Snow White ___________________________

In the beginning of the Grimm's Tale Schneewittchen, Snow White's mother pricks her finger with a sewing needle and three drops of her blood fall onto the snow which lay on the ebony windowsill. Oddly enough, this made her long for a daughter of a similar color scheme. While this reflects the arc of the story: (white)innocence, (red)maturity & love, and (black)death, her name particularly represents a season when the world metaphorically sleeps only to be inevitably awakened with the coming of spring.





_______________________________ Cinderella

Omitted from the Disney version of the fairytale, cinderella was actually the cruel nickname aliyopewa to her kwa her stepsisters for sitting at the dying cinders of the moto after her long days work. Cinderella's real name is never mentioned. Cinders have a number of symbolic meanings from being merely a chanzo of warmth and a hidden moto to represent rebirth in the story of the Firebird au Phoenix. In myth, the creature would die in the fiery blaze of its nest only to rise again reborn from the ashes signifying a rise to glory from the lowest of places.





Aurora ________________________________

Latin for "light" au "dawn", Aurora is her royal name aliyopewa kwa her parents. It may be stated in the film that this was "because she filled their lives with sunshine" but its also fitting for this princess since dawn is the time when the sleeping world awakes. It's no accident that she falls asleep at dusk and awakes upon sunrise. Incidentally one may recall her "hair of sunshine gold" but her "lips that shame the red red rose" are zaidi linked to her sekunde name.



Briar Rose ________________________________

Briar Rose, a pseudonymn aliyopewa kwa her fairy godmothers also has poetic meaning. The first word BRIAR, a mass of thorny plants obviously makes sense with the story's motif but a rose also has numerous conotations. Roses have represented love, beauty, virtue, femininity, and virginity hence why it is also a symbol of the Virgin Mary. But a briar rose is a thing of beauty surrounded kwa harsh thorny bramble -- much like Aurora herself in the ngome surrounded kwa the forest of thorns.





__________________________________ Ariel

Ariel's name probably has the most mysterious of origins but there are two possible sources that equally make sense. Song writers Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (both of Jewish heritage) had a surprising amount of creative input in the story having named several of Ariel's sisters. This could leave reason to suspect they may have also suggested the name Ariel, Hebrew for "Lion of God". Lions are well known symbols of strength and courage.




The sekunde possibility which actually ties into the first is the connection to the word 'ARIA'. Hebrew for "lioness". However in Italian it means "air" and is a musical term for a solo vocal piece with a light instrumental accompaniment. This probably makes the most sense considering music, and not lions, is the most obvious if not significant factor in Ariel's story.









Belle ________________________________

The most straight mbele of names, Belle is literally French for "beauty". Granted this makes sense since Belle's character is meant be physically attractive. However beauty is not just restricted to our visual sense but can encompass all the senses and even that of our spirit. Intended to contrast the physical ugliness of the beast, Belle's purpose in the story is ultimately to transform the beast's soul to match the beauty of her own. She is everything the beast must aspire to be.





________________________________ Jasmine

Most people assume jimmy, hunitumia is merely a reference to the jimmy, hunitumia maua, ua and to a certain degree it is. jimmy, hunitumia is actually indigenous to the Middle East. Known as "yasmine" to the natives, the maua, ua is so pleasantly fragrant that the name translates to "gift from God" in Arabic. In the western world it can represent sensuality, elegance, and modesty -- a particular virtue Aladin au Ali Ababwa must obtain to win the moyo of the princess.




Pocahontas _________________________

Pocahontas is unique being that she is the only Disney Princess whom we know actually existed. Historically she is known kwa three separate names. Powhattan for "little mischief", Pocahontas was actually a nickname aliyopewa to her because of her precocious and playful nature. Her real name was Matoaka au "bright stream between the hills". This can easily be linked to her affinity for rivers in the film. Her third name Rebecca, which she adopted after being baptized, is Hebrew for "to bind au bring together" and this is exactly what she did for her people and the Jamestown settlers.





___________________________________ Mulan

The story of Mulan is not a fairytale but a legend potentially based on real events of a woman named Hua Mulan which literally translates to "flower wood orchid", au the magnolia. Magnolias are a symbol of perseverance and nobility. The film makes reference to this in the scene when Mulan and her father sit beneath the magnolia tree. Her father subtly parallels his daughter to a late magnolia [mulan] blossom and how it will one siku be the most beautiful of all.




