Walt Дисней Character Описание of Золушка from "Cinderella" (1950)

The character of Золушка was posed in live action by Helene Stanley who, to jugde by stills of her performance, was even еще beautiful than the screen Золушка - although she was brunette rather than blonde. In a 1982 interview with Kur Wiley, Marc Davis, largely responsible for animating Cinderella, compared the character with another of his "creations", Cruella De Vil:

"I think that Золушка would have to be the more...

Seventeen years after its first release, “The Lion King” is again No. 1 at the box office, wildly exceeding pre-release projections by pulling in an estimated $29.3 million.

A 3D re-release propelled the G-rated animated feature far beyond its expected $15 million take and well past the weekend’s three debuts -- all of which had disappointing starts.

The No. 2 movie of the weekend was a holdover from last week. The Warner Bros. PG-13 “Contagion" grossed a surprisingly strong $14.5 million -- almost $2 million еще than expected.

FilmDistrict's R-rated "Drive," which grossed an estimated...

Roger Ebert: **** (4 Stars)

Was there ever a scarier, еще exciting animated feature than "Pinocchio"? I doubt it - at least not if Ты were between the ages of 5 and 10 when Ты saw it, and could identify with its blockheaded little hero.

I remember seeing "Pinocchio" for the first...

Walt Дисней Character Описание of Princess жасмин from "Aladdin" (1992)

Mark Henn, who created the look of жасмин for the movie, had various inspirations. One was a theme-park guest at Дисней World in Florida, whose long thick mane of black hair sparked off an idea. The most important, however, was his sister Beth - although an actress called Robina Ritchie did live-action modeling to help the animation. Linda Larkin, who gave жасмин her speaking voice, and Lea Salonga, who sang for her, looks...

Character Описание of Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" (1991)

It was decided early that the movie's heroine should display a lot еще spirit than the somewhat passive virtue of the character in the original fairy tale. The liveaction performance for the animators' reference was supplied by Sherri Stoner, the actress who had not long before served the same funtion so very excellently for The Little Mermaid's Ariel, another feisty female part. Belle's part was spoken and sung by Paige O'Hara, a...
