Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind!
The Story-line
As you may know, both stories are set in France, it also has a sad theme in it as it deals with a deformed person name Erik who wishes to be love. Ironically, the author of The Phantom of the Opera is by Gaston Leroux, who happens to be the namesake villain of Disney's retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The rose also plays a symbolic role in both stories.
Secondly, the Stranger Than You Dream It scene reminds me of the West Wing scene. Since the Phantom and the Beast did not want both Christine and Belle to find out about their embarrassment.
Finally, the Final Lair scene reminds me of the Mob Song where they are chasing the Phantom and the Beast!
The Characters
As previously mentioned, the Phantom reminds me of the Beast, because both characters want to be love despite their exterior appearances. Christine Daae and Belle are the same, apart from being brunette! They play a dominant role in a love triangle.
Gaston and Raoul are the opposite, they appear to be handsome. Unlike Gaston, Raoul is actually like Prince Adam, especially in appearance and personality! But, he is a combo of Gaston and Prince Adam. The same with the Phantom, especially Gaston during the Final Lair scene.
Madame Giry and Meg are like Mrs Potts and Chip, because they are like the motherly and sisterly figure to Christine. The same with Mrs Potts' relationship with Belle.
The Wardrobe is like Carlotta, because they're the Prima Donna throughout the story. While Cogsworth is her Piangi, due to their appearance again and similar Characteristic traits.
Finally, Lumiere is like the 2 managers due to the fact that they provide comic relief for the story! Which of course includes Cogsworth at times, despite that the 2 managers do not fight.
Music of the Night
The songs are very memorable in both movies, Masquerade is like Be Our Guest and Beauty and the Beast. Where we see Raoul and Christine dancing during the song.
As mentioned, The Mob Song reminds me of the Final Lair scene where the mob try to find the Phantom. Only is that the former has a comedic result, while the latter is very dramatic and sad!
Inside your Mind
So there you have it, my observations on both movies. If you guys disagree, I don't mind!
Or is it?
Who is the girliest of them all?

It’s kind of odd that the opening scene in the movie is last in our countdown. Here is where we meet our hero AND our villain. They are setting sail from England to the new world in search of the three G’s; Glory, God and Gold. We also meet Thomas, a young clumsy boy on the road to becoming a man. He immediately strikes...

"This one is a great scene and I love everything about this movie. But having to choose a least favorite scene and this would be it. The others are just better. Love Meeko and Percy! Can't believe people don't like them! :( "- AnnaKay19

Since Mulan is princess of the month, here some thoughts about which flower 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 flower Mulan wears in her hair when she meets the matchmaker – the same flower she leaves behind when she goes to war. I’m not sure what kind of flower that’s suppose to be. I first considered lotus (since the lotus is such a reveled flower in Asia and gets often connected to the gods), but a lotus has more petals. A white cherry blossom...

Even though all the princesses are pretty and attractive, one is just abit hotter than the next. So let's get started.
10.Rapunzel
I don't know if it has anything to do with the 3D animation but I just don't find Rapunzel hot. She looks an 11 year old and she's supposed to be 18. And her face isn't all that great either, her eyes are too freaking large.
9.Snow White
I guess we're not to supposed to find Snow White hot. She is only 14 but she looks a little older than that. Probably because she looks so tall compared to the dwarves. She's too cute and baby like to be hot. I like her...

10. Megara - Hercules 
She is drawn in a very specific, edgy style to fit in with her film's animation but still, Meg has beautiful purple eyes, pouty pink lips and gorgeous brunette curls. I find her quite beautiful although her body is the single most unrealistic which is forgivable since it's one of the cartoonier films.
9. Mulan 
One of my all-time favourite Disney characters, she is never one to top the beauty lists. But I actually find her to be quite lovely. Simple but at the start of the film she has gorgeous hair. Of course the designers had to make it believable that she could...

Part 1
As you may already of noticed I am a bit of a fan of the Disney Princesses and their films. One aspect about these films that I find really interesting is the kingdoms in which their stories take place, including the buildings and the general surroundings. So I decided to write an article discussing each Princesses kingdom. In this article I am looking at Walt Disney's princesses ie. the original three.
