We all adore Rapunzel because she is fun, resourceful and talented, plus cute. Today I am sharing some fun facts about her Rapunzel and her movie, " Tangled".

FACTS
1- The movie "Tangled" was Disney's 50'th animated feature film. Rapunzel is also the first digital animated feature princess.

2- The idea to create Rapunzel starting the late 1930s Rapunzel was originally one of the stories to be considered after the release of Snow White.

3- Rapunzel is the first Disney Princess to have magical powers.

4- Rapunzel's hair is 70 feet long, with over 100,000 strands. The height of Rapunzel's tower was based on Rapunzel's hair.

5- Nor any Disney character have hair longer then Rapunzel.

6- Originally, Flynn's name was going to be Bastion. And, he was gonna be shaped like the Stabbington Brothers.

7- The original designs for Pascal were gonna be purple and blue, but the animators decided to go with green because it matched the best with Rapunzel's hair and clothes.

8- "Tangled" 's Animation Director Glenn Keane originally wanted a squirrel. But head of story, Mark Kennedy thought that Rapunzel needed something different for a sidekick.

9- Rapunzel is the only official princess to have green eyes. All the others have brown or blue eyes. Pascal matches her eyes good.

10- Rapunzel's outfit was inspired by a number of European Countries from the medieval period to the early 19th century. Her dress is the milkmaid style with a hint of whimsy. Embroidery on her dress isn't perfect, that shows that Rapunzel did it by herself. Rapunzel's wearing purple, which is the color of royalty. Purple is a royal color because it was extremely rare in back Roman empire days. A marine snail would secrete toxic mucus and that is how they got the Tyrian purple.

11- Mother Gothel's dress is prior to Rapunzel's time. İf you notice, she is the only woman wearing a bell sleeve, loose fitted dress throughout the entire movie.

12- Animation Director Glenn Keane's daughter artist Claire Keane designed and painted the arts that's on Rapunzel's walls. Glen drew inspiration for Rapunzel when Claire was just a little girl. İf you look closely at Rapunzel's walls, you can see the art starts off childlike to portray when Rapunzel first started drawing and then it progressed to some more detailed art. İt shows Rapunzel's growth.

13- Rapunzel paints on the last avaliable wall in the tower in her picture that she watches the lanterns. That symbolize that there is nothing left for her there. İt was time for Rapunzel to go outside and paint the whole town.

14- Rapunzel plays the electric guitar that isn't exist in that period.

15- Rapunzel is the Disney Character that has soo many hobbies, she is the most talented Disney Princess. She plays the guitar, knits, reads, plays darts and chess, solves puzzles, makes candles and pottery she is a ventriloquist and she loves to paint.

16- " Tangled" has the largest crowd Walt Disney Studios created to a CG future. The Disney Effects team created a crowd of nearly 3000 people. The Tangled animated cast includes a number of five main characters, 21 people from the bar scene and 38 townspeople.

17- Rapunzel made a short appearance in the movie "Frozen" during the scene that Anna opened gates and sang her song. She had short hair and Pascal on her shoulder, and she also had Flynn near her.

18- Rapunzel was barefoot throughout the entire movie.

19- İf you look closer at Rapunzel's cradle, you can see a horse representing Maximus, a chameleon for Rapunzel's sidekick Pascal, a duck for the snuggly duckling tavern, an angel for the man who is dressed as cupid at tavern and a blue bird for the blue birds that fly around Rapunzel when she leaves the tower for the first time, spoiler alert!

Cheer up, Beast.
Cheer up, Beast.
Hi guys, I remember that a few months ago. I wrote about Gerard Butler playing the beast, so here are my other choices, including Butler himself and my reasons why. So, here we go!

1. Joaquin Phoenix

I saw video clips of him in the 2000 film, Quills. Which I think it set around the same time as Beauty and the Beast, I personally think that he's the perfect candidate for the character.

2. Patrick Wilson

This musical theatre veteran had play in popular musicals, in the likes of Carousel, Oklahoma and as Raoul in the 2004 Phantom of the Opera. He serenades us with his singing and is also a perfect...

I'm always interested in Disney Princesses' wardrobes and thought that there is hardly any prominence given to their jewelry department. Well, what's a princess without some jewels (and tiaras, which i'll be doing in another article). So I crafted this article to imagine their signature jewels and a glimpse into their collection.

Snow White: Pearl
Pearls are linked with innocence and helps to see life through the eyes of compassion. It is also known for its purity. Snow White being the most innocent and fairest of all makes a perfect fit with pearls. Pearls are also often seen in the light of...

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,...

Heyyyy everyone! I thought I'd try to not be POOR by becoming an active user on this site! GIVE ME ALL THE GOLD MUAHAHAHA----oh, excuse me. You didn't hear anything. :P (But really, I want to deck out my profile!!)

Anyway, here's my princess ranking!!



