This is very similar to the one on the Disney Princess club, except here you can say your unpopular opinion about any of the CAMH characters or movie. Please state your opinion in a polite way, and when you're replying to someone please be polite, even if you disagree with their opinion.

I never liked the character Anastasia. She's always come across as a snob, to me, not mention the fact that she runs away with con artist instead of staying with her grandmother she had been trying to find.
Tygers_Eye commented…
I liked her better as a kid than I do now (I even got an Anastasia/Dimitri box set of dolls dressed in their opera clothes), but the reasons wewe mentioned are indeed the reasons I don't like her as much as when I was little. That, and she's voiced kwa Meg Ryan. =_= zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

I tried to like her as a child because she was so maarufu and all my Marafiki liked her. But even then she kind of rubbed me the wrong way. zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

^then that just means people like hard to like characters. not surprising. look how maarufu Sherlock, House, and Sheldon Cooper are. IRL none of them would have friends, though. zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

Apparently I'm the only person here who loves Tiger Lily. =(

And the original girl that Mowgli fell for, NOT the bastardized sequel. (Though I am grateful they named her so I would have something to call her.)

For what it's worth, I KNOW both Shanti and Tiger Lily suffer from problematic race and gender portrayals in the first films. However, I don't believe in throwing the baby out with the bathwater. That is, I don't believe in discarding everything good about a character just because she has problematic aspects too. I feel they both have likable and admirable characteristics (Shanti's confidence, grace, and poise; Tiger Lily's courage, loyalty, and integrity) and actions (Shanti getting Mowgli to return to the man-village where he belongs with just a flick of her eyelashes, and Tiger Lily refusing to betray her friend or compromise her integrity). I think these are very admirable traits, and are worth praising despite the problematic portrayal of their race and gender for their time period.

I was very young when I last saw The Jungle Book, so I haven't anything to say about Shanti. I really like Tiger Lily, especially how proud she looks when Hook has captured her, but like wewe said, she has many flaws. zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

I love Chel. I'm not really sure if that's an unpopular opinion, but not many people talk about her here and when they do, they usually say that they don't like her, but I find her a very interesting character, because she's so sly, manipulative and she actually plays an important part in the film, she's not just a love interest. I wish the movie would show why she wanted to leave from El Dorado.

I don't like Astrid from How to Train Your Dragon. To me she seems just the typical "badass" warrior chick who's so tough and angry with everybody but she knows how to wield a sword so we MUST like her. I also don't like her romance with Hiccup, it just screams of the typical "the dweeb who falls for the popular mean girl at school" cliche.

zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita KataraLover said…
How To Train You Dragon is an awful movie! The characters (except for Toothless) are annoying and stereotypes, the animation is average at best, the designs are horrible, the dragons don't look like freaking dragons, the relationships (besides the one between Hiccup and Toothless) are terrible and rushed, it's predictable, cliche, unoriginal, boring, forgettable, and misses every opportunity it has to be unique and different. Cliche's aren't always a bad thing, some stories need them in order to work. But the thing about them is how they are done and what can make them really work is if they do something new with it, but they don't. I really don't get how something as brilliant and unique as Rise of The Guardians isn't nearly as popular as this piece of crap! The only good things about the movie are the action scenes and the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless. I can name several cliches the movie does and they don't add anything new to.

1.The dork that makes something of himself (except they make his dorkiness WAY TOO OVER THE TOP!)
2.The closed-minded and one-dimensional strict dad that is supposed to get his rushed redemption, despite being so unlikable that I don't care because he's too mean-spirited and despicable.
3.The b*tchy tough girl that's becomes the bland and unnecessary love interest.
4.The liar reveal.
5.The mean-spirited town that thinks the protagonist is a freak and a nuisance.
6.The two twins that always argue over every little thing.
7.The one character that's a bigger dork than the main character that's both supposed to make the main character look good and try to get some pathetic laugh out of the audience, despite not being funny.
8.The big, tough idiot that is really a wimp and tries to flirt with the female lead.
9.The rushed romance between the dorky guy and the b*tchy tough girl that changes because the plot says so.
10.The dork becoming loved by everyone by lying because it pleases their selfish egos.

