My Original Thoughts

The first time I watched "Beauty and the Beast" was a loooong time ago. My mother loved, and still loves, that movie, along with my sister. Naturally, they made me watch it over.. and over.. and over. No matter what though, I never got a real opinion of Belle. She was just kind of there. At all my costume parties, and such, my mom and older sister always tried me to dress up in Belle attire for Halloween, but I left that for all the other girls. ;) I was just never a Belle fanatic.

My Thoughts Now

Some habits die hard, because I'm still not in the Belle fandom. (or "BatB" for that matter) And let me just say, I hate how some people find her the most intelligent! Her vocabulary is somewhat lengthy, but just because reads vitabu (which she specifically alisema she reads fiction) does not make her smart!

Okay, okay, rant mode off. Either way though, I don't upendo Belle, I don't really like Belle, but I don't dislike her. I upendo her bravery; I consider her one of the most brave selfless princesses, but I don't really like much else. I used to like Beast, the angry jerk. Then, he got Belle. After that, Beast goes all lovey-dovey like Belle and is ruined lolol.

Beauty

No doubt about it, Belle can be beautiful. The reason I say can is because I find her very inconsistent. Her ever-changing lip color gets on my nerves. And tbh, Belle's hair is super stringy and not my inayopendelewa color. Her eyes are really pretty, even though I usually don't like hazel-ish eyes. I upendo her skin tone and dayum I adore them cat nails! Overall, she ends up toward the high middle of my orodha for this.

Wardrobe

I don't hate Belle's wardrobe; it's just not my favorite.. A lot of it is just meh for me. The blue dress not that impressive, along with the green dress, and the cape (of which I hate that hideous pink-ish color.) I do somewhat like the yellow ballgown. My inayopendelewa of hers would have to be the pink dress Belle wears UNDER the ugly cape. Now that pink color suits her and it simply looks lovely.

Voices
Speaking

I don't particularly have a problem with Belle's speaking voice. It's nice, but I have no reason to upendo au hate it.

Singing

This is the one place where my opinion has changed vastly. I used to absolutely HATE Belle's annoying imba voice. Something about it almost made me cringe. Then, I really started to focus on the voice zaidi each time I watched "BatB." Turns out, I adore it now! It's beautiful, and it's almost hard to explain. :)

MalloMar I agree with this article. I have little to no strong feelings on Belle or Beauty and the Beast. I didn't grow up with the movie, but it got so much praise that I assumed it was a must-see. It's an okay movie. Belle is certainly pretty, but her personality doesn't interest me very much. I admire her kindness. I actually love her speaking voice, not sure why. Her singing voice is nice, too. Overall, I don't dislike her, but I don't really love her either. *blushes* I got called a cutie... Nice article, Annika!

Swanpride Reading makes intelligent, even if you read "just" fiction (which we don't know for sure Belle does, she favour fiction, but the movie suggests that she is interested in everything she can read about). Because fiction is full of information. A better vocabulary is also a sign of intelligence. Reading (and education) aside: Belle shows her smarts in other ways, too. For example when Gaston corners her in her home and she decides to lure him to the door in order to throw him out. That is some really quick thinking. Later she recognises that cockworths is easy to sway with compliments and uses this to her advantage. Now, I am not saying that she is the smartest (Rapunzel and Mulan are both smarter than her) or the best educated (since Merida got formal schooling and she didn't). But she is certainly smart and various levels. And when she was created, she certainly was the smartest, because, well, the alternatives were the classic princesses who don't really display that much smarts, and Ariel, who tends to be downright stupid. Belle was the start of a string of princesses for which "she is smart" was considered an important character trait. There is no reason to be annoyed about it.

CRaZy_rawR When you explain it like that, yes! But that was more directed to the people who's say she is smart simply based on the fact she reads. ^^

shanyuisboss I really like this article! I like that you kept it short and simple but still fun to read. Although I disagree on one thing. First of all, Belle never said that all she reads is fiction. She said that she prefers fiction. I know a lot of people that prefer fiction but still read non fiction. I see that you acknowledged in the comments that you think she is intelligent, but what do you mean by people that say that simple because she reads? I don't think the people that say that mean it for the reason to be that simple. They just don't go into detail explaining why reading the amount she does usually makes you more intelligent. I don't really agree with you on everything in this article, because it is your opinion after all. I personally never found Belle to be as inconsistent as people make her out to be. Anyway, good job.

MaidofOrleans Nice job! Don't agree on everything (Belle is my number one haha) but I liked the article!

