Best Animation in a DP movie (Voted by Fanpop)

posted by princecatcher93

So of the comments from that Great Wall countdown.

This was amazing drama free countdown. Everyone was happy every single round and were happy with the results. Oh wait I'm sorry, I was talking about my Best Brick in the Great Wall of China countdown...Here we go

11: The Little Mermaid
I was sad For once to see this film leave so early. And I'll tell you why in two words...The Bubbles. It had amazing animation second Best in it's Era...sadly not everyone else like it that much.
Comment
"The animation is kind of dull in TLM. Except maybe for some things that pops out But,the other animations for the other movies are better." egyptprincess7 picked

"Overall, the color scheme in TLM Is very bland compared to the others, it still has some of that sketchy look from the Xerography (though minorly), and it simply does not stand out as the others. It is very dull compared to the others in the animation department." Jayden-G

10: Aladdin
This film of it's Era I think has the worst of the animation maybe because it came out during the beginning of more CGI in movies...but besides that none else really popped. Besides the guy's nose at the beginning of the film
Comments
"It's definitely consistent and pretty. But I don't think the best animation scenes in Aladdin are more ''impressive'' than in the other DP movies." dimitri_

9: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
This placement I think this movie earned for coming out over 75 years ago it still has some AMAZING Animation better then a lot of other films. But sadly it isn't aging that well. I hope for it's 100th Birthday, Disney restores it to it's true beauty once again.
Comments
"The movements in this film are way too sharp and choppy. It is not as fluid in the character animations. While the animation is over 75 years old, it is the worst, as you can still see edgy mistakes and the differences in the cells. Just being honest." Jayden-G
"SWatSD is put in a disadvantage." dimitri_

8: Beauty and the Beast
I was sad to see this film go out also Yes I know I voted for it but I needed help from I.D.K.. It's beautiful but after watching it again I could see the parts were the animation wasn't to hot.
Comments
"The most inconsistent" dclairmont
"If they'd been given more time I'm sure it would have been FANTASTIC, but as it is it's a bit inconsistent. Also I just prefer the others." MacytheStrange
"Very inconsistent. I mean.. Belle's face practically changes everytime.. o-o."CRaZy_rawR

7: Cinderella
This animation is beautiful for it's age just like SWatSD but everyone sad the only good part in the Dress. They forgot about Sing Sweet Nightingale.
Comments
" Why is it taking so long for this to get out? It has nothing special but the dress transformation scene." disneygirl7
"It is very pretty! I like it a lot, but it isn't quite as unique as Mulan and Sleeping Beauty, or as detailed as Brave." MalloMar

6: Mulan
I personally would put Mulan lower, but that's just me. It's okay in animated for VERY flawed a many points. The good parts are any part with fire.
Comments
"I appreciate the style atheistic of Mulan, as they were going for a traditional painting look, but the animation was pretty flat." goldenivy
"Mulan has GORGEOUS animation, it has a painting like style to it, but out of this list I'd say Mulan. " prussiaducky

5: Brave
Is has amazing animation but sadly the characters and the setting don't always mix which makes it look a little cheesy also the characters don't look that hot all the time.
Comments
"The characters can look very unrealistic in some scenes." goldenivy
"If Brave gets out I'm gonna FLIP!!! The animation is by far the most BEAUTIFUL" prussiaducky

4: Sleeping Beauty
The Queen of the Animation has been taken down from her throne *Cues Belt* Dah, Dah, DAHHH. After I watch Sleeping Beauty a couple times I get mixed feels about the animation. At times I see it as the best, at others I see it as flawed. This time sadly I saw it as flawed. To many color changes.
Comments
"I really like its medieval style, but the others are better IMO" Shiki_Otherside
"I just find it to be very flat and boring. Some of the backgrounds are nice, but nothing extraordinary because they look as if they are not authentic. It is a quite plain background." ProllyPosh

