Aesop Animation: King Vulcan and Queen Morana (Patreon)
Content
And finally we end on the antagonists of Aesop Animation's adaption of Goldilocks, none other than Golde's own parents- "Too Hot" King Vulcan and "Too Cold" Queen Morana.
King Vulcan and Queen Morana are Goldilocks parents and the main villains of Aesop Animation's adaption of the classic fairytale. They are extreme polar-opposite who were married as a political move between two neighboring kingdoms. King Vulcan is too hothead, large in size yet hard. Queen Morana is cold, small in stature and soft, but her demenor keeps Golde at a distance. Both parents want Golde to succeed them as rule, but constantly try to make her like one or the other, which has led to Golde’s turmoil and an obsessive need to make everything 'just right.' So bad was their parenting that Golde opted to run away into the forbidden enchanted forest, but both realized they could use the excuse to invade the enchanted forest to find Golde for their real plans- to take the forest magic for their own political power and expand their kingdoms. When Golde finds the love she has always needed with the bears and see what her parents truly are, she is able to trick them into turning against each other and left their fate be lost in the forest's magic forever. But that was not the end of Vulcan and Morana- as new villains brought to life just as Helvira had taken over Toontopia, the two were quickly offered a place in her court if they sold out their other casts, which naturally as villains they did. However, in doing so, once Toonman returned and defeated Helvira, the two were quickly ostracized by their fellow cartoons and left with no choice but to join up with Simon. But being new cartoon villains, they didn't exactly share in Simon's hatred of humans yet, having not been in the animation industry long enough to gain any reason to, and instead found Simon more of a monster than them, and quickly abandoned him. Now truly not wanted anywhere, the two have since ventured out into the human world to find themselves and find a place where they belong.
Yep, so the antagonists of Goldilocks are none other than Golde's own parents. This was an original idea of Zigwolf's and I really enjoyed if very much because in most Disney fairytale cases the bad guys are evil stepparents, uncles/aunts or adoptive mothers. Rarely do you ever see an own Disney Princess' own mother being the villain, so I thought it was a unique way to do a Disney Princess villain for Aesop Animation. But yeah, they two are meant to be reflective on the too hot and too cold tropes of Goldilocks. Admittedly, I've been having a hard time trying to find a place for them in Toonman's world after the Helvira events. As new villains I figured they would quickly sell out to save their skins, but that ultimately ostracizes them and would naturally force them to join up with Simon, but they have yet to be alive long enough to feel hatred towards their human creators like he would. So I've kinda left it open end now in that they've kinda dug themselves a big hole and have to lie in it.
Hope you guys like these new cartoon characters! Let us know what you think with a comment below!
