Does anyone else see a reoccuring pattern in their favorite princesses/princes/villains/etc? My favorite princesses have blonde hair.
Posted over a year ago
My favourite princesses recurring pattern are not based on appearance, (Elsa: blue-eyed, icy blonde; Mulan: black eyes and hair; Merida: blue-eyed, redheaded), but all of them are badasses.over a year ago
favorites, no, but for beauty, I have a bunch of blondes first mostly, barring Mulan, then a lot of brunettes, with some redheads nearer the bottom.over a year ago
i have 3 totally different princess as my top fav: Belle (brown hair, renaissance), Merida (red hair, modern era) and Cinderella (Pink blonde, classic era). There's practically no similarity in my top 3.over a year ago
So, I saw The Little Mermaid (live) yesterday for the second time. Even though the musical does make me love Ariel more as a character, the musical just seems less magical. The costumes were fantastic and so were the actors/actresses, but I dunno..it just feels kind of bland every time I see it :/

Would you mind elaborating more? I've never seen as Disney musical live before, I'm curious to know why it's bland if the actors and such were good.over a year ago
I don't know. I felt that way about the live version of Beauty and The Beast which I've seen once or twice. Beauty and the Beast is underwhelming on stage, in my opinion. (B & the B is not exactly my favorite fairy-tale, anyway, so that could have lots to do with it...) I think if it's not one of your all time favorite Disney movies, you probably won't enjoy the transfer to the stage setting-- because a stage's "sets" come with "limitations" that aren't there on a screen.over a year ago
@shanuisboss Since Disney movies have so much unrealistic things in it, and a lot of magic, it's hard to transfer it onto stage. That's probably why.over a year ago
Yup! @UnholyNoise, there's three DP Broadway adaptations; The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast (which was sadly closed on Broadway in 2007 to make room for The Little Mermaid), and Aladdin,.over a year ago
My crush and I are gonna go see The Little Mermaid (musical) tomorrow, and I'm honestly so excited. After that, I told him I had never been to church and he invited me to come with him on Sunday! What a pleasant week I'm having :)

Sounds nice, I've wanted to see The Little Mermaid musical for some time, it looks really interesting and it's great that you're going to visit a church for the first time, hopefully you'll like both experiences :)over a year ago
OOOOHHHH!!! Yes, The Little Mermaid musical is fantastic!!! I LOVED IT. In this version, Ariel saves the day even more!!!! You're in for a thrill ride!!!! I hope you have a great time at both events. ;)over a year ago
Alan Menken released that two new songs will be released to the live action BATB, but they're not using any of the songs off of the Broadway production, which really upsets me. I already don't like Emma as Belle, and now this? Ugh.
Posted over a year ago
Well, Menken wrote the original BatB score. If he want's to write two new songs for the story, I think he's perfectly qualified for the role. Plus, Broadway songs don't always translate well to film, specially if you want to make the movie feel more grounded.over a year ago
To be honest, I'm neutral about this and I love the Broadway songs. But what one thing is that I feel skeptical about Dan Steven's portrayal as the Beast/ Prince Adam.over a year ago
I wish they didn't make a live action BATB in the first place. I think if they made it back then it would have had a more magical feeling, but I have a feeling they're going to make it too modern or whatever.over a year ago
I've been thinking about something weird lately; since Triton's wife died, and he was left with seven daughters, who takes the throne once he resigns/dies? Does the oldest daughter's husband take it? If the oldest daughter isn't married but another daughter is, would her husband take the throne? If Ariel's dad died before any of the other daughters got married, would Eric, a natural-born human become ruler? Could a daughter by herself just rule as a queen?
Posted over a year ago
I guess Attina (the oldest sisters) will take the throne as Queen of Atlantica. FYI I found the comic in Disney wiki that she getting married: linkover a year ago
The oldest daughter is in line for the throne, next. This is why when some people use the argument that Ariel "should have accepted more responsibility for the daily running of he kingdom" and "should have stayed in the sea, and been at EVERY SINGLE ONE of the music recitals," I just shrug because THAT MAKES SO LITTLE SENSE. Ariel has SIX sisters, not 2. She was never going to be queen under the sea. Just look at prince Harry of England. He likely will never be king. His grandmother has lived a long life, God Bless her. His father is next in line. His brother, William and Kate Middleton are next, after that. Harry won't be king unless all of his family members parish or have some dire health problems. Back to my point. Ariel would never have gotten "anywhere" while under the sea. So if Ariel wanted to become a human, I thought "that's perfectly fine!" Ariel would have very little else to do but be "married off."over a year ago
^^ Ariel being "married off" for her singing voice would make a BORING movie, just like TPATF, imo. I'm glad Disney let Ariel "take charge" of her existence, and "leave the sea." It made for more of a thrill ride, and the movie was way more suspenseful and fun...over a year ago
In the once canon TV series and books or comics, Aquata was next in line for the throne. She had a boyfriend named Fin, who she was presumably going to marry and then rule with when Triton died.over a year ago
This was back when the first movie concert sister line-up had more meaning behind it aka oldest to youngest sister in the song. Long before Ariel's beginning remade everything we once knew.over a year ago
Don't misunderstand though, I'm not complaining about Attina and Alana being oldest and second oldest now - the crown and tiara gives the in line for throne thing more sense.over a year ago
Things I am okay with: The Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise coming out between October-December.
Things I am not okay with: Star Wars merchandise taking over every nook and cranny of Disney stores all year long.
Posted over a year ago
Well...Star Wars is now doing what Frozen did for three years-ish now. I'm thinking this is the new way Disney "merchandizes" their stuff: by sheer inundation. For a person who sincerely hated Frozen, I had to suck it up and pretend I didn't see anything. lol.over a year ago
I love Star Wars, I'm super excited for the new movie, and I'm glad Disney bought it and is actually promoting it so it doesn't bother me at all, I like it actually. Nightmare Before Christmas is a seasonal film, Star Wars isn't so I get why the Nightmare stuff isn't in stores all year long while the Star Wars ones are. I think it's mainly for the upcoming movie though but who knows.over a year ago
So it turns out there was supposed to be a live-action "The Little Mermaid" movie, but the director Sofia Coppola dropped out of it due to "creative differences." It says that Universal Pictures and Working Title are still trying to move on with the idea, but I honestly think the Disney 1989 version is the best, and I think the live-action version would be a flop.

Sigh. If Hans Christian Andersen hadn't been so morose in his conclusions that everything needed to end in "death," then his stories might have been more beloved by whole generations of people. And yes, the live-action version of TLM with the ending where she dies and becomes a ghost for all time would be an expensive commercial flop. I, for one, wouldn't even go see it.over a year ago
I'm actually disappointed. I hate to be THAT person, but I'd be in heaven if I found an accurate and well-made Little Mermaid (HCA's fairy tale). I understand that movies can't ever be exactly like the original, and I'm not complaining. Yes, I've seen the anime one (I enjoyed it , too) but even that changed some of the story. I'm sorry if this comment comes across as complain-y. I know not everyone likes HCA's story. I just wanted to put one of my dream movie ideas out there.over a year ago