3: Tangled
Props to you guys for putting this movie the ranking I give it for animation (it's tied with Frozen for me). This is were details of animation really come into play. I mean one of the times when Pascal wakes up Flynn, it you look in his eye you can see Rapunzel in it. Isn't that cool!?!
Comments
"Tough...Tangled has beautiful animation, but I just prefer the top 2 slightly!" dclairmont
"Tangled has great animation for CGI, super impressive lights and the way they aninated Rapunzel's hair is so realistically beautiful! I just think that they can make their characters look like plastic dolls" shanyuisboss

2: Pocahontas
I'm just like Pocahontas when it comes to this animation. I'm so what's the word...Oh well. It's beautiful at times but sadly can't compare to number one in fact none of them can IMO.
Comments
"I don't see what's so special about Pocahontas' animation, the colors are so boring." MissAngelPaws
"Pocahontas is so much more innovative and has such gorgeous colors! Everything seems to pop and jump off the screen, you don't even notice the lines, and it is just so creative!" rhythmicmagic

1: The Princess and the Frog
Has this film won anything on fanpop? It earned number one for best animation. has details that go out of this world (Watch Friends on the Otherside to understand). The Lighting, the water, the settings, everything it just perfect in it. Also when the evil shadows run past one of the house, they knock a light over, would the other films do that? I don't think so, that's why I'm happy this film won.
Comments
"They're both really good, but I think The Princess and the Frog is one of the best." Tygers_Eye
"PatF is superb!" GreatLance_30

So there you have it. Usually I would ask if you agree or disagree with this countdown results. But you guys made your points clear OH SO MANY TIMES!!! So disagree all you want in the comments. Rant you little hearts out. I'm going to go watch Downton Abbey and have a great time.

You guys = Sherlock. Me = Watson

Jayden-G, Tygers_Eye and 7 others like this

Silverrose1991 Great article! I always say that, but it is true. Nothing else to say.

MalloMar I don't think I participated enough to see the drama...except the first poll. And maybe the SB part. Anyway, that aside, I'm somewhat satisfied with the results. Thank you for using my comment!

PrueFever Still can't believe that Mermaid went out FIRST!!! :o O.M.G.!

dclairmont LOVE the top 5 and totally agree that The Little Mermaid deserved to go first! Anyway amazing article! I had a lot of fun participating! :3

JungleQueen13 I can't decide which one I think should be last, because I don't think any of them deserve it (the animation is at least decent in all of them). I don't agree with The Princess and the Frog winning, but admittedly it is nice to see it win for a change!

CRaZy_rawR It was a fun countdown to participate in (if you avoided the drama o-o) Thanks for usin y comment, doll! I agree with a lot except for number 1. PatF deserves the top five, but I don't think number one. Great countdown and article! And dat Aladdin remark doe. XD

prussiaducky *flips 10 million times all over the solar system* wHY IS BRAVE SO lowWW *dies from lack of oxygen* *gasp* qUACK ANYWAYS MUCH LOVE BUT WAT IS DIS LIST FANPOP BE CRAY

Tygers_Eye Very interesting countdown! I actually agree that I think it's sad The Little Mermaid got taken out first. I may not like Ariel, but I love everything else about the film. In fact, I LOVE the animation. I keep watching it time and time again because I love the way characters move, especially underwater. The way the merpeoples' hair sways underwater, the way the fish fins move, the way Ursula's tentacles curl and wriggle around, the way the eels swim so fluidly around her body, I could go on. It's a 2D movie, and yet the way characters move around makes you really feel like you're underwater. Oh well. I also agree about Aladdin's animation. After watching it again with a critical eye, I realized that in many parts of the film, the animation is really not that good. The singing portions are gorgeous, and some pivotal scenes like when Jasmine and Aladdin first spend time together without knowing who the other was, but in regular scenes it can get downright sloppy. And the CGI is terrible. (Animators REALLY need to learn that new =/= good.) Also agree about Mulan. Some parts are pretty, but overall I think it belongs lower on the list. Actually, if I comment on all of them I'll be here all night, but very interesting list. Great comments.

