And the shabiki of the mwezi of August is... PrueFever! Yaaaaaay! Congratulations, wewe deserved it. Now, the questions.
Congratulations on being the shabiki of the mwezi of August 2014! How do wewe feel about it?
Great, really great! But also a little bit weird. I’ve been on fanpop since 2011, so I’m definitely one of the ”old” users here on Fanpop. But I think the reason I haven’t been shabiki of the mwezi is because I haven’t been that active on the DP Spot in some time, so a lot of Fanpoppers didn’t know about me. But then I started to pakia some Screencaps and that got me some new Marafiki and then it earned me some nominations for FotM and I won the Countdown for August. So yeah, it feels great.
How long have wewe been an active member of the DP club?
Oh, jolly gosh... That’s a tough question... I’m sorry, but I have a terrible memory when it comes to remembering certain things and this is one of those things. (Laughs) But I’d say I’ve been an active member on the DP Spot for about 4 years. It was one of the klabu I first joined, alongside The Little Mermaid Spot and the Disney Villains Spot.
How did wewe discover Fanpop?
I discovered fanpop in January 2011. I remember looking on the Internet for Screencaptures from The Little Mermaid. I found a lot of those on the Mermaid Spot and then I checked the kura za maoni and I really liked those. But I couldn’t vote in them since I wasn’t a member of the site yet. So I signed up for a membership and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I made in my life. I’m hooked as much now as I was when I signed in for the first time. There are just so many cool things wewe can do on Fanpop. And the best thing is that it’s completely free!
Who is your favourite Disney Princess, and why? And your least favourite?
My inayopendelewa Disney Princess is Princess Ariel from ”The Little Mermaid”. She’s a rulebreaker, troublemaker, Prince-marrier and just naive enough to be cute. I just upendo her adventurious side and her bubbly personality. She chased her dreams to the very end. It meant putting her own life in danger, but she wouldn't stop until she was with the one she loved. But I think my upendo for Ariel has a lot to with the fact that Mermaid was the very first Disney Movie I saw. Nostalgia definitely plays a huge part in my upendo for Ariel.
Least inayopendelewa Disney Princess is Rapunzel. I really can’t stand her. Sure, she’s beautiful animated and she’s... She’s... Erh, just not my cup of tea, let’s put it that way. She’s just way too modern for my taste. I just don’t understand why all the animated sinema these days have to act all street-wise? Everything has to be Shrek and so funny. I mean, Rapunzel uses a frying pan as a weapon. ”Haha, that’s so funny!” some might say, but not me. I remember seeing Tangled in the cinema with my friends. One of my Marafiki were laughing so hard and he LOVED Maximus! And again, I just don’t get it... A horse uigizaji like a dog! Gets on my nerves every time I watch the movie.
I like Pascal, he was cute but Maximus is just plain annoying. I think Disney took it too far with that.
Who is your inayopendelewa Disney Prince? And your least favourite?
Hmm, good questions. inayopendelewa Disney Prince... Has to be either The Prince, Prince Charming au The Beast/Prince Adam. I really like how romantic The Prince and Charming are. Prince Phillip included. And I upendo the transformation in The Beast, from an angry and grumpy guy to a romantic, sensetive guy.
Least inayopendelewa Prince is Flynn Rider, again from my least inayopendelewa DP Movie Tangled. Thinks highly of himself, way too modern, the smoulder... Not a fan!
Which princess have wewe started liking zaidi than before, and why?
Cinderella. When I was a kid, it was all about Ariel, jimmy, hunitumia and Pocahontas. Then when I started to collect Disney sinema on DVD and cinderella arrived in October 2005, something changed. I saw the movie and fell in upendo with it completely. The characters, the story, the music. It was like I saw it for the first time. I had probably seen the movie when I grew up but it didn’t catch me like it did back in 2005. The same thing had happend with Bambi and Lady and the Tramp. When they got released on DVD, I saw them in a whole new light. Part of growing up, I guess. So yeah, cinderella has grown on me... A lot!
What is your favourite DP song?
Has to be either A Whole New World from Aladin au Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas. I just upendo both songs so much. They’re just pure Disney Magic. I get shivers every time I hear them.
What is your inayopendelewa Disney Princess movie? And your favourite scene?
inayopendelewa Disney Princess Movie is The Little Mermaid. It was the first cartoon I remember seeing when I was a little boy. I remember being completely mesmerized kwa it! It just blew me away! I was so fascinated kwa the songs, the characters, the story, all of it! And my upendo for the film is still as strong as ever! I will always upendo The Little Mermaid and Disney. It has always meant a lot to me and my family. My dad always used to take me and my sisters to the local store and buy the latest Disney Film on VHS and then we went home, he made us chajio, chakula cha jioni and in the evening we all sat down and watched the Disney Movie. I loved it. Also, every week when we got our allowance, I used to run down to the local Book Store and buy these little Disney Characters Figurines. I was obsessed! (Laughs). Also I've been to Disneyland Resort Paris twice. First was in September 2003 and the sekunde time was June 2010. And this year, I went to Walt Disney World in Florida with my little sister Joan. It's was great!
inayopendelewa Scene from Mermaid is Crash the Wedding. wewe know, when Scuttle and his army of animal Marafiki attack Ursula, disguised as Vanessa, from marrying Eric. Vanessa is so beautiful and I just upendo the way the wanyama attack her, I bet the animators had a lot of fun with this scene. A beautiful woman getting attacked like this. But also, it's a very important scene in the movie as Ariel and Eric doesn't get to kiss in time and Ursula wins.
