Disney movies have always been a fan favorite and are a significant part of popular culture. From classics like "The Lion King" to newer films like "Frozen," Disney movies have been enjoyed by audiences of all ages. However, let's discuss some Disney movies could have been even better as TV shows!
"Tangled"
"Tangled" is a delightful Disney movie that tells the story of Rapunzel, a young girl locked in a tower by her wicked stepmother. Rapunzel has magical long hair that she uses to keep herself entertained, but she longs to see the world outside.
When a charming thief named Flynn Rider breaks into her tower, she sees an opportunity to fulfill her dream of exploring the world. While the movie was enjoyable, it felt rushed, and the characters could have been developed more. A TV show would have allowed for more world exploration and character development.

A TV show could have expanded on world-building and the characters' backstories. For example, we could see more of Flynn Rider's past and how he became a thief. Additionally, we could explore the relationship between Rapunzel and her parents, who were separated from her at birth. A TV show would have allowed us to see how they adjust to being a family again and their journey to reconnecting with each other.
"Hercules"
"Hercules" is a Disney movie that tells the story of a demigod named Hercules, who must prove himself worthy of living among the gods on Mount Olympus. The movie is full of action and adventure, but a TV show would have allowed for more character development, especially for the supporting cast.
In the film, Hercules' friends, such as Philoctetes and Pegasus, played important roles, but we didn't see much of their backstory or development.

A TV show could have explored the supporting cast's backstories and given them more screen time. For example, we could learn more about Philoctetes' past as a trainer and his relationship with Hercules. Additionally, a TV show would have allowed us to see more of Hercules' journey to becoming a hero.
"Mulan"
"Mulan" is a classic Disney movie about a young woman who disguises herself as a man to join the army and save her father from serving. While the film was excellent, it left some questions unanswered, such as what happened to Mulan after she kept China. A TV show could have explored her life after the war and delved deeper into the culture and traditions of ancient China.

A TV show could also explore relationships between the supporting characters, such as Mulan's relationship with her father and fellow soldiers. A TV show could show us how Mulan adapts to life in the army and how she learns to fight and become a hero. It could also explore the challenges she faces when trying to keep her true identity a secret and the relationships she forms with the soldiers in her unit.