13. Anna

Anna-banana is cute, but I just like the others more. :P



12. Cinderella

I don't like how Cinderella doesn't really stand up for herself! Yeah she shows a good work ethic, but damn girl! Put that backbone to good USE! That being said, she's really pretty except for her hair during the ball. Like what is UP with that headband??

Who's singing voice do you choose? Jasmine?
Who's singing voice do you choose? Jasmine?
So, this song has been covered by a few artists, like Lucy Hale by turning it into a country version. Then, another Disney star sang it, it is none other than Lea Salonga herself! Are you ready for a battle between Team Salonga and Team Menzel? Here we go!


Idina Menzel

While I enjoy her version, she's a bit pitchy in certain parts. Although at some parts she's very emotional and I like that, because she's very ominous like Elsa and I'm glad that I like her version.

Lea Salonga

Many of you know that she was the singing voice of Mulan and Jasmine, when I heard her version. I thought that she sounds even better than Idina! I would not actually mind her voicing Elsa anyway.
But I guess that they don't want Elsa to sound like Jasmine and Mulan!


Conclusion

While both of them are good singers, I would say that Lea is the best singer out of these two!
Mulan?
Mulan?
Or Elsa, Disney's Idol?

I am bored and it's been a while since I've written a non-poll based article, so why not? Just so you know, I am not going to make their professions crap like "fast food worker" or "housekeeper", because that would be kind of unfair. I will do things based on their talents.

This is entirely MY OPINION, so don't get upset if we differ, though I've never really had any problems with people on here.

Snow White: Zoologist






A zoologist is someone who studies animals in their natural habitat, something that I believe would be the perfect job for Snow White. Snow is obviously an animal person so...

The soundtrack
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.

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.


Ksenia Sukhinova (Miss World 2008, Russia)

This Russian beauty has combo of Cinderella and Princess Aurora, but most likely the latter because of their similar facial features and long...

I find that Snow has the opposite problem as Elsa: she is frequently just typed as a sensor (because you know, she's all traditional and not adventurous and likes to cook and all that boring sensor stuff, right?). There's a lot of bias and stereotyping with MBTI fans, and I used to be guilty of it too (OK, sometimes I still am). though to be fair, I think Snow IS a little underdeveloped in ways, so she could really be interpreted either way. However, I'll explain why I think she uses Ni over Si.



Extraverted Feeling (Fe): No doubt about it, Snow White is warm, caring, and a social butterfly....

Who doesn't love travel?

Well, I mean, I'm sure there are people who, beyond my comprehension, don't enjoy exploring other parts of the big wide world. But I love travel. And I'm sure the Princesses would too. So here are the places the Disney Princesses would enjoy vacationing to. *Disclaimer: I have never been to these cities, so if I sound stupid, have mercy! I got most of my information from the internet.*

Snow White: Glorenza (Glurns), Italy

Snow White would love to visit this tiny town in northern Italy, near the border with Switzerland. Since it is so small, with a population of only...

The results are in! So which castle is the most beautiful among all? I recently conducted a poll to figure which castles are seen as the most beautiful castles from DP movies by fans, and here's what the Disney Princess fans have to say about each and how they have ranked it.
Special thanks to tiffany88, who has generously contributed not only with her comments but also with phenomenal collages to help the fans choose better! Thank you so much for your generous help! <3

I did say I was going to write Christmas related articles here, but I've been wanting to write this one for a while, but I've been putting it off because I thought that pretty much everyone had the same list, but after thinking about it some parts of the list can variate from person to person though I believe that most of you will agree with my top 5. Anyway this was by far the hardest list I've ever written, the top 5 where settled in stone, but the rest where really hard to place. I based this on many aspects, but mostly on if the princess has both her parents alive, one parent alive or is...

My list hasn't changed all that much but I thought after rewatching Aladdin I would write an updated list.

13. Merida- Not a fan, I'm all for female empowerment but I don't like her attitude. She is just so rude & I do not find her likeable.

12. Elsa- She just really bugs me. I can't think of any other reasons but she just aggravates me.

11. Anna- Not keen on her either. She is not as bad as the other two but I'm not a fan, moving on.

10. Tiana- She is too much of a workaholic. I get that she has dreams to run her own restaurant but she can have fun once in awhile.

9. Jasmine- Jasmine has really...

I, myself only knew 8 out of 24. Who knows, you might know more than me or know less than me. Either way enjoy reading and absorb the knowledge!

Trivia

1) Art director Brian McEntee color-keyed Belle so that she is the only person in her town who wears blue. This is symbolic of how different she is from everyone else around. Later, she encounters the Beast, another misfit, also wearing blue and with blue eyes. It symbolized good in the film whereas red symbolized evil (the color of Gaston's shirt is red). A notable exception to this code is Gaston's blue eyes - making him the only Disney villain...
