Headscratchers / A Tale of...

• In COLD HEARTED (Lady Tremaine’s backstory), why was the King called Hubert? Isn’t that the name of Prince Phillip’s father in Sleeping Beauty? This troper tweeted Serena Valentino about it and she promised to fix it, but there isn’t an in-universe explanation as of yet

• In COLD HEARTED, what is Sir Richard’s last name? It could hardly be Tremaine unless since he married Lady Tremaine for her first husband’s money, he gained the Tremaine name through marriage (and maybe Cinderella gained that surname too) but that leaves the question as to what his BIRTH surname was!

• Are King and Queen Morningstar also Prince Eric’s parents?

• Why wasn’t Circe at the Evil Queen’s wedding to the King In FAIREST OF ALL? This troper would’ve liked to see her convince Grimhilde to not pay attention to her father’s spirit and descend into madness.

• Should Tulip Morningstar be considered a Disney Princess?

• This troper tweeted Serena Valentino asking for a book about Grumpy the dwarf and she replied by saying “Grumpy isn’t a villain”. Doesn’t she realize that Grumpy is an antagonistic character like the Beast? If Ms. Valentino can write a book about the Beast, why can’t she write a book about Grumpy? This troper thinks there’s more to Grumpy’s story than what meets the eye.
  • Given the backlash to The Beast Within, it's possible that Valentino's learned her lesson in that regard.
