Hello everyone! I'm Veronica (a.k.a. ApplesauceDoctr :D), and hey, it's been a little while since I've written an article. It feels good to get back into the spirit of writing. :D
So, what have I today? As Ты can see, I'll be analyzing the song "Reflection" from Disney's Mulan. I made a lyric video for it about a week назад and realized just how deep the song is! However, in this analysis, I'll also be taking a look at the extended version of the song. It shows a different side of Мулан that...well, you'll see soon enough.

Alright then! Let's take a listen to Reflection!

Movie Version

Look...

Since Мулан is princess of the month, here some thoughts about which цветок fits her the best. The movie, after all, offers some choices. The most obvious one is the magnolia, since that’s the translation of the name Mulan.

Then there is the white цветок Мулан wears in her hair when she meets the matchmaker – the same цветок she leaves behind when she goes to war. I’m not sure what kind of цветок that’s suppose to be. I first considered lotus (since the lotus is such a reveled цветок in Asia and gets often connected to the gods), but a lotus has еще petals. A white вишня blossom...

Aladdin: So here we were, early 1990's, and the Дисней Renaissance was at its peek. The studios had produced two of the highest grossing animated films of all time and still were pushing on. However the team suffered a tragic loss with the death of lyricist Howard Ashman who surprisingly had had a large amount of creative input on the Назад two films. (He named Ariel) It was even his idea to make the Далее Дисней animated feature, Aladdin released on November 25, 1992. However, much to the disappointment of many, this would be the last picture to showcase a royal fairytale princess for the...

While the Princess Party line of DVD's had the goal of accompanying Дисней Princess-themed parties, the Princess Stories line has the much еще general purpose of serving as everyday entertainment for young girls everywhere. As a result, there's a significant dip in quality from the Party line to the Stories line. We're going to take and look and see just how bad that decline is!

DVD Content
Just like in my last review, I'll go over all of the categories of the DVD one at a time. But first, it's necessary to talk about the presentation. When Ты first pop in the disk, you're shown a young girl's...

Hello, I'm PrueFever, a 32 years old guy from Denmark and a Major Дисней Fan! My all-time Избранное Дисней Movie is The Little Mermaid, Walt Disney's 28th full-lenght animated classic from 1989. I just Любовь all the characters in the movie, the songs, the score and the animation. I grew up with Mermaid, it was the first Дисней Movie I saw, so there's definitely nostalgic reasons as well, I'm not gonna deny that! I can always watch the movie and my mood goes up 100%! It never fails to amaze me. Also, the voice actors in this movie is spetacular! Jodi Benson is great as Ariel and even greater as...

This was originally going to be a part 2. But after seeing laylastepford's version of my format, I wanted to tidy my original version up a bit. Also in Письмо my original I missed a few favourites out as well as a few subjects. So this is the Updated and Improved version. The other version will deleted once this is posted. So remember to update your Ссылки if you've linked the original. This one is еще detailed than the other one and a little longer. I've added a sentence in "about me" that's different.

Behind the Screen name: Princess Ayeka is a character from Tenchi Muyo an Аниме tv series....

Okay so some of Ты might have read link. At the time, it seemed to me like there was a group of very intolerant users who would only be offended if I wrote such an article. (Weird, I know, since many people write this Статья but I still didn't want the tension или drama.) Since I wasn't sure how to write a "physically beautiful" Список without offending anyone, I didn't write that Статья and wrote one that I thought had better ideals: an в общем и целом, общая attraction with looks, personality and demeanor combined. That being said, I do Любовь the fairy tale versions of Princesses who were always the "most...

So I never really got to experience much of fashion-culture growing up and have just recently begun to give it any focus или attention. I have heard of the rule that "Redheads shouldn't wear pink." and I have seen some people discuss this here on FanPop in terms of Ariel and her розовый dress. I have also read many Комментарии debating Aurora's famous "Blue vs. розовый Dress". In those discussions, I heard a talented user on this site, link say things like "She's a Winter." etc. I thought that was so fascinating! I had never heard of this concept before so I decided to look into it. That is how I came...

So yesterday I wrote about my Избранное songs, today I'll write about the 10 best scenes, originally I was planning on only doing a вверх 5, but I felt that it was too little so I decided to do a вверх 10 list, like with the songs I Любовь all the scenes in the movie so placing them wasn't so easy, but I hope you'll like this Статья anyway

10. The Funeral Scene

This scene is so sad yet so beautifully animated and I couldn't resist putting this one on here since I Остаться в живых my grandmother just a few days ago, but even before that this has been one of the most beautiful scenes in the movie aswell as...

We all know the step-sister from Золушка that ends up reforming in the sequels. However, many people seem to have criticisms about her because they feel that she shouldn't have been forgiven by Cinderella, there was nothing to Показать that she deserved to be redeemed, and that it's ridiculous that she got to be redeemed but Drizella didn't. First of all, I think I need to explain where this idea of Анастасия reforming came from. In the original Charles Perrault version of Cinderella, Cinderella's real name was actually Ella. When she became a servant she would sleep by the fireplace to keep...