Need I go on? I can't believe people praise this film for being groundbreaking, despite not being that AT ALL and instead being a predictable, cliche, and forgettable piece of crap.

Rise of the Guardians is perhaps Dreamwork's best film of the post-Shrek era. Pre-Shrek is Prince of Egypt.
And if anyone comes along and claims that Shrek is the best Dreamworks film...Hahahah NO.
KataraLover commented…
Rise of The Guardians is definitely the best of the Dreamwork's movies. The best pre-Shrek era was The Prince of Egypt. However I think Shrek, Shrek 2, and The Croods are better than The Prince of Egypt, even though it's phenomenal. zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

Oh! I also think Swan Princess and Thief and the Cobbler are great films. Ever since Monsieur Doug Walker trashed them everybody thinks it's okay to jump on their hate bandwagons. And sure, Swan Princess may be silly and cheesy, and Thief spends more time focused on the animation to develop well its characters, but overall they're not bad films.

Walker's just a pretentious snob who only likes non-Disney films when THEY are pretentious and do incredibly "serious" dramatic stuff away from the Disney formula (Prince of Egypt, Iron Giant, Secret of NIMH)- When they're laidback and do their own fairy tale spin, he's screaming like a chicken "RIP OFF! RIP OFF!"

It's hilarious because then Disney could do the laziest most formulaic movie ever, and his only negative comment would be "Meeeeh?" (check out most of his Disneycember). He's so Disney-biased I'm amazed nobody has called him out on it.
KataraLover commented…
Personally I think Doug Walker is awesome and really funny. I do think he's closed-minded when it comes to Non-Disney animated films that have that Disney style to it, like The swan Princess and Quest For Camelot. I agree with wewe on The swan Princess, except I don't think it's silly au cheesy. I think it's just one of those sinema that is based off emotions and not logic, much like Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs and The Wizard of Oz. As for The Thief and The Cobbler, it's not bad but it's not particularly good in my opinion. The uhuishaji is awful, the characters are generic, the songs are bland, and it's pretty forgettable. But overall, I thought the film was just okay. But yeah, I agree that Doug does do that whole double-standards thing and I hate how people jump the bandwagon on it. But he does hate Hercules, a Disney film with even zaidi problems than something like Quest For Camelot and The swan Princess. zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita
324anna commented…
I actually agree with Walker on these two films, but not because they're Disney rip-offs. And I agree with KataraLover on what he alisema about Doug, in my opinion he's awesome and I don't find any of the films wewe mentioned "pretentious". zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

Tygers_Eye commented…
I like The swan Princess and The Thief and the cobbler, mshona viatu too, but they are flawed movies. I don't think Doug Walker is a pretentious snob though. I think he's a guy that made an online web series where he expresses his opinions on sinema in a comedic way because he wants to entertain people; make them laugh, make them think, and make them swali what makes a movie good au not (as of the Nostalgia Editorials). I'm also a little annoyed kwa how he expects certain sinema to be; he seems to feel all Disney films should be "the best of the best" like The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, all DreamWorks CGI films should be like Shrek 2; fast-paced, high-energy, a joke a minute, etc; and non-Disney hand-drawn films should be very dramatic and nothing like Disney. If any of them don't fit into that box, he judges them poorly. It doesn't mean I think he's pretentious snob, just a little closed-minded when it comes to animated films. zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

I love Jane from Peter Pan 2. She's probably my third favorite CAMH. I think she's very underrated. She's a flawed, interesting and very unique character that develops and learns from her mistakes. Plus, she's the one who managed to kind of change Peter Pan, in the sequel he became more likable and less annoying imo. Wendy should take notes.

Definitely. I upendo her and don't get the criticism that she's a bad character because she fills the role of the girl who doesn't like games and having fun. She's the elder sister during a war! It makes perfect sense for her to act zaidi mature! zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

I think most of the time people say the Heroines are better than the Princesses are just being contrary because the DPs have their own franchise while most of the heroines are lucky to be remembered outside of the Internet. I don't doubt many people genuinely prefer them though. but in my experience, people who say this usually do it in a snotty way and always add on an insult for those dumb princesses who just sit around waiting for a prince when they do. I myself like some of both. and it's not fair to say all the heroines are better; there's only like 13 DPs and tons of heroines!

