Yeah, she has full magical powers. There’s only one reference to it in the film proper, when Lilo drowns her doll in a vat of pickle juice, saying her friends need to be punished, where Scrump is used as a voodoo doll. But in the Lilo & Stitch video game Trouble in Paradise, a retelling of the film, Lilo has the full power to use Scrump to do effective curses.
While most Disney princesses have the power to make birds come to them or change their dress color or just sing real nice, the Hawaiian Disney icon has the power to … curse people. Which … that’s not problematic, right?
Marge Had Rabbit Ears
The Simpsons is the longest-running show that has or will ever exist, featuring every single topic, conversation, word, or combination of thoughts that anyone could have. Due to this, the show has changed quite a lot since the beginning, starting horribly, getting good, and then settling back into being abjectly horrible. But somewhere in the middle of that, an arcade game was released and, despite being a tie-in, it completely kickass. It also revealed important character information, like that Bart was a good skateboarder, that Homer ate donuts, and that … Marge had rabbit ears?
Konami
Yeah, for some reason, Marge Simpson had rabbit ears in the videogame. Turns out this was planned for the television show too.
Weirder still, this isn’t just a one-off goof. This was an idea developed to tie in Matt Groening’s pitched series to the one he originally was going to pitch. See, back before he did The Simpsons, he was going to try and pitch a strip he had called Life in Hell, featuring giant anthropomorphic rabbits. The idea was that on the last episode of the Simpsons (will that day ever come), he was going to have her hair part to reveal that she was actually from Life in Hell. However, the idea was abandoned, partially due to continuity and partially due to Groening realizing the heat-death of the universe would occur before The Simpsons ever ended.
But this idea still lives on in arcades everywhere. Yeah, arcades everywhere. We swear.
