How can wewe say this little girl is ugly?

How can you say this little girl is ugly?

I don't like judgy people very much, because I used to be bullied. (I wear different clothes and dream to much) This is also why I adore different people. Merida is in my juu 5 orodha of all the Disney princesses, and I've heard a lot of people saying they don't like her, so I decided to write this makala about her, since I find her beautiful and interesting.
This is why I think she's so disliked:

1. People hate her looks!! They say she's ugly. Which I don't really get, because she has long red hair and blue eyes. -Cough, a bit like Ariel, cough.-

2. They don't like the story. I've also seen somewhere, that the story is just too different. Well, to tell the truth, I do like Disney sinema with romance in them more, but even though Brave was lacking love, it had a certain magic to it.

3. They dislike what she did to her mother. Yes, it was cruel and yes Merida may have overreacted a little. But she didn't know what would happen to her mom when she wished for her to change. But what if wewe had to marry somebody even though wewe just weren't ready? What would wewe do? Princess Merida is just plain misunderstood.

FloraorStella and MalloMar like this

snowsowhite You are right, I used to don't like her, but when I saw Brave again I just found her amazing, even when, withought knowing it she made her mother a bear, she didn't give up, she went with her moither until the end and she didn't left anyone do anything to her mother, she was amazing! I think she is starting to bacame my fave! She was strong and brave until the end and learned from her mistake and in one moment in her film she says "Yes, I've been selfish" and she was ready to marry afterwards for her mother, but then she and her mother understand and tell us that we all have to follow our hearts and we have to change our fates! Thanks for your article it's amazing!

CaiWonderlander Wow, thank you. I'm glad I proved my point. :))

snowsowhite I am glad too for finding this article! It's amazing! I love it!

Angelica_AW [url=http://browse.deviantart.com/art/The-Big-Four-358886171]This[/url] pretty much sums up my feelings. But, then again, I haven't seen the movie yet. So....

CaiWonderlander It's great. I think you'll love it if you love fairy tales from all around the world. :)

Angelica_AW I don't know. From what I know of Merida, she's leaving a bad taste in my mouth. But I'm still planning to watch the movie one day.

CaiWonderlander Your opinion. I find Merida lovely in so many ways.

snowsowhite She is amazing! And her movie is one of my faves! In my opinion everyone have to see this movie, it's amazing!

princecatcher93 And other reason people don't like her is because she a copy of Ariel Even those I still don't like her (I don't think I ever will) your article was great.

LupinPrincess I think the only time I started to dislike her was when her fans started to dis the other princesses and put her on a pedestal...she's no better or worse....her being selfish in the movie was the story so I'd like to say that I like her personality best at the end when she picks up her own shit....other than that I love her! I'm practically obsessed!

MalloMar Thanks for sharing. I also find her beautiful and interesting!

mhs1025 They also say she's PIXAR. (Which she is) SOME of the nimrods on here need to realize PIXAR IS Disney. I get so tired of them saying it's not!

Swanpride PIXAR might be Disney, but it is NOT the animation studios. I don't think that what Merida did is really defendable. because if the poison had worked like she wanted, she would have altered the mind of her mother, which is a really horrible thing to do. Never mind her gleeful reaction when her own mother is in pain.

snowsowhite Sometimes, after an argument with parents people are agry, they don't understnd what they are doing and after any argument do you think that a person who is angry will think iit a lot, for example after a break up, most people eat a lot of sweets, they have think that they might become fat? No, that's how Merida did all this, without thinking it, but when she understood it she was always there for her mother, that was her sorry and believe me other persons would not have her bravety! I also prefered romances, but that story, Merida's story was special, PIXAR or Disney, I don't see any difference, Merida is special and I don't dislike her because she is like Ariel, come on! Ariel is girly and Merida tomboyisl, they have a lt of differences! But they both break tradition and that makes them special!

mhs1025 To Swanpride-I know they're alittle different, but people have to remember they're still apart of the Disney family.

Jessikaroo I think the issue really is that Merida is a tradition breaker through and through. Most people are fans of the DP's for specific reasons, they come to them to get their fill on romance, happy endings, femininity, dreams come true, and fairy tales. Whether we like it or not, each DP follows these guidelines. Even Pocahontas had romance and a fairy tale feel. Mulan even had magic and femininity in it, since the movie really is about finding a balance between masculine and feminine energy. Since Merida doesn't have a romance, isn't that feminine, and her story isn't really the typical fairy tale, plus she doesn't sing, it makes sense that most fans wouldn't like her.

