Mermaid Princess ~ Aurora

mmmm...I guess the one thing I like about her is that she really knows how to take care of herself out there. -Swanpride

She does one unique thing for a disney princess: she is called out on her selfishness and mistakes by the narrative, owns them, AND works to fix the problem. She realizes her mom has a point as much as Merida herself does and learns to appreciate her. Also, she learns true bravery- not shooting arrows, swinging a sword, or climbing waterfalls, but admitting you caused harm. That's never easy. Merida avoids some of the outdated tomboy princess tropes by doing all this, but...

1. Congrats on winning Fan of the Month! How does it feel?
Thank you! It feels really amazing. I actually was Fan of the Month once, back in the old Fanpop days when the Fan of the Month was still fairly new. Although, back then, once you won once, you couldn't be nominated ever again, so I actually never thought I would get to be Fan of the Month again, which makes it all the more of an honor for me.

2. We know you love Moana and Ariel, do you have any other favorite princesses?
If you mean of the official Disney Princesses, I'd say Mulan, Pocahontas, and Tiana are the ones I'm absolutely in...

I love that despite how she grew up she's always optimistic and sweet, I love her passion for painting and her art style, and I love her singing voice -BB2010

I love Rapunzel's intelligence, creativity, and curiosity. She charted stars and never gave up on her dreams to see the floating lanterns. She is also very honest, kind, and optimistic, which I love. She sees the good in others and doesn't give up on anyone that she loves. -sunnyfields

I love her enthusiasm! But I especially love how she overcomes years of psychological abuse. She has so much inner strenght. -Swanpride

The reason I love...

On the fourth day of Princess
Walt Disney gave to me,

four braiding girls
three fairy spells
two lucky pals
and the wisdom of an old tree.

As difficult as my pick for march was, as easy was the one for April. After all, the most obvious holiday to feature is Easter, and there is only one princess which came back from the death. The most difficult part for this one was to decide which day to mark...the friday, the sunday, the monday or all of them. I felt that "all of them" would be going a little bit overboard, so I finally went for the monday. I hope that is okay with you.




And naturally I...

Okay so this is really late and I'm putting it up kinda late in the night, on Thanksgiving, no less. But I finally rewatched Brave tonight! I got a subscription to Disney+ at the start of this month and I finally set up my account on my mom's tv (if I'm going to leech off her Netflix and Hulu, she can at least be able to use my Disney+) and my niece put on Brave, one of her favorite movies, and we all sat down and watched it together :)


Today's rewatch: Brave
Last time watched: August 2017


How much did I like this movie when it came out?
So when this movie was advertised I was excited to watch...
