Disney Princess Article: More Perfect Brothers Grimm's Stories

The Brothers Grimm

Since I had written Hans Christian Andersen, now it is his German counterparts. The Brothers Grimm, I know that many of their stories are dark and sinister. But, I'm sure that Disney will know how to handle it!

1) The Twelve Brothers

Okay, this story is quite similar to the Wild Swans. It also has a happy ending and I kind of feel bad for the girl during the majority of the story.

2) Rumpelstiltskin

I bet you all know the story, and it was my favourite story of all times since I was young. The ending has several different versions, so it's up to Disney to decide!

3) The Brave Little Tailor

We all know that Disney had already made this many years ago with Mickey and Minnie Mouse in it, but I bet if Disney were to make a Disney Princess version of it. I don't mind at all!

4) The Riddle

A young princess must solve a riddle with a dramatic climax throughout the story for the prince himself.

5) The White Snake

This story is a little bit like Beauty and the Beast and Snow White. However, I really felt that Disney should make this story.

Team Grimm?

So, only 5 choices make it to the list.

The Twelve Brothers

A hairy giant?

The Riddle

Rumpelstiltskin

The White Snake

wavesurf I have the entire compilation of the stories from the Brother's Grimm. My favorite story attributed to them is "The Water of Life." However, I'm going to have to go back and read the ones ( not Rumple) that you've named here.

MaidofOrleans All of these are wonderful!

lily_grace I am not familiar with The Riddle. I must check it out.

pretty_angel92 i would like to add Snow white and Rose red

deedragongirl ^^ I don't think so, unless we want to have 2 Snow Whites!

Disney Princesses - Role Models for Young Girls?

posted by dweeb

Disney has enchanted us for decades with its beautiful, singing heroines.

As many of us know, Disney Princesses are not always viewed in a positive light. Some people believe them to be passive, codependent damsels in distress. But is this really true? Or does each Princess offer a kind of strength in her own way? Here, I have carefully ranked the princesses in terms of being good role models for young girls. We'll start at the bottom of the list so we can work our way towards, in my opinion, Disney Princess' best role model. I have spoken to plenty of parents to make sure that I have diverse research and opinions.

HOTTEST DISNEY PRINCE COUNTDOWN! (as voted by the public)

posted by princesslullaby

The list of hottest disney princes is finally here! As we know, disney guys are mostly hotter than guys in real life, and I admittedly have a crush on more than one of them. But let's see as a whole, who the fanpop community is crushing on.
I only have a little to write about each of the guys, because...come on. You all know as much as I do.

The girly guy

9.The Prince
This nameless fellow was out pretty quickly in the first round. Dark brown hair, brown eyes, and of average height, this guy really is nothing special. A major turn off for most of the people who voted was his girly appearance,...

The Origin and Meaning of the Disney Princess Names

posted by alafastanzio

Snow White ___________________________

In the beginning of the Grimm's Tale Schneewittchen, Snow White's mother pricks her finger with a sewing needle and three drops of her blood fall onto the snow which lay on the ebony windowsill. Oddly enough, this made her long for a daughter of a similar color scheme. While this reflects the arc of the story: (white)innocence, (red)maturity & love, and (black)death, her name particularly represents a season when the world metaphorically sleeps only to be inevitably awakened with the coming of spring.

Beauty and the Beast vs The Phantom of the Opera

posted by deedragongirl

Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind!

Hi everyone, I just watched Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera just now. While watching, I noticed some similarities with Beauty and the Beast! Here are my observations.

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...

Well,it's been a while since a wrote an article,huh?
It's not entirely my fault,it's just I that my life has its ups and downs and I had to deal with both of them in the past days.Plus,considering how long my previous article was that I had to split it into two parts,I needed some break from that.
But enough talk,let's get into the article itself.
You may not have known this,but I'm also a big Steven Universe fan.Most of that has to do with the fact of,you guessed it,how much it resembles Frozen.
Now technically,Steven Universe aired about one week before Frozen came out,but the similarities...

Disney Princess Hair Ranking

posted by TheMusicalMolls

I haven't done a ranking in a while, so here ya go. This article is dedicated to the amazing animators of Disney who gave us wonderful character designs and, sadly, unrealistic hair expectations! (*cries because my hair will never be as cool as DP hair*)

That being said, although every princess has beautiful hair, some manes are better than others. This is my opinion of their hairstyles, ranked worst to best.

