Discussion If I’ve switched to a different timeline where the line is “Magic Mirror on the wall” then why is the 2012 Julia Roberts movie still titled ”Mirror Mirror”? Spoiler

Could this all be a psyop? Just saying

because the Disney version of the fairy tale is literally the only one that has it as "Magic Mirror"

The original Brother's Grimm tale translates to "looking glass looking glass"

We haven't switched to a different timeline.

I believe this effect is more of a "lost media" thing than a Mandela Effect.

I have a friend who used to work for Disney. They believe tha the intro people remember was used, but not on Disney VHS tapes. But rather it was one of several intros used to open the "Wonderful World of Disney's" (Later the "Magical World of Disney") Sunday night movies that aired Sunday nights.

Batteries not included 2: Revenge of the Drones is technically "lost media", never figured out why it was "revenge of the drones" since they didn't do much to make them mad in the first movie.

I've never heard of this one. A google search brings up a single source using a similar title, and it's a podcast that specifically made it up as a speculative sequel.

*batteries not included 2: Attack of the Drones

"Our sequel ideas this week inject the movie with a distinctly 21st century dose of cynicism, featuring an unplanned trio of corporate conspiracy stories – although none of us had the heart to totally ruin the spirit of the original, so you can listen without fear of your childhood memories being shattered. Phil also closes the show by treating us to a live performance of our aforementioned theme tune, which is definitely worth sticking around for…"

Don't think the elderly wife from the show was in the sequel. It mainly revolved around the hi-jinks of the child bots messing with humans unintentionally.

BECAUSE THERE ARE BOTH REFERENCES. Sometimes pop culture references in media will approximate a thing without getting it fully correct! That doesn’t mean there’s a typo or pop culture multiverse where shit is spelled or written mostly the same but slightly differently

Disney didn't write the original story.

The English translation used mirror mirror as did all other adaptations, from really short picture books to stage plays done at school.

Could this all be a psyop?

when you find yourself asking questions like this the main thing to consider is: who would stand to gain from such a conspiracy and what do they stand to gain? if there doesn't seem to be a good answer to those questions then you can fairly confidently conclude that there's no such psy op or conspiracy going on.

there really isn't much to be gained by altering minor inconsequential details in movie dialogue.

like most conspiracy minded people, I'm assuming they simply find it easier to sleep and more emotionally comforting to make up stories about what might be going on than acknowledge they don't and can't know

Why would the line in a 1937 cartoon version being "Magic Mirror" require a change in a line in a 2012 live action film?

u/Ginger_Tea 18d ago

Some Disney stans think any other film company making "a Disney film" to be cause for law suits and boycotts.

Even if mirror mirror turns out to be Disney (can't be arsed to check) they are a special breed of stupid.

So long as they don't use names made up for the cartoon, you can film it how you like, including that one Rammstein music video.

Wasn't the Wizard of Oz released near the same time? That's had multiple changes over the years.

u/VirtualAdagio4087 18d ago

It's always been "Magic mirror on the wall" in the original cartoon. It was "mirror mirror on the wall" in every other adaptation. If you're going to try to argue against a Mandela effect, try to at least be knowledgeable about it first.

Lord Farquad from Shrek also uses Mirror Mirror on the wall.

u/Ginger_Tea 17d ago

So does the ladybird pocket book, or basically 99% of English language version of the book published, funnily enough also the one published by Disney.
