I'm always gonna pop in with a Treasure Planet idea! I think Jim and Sarah would make a cute Mother's Day pin, maybe with either Sarah holding little Jim or something like the scene at the end of the movie with Jim in his school uniform dancing with his mom. Also, maybe a Mommy Captain Amelia pin with her holding her four babies from Dr. Doppler. Just one pin with those babies would be awesome, they were so cute!
Oh, boy, psychology and Disney movies...this could get weird. I've read a few people's beliefs in Belle suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Hard to really see, in my opinion, given that Beast never treated her like a prisoner; gave her a room, clothes, access to pretty much anywhere except the West Wing, etc. He tried to be as accommodating as possible, and didn't actually kidnap her, she willingly stayed to save her Dad. You could say due to his obsession with trying to find someone to love him, Beast suffered from Lima Syndrome.
Commenting on Gothel and Rapunzel, I do wonder if maybe there was some small amount of actual love there. I just can't see someone being able to raise a baby to adulthood without becoming attached in some way. Yeah, Gothel did it to use Rapunzel's powers, but she didn't have to be so motherly about the whole thing. She really could have gone a different way completely and forced Rapunzel to be a servant, letting her know exactly what her purpose was to her, but she didn't. If you think about it, she was actually a pretty good parent; she obviously taught Rapunzel a lot of what she knew and was encouraging towards her talents. We see Rapunzel sew, bake, play music, read, make candles; given the fact she only had three books, I'm guessing those skills came from Gothel.
And that's my ramble for the day.