Jayden-G Well, the drama would not have started if someone just not participate or comment instead of bashing the countdown COUNTLESS times. This was ridiculous; the fact that people could not respect one another's decisions. We have done this countdown before (I have hosted it before) and NO ONE was complaining about it. I am sorry princecatcher93 for that, and the shade you threw at us was completely deserving. Can't stand it when people b**** and moan about the entire thing and at us when things don't go their way. I still stand by TLM being last, but I never said and it does NOT mean that the animation is bad. While I love PatF, I disagree with it winning, and Pocahontas should have been. I still think Aladdin gets a bit too much hate on the animation, but it is understandable. I am mixed on the list overall. If you want to do this countdown again, IGNORE the haters and do you. People's true colors was shown here.

rhythmicmagic ...I-I don't even know what to say...

MissAngelPaws I don't really agree with the results. I think TLM should've been higher and Sleeping Beauty and Pocahontas should've been lower. But still, it's a great article and thanks for using my comment c:

Swanpride Honestly - the result of the countdown, and in fact the whole way it went disappointed me. We did it before, and back then, most of the people participating (with one or two exceptions) seriously discussed the merits of each movie, if the introduction of CAPS and the impressive ballroom scene is enough to make up for the rushed animation Beauty and the Beast has otherwise, about the use of the empty space in Cinderella, if Tangled will age fast or not and if the water animation in The Little Mermaid makes up for the lack of detail in the land scene...in short, the objective merits and faults of every movie, and while the final judgement was slightly subjective, it is not comparable with the "but this movie is beautiful! And this one is dull!" this time around. All DP movies have outstanding animation. All look beautiful. None of them looks dull. And I got the distinct impression that this was more about pushing the favourite movie to the top (which currently seems to be everything modern...it used to be everything renaissance. I guess the demographic at the club has changed?). This is okay when we deal with an entirely subjective countdown, like "which one do I like best" - people like what they like. But this one shouldn't have been subjective, and it is very disappointing that it was nevertheless treated this way from the majority of the participants. Sorry, princecatcher93. It is great that you went through the work and did you best to keep this half-way civil.

Tygers_Eye To be honest, I was really surprised by the way a lot of people voted and commented this time around. I'll admit I was sick with the flu until the very last vote, which is why I only commented near the end. Seeing the results and reading some of the comments, though? ... Yeesh. Usually everyone is so good, but like Swanpride said, there was a lot of... incivility and subjectivity here. I was full on surprised by how rude so many people were being, as that's usually not like everyone. (At least not during the time I've been here.) The comments and votes themselves were also less critically examined and thought out. I personally love examining animation with a critical eye, and will talk down a film I love if I feel the animation could be better (like PatF or Sleeping Beauty having backgrounds too cluttered in my opinion) but most votes and comments here just seemed to be "I like it, I think it's pretty," or "I don't like it, I think it's dull." Well, why? Colors, contrasts, tints, shadows, lighting, shapes, movements, fluidity, consistency of quality throughout the film, detail, designs, overall style? I don't know. It's not my place to say since I didn't really participate till the very end (darn you Monster Flu!) but I'm kind of disappointed with how voters and commenters handled this countdown. I almost want to do a recount with my own countdown.

Jayden-G Do it if you want to. I know I had a part in the failure of fun in this countdown, but it was a colossal of many things. Some of the comments were definitely shallow, and there was a lot of "I am right, and you are wrong" going on, which led to conflict. I don't even know when things changed amongst this club. I hope this does not discourage anyone.

Swanpride @Tygers_Eye You know, that is a good point...I never really noticed it before, but the backgrounds of PatF are kind of cluttered. This might be intentional though, at least for the New Orleans scenes.

MacytheStrange Oops -- I missed this article it seems. Well, it was enjoyable to read, and I actually even sort of agree with the list. Thanks for using my comment!