What is your inayopendelewa non-Princess Disney movie?
Goodness gracious, that is a tough one! I’m a Disney Dude, so I really upendo most of them. But Pinocchio, Bambi and Lady and the Tramp comes to mind first. And if I have to pick just one movie, it would be Pinocchio. That movie has it all. Great animation, great songs and a beautiful score. Voices are Top-Notch as well.
Which princess do wewe think is the most unique?
Oh, Princess Merida from “Brave”. I like the fact that she doesn’t end up with a Prince. And the fact that she’s the first Disney•Pixar Princess. That’s what makes her unique in my eyes.
Which princess do wewe relate to the most, and why?
Belle. She’s the odd one in her hometown. I was the odd kid in my school. Socially awkward. I was never one of ’the cool kids’. I had a few Marafiki and that was it. I never went to birthday parties au parties in general. So I’d have to say I relate to Belle the most. But also a lot of Ariel as I like to collect all kinds of Disney Junk. Posters, figurines, books, movies, panya, kipanya pads, mugs, plates, computer mouse, magazines, cards... A lot of Disney Stuff. So a little like Ariel as well.
Is there any Disney heroine wewe wish was considered an official DP?
Megara from Hercules. Because I upendo her. She’s a great Disney Character. And really beautiful. Also I think she has a great personality and if she was added into the DP Lineup, Hercules would recieve zaidi love.
What fairy tale would wewe like to see Disney turn into a movie next?
Hmm, a new version of the Rapunzel fairy tale that’s not so Shrek-like? (Laughs) au maybe Anastasia so we finally can end the ”Anastasia-is-not-a-Disney-Movie” once and for all.
You’re the first of the DP Users to earn a Purple Legendary shabiki Medal for all your work in the Walt Disney Characters Spot. Congratulations. How did that make wewe feel when wewe saw it?
Thank you. I was Over the Moon at first! And it's funny, because a week au so before I got the Purple Medal, I had my 30th Birthday and when I logged on that day, I saw I had earned a machungwa, chungwa Super shabiki Medal in the WDC Spot. And that was so great. I felt like it was a Birthday Present from Fanpop. And then, suddenly I got this Purple Medal. And I'm like "Whoa, time out! What just happend here..?" I just couldn't believe it! But after I read a reply on the fanpop Page where the user KateKicksAss says the following:
"They're just virtual profaili decoration! I mean, sure it might be fun to have some, but overall, they really don't affect your fanpop experience."
And I realized, she was right! They are just Virtual profaili Decoration, but they are also great to have. For me, they onyesha my affection for certain things, things I really like and care about, something that means a lot to me, personally!
Finally, why did wewe make the Walt Disney Characters Spot? What's the story behind it?
Well, it's a funny story behind this. So 3 years ago, I ilitumwa a kura ya maoni in the DP Spot, that read:
”In the Screencaptures Section under Gallery, is it okay to post nyara of other Disney Characters than the Disney Princesses?”
68% voted on “This is the Disney Princess shabiki Club! Only the Princesses!” and maoni like ”No. There are a million Disney au Disney related klabu on Fanpop. Post it there!” and ”Forget it!” made me realize that the DP Spot was only for the DP Screencaps and not the place to post nyara from The Lion King au Bambi. So I though to myself: ”Okay, then I just have to make a Disney Club for my own where I can post the Screencaptures I desire” So I came up the name Walt Disney Characters and started to post DVD Screencapture from Mermaid, Bambi, Pinocchio and the other Disney Classics. Since then I have been deleting all those old DVD Screencaps and replaced them with HD Blu-Ray Screencaps instead. So there wewe have it.

I was thinking about the fact that Middle-Eastern and Indian royalty back in the days would have what is called a harem. Jasmine's dad as far as we know doesn't have one. If Jasmine's dad had one it would be very likely she would have had shared living quarters with her steps and half-sisters and maybe aunts.
I think if jimmy, hunitumia had grown up in a harem she would been complete different and be 1)competitive and 2)she would also be Vigilant due to the number of X times she had been poison-if on purpose au kwa accident kwa the steps.
of course there's the fact Jafar could somehow 'use' her steps to get closer to her. So maybe that's one of the reasons why they didn't have a harem.