I'm sick of Jack Frost being shipped with every CG girl in existence. I don't think he's that cute. A good character maybe, but I find him a bit overrated (plus I'm just a Pitch Black person myself). I also don't think he and Elsa are a good couple at ALL despite them being everyone's favorite ship. They have nothing in common. it's like pairing Tigress and Bunnymund (for lack of a better example) just because they're both humanoid, talking animals.
324anna commented…
I actually believe they would make a lovely couple. Besides the obvious connection they share since they both have ice powers, they both have a special relationship with their little sisters. Also, I think that they could definitely make the "opposites attract" thing work, Elsa has many problems and she's so stressed all the time, so I think that the fun-loving and easy going Jack would make her relax and help her get over her issues. I do think he's overrated though. zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

Am I the only one who is not impressed that Belle reads? Yeah, duh, books are great, but I feel like in BatB they're used as some kind of lazy shorthand to indicate that she's smart and "different," yet she spends most of the movie doing silly things. (Man, if a violence-prone beast tells you to stay out of the West Wing, don't freaking go in there.) Actually, she should have been pretty genre-savvy considering her favorite book is one about meeting a prince in disguise. :)

I don' think she's the only one that reads, I just think she's one of the few women in the town that reads. It's not really meant to onyesha that she's smarter than everyone, more-so that she isn't willing to fall into the cookie cutter life every women is supposed to have in that town: Marry a man, and pampu out ten kids. It's just supposed to illustrate her independence and if wewe look at it that way, isn't contrary to things she does later in the movie (taking her father's place, going to the West Wing even though she was forbidden.) zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

I think people who claim movies like Anastasia, The Swan Princess, Thumbelina, and Quest For Camelot are Disney rip-offs are really just holding them to a double standard. I mean, sure they're very fantasy, fairy-tale, and princess like but most of the Disney movies aren't even about princesses, they're just the most popular. I mean, how is Secret of NIMH or An American Tail not a rip-off of The Rescuers, The Rescuers Down Under, or The Great Mouse Detective? Or The Land Before Time a rip-off of The Lion King or Bambi? This is complete bull crap in my opinion! Besides, who says Disney is the only one who can do this? So it's okay for Disney to do something new like Wreck-It Ralph but if a Non-Disney movie does something like Anastasia or The Swan Princess it's considered a cheap Disney imitation? DOUBLE STANDARD BULL CRAP!

People are dumb. They think that just because Disney has popularized some trope, that Disney owns it au invented it. And The Lion King itself actually owes a lot to both Hamlet and Exodus. But nobody wants to talk about that. zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

I'm copying and pasting a post I made on the original Disney Princess forum, just because I can and I don't care what anyone saying about me doing this lol.

"I know this is probably rude to say, but I just can't help but laugh my ass off every time I hear or see people say that Anna is a better developed and improved version of Rapunzel. I'm sorry, but in what world? The only thing Anna beats Rapunzel in is the looks department. Rapunzel actually grows, matures, and develops in her movie, Anna does not. She learns not to marry someone you just met at the last minute but that's it. Character development is non-existent in Frozen, so Anna is completely inferior to Rapunzel in my opinion. People say that Rapunzel is a Mary Sue but I ask, HOW? She has flaws! She's clumsy, awkward, insecure, shy, paranoid, a little reckless, naive, and ignorant. I hear people say she's also a Mary Sue because things come too easily to her but again, same thing happens with Anna and even Elsa. Anna is inexperienced but she's still shown as more skilled than Kristoff and constantly has to save him, who is supposed to be more skilled than her. Or Elsa being so skilled with her powers during Let It Go, despite having no real training and concealing her powers for almost all her life. Along with the fact that she conquers her anxiety and thaws the kingdom without even trying. You think that's not having things come easily to them? I'd say it's just as bad, if not worse, as it is with Rapunzel. Except, unlike Anna and Elsa, Rapunzel actually develops and matures. Plus, Anna's humor is A LOT more forced than Rapunzel's."