Uma1244546 I like her. She isn't ugly, well, if she had log eyelashes, she will be even prettier than some of other princesses, like Briar Rose, Snow, Cinderella. I like her behavior, she's OK.

Sparklefairy375 1. Peoples though she was ugly because she has different design compared to other princesses. Which makes sense as she's Pixar not Disney. Oh, and she's not ugly at all! They keep said that she's ugly because of her curly redhead. But she's actually cute looking. 2. Some peoples have an issue about her story, what's the problem with a Princess movie without any romance and lack of magic and fantasy, but more focused with family love instead of find a prince charming as true love? 3. Yes, Merida is just misunderstood. She was sort of overreacting but she later change! Why she was bashed for what she did, instead Ariel who did the same like her (and isn't change at all!) was praised instead. I don't get it

wavesurf I don't agree with #1. Merida isn't ugly, and people need to stop with saying that. I don't agree with #2. We now have plenty of princesses who don't have princes. This is not "novel" anymore. Why do we think Merida is special for belonging in this category? It's not a special designation, now that so many princesses don't have male partners. I agree with #3. Merida is disliked because Merida is MEAN. Mean is a word that doesn't really come to mind when I think of a Disney Princess. But the word "mean" is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Merida. Haters accuse Ariel of selfishness, neglecting her family, and not ever learning a lesson at all... while Merida is put up on this "change pedestal" because "she changes, and Ariel does not." I don't buy Merida's change at all,because it just doesn't exist in the movie. The people who think that Merida is so much better than Ariel are always going to be "mean," just like Merida is mean. During a debate, they stoop very low, and attack my personal characteristics, just like Merida attacked Elinor's personal characteristics, and then tried to sabotage the whole situation by controlling Elinor's mind. Merida is only quasi-likable. That's about it.

My Ranking of Disney Prince

posted by anukriti2409

Here's my ranking of Disney Prince, barring Prince Hans as he's the DP villain. Hope you'll find it entertaining.

11. Florian:
Apart from imba and inaonyesha courtesy and respect to a young maid of lower status, there's literally no interaction and no scenes to understand his personality. It was kind of creepy for me that he'd kiss a supposedly dead maiden. So yeah, he's the last in my list.

10. Naveen:
Spoiled rich brat who didn't even learn after plundering all the ancestoral wealth and thought of fixing it the easy way to find a rich girl to marry. Too flirtatious, too lazy, too laid-back...

Princess jimmy, hunitumia Trivia, Goofs & Plot Holes - credit to imdb

posted by PrincessAyeka12

I, myself only knew 7 out of 14. Who knows, wewe might know zaidi than me au know less than me. Either way enjoy kusoma and absorb the knowledge!

Trivia

1) Production designer Richard Vander Wende devised a simple color scheme for the film, inspired kwa its desert setting. Blue (water) stands for good, red (heat) for evil, and yellow (sand) is neutral. For example, the villainous Jafar is clad in blacks and reds, while the virtuous jimmy, hunitumia wears blue. Another example is in the Cave of Wonders, where the lamp's chamber is blue, and the ruby that tempts Abu is bright red.

2) jimmy, hunitumia was originally...

Rapunzel, anna, and ariel

Did wewe ever know that Elsa and Anna had a cousin? Well wewe do now! Elsa and Anna have a cousin and there cousin is Rapunzel. Never knew that? Now wewe know. Rapunzel is cousins with the sisters Elsa and Anna. Rapunzel seems like she forgot she had cousins. I am not sure about Elsa and Anna if they forgot they had a cousin. How are they cousins? Elsa and Anna's mom is the sister of Rapunzel's mom. Now they are Cousins. Another weird thing. Both shows are created kwa the same person. I never knew they were cousins till I saw a YouTube onyesha that alisema they were cousins. Another weird thing. Ariel...

inayopendelewa DP Parents Countdown

Honorary Mention: Cinderella's Father

Okay so I basically grew up without parents in a large sense. That being said, I always yearned for a loving, stable and consistent mother and father to teach morals, values, effective and constructive communication, consequences for actions, real love, respect, trust, honor, etc. Since Walt Disney founded the company under those family and character-based values, I have always been very attached to the Disney brand. That being said, I was thinking about the Disney Princesses' parents and if I could have traded my childhood situation with one of them, which would it be? Since I also upendo lists...

