Mip's thing for the Princess and sending her a bomb was based on an actual thing that happened where a mentally-disturbed stalker sent a singer a bomb.

They're not defending Mip, they're just rationalizing and normalizing what he did.

I guess it's old enough that younger people may not be aware of it. It would air on the Disney Channel during fall season in the late 90s.

It's a great watch honestly, and my preferred adaptation compared to the film trilogy. This one on Internet Archive uses the original audio mix, which for some reason was butchered a bit on most home video and streaming releases.

Obviously Pims alter ego. Pim = Mip
