SHINee’s Disney Movie Plots

Disney Anon requested a little something for their birthday and while I was thinking of what to write, I came up with an idea. If the SHINee members had their own Disney films, what would the plots be? This was the result, hope you like it!

Onew

He lives in a town known for having a high population of heroes

You know, the kind of people who always end up being the only ones who can fix the main conflict in their story

Anyway, Jinki isn’t one of those chosen ones, he’s a baker

He really doesn’t mind being normal. Sure, a grand adventure sounds fun, but he’s quite content running his little bakery in the town square

Besides, a lot of the heroes end up becoming jerks anyway

But one day, something weird happens: all the heroes have disappeared

Everybody in town is worried, but nobody does anything since “they aren’t heroes”

Eventually, Jinki decides that enough is enough and that someone has to do something, so he closes his shop, packs some food, and sets out to find a way to fix things

Along the way, he encounters many obstacles, but he keeps moving forward, using what he has available to him to solve the problems and eventually saving the day with the help of the friends he met along the way

The general tone of the movie would be fairly lighthearted, with the characters occasionally poking fun at tropes that are usually found in “chosen one goes on an adventure to save the day”-type films

Moral: You don’t need to be a hero to do the right thing OR Everybody can be a hero

Jonghyun

He’s a Prince who is going to become King soon

There’s one problem though: he has no clue what he’s doing

Actually, that’s not entirely true. He’s been taught how to be a King since the day he was born, he knows exactly what he’s supposed to do

He’s nervous. The fate of his kingdom rests on his shoulders, but he doesn’t think he’s ready

More accurately, his advisors don’t think he’s ready, and their beliefs are influencing Jonghyun and making him believe that he won’t be a good King

Eventually, he gets so filled with fear that he tries to run away

The thing is, he grew up in a palace, with servants to help him with pretty much everything. He’s never been out on his own, so he doesn’t get far

A kind elderly shopkeeper finds him huddling somewhere during a rainstorm and takes him in for the night

They have a heart-to-heart talk over some warm food (you know, as you do with complete strangers) and Jonghyun finally lets out everything that he had been holding in for so long

The shopkeeper reassures Jonghyun and gives him some advice that convinces him to return home and claim his rightful place on the throne. His reign has a shaky start, but King Jonghyun quickly becomes one of the most beloved monarchs in his kingdom’s history

Moral: Change is scary, but if you trust and believe in yourself, then you can do anything

Key

Kibum is from a small, perhaps not-so-well-off place, but he manages to get a scholarship to one of the top schools in the country.

Obviously he jumps at the chance to go to this school, but once he’s there, he feels a bit embarrassed because of where he’s from when compared to his classmates

Key starts lying, telling people he’s from another, “fancier” place

He makes friends, but it’s quite clear that some of them are only his friends because they believe that they’ll benefit from it

Eventually, people ask Key more questions about his life before attending that school, so, instead of coming clean about where he’s actually from, he lies more

It gets messy and his story starts to get confusing

Eventually, he slips up and gets found out. His “friends” pretty much abandon him, but his actual friends, while upset with the fact that he had lied to them for so long about so much, do forgive him

Moral: Be honest with yourself, and be honest with those around you. Be who you are because those that mind don’t matter and those that matter don’t mind

Minho

It’s your classic ‘Prince and the Pauper’ story, with Minho being the pauper

He works in the Royal Stables, tending to the animals, mucking stalls, making sure the horses are fit to ride, all that

He loves his job, he really does, but every so often, he imagines what it’d be like to be royalty

He gets to find out what it’s like soon enough though

The Prince returns home for his coronation after spending a few years abroad, and he and Minho are shocked to discover that they have very similar faces

That’s when the Prince, who had always wanted a way to escape his royal life, gets an idea

Minho and the Prince switch lives for a few days, experience everything that they want to experience, and then switch back before anybody notices

It’s the perfect plan

Or so they thought

The Prince learns fairly quickly that, when you’ve lived in luxury your whole life, manual labour is very difficult. The scrubbing, the scraping, the hauling, the brushing, it’s exhausting. Plus, there’s this one horse that he swears just has it out for him (her name is Muffin and she is Minho’s absolute favourite)

Meanwhile, Minho enjoys his first few days living as the Prince, but then he has to take care of some princely duties, and finds out that it isn’t all relaxation and fun. Nobles are horrible. And the lessons on how to be a proper King are almost worse

The duo agrees to switch back earlier than originally planned, having had enough of each other’s lives, and having a new respect for each other

Moral: The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Also, don’t pretend to know what someone’s life is like until you’ve been in their shoes

Taemin

Taem is a magic user who attends a school with other magic users

Now, at the beginning of the movie, Taemin...isn’t the most skilled member of his class

His teachers and his family all say that he’s just a late bloomer, but they’ve been saying that for years and he’s starting to think that he’ll never bloom at all

His classmates don’t help either. A lot of them bully him for not being great at magic

It also doesn’t help that everybody in his entire family is known for being very strong, very capable magic users

He’s constantly getting compared to his brother and cousins and he HATES it

His classmates gave him the nickname ‘Magic Hands’ as some sort of cruel joke

That may also be a good name for the movie

Part of him wants to quit, to leave school and just live a life without magic

But another part of him wants to prove all those jerks wrong

He chooses to do the latter, and begins practicing whenever he can

There’s a cool Rocky-esque training montage and then it’s the end of the school year

The school’s year-end Magic Showcase is going on and Taemin decides to sign up

It’s his turn on stage. The room is quiet and everybody is looking at him

He begins to panic, but then one of his biggest tormentors is all like “Look at Magic Hands, isn’t even pretending that he can do magic” and just starts heckling him

At first, Tae is mortified and about to run off the stage, but then he decides that if the people want Magic Hands Taemin, then they’ll get Magic Hands Taemin

He pulls himself together and casts his magic, causing every light in the room to go out

The usual group of jerks are about to start teasing him again, when somebody points out that something’s happened to the ceiling

The ceiling, which was once a plain old ceiling, was now covered in thousands of glittering stars

Everybody oohs and ahhs and then, with a wave of his hand, Taemin makes the stars explode, and it pretty much starts raining glitter

Taemin’s family is proud of him, his teachers are proud of him but, most importantly, Taemin is proud of himself and all he accomplished

Moral: You may not be naturally good at something, but through hard work and dedication, anything is possible