The Artist's Definition: Cinderella

posted by MissCinico

I started this article "series" almost a year ago, but abandoned my fandoms for a while (very sorry to the people who were looking forward to it), but now I'm back and want to continue the articles (hopefully consistently), please enjoy!

If any of you are familiar with character stylization or really art in general you might like this article. I'm talking about character stylization in the sense that when the artist is also the author of the character's personality and has written out their every thought in simply the way they are designed. This can also be called "interpreted art" as anyone...

Scariest DP Villain Countdown Results!

posted by cruella

Here are the results of Countdown for The SCARIEST DP Villain. The list is a result of the countdown done by fans. I tried to include at least one comment from everyone, to let the fans show their opinions and I do apologize if I didn't include your's. I also added my own opinion to the descriptions, but it's just my opinion so feel free to disagree.

Enjoy!

11. Gov. Ratcliffe
I wasn't surprised to see Ratcliffe leave first. Personally I've never cared for him, he just seems like spoiled brat to me. But even his fans don't find him all that threatening.

He's more like Hans. They both are...

Best Blue DP Outfit Countdown Results!

posted by MaidofOrleans

Alright guys, this article's going to be one of the longer ones in this series, if not the longest. There are so many blue outfits among the DPs! I'm also really regretting not including the blue-green outfits in the green countdown instead of this one, because it ended up being so long, but oh well. I hope you enjoyed it anyway!

Top 10 Gender Swapped Disney Characters

posted by _Aurora

Belle and Beast - 'Beauty and the Beast'

1 Belle and Beast - 'Beauty and the Beast'

Sometimes it's the little details, like lady Lumiere in the background and dude!Belle's glasses in his pocket.

2 Cruella de Vil - '101 Dalmatians'

And sometimes it's just being uncomfortably attracted to one of the most evil people in the Disney lexicon.

3 Elsa - 'Frozen'

There would be no eternal winter with this smoking hot King on the Thorne.

4 Esmeralda - 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'

Did God help the outcasts get ripped? Because dayum.

Frozen & Brother Bear: A Sibling Love

posted by deedragongirl

Brotherly love

Hi guys, since I had compare both Titanic and Frozen. There is another movie that I notice that is similar to the latter, and that movie is Brother Bear.

Brother Bear

Apart from the sibling love, Kenai actually reminds me of Elsa, because like Elsa, he needs to have brotherly love with Koda. He was also mistakenly thought to be the same bear in his brother, Denahi's eyes that killed his 2 brothers and became vengeful until the ending scene when Kenai gets turn back into a human.
Koda is very much like Anna, because they're both optimistic. It wasn't until that he found out the truth that Kenai...

Gerard Butler as the Beast

A Blonde Haired Elvis?

Hi guys, since Beauty and the Beast will be coming next year in March. Here is my opinion and reason on why Gerard Butler should be the perfect beast, comparing him to Dan Stevens.

Gerard Butler

I watched the Phantom of the Opera a few weeks ago after not seeing it for many years, I always thought that it was Antonio Banderas playing the title character. But it did not sound like him at all!
So here is my reason why I think Gerard is the perfect beast, he nailed the character of the Phantom perfectly and he has a rock & roll quality in his voice! He also managed to play a very a sympathetic...

Why Do Some Modern Day Feminists Feel The Need To Slam Classic Disney Princesses?

posted by dclairmont

I know this is a touchy topic, so I've tried to tread it in the best way I could! It is not my intention to offend anyone or misrepresent this topic, so if I did I'd love to improve on it and fix my mistakes. I hope you enjoy reading!

For a group of people that claim to be supporting of all women and their ventures, the mistreatment that the classic princesses very often get from them is rather surprising. To a majority of feminists, the women they are catering to is the new-age, I can do it all superwoman. They believe that all women should fit into that box and if they don't, they're deprived,...

