Welcome to EL&U. Are you referring to the title of the Disney film/play? Context is essential to questions about meaning. Second, if it is the title, why do you think the title can have only one meaning? It is in fact very common for a work to be given a title which has multiple interpretations, deliberately.

Yeah, I mean the Disney film, and if it has multiple interpretations then of course there is a significant one .Right? If so, then what is it, as a native?

This question may be more appropriate for the Movies and TV site. Any of your interpretations are valid from a linguistic standpoint. Which possible interpretation is best is probably off-topic here.
