Disney Syndrome takes its name from, you guessed it, Disney. It covers the range of beliefs children have been taught from Disney movies. These children grow up believing these movies to be right and are often disillusioned in adulthood even when shown evidence that life isn't a Disney cartoon.

For example, the idea that little girls will find the knight in shining armour to sweep them off their feet (ie, that perfection in a partner exists), or the belief that wild animals are all cuddly and nice (ie, that bears won't maul you for petting their cub), or that someone will take care of things for them when they are at their lowest are all symptoms of Disney Syndrome

Invented in Borat's movie. It is said, when something great happens.

Disney Syndrome is the development of a flawed out look on life. Little girls think there's true love and a "happily ever after" for all of them. That and their outlook on love is molded into an idea that love is romance and a hot, strong guy that will sweep them off their feet is what romance is (and thus what love is). While in fact none of these things are true.

When people treat animals like people. They believe in the principle that animals belong caged inside apartments and homes when in fact this is no different than taking animals from their natural habitat and cage them no different than a zoo. This is in fact animal cruelty and the biggest enabler of animal trade. Disney has unintentionally taught this idea by creating movies in which animals speak fluently, plot plans, and heroically save everyone, and everything, including pray they in the real world eat or kill. A good example of this is Beauty and the Beast, in where a princess fucks around with a big hairy, muscular animal (that turns into human later...). Subliminally teaching it's okay to have sex with animals, ideally gorilla-like.

Disney Syndrome is when a person who may act/sing is able to do both, and brags about both. As seen in Hayley Williams and Robert Pattinson interviews.

When a Disney star (most likely a child star) goes out of their way to prove themselves as an individual apart from Disney.