Other: The Disney Princesses & Others as Mushrooms in Plants vs. Zombies

posted by ApplesauceDoctr

Hi everyone, I'm ApplesauceDoctr here today with a short article that's purely for fun. A while back I posted a poll where I associated some of the mushrooms in the game Plants vs. Zombies with the DPs, and now I wanted to expand on that while also providing some brief reasoning for my choices. Note that I'll be generalizing these characters quite a bit here, mostly looking at just one quality. This is all in good fun though, so let's begin! I'm actually going to start off with an unofficial princess:

Disney Princess' Favourite Korean Dramas

posted by deedragongirl

Which is your favourite?

Since Korean entertainment has dominated the whole of Asia, here are the Disney Princesses' favourite Korean dramas and why they love it!

Iris (Mulan & Shang)

This Korean drama is about spying and espionage, this drama reminds me of both Mulan and Shang because it teaches them about spying.

My Princess (Rapunzel & Flynn)

Although the story is very similar to the Princess Diaries, Rapunzel did not find out that she is a princess until later of the story.

Winter Sonata (Elsa, Kristoff & Anna)

As the title mentions, this drama is very old but it suits the trios. Both stories are set...

Disney Princesses Fight PT1: Advantages and Disadvantages

Today I'll be thinking of who'd come out champion in a fight of the Disney Princesses, first I'll be thinking of their advantages and disadvantages. Also I'm ignoring the obvious, their kingdoms.

Snow White:
A: Has All The Forest Animals and the Seven Dwarves in her will, won't be fighting, she'd just be saying the commands for them, she does have her ways of getting people to do what she wants. She's very organized too
D: She is easily sabatoged and gullible. And forest animals aren't the strongest of animals. Besides she has no magic by her side

Disney Princesses Star in the Movie: The Lost Princess Part 1

misscindyspice made this

A while ago, I did a poll series called "A Movie Staring Disney Princesses" , deciding what roles Disney Princesses would play in a movie (results are down below. And then I posted a forum, deciding plots. Although I did decide most of the plot, many people helped me get started and got the plot going in my head, so I can't take all the credit. Thank you to those who participated- whether you helped in the forum, voted in the polls or both, and I'm sorry for the long wait. This will take place in a few parts- I don't know how many exactly, but I estimate four-five.

My Favourite Frozen Deleted Songs

posted by deedragongirl

The soundtrack

Hi everyone, this is actually on my favourite deleted song from the movie, Frozen. As I had the Deluxe Edition of the soundtrack and here are my thoughts on which song it should have been in the movie.

We Know Better

This song is actually the origins of how Elsa is a contrast to Anna, who represents the good and evil force in them. It's kind of like the Prologue in Les Miserables as Valjean represents good while Javert represents evil as the story processes.
If the movie had been faithful to the original story, it would have been interesting to see the 2 princesses in these tendencies.

Maleficent vs Cinderella

posted by deedragongirl

Who do you choose? Live-action reboot or Animated???

So, since Disney has release 2 live-action reboots of their Disney classic animated feature. Here is what I think about which movie is better, as well as their animated counterparts.

Cinderella (1950 & 2015)

I would definitely go for the live-action version, as mentioned in my previous articles. Ella has more personality compare to her animated counterpart, and of course, less screen-time for the mice.
However, no Bruno the dog! Also, no songs in it. I wish it was, but on the other hand, the producers and Kenneth Brannagh didn't want the movie to be to close to its original 1950 animated...

Beauty Pageant Winners/ Disney Princess Lookalike

Ksenia Sukhinova (Miss World 2008 from Russia)

Hi guys, I have been wanting to write this article for a long time, since I'm also a beauty pageant fan myself too. I thought that it would be interesting to write about which Disney Princess do they look like and why. If you guys have your opinion, you're most likely welcome to write it down! Here are some of my favourite Miss Universe/ Miss World winners and their striking resemblance to the Disney Princesses.