Boy, this forum is pretty dead. Oh well. I guess my next unpopular confession is that I consider The Swan Princess to be a genuinely good movie. Any supposed "flaws" or "plot holes" it has, are the same that the original Swan Lake ballet had and because it's a movie that doesn't base it's story on logic but rather by emotion like any other fairy-tale. Yes, it does have it's differences from the original source material like having the two main characters know each other their whole lives instead of another love at first sight story, having the fake Odette be an ugly old hag instead of Rothbart's daughter Odille, and bla bla bla. The romance, while not the best, is still great in my opinion because there are subtle hints of them liking each other as they grow up and can only show them when they're grown up and mature. Derek may have said "What else is there?" but he was just nervous and didn't know how to express his feelings. His journey is to learn how to express his feelings and appreciate those he loves. Odette is a strong and brave character that definitely has a three-dimensional personality. I will always be a HARDCORE defender of The Swan Princess.

Contrary to popular belief, I like hearing celebrities voicing animated characters. Maybe they're not as talented in voice-acting as actual voice actors, but there's a charm about watching an animated film and instantly going "Oh wow, that's John Goodman!" and seeing someone you know well giving their voice to an animated character. In a way they're cartoonized and that's really cool.

People always seem to think that Wreck-It Ralph should have won the Oscar for best animated film instead of Brave. I will admit that Brave is definitely inferior to such an incredible movie like Wreck-It Ralph. However, I don't think either of them should have won. I think Rise of The Guardians is definitely the film that should have won over both of them. The writing, pacing, characters, animation, and villain is much better than Wreck-It Ralph, and especially better than Brave. I think it's an even bigger disgrace that such a brilliant film like Rise of The Guardians wasn't even nominated for best animated film. I'm more angry about that than I am about Brave beating Wreck-It Ralph.

I just have to laugh when I hear people criticize DuckTales by saying: Launchpad is sexist because he flirts with women therefore he veiws them as sex objects, or Webby is a lame one dimensional character because she's the token chick, or Scrooge is mean and greedy and promotes greed, yet they never have anything thing negitive to say about the boys. In my personal opinion Huey, Dewey and Louie are much worse about all of these things then the three characters above. I don't see how Launchpad flirting or showing of to girls makes him sexist he's never shown looking down on them. Where as the boys say outright sexist things to girls, like constantly telling Webby she can't play/work with them because she's a girl. Really? I know Webby isn't a super complex character but she has much more depth the boys. She's a girly girl who loves adventure, and can keep up with the boys, and is shy but also is quite willing to stand up for herself and her friends well it calls for it. The boys on the other hand are your basic, prankster, adventurous kids. I'm not denying that Scrooge is greedy and does have his mean moments, but with him it's show as a FLAW that he's ashamed of and trying to overcome. And many of the times he's been accused of being greedy I have to disagree agree with. Like I don't see how it's greedy of him to rather give someone a job, than throw money them they haven't earned. The boys are at least as greedy as Scrooge in my opinion. They constantly nag Scrooge to raise their allowance even though he's told them if they do their chores they can have more money, they tell their best friend Doofus that if he wants to help with the lemonade stand he needs to pay them, they nag Mrs. Beakley for money until she pays them to leave her alone, and while Scrooge is sick in the hospital they take over his business in an effort to become rich and loose all the money. No wonder Scrooge's biggest fear was that they only loved him for his money. Like I stated above I'm well aware of Scrooge's greed, the difference between him and the boys is that the boys greed and meanness is shown as being cute and funny, which to is much worse then Scrooge's being shown as a flaw. Sorry about the rant, I had to get this off my chest.

Here's a confession I made on the Disney Princess confessions that I'm just going to add here.

