prejudice and bigotry and no one better exemplifies this than the character of don bellwether this sheep is introduced as the assistant mayor and seems as sweet as can be endearing herself to judy as a fellow small animal us little guys really need to stick together right like glue good one in the end though it's revealed that she is actually the villainous mastermind behind the drugging of predators in the city fear always works and i'll dart every predator in zootopia to keep it that way because of her diminutive stature and personality this one came as a total shock it's called a hustle sweetheart boom number two te finti is tikka the primary villain in disney's 2016 film moana is a fiery demon called tikka what neither viewers or moana knew however was that taka was actually transformed into her current state by maui the demigod she used to be te fiti the goddess of life and mother island before her transformation while we are initially given the lore of te fiti's history and told that moana is the one who has to revive her it's not until later that we realize she and tikka are one and the same [Music] before