Most Beautiful Things from Each DP sinema

posted by Sparklefairy375

From anukriti2409 and sweetie-94's makala about most beautiful things from DP movies, I was inspired to make one. But my version is a little different: this one is most beautiful things from each DP movies, from the first until the latest ones. Well, hope you'll be enjoyed my makala and sorry for mistakes I may be made.

1. The Ending (Snow White and Seven Dwarfs)

The scene of Snow White's movie ending (credit to image from sweetie-94's article).

The movie isn't really my favorite, so it's kinda hard for me to decide the beautiful things from that. It was while Snow White and her Prince...

Belle: A Character Review

posted by laylastepford

My entire life, Belle has always been my absolute inayopendelewa princess. When I was just a toddler I dressed up like her for Halloween and when I got married, I even tried to find a dress that resembled her yellow kanzu, gown (in white, of course).

In so many ways, Belle reminds me of myself. As someone who relates so closely to and identifies with Belle, I wanted to share my well-detailed analysis of her character. I believe we all know our inayopendelewa characters the best so I would encourage others to write an makala about their inayopendelewa princess. I hope that this will help others understand Belle a little...

My inayopendelewa DP Non-Ball Gown/Ceremonial Outfits Countdown!

posted by laylastepford

The Disney Princesses wear some of the cutest little outfits, both inside and outside of ceremonies and balls, so I wanted to do a fun and light-hearted ranking of all of their outfits! (I will be doing a sekunde countdown with the ceremonial outfits and ball gowns ranked.) I ranked them based on which I'd like to wear most:

Peasant/Work Outfits:

7. Snow White's Brown "Servant's" Outfit: For something that is made to look incredibly unflattering, it's actually not that bad. Aside from being torn and having different-colored patches, it's really just a plain dress.

6. Tiana's Blue Work Uniform:...

"Favorite Princesses" According to DPs:

posted by laylastepford

As some of wewe may know, I recently did my version of a "Prettiest Princess" makala which rated the ujumla, jumla attraction of each princess. That makala was done with a heavy bias towards what males like best about females so I wanted to make one with the bias towards what females like (in friends). What females look for in Marafiki will of course vary kwa personality so I decided to use the Disney Princesses as the model for my female scale. I made a ranking orodha for each of them (of course, it is subject to my opinion of their rankings) and then combined all 13 lists to see how they'd rate each...

Okay so I know I got off on the wrong foot here with some users so I wanted to give a peace offering (to those who want it) kwa telling about myself so others will get the chance to understand me and see where I am coming from. This is my attempt to:
1) Formally apologize: To those who I Lost my temper with, I sincerely apologize for the way I conducted myself. I truly did not come here to start arguments but to get the opinions of others. I humbly ask that wewe forgive my passionate responses and know that I promise to work on not losing my temper. No matter how threatened au attacked that I...

Merida Defense

posted by reflection11

It is quite obvious that Merida is not particularly beloved on this spot. Placing last place in just about every countdown done recently, and probably in many to come, Merida needs zaidi love. I used to hate Merida, so I totally understand why people dislike her, but I can't help but wonder why she is hated on, yet people fall in upendo with Ariel and Jasmine. Oh, I am not going to hate on Ariel au jimmy, hunitumia in this article, they are both in my juu 5. Merida is currently fourth on my list, inches ahead of Jasmine, and inches behind Cinderella.
Why I used to hate her:

The Power Of Friendship 2: Happily Ever After (Chapter 28)

posted by mhs1025

The gang was walking back to the cottage when a kichaka popped up in front of them. Mulan gasped at what she saw growing on it. She hurried to the plant. "You guys have to see this!" she exclaimed. The others rallied around. The reactions were mixed. Shang felt his nerves dance a bit, Pocahontas theorized, and John and Merida exchanged scowls. "Cherries?" Merida said. "Mulan, I get wewe have very valuable things and traditions where wewe come from, but it's just a fruit." John replied. "Just a fruit? John, these are delicate." Mulan stated.

"Mulan, it's not like glass where wewe throw it and it breaks."...