"I'm not sure if this is unpopular opinion or not but whenever I'm debating, I'm never really trying to change someones opinion, especially since I know that I'm likely not to. Anyway I've changed someones opinion it's always a surprise to me. I'm just trying to share my point of view, I'm usually blunt about it that makes it seem rude but I'm not trying to be rude. Usually if I meet someone on Fanpop who agrees with everything I say (which only happened with two users) it freaks me out. Luckily, I find plenty of differences between us, which makes me relieved. I think most people would be happy to have someone who agrees with them on everything but I really don't. I mean, that's basically like just being with me and I don't want to be with me, I'M WITH ME ALL THE TIME! I love hearing different opinions and sharing different opinions because they can tell me something I've never thought of or I could be sharing with them something they've never thought about."

While I think it's great that there are people here who share my opinions on characters/movies/whatever, I agree that I also like the diversity of opinion here as long as people aren't being completely stupid au disrespectful about it. Actually seeing people reason out why they like au dislike something in these groups has sort of made me rethink how I've felt about a lot of characters au at least understand why some people will go out of their way to defend them. zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

I actually find Cruella De Vil to be quite beautiful in her own way. She's definitely not a traditional beauty like the Disney Princesses; or even some other villainesses like Vannessa or The Evil Queen. But I still find her to be quite attractive, to me she has a different, edgey, and almost harsh beauty to her.

Well, wewe know what they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Ironic because I think both live-action versions of her (the live-action remake version and the Once Upon A Time version) are beautiful and I think the animated version of her is hideous. I upendo Cruella but I don't find her attractive. But to each their own. I mean, I think Anastasia Tremaine is unconventionally beautiful, so I definitely get what wewe mean. zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita

Elsa is NOT as dutiful as people think she is. Not only does she run away from her problems and never faces them, but she did that before she revealed her powers. "But it's only for today," NO IT'S NOT ELSA! You're the QUEEN, you're going to have to talk to and see people because that's part of your duties as QUEEN! She can't just be crowned at her coronation and just never have to deal with any duties but that's exactly what she thinks she can do. I'm afraid it doesn't work that way and it shows that she's not dutiful.

Not exactly a CAMH opinion, but Nostalgia Critic's reviews can be such a hot mess sometimes. Yeah, I get that they're just his opinions, but sometimes he dresses them up in rhetoric that makes no sense. Like part of why he didn't especially like The Road to El Dorado is because it was too pretty, and pretty animation doesn't lend itself well to comedy; it should be saved for serious, epic stuff like The Prince of Egypt or something. Wtf. And then he goes on to gush over things like Bee Movie, a movie that sucks on a billion levels and has a totally ridiculous unworkable plot. Ignoring that movie's gaping flaws while ripping on a movie for being too pretty is just weird imo -- if you don't like El Dorado, go ahead, but that logic fails.

Well I'm not going to fault someone for disliking a movie that is well done and preferring one that isn't as well done, that's just personal taste.

I know people are going to disagree with me on this but I think Hercules is a genuinely bad movie but it's a bad movie that I like. I enjoy the music, the villain, most of the characters, and the animation is beautiful (though the designs suck). Hercules himself is okay but he's pretty much a meathead that has no common sense and relies too much on his strength and never learns to use his head, even though Phil keeps on telling him to. Shouldn't he know after the first time he did it that cutting the head of the hydra wasn't going to work? Plus those dang plot holes and bad story writing really makes it a bad movie but it's one that I enjoy. It's not something that's in my top 50 favorite Disney movies but I still enjoy it a lot but I admit that it's a genuinely bad movie.

While I do admit that it's flawed, I think Thumbelina is actually a genuinely good movie. The characters are likable (aside from that STUPID bird), the animation is beautiful, the songs are fantastic, the score is gorgeous, the couple has chemistry, and a lot of the "flaws" comes from the fact that it's a fairy-tale that relies on emotion instead of logic. But that's not to say that there aren't still some problems with the movie but not to the point where I would call it bad. Plus a lot of it does come from the fact that Don Bluth was being forced to hurry his movies up and was struggling financially. While it's no Anastasia or Swan Princess, it's still genuinely good in my opinion.