Tiana ___________________________________

Potentially derived from the Greek word 'TIANI' meaning "princess", being a maarufu name among African-Americans it may be fitting that the first black Disney Princess was named Tiana. However this was not her first name choice. Originally her name was Maddy but was deemed too racially insensitive. This is odd since Maddy is short for Madeline derived from Magdeline. Mary Magdeline was a friend of Jesus and only disciple strong enough to witness his crucifixion and the first to witness his resurrection -- a woman who went on a long journey and acheived a great spiritual transformation.


_______________________________ Rapunzel

Also known as "rampion" au "bellflower", rapunzel is an edible plant. In the Grimm's Tale, it was specifically this plant that a poor man aliiba from a witch's garden to feed his pregnant wife. As punishment, the witch took the poor couple's daughter and raised her away in a tower without any doors au stairs. This plant is not only beautiful but is also noted for its ability to grow in very inhospitable soils. Rapunzel is very much like her namesake plant in that she too flourishes in beauty, kindness and curiosity despite being locked away in a cruel world. (she will also be the first Disney Princess who's main color is purple.)

Disney sequels. The base-breakers of the Disney fandom. Some upendo them, some hate them. Some think they bring new perspectives to beloved characters, while others think they ruthlessly destroy and twist every aspect of the original movie. Well, one thing must be admitted: they were made with the intent to maziwa zaidi money for the franchise. But does that make all of them necessarily bad? No, but it does not make for a good start, really.

I think "The Enchanted Christmas" is proof of this. Having seen it yesterday, I can attest it has a lot of "pros" and "cons", which makes for a mixed bag. So...

As everyone walked into the cool night air, Mulan found the strength to talk about her heartbreaking experience. "We told our Marafiki and family. We didn't want to tell anybody else." she said. "We should've alisema something to wewe guys alot sooner." Shang replied. "You waited until the time was right." Pocahontas consoled. "I'm glad we took the tots with us. They've made this walk even zaidi enjoyable." John added. Mace and Ping were amazed at the nature all around them. Their faces lit up as they saw trees ans riverbends.

As the gang got near the infamous cliff Pocahontas loved going to, Mulan,...

Last time I wrote about songs that I thought suited Mulan, today I'll write about songs that I think suits Pocahontas, hope you'll like this makala :)

link - Bon Jovi
Totally suits her, she does crazy things in the movie and the people in her movie judge her because of that

link - Justin Timberlake
This song describes Pocahontas' and John Smith's relationship perfectly well (even though the song is quite long)

link - Katy Perry
Like the awali song it describes Pocahontas' and John Smith's relationship quite well, not as great as the awali one, but still it sort of suits

link - Michael Jackson...

In honor of Mothers’ Day, I decided to do an makala ranking my inayopendelewa Disney Princess mothers… I know it’s a bit late, but I wanted to make sure I had it worded perfectly! I didn’t include Evil Queen, Lady Tremaine, and Mother Gothel because they are not the biological mothers of the princesses… and I thought it would be fairly obvious where they’d rank. Some of my opinions are going to be quite unpopular, but I hope we can agree to politely disagree.


7. Queen Elinor

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I really dislike Elinor. While I do believe she loves...

READ THIS FIRST
Before wewe read the lyrics, wewe should know that I'm doing this from the male perspective because I myself am a guy. Also, originally I had lyrics from Demi Lovato's version but I decided to hariri those out and some parts that are a little wordy. Help with the wordy lyrics was done kwa kristenfan10109. I hope wewe enjoy it!

The moon glows bright on the ocean tonight
Not a footprint in the sand
A whole world of isolation,
And it looks like I'm the king.

The waves are calm unlike this emotional storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried!

Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be...

Yesterday I wrote an makala about my inayopendelewa song from each DP Movie, today I'm doing an makala about my inayopendelewa song scene from each DP Movie, the only requirement for this was that the song in the scene has to mainly be sung kwa a character from the movie (this rule doesn't apply to Brave), also the song scene can of course have two songs in the scene

Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs - With A Smile And A Song

This movie has many great song scenes, it was actually a bit hard to pick a favorite, but this one is currently my favorite, first of all it has one my inayopendelewa songs from the...

It's been a while since I last wrote this orodha so I decided to write it again, it's been changing a slight bit since the last time, anyway hope you'll like this article

13. Aurora

I really upendo Aurora and I do think she's brave, just not as much as the other princesses above. Her bravest moment is when she chooses to leave the cottage with the vichimbakazi instead of staying there and waiting for Phillip

12. Jasmine

I placed jimmy, hunitumia higher than Aurora because jimmy, hunitumia is outspoken which makes her a slight bit zaidi brave, but like Aurora she doesn't actually have a lot of brave moments. Her...