Awhile ago, linkabout which Houses the Princesses would be in, and several of Ты requested that I do one about the princes as well. I’m pleased to announce that this is it!

But before I begin my analyses, it’s time for some disclaimers…

1. About the Houses. Here’s how I tend to think of the Houses of Hogwarts. (Note: I will be saying the most about Slytherin, since Slytherin is most often distorted.)

Gryffindor: values bravery, daring, bold decision-making, rule-breaking, following one’s dreams, standing up for one’s friends, and being в общем и целом, общая “fun”/pleasant/courageous.

Slytherin...

Alright, this is going to contain critical and possibly controversial opinions about Холодное сердце and Tangled, as well as other things, so if Ты can't stand to hear these Фильмы badmouthed I'd suggest that Ты skip this article. Now that you've been suitably warned, on with the article!

MARKETING

The first that Ты see of new Дисней characters is almost always through promotional rendered images, so that's where we are going to start in this dissection of Disney's character design.

To begin, let's look at some of the earlier promotional art of Elsa and Anna:...

For my first article, I decided to start with a light, fluffy topic! Kidding, of course, but I think this is a rather crucial topic that needs to be discussed. Something to keep in mind before Чтение this article, I'm a Фан of Frozen, I'm a Фан of the Дисней Princesses, and I'm without a doubt a Фан of Disney! Ты can be a Фан of something and still criticize it (Spoiler alert for the article? Ah well..) Anyway, onto the article!

First things first let's discuss the racial makeup of Frozen's setting. Oh WAIT, we can't because Холодное сердце takes place in a fictional land! That's something that seems...

When I Комментарий on one pick and other Фаны wonder why I say so, it inspires me to make an Статья to explain еще in the best way. I find a lot similarities of Elsa with Periwinkle (Secret of the Wings), Ralph and Vanellope (Wreck-it Ralph), Zarina (The Pirate Fairy), and Maleficent (Maleficent).


Similarities between Periwinkle & Elsa:
- Both have ice power
- Both ice are spreading quickly like огонь (okay, not definitely Periwinkle's ice but ice from Periwinkle's place)
- Both have white hairs, или whatever platinum blonde which looks...

Third Статья in three days? I have a life..heh...heh..ANYWAYS, I've heard multiple times people calling Elsa complex, but they usually don't give an argument to back that up, so I decided to write this! I've also heard a lot of complaints from Холодное сердце haters asking how Elsa is so complex, so I'm Письмо this for that as well. Anyway let's get started! I hope Ты enjoy! :)

Characteristics of a Complex Character (gotten online):

1. He или she undergoes an important change as the plot unfolds.

2. The changes he или she experiences occur because of his или her actions или experiences in the story.

3. Changes...

You'll notice that characters created around the same time as each other tend to share traits that are Популярное at the time или big with the artist/director/etc who works with them.

However, I'm not here to talk about personalities. Those have already been covered by many interesting authors who explore the topics far еще effectively than I could. What I want to talk about is common overarching themes I have noticed in each generation of princesses.

Classic Princesses

A common theme with the first three Дисней princesses (Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora) I think is maintaining hope and optimism...

It is Mothers день so I did a countdown Опрос for the best DP Mother. I am a little tired but want to finish this tonight so I am not going to get as detailed as I wanted. Let us get started with the worst Mother.

#13 Queen Grimmhilde

Snow Whites Step mother was a horrible woman who most likely killed her husband, was standoffish and uppity to her step-daughter, and eventually went from ignoring the child to wanting her dead when the girl became too "pretty".

"Definitely! At least Tremaine and Gothel has no plans to kill their stepdaughters. Plus she treated Snow White as a rat, dress her like...

[i]I finally decided to do this, has changed a little bit since I did the pick about it, but I hope you'll enjoy this Статья and don't forget to comment![i]

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:

Since this is my Избранное DP movie I'm always having it hard to choose my Избранное scene in the movie so my Избранное changes often, so right now my Избранное is when Snow White finds the dwarf's cottage, especially because of the music, it happens to be my Избранное score in the movie. I don't know what else to say, it's in my opinion one of the best drawn animated scene that I've seen, only the ending...

I have to say, I’m tired of all this talk that the Дисней Princesses are not feminist enough. Hearing some of the arguments against them, I come to the conclusion that the only female protagonist the complainers would accept has to be single, career oriented, perfect in every situation and being able to defeat every villain with a hand wave. This idea that the perfect female role model has to be Виктория-победительница in every situation and being able to handle everything herself terrifies me much еще than beauty standards the Дисней Princesses represents. Because, when it comes down to it, we all know...

this is the hottest prince rankings Статья blah blah thanks to CuteDiana for the Обои and ppgbelle4 for being awesome and listing them :)


10.Prince Charming
I think Charming's problem is that nothing about him looks natural. His hair looks painted on, his nose is too small, his eyes are super tiny...but he does have a gorgeous smile. Poor Charming, no one ranked him above #5. Those who did certainly are marching to the beat of their own dumb! I mean drum. ....:D
