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!

6 Times Anna and Elsa Were Disney's Most BADASS Leading Women

posted by NinjagoStone118

Anna and Elsa are two of Disney's most passionate, determined, and independent leading ladies. Their time in Frozen and Frozen 2 has been full of action, adventure, and compassion. It's no wonder that their adventures have struck a chord with so many fans. Here is why we should find out why they are in the line of the next generation of Badass Female Characters!

1. Their Sisterly Love Always Saved The Day!

Girls if there is one thing that we've seen in both Frozen movies, it's that it was never a prince charming or knight in shining armor who came in to rescue princess and defeat the villain...

Belle/Rapunzel Chapter 2

posted by sweetie-buttons

When Rapunzel heard the call from outside her tower, she assumed it was her mother, and her heart sank. Normally she'd be glad to see her, but after their argument, she was less eager.

Well, it wasn't really an argument. Those things kind of required two people arguing. It was more Mother lecturing and Rapunzel listening. But it was unpleasant enough for Rapunzel to feel bad about it even after her mother left.

When she went over to the tower window, she looked down—and gasped.

It definitely wasn't her mother. She didn't have too clear a view from her tower, but the figure at the bottom was...

My review of Frozen 2

posted by Renegade1765

Before we say goodbye to not just this year but also this decade, it's time I write an article that I wanted to write for a long time.
As a lot of you know, and for those who don't, Frozen is a movie/franchise that means a lot to me. Without it, I wouldn't even be on this site. It all started back in October of 2014,when I started to form a crush on the fictional character of Elsa. Originally, it was because I thought she was incredibly gorgeous, and I still think so, to this day. But, as the days went by and did more of my research, I realized how similar Elsa was to me and I began to relate...

Fan of the Month November 2019: BB2010

posted by BB2010

1. How does it feel to be Fan of the Month?
I was Fan of the Month once a long time ago and while back then it was a bit of a shock this time, it's not that surprising :) I don't mean that in a self-centered way, comparing to how active I was in the past to now, I like to think I'm somewhat well-known for a ton of users here like KataraLover or sunnyfields. I'm honored to be the first Fan of the Month since it has been brought back.

2. Who is your favorite princess and why?
My favorite princess is Mulan because I used to relate to not being good enough for my family and wanted to do something...

BB2010 watches The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning

posted by BB2010

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh let's just get this over with...

Today's rewatch: The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning
Last time watched: 2008

How much did I like this movie as a kid?
I didn't. Like, at all. In fact, after we see how Ariel's mom died that was it for me. Okay, so let me start from the beginning; If you've read my articles about TLM and TLM 2, you know that TLM is one of my most favorite movies and was a huge part of my childhood so when I was 15 years old I found out that there was going to be another movie of course I was excited!...

PrincessAyeka12's Google Translate Explains DP Personalities Part 1

I copy and pasted the information from the Disney Wikipedia.

Snow White

Snow White is well known for her kindness and optimism — both of which act as her greatest strengths, as they've guided her safely through the various hardships faced throughout her life. She is quick to charm, winning the trust and admiration of the Prince, forest animals, and the Seven Dwarfs rather quickly, proving her kindness and pleasant aura makes her a beloved figure. Coined as the "Fairest One of All", Snow White's beauty lies both within her physical appearance and pure heart. With no negativity within her, Snow...

Aladdin: Old vs New

Here's the final article! I got to say, I'm kinda bummed that not a lot of people participated in this but it is what it is :)

Favorite Aladdin

R 1
O and R 1

Personally, I thought Mena did a great job for the most part, but Aladdin was changed from being a confident smooth talker to a socially awkward dork (and I mean dork in a nice way). The original Aladdin had a couple awkward moments where he stumbled over the right words or said the wrong thing but they barely happened. Remake Aladdin suddenly became incredibly awkward at the drop of the hat at one point in the movie. Some people probably...

Why I Like Shan Yu

posted by JNTA1234

"Perfect"

Some people say he's forgettable but I think people automatically dismiss him just because he's not dramatic, theatrical and "hammy" like other Disney villains. I personally think he's pretty badass and ruthless.

Shan Yu is actually kind of similar to Mulan in that while everyone agrees that they both do remarkable things, some people think their personalities are on the boring side but I think it's unfair to dismiss any princess who isn't overtly dreamy, bubbly or feisty in some way (Mulan) and any villain who isn't over the top and in your face (Shan Yu) as boring. There are other ways to...