Silverrose1991 Lovely article. Belle is one of my favorite princesses: I like her relatively simple, soft personality combined with bravery, selflessness and depth (as in th opposite of being shallow and vapid). She inspires me to get back in touch with my inner bookworm. So I can't agree much, but it was an enjoyable read because you are a natural writer. Btw, I love the clean way you're organizing this series.

audreybrooke I also feel mostly ambivalent about Belle. Well done! :)

8804 Great article, and good analysis! I'm liking this series, CraZy_rawR!!!! I always considered Belle there...as a plot device. I mean, she's supposed to have the beast fall in love with her in order to "break the spell." And there wasn't as much dimension and verve to her personality ( striking out with her own ideas) as happened with other princesses. So, though I like her, it's only ever been "like." It's never been "love."

MadameLee there's a delete scene where she meets enchanted objects in the library,-a telescope, a globe, and a book stand. They all kind of talk her ear off in a sense (from what I saw of it).

Disney princess dreseses: cinderella

1. Working dress

Hi there, My inayofuata princess will be Cinderella. She has a few zaidi outfits than snow white so we will be having zaidi information today.

1. Working dress
I must begin kwa saying it's not a dress It's just a blue juu with a brown like vest on, brown skirt, white apron with brown flat plump shoes. Like snow whites it's not an outfit wewe would go on a tarehe with au meet a handsome prince but for a worker then its the best for the job. 5/10

2. Ball dress A
Those step sisters just can't stand her and her dress as it was quickly destroyed. The dress is a pink mainly with a white lower section, pink heels...

Hello again everyone! Here we are with the orodha of best brown outfits. There are a few of them among the DPs, and I enjoyed this countdown because these outfits so rarely get the spotlight. Most of them are overshadowed kwa other outfits the characters wear. Hope wewe enjoyed it!

6. Snow White's brown and white dress

I was kind of sad to see this dress be the first eliminated, although I expected as much. I'm rather fond of this dress for some reason. I'm not sure why. I actually like it better than her iconic dress - I think the colors look much nicer on her...

Disney Princesses' Favourite Kenny G's muziki

posted by deedragongirl

Hello Kenny.

Okay, since I had done with Enya. Now it's Kenny G's turn! Are wewe ready?

1. Songbird

Whenever I listened to this music, Snow White would come to my mind since she loves birds, especially during the 'With a Smile and a Song' and the 'Working Song' scene.

2. kwa the Time the Night is Over

Ella and Kit/ cinderella and Prince Charming, I personally think it suits the latter zaidi because when the night is over, he will find the mysterious girl that fits the glass slipper.

3. moyo and Soul

Princess Aurora and Prince Philip will dance together to this music, especially during 'Once upon a Dream' and...

Belle and Beast - 'Beauty and the Beast'

1 Belle and Beast - 'Beauty and the Beast'

Sometimes it's the little details, like lady Lumiere in the background and dude!Belle's glasses in his pocket.

2 Cruella de Vil - '101 Dalmatians'

And sometimes it's just being uncomfortably attracted to one of the most evil people in the Disney lexicon.

3 Elsa - 'Frozen'

There would be no eternal winter with this smoking hot King on the Thorne.

4 Esmeralda - 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'

Did God help the outcasts get ripped? Because dayum.

This makeover makes her derisive 'He's a man!' line even better.

Best Orange/Yellow DP Outfit Countdown Results!

posted by MaidofOrleans

hujambo everyone! This is my sekunde countdown in the series, and it was a short one since there are only three yellow dresses and one machungwa, chungwa dress among the DPs. Despite that, I thought it was a good countdown.

4. Tiana's machungwa, chungwa dress

I don't think this dress is ugly, but most users agreed that it was very plain, and some didn't like the color on Tiana very much.

It's not as cute as the others and it's not iconic like Belle and Snow White's dress. ~SarahCorine
It is also nice, but others are just better. ~hirohamada
Orange is not a flattering color on Tiana. ~wavesurf
Not interesting....

hujambo everyone! So this is the first culminating makala in a series of countdowns that I am doing. There will be one for each color of outfit. The winning outfit in each countdown will then continue on to a final countdown which will determine Fanpop's number one DP outfit. Enjoy! :)

9. Mulan's pink and blue underclothes

I didn't mind this outfit. In fact, I quite liked the contrast between the blue juu and pink bottom. However, most users disagreed, finding it too plain.

Unremarkable. ~Silverrose1991
It's very plain and is just undergarments ~KataraLover
Too plain and not interesting. ~Sparklefairy375...