I honestly think Ducktales would be better if it didn't have Huey, Dewey, and Louie. I personally prefer them with Donald than I do with Scrooge, plus they're just really annoying in Ducktales (though not as much as in Quack Pack). I mean, Scrooge is already a well-established character and I think both Webby and Launchpad are good character in it of themselves. Plus I think Goldie should be part of the main cast too, since it would get rid of the whole "token chick" complaint that Webby gets. I mean, the four of them are so unique and likable. Scrooge is a greedy miser but he still has a heart and wants to overcome his flaws, Webby is definitely girly but is still adventurous and is just as (if not more) competent than the boys, Launchpad is definitely an idiot but has a good heart and shows that while he is incompetent can also be competent, and Goldie is an old woman but is also a badass that definitely shows you're only as old as you feel. Huey, Dewey, and Louie are just the standard, mischievous pranksters that don't even have individual personalities. Much like Donald, I don't think they belong in a serious story like Ducktales. I wish the reboot would not have them and would just have Scrooge, Webby, Launchpad, and Goldie in it but it's not going to, obviously.

Please don't hate me for this. Lol. I've never understood why the Disney Princess franchise is so popular. I don't dislike it or anything, but I think there are Disney franchises that are much more interesting than it is, and get a lot less attention. Like Mickey Mouse and Friends, Muppets, Disney Villains, and Pixar; have IMO a lot more diversity in thier characters, and characters that are a lot more complex. But that's just my personal opinion.

I personally like Shanti better in the sequel to The Jungle Book than I do in the original. She has more of a three-dimensional personality. She's responsible and she does fear the jungle (for obvious reasons) but she also has a fun and sassy personality and tries to overcome her fear in order to help a friend (even if the friend is mad at her). I never understood why people disliked her so much but loved her in the original movie. She was just a plot device in the original and was just there to lure Mowgli into the village in a way that makes him seem very shallow and emotionless about leaving his home. In the sequel she has an actual identity.

I don't understand the huge deal people make over Kida. She seems so bland and boring to me, a generic warrior princess who is the Chosen One. I wanted to MBTI type her and can't think of any real personality traits beyond "mysterious" at best. I was a kid when the movie I wanted to be her but then I realized it was only because she's a princess. I had tried to like her personality but found Helga and Audrey more interesting. I think most people just like her because 1) she's not a DP, which makes her hipster-cool 2) she's a fighter princess and 3) she's non-white, which the tumblr fans love.

She's dedicated to her people and her culture, which is shown with her trying all that she can to keep their culture from dying and her people from struggling. She wants to save the future of her culture and people. That's what people upendo about her. The fact that she's dutiful to her culture and her people.

Aurora isn't as mysterious as people would like to believe. When I think of a mysterious character I think of characters like Black Widow from The Avengers movies. I mean, we know her personality but we didn't know her past until Age of Ultron. It explains why she is the way she is but still left us wanting more. People say Aurora is three-dimensional and mysterious because we have to guess what her personality is and basically project themselves onto her. She's basically a blank slate. Not knowing much about her personality doesn't make her mysterious or three-dimensional, it's actually the exact opposite and it more bad writing in my opinion. Aurora does have a personality but it's one-dimensional. If I didn't know better, I'd say that's why people hate the Keys To The Kingdom version of her where they give her a three-dimensional personality, which means they can no longer guess what her personality is or project themselves onto her. I even saw someone on youtube actually admit that they love Aurora so much because she's a blank slate.

How to Train your Dragon 2 was a better movie than the first film (though the first film has better music). The story is more engaging and original than the first one who's super cliched. The big problem for me in the second film is that many interesting secondary characters fall short of characterization (Valka and Drago mostly) due to giving more screen time to Hiccup. And yeah, I know he's the protagonist, but It feels a little weird that we have Astrid who was a feisty warrior in the first film be turned into the passive supporting girlfriend who has no story of her own here (and i don't like Astrid in te original, but whatever).

Hiccup's mom is an interesting and complex character (is she a bad mother by leaving her family behind? was she doing good by staying with the dragons?) but she stops doing anything important to the story the moment Stoick dies. You'd think a character with such presence as her would do something engaging by the end of the film, but nope, she does nothing.