12. Tiana

I find Tiana's hairstyles quite disappointing. As the first black princess, and being absolutely gorgeous at that, the animators could have done lots of cool things with letting...

Disney Enneagram: Snow White (2, The Helper)

Type Two, "The Helper"

Hello, everyone! This is the first installment of my new series analyzing the DPs' personalities according to the Enneagram system.

Introduction: Understanding the Enneagram

So, the Enneagram is a pretty complicated system of classifying personalities. Basically, everyone has a core type, expressed as a number of One through Nine. This is the most straightforward description of someone’s personality.

Here’s a basic rundown of each type:
1: perfectionistic, rational, idealistic
2: generous, warm-hearted, nurturing
3: ambitious, image-conscious, charming
4: sensitive, dreamy, moody
5: cerebral,...

Disney MBTI: Rapunzel (ESFJ)

posted by AudreyFreak

I know she's always typed as an Intuitive, especially an ENFP, and it's understandable why; I had once typed her as an ENFJ myself. She does, after all, just "know" the lights are "meant for me!" But is that really indicative of someone with strong intuitive preference? I think it's because this tendency for people to type nerdy/quirky/silly ESFJs as ENFPs, not only Rapunzel but characters like Steven Universe. It gets frustrating because that just implies only intuitives are inherently imaginative.

Anyway, to the typing:

Extroverted Feeling (Fe): Rapunzel is very warm to everyone she meets....

Why I consider Triton an Abusive Parent, At Least Initially

posted by wavesurf

I really think he loses it, here... Raging at a person is not explaining to a person your personal view.

Triton is one of those dads in Disney that absolutely makes me squirm. I don’t love him, and I don’t hate him. But I do find him extremely unnerving, and on the same plane of Mother Gothel upsetting. He clearly alternates between being “nice” only sometimes, and then being really “explosively nasty” at other periods. King Triton’s rule is a patriarchy. I think his abusive tendencies, though, stem from insecurities he has within himself. Triton is afraid of the unknown. He's also afraid of not appearing “manly” enough. ( Bizarrely, this also makes me think of Prince Adam and...

Swedish Disney Princesses

posted by sweetie-94

I got inspired by laylastepford's link about which American Cities the Disney Princesses would live in and as I'm from Sweden I decided to write an article about which Swedish Towns (since most falls into that category, only a few falls into the "city" category) each Disney Princesses would live in, it's hard to identify each town's personality so I based it on mostly other aspects. I haven't been to all these towns so I'm just basing on what I know about each town

Snow White: Alingsås

This town lays only about 30 minutes train ride from Gothenburg and from what I've read and seen off...

Song Analysis: "Into the Open Air"

posted by ApplesauceDoctr

Hello there! I'm ApplesauceDoctr here today with my third DP Song Analysis article. I've forgotten how much I enjoy writing these, and since I re-watched Brave a few days ago, I thought I'd analyze one of its most notable songs -- "Into the Open Air".

Before we begin, thought I'd mention this -- the chorus occurs twice in the real song (the one you can purchase from the soundtrack), but only occurs once in the actual movie. The lyrics for the two are quite different, but because we only hear one version in the movie, I'll only discuss that one we hear. :D

This love, it is a distant star...

Disney Princess Merchandise- A never ending hatred

posted by reflection11

Ah yes. Merchandise. Money, in other words. I adore the Disney princesses. They are all unique, and have good qualities. Some are even a little complex and the majority are at least decent role models. That's not how Disney markets them. Well, unless their name is Anna or Elsa. For the first 11 princess, they are downgraded into sparkle obsessed girls that look nothing like they did in their original film. Great princesses are forgotten in merchandise as well. The whole system is downright awful. For the Frozen sisters, Disney markets them as "I don't need a man". They tried that with Merida...

BraBrief's Favorite DP Wardrobe List.

posted by BraBrief

All images in this article are edited by me :)

I realized that I've never written an article with any of my list in this club; so I wanna start with something that I really love: Disney Princesses' Outfits! I'm a big fan of Disney dresses, here's why I love cosplayers and to cosplay so much. It's wonderful to see an animated dress in person.
Well, about my article: I included just complete outfits, for example I kept out Ariel's rags because, in my opinion, this isn't even an outfit, or Mulan's white dress she wears under her Matchmaker visit dress because they are part of the same outfit. So, I hope you'll enjoy my list and tell me with...