Les Miserables & Cinderella: A Lesson of Forgiveness

posted by deedragongirl

Loving this movie.

Okay, I was watching the 2012 version of Les Miserables last night and I had seen the 2015 reboot of cinderella last month. Both sinema have a common theme with each other: Forgiveness. The characters also play a similar traits to each other.

Cinderella

While watching this movie last month, I keep thinking that the story reminds me of Les Miserables! Aside from the same filming location of France, certain scenes and characters remind of some characters from Les Miserables.
For example, during the scene after Lady Tremaine and the 2 stepsisters called Ella kwa her trademark name, Cinderella. The...

misscindyspice made this

A while ago, I did a kura ya maoni series called "A Movie Staring Disney Princesses" , deciding what roles Disney Princesses would play in a movie (results are down below. And then I ilitumwa a forum, deciding plots. Although I did decide most of the plot, many people helped me get started and got the plot going in my head, so I can't take all the credit. Thank wewe to those who participated- whether wewe helped in the forum, voted in the kura za maoni au both, and I'm sorry for the long wait. This will take place in a few parts- I don't know how many exactly, but I estimate four-five.

I have already done this, a few months zamani actually and I decided to do it again. My opinion has changed a lot, because a lot of people have made good points and so many of these good points have changed my opinion quite s bit.

13. Aurora

It's not so much that I dislike her, it's just I found her kind of bland in her movie. She was boring, though I enjoyed her sweet personality. I get she had to sleep, it was simply a part of her story, but I just didn't get to know her much. I know it sounds kind of unfair, but I find it hard to place her higher.

12. Pocahontas

I don't dislike her...

Maleficent vs cinderella

Who do wewe choose? Live-action reboot au Animated???

Who do you choose? Live-action reboot or Animated???

So, since Disney has release 2 live-action reboots of their Disney classic animated feature. Here is what I think about which movie is better, as well as their animated counterparts.

Cinderella (1950 & 2015)

I would definitely go for the live-action version, as mentioned in my awali articles. Ella has zaidi personality compare to her animated counterpart, and of course, less screen-time for the mice.
However, no Bruno the dog! Also, no songs in it. I wish it was, but on the other hand, the producers and Kenneth Brannagh didn't want the movie to be to close to its original 1950 animated...

My First Impressions on Frozen

posted by deedragongirl

The cast!

Hi guys, since Frozen has took the world kwa storm, this makala is basically about my initial impressions about the story-line, the songs and music, as well as the art and characters' designs back in 2003, 10 years before the movie that took the world kwa storm.

The Story

When I first heard that Disney was going to adapt the Snow Queen, my first impression was that it was going to be faithful towards the original story kwa Hans Christian Anderson. Secondly, I thought that it was about 2 sisters who one of them discover to have ice powers, according to a prophecy, were separated since they were...

Tangled vs. Frozen

posted by ace2000

Hi everyone!

In this article, I’m going to compare two sinema from the Disney Revival, one revolving around a Lost princess with magical golden hair, and the other revolving around two sisters, one of whom is a Queen with ice powers.

Part A. Which is the "better" movie?

Tangled has a zaidi cohesive plot and seems to me to have deeper characters that interact superbly with each other. Emotions and thoughts were successfully conveyed with an abundance of facial expressions. The hair uhuishaji was astounding, but the skin and eyes could sometimes seem plastic-like au lifeless....

12) The Princess and the Frog
I'm not positive but I think this has a somewhat large fanbase on Fanpop? Even if it doesn't, I don't think that I'll ever adore this film. I'll start with the positives. I upendo Down in New Orleans and basically the whole beginning. When Tiana is human, it's actually very entertaining. I adore Lottie, and it just is, for lack of better word, better during this part of the film. It's funnier and much, much less obnoxious. I like Facilier and Tiana and Naveen is hilarious at times, but the sekunde half of the film...oh lord. It's so annoying...half the time I can't...

Disney MBTI: Snow White (ENFJ)

posted by AudreyFreak

I find that Snow has the opposite problem as Elsa: she is frequently just typed as a sensor (because wewe know, she's all traditional and not adventurous and likes to cook and all that boring sensor stuff, right?). There's a lot of bias and stereotyping with MBTI fans, and I used to be guilty of it too (OK, sometimes I still am). though to be fair, I think Snow IS a little underdeveloped in ways, so she could really be interpreted either way. However, I'll explain why I think she uses Ni over Si.

Extraverted Feeling (Fe): No doubt about it, Snow White is warm, caring, and a social butterfly....
