ディズニープリンセス Article: ディズニー Princess goes Les Miserables

posted by deedragongirl

One Day More!

Okay, there was an interesting 記事 about シンデレラ that inspired me to write this 記事 on which princess will suit the famous songs from Les Miserables. So, are あなた ready? Here we go!

I Dreamed a Dream

シンデレラ would definitely sing this song, because she longs to breakaway from her abusive step-family. It was like when her happy days has turn into a nightmare, so I feel that she needs to sing this song at some point in the movie itself.

At the End of the Day

This song would definitely fit Tiana because her movie is set during the Great Depression, the financial crisis during that time was awful! So this song SUITS/スーツ Tiana's time period.

Castle on a Cloud

This song definitely fits Snow White and Princess Aurora, because they sleep and dream about their true 愛 kiss. In fact, this song also SUITS/スーツシンデレラ especially during her childhood.

I Saw Him Once/ In My Life

I Saw Him Once only appeared in the Original ロンドン Cast and sadly it wasn't feature in later productions, but again it would suit both Princess Aurora and Snow White, especially about their true 愛 kiss.

On My Own

This song definitely SUITS/スーツ Jasmine, Belle and Elsa, especially Belle after she was lock up in the Beast's 城 after her father was release. She moans about her loneliness, the same with Elsa.

A ハート, 心 Full of Love

This song SUITS/スーツ both Kristoff and Anna, as well as ジャスミン and Aladdin, it's a lovely duet with a 愛三角形 as Eponine bemoans that Marius chooses Cossette instead of her, so in this case, it would definitely be Kristoff, Hans and Anna.

Do あなた Hear the People Sing?

Merida and her clan definitely would sing this song, especially when they go out to the battlefield to fight. She's very tomboyish in a way and would be the kind of girl who would fight for her nation.
It also SUITS/スーツムーラン as well when she fights the Huns.

A Little Fall of Rain

This is when Rapunzel is holding the dying Flynn and they sing this wonderful song together, before being revive with Rapunzel's tears.

Red & Black

This song is like a conversation between Ariel and King Triton, in which Ariel dreams of meeting Prince Eric and wishes to be human, until her dad defies it and points out that she is a mermaid!

Conclusion

Since the famous musical is coming to Singapore this year, I maybe watching it with my mum and I hope that あなた get a chance to watch it!

Do you hear the princesses sing?

324anna Great article! I agree with all of your choices. I thought that especially I dreamed a dream is perfect for Cinderella, I sometimes think of her when I listen to it.

scarletunicorn Cool! I love Les Mis and I love comparing Disney characters with it from time to time. Definitely agree with I Dreamed a Dream with Cindy, and I think Elsa could work with On My Own (I also see Ariel working with this song, but tbh, it's kinda hard. I don't think any of the DPs fit well with this song.) I have my own casting for a Les Mis/Disney crossover Valjean- The Beast (commits an awful act in his past, tries to redeem himself throughout all his life). Javert- Frollo (Obsessed with the law and "doing right", even if they are very misguided (though I don't see Javert as a villain tbh)). Fantine- Cinderella (Girl who goes from riches to rags and experiences lots of abuse) (i 'd love to see the Blue Fairy play her in the Finale though). Sometimes Esmeralda works too. Cosette- Aurora or Jasmine. Rich sheltered girls with dreams of romance and wanting to change their lives. I also like a human Maid Marian for the role. Marius- Philip or Aladdin. Depends on the Cosette. Enjolras- Phoebus- blonde revolutionarie who leads the people of Paris against the establishment. Eponine- Sally the Ragdoll or Xion (hey, they're still disney characters, it counts). The girl who does everything, even give up her life, for the boy she loves. The Thenardiers- Doctor Facilier and the Queen of Hearts. Conning villains who lie and cheat their way to get what they want. Gavroche- Mowgli. Mischievous little boy.

324anna ^ I love the casting! Now I really want to see a Les Mis trailer Disney-style.

scarletunicorn There's a lot of good ones on the internet. :D

MadameLee I only have one issue with "At the End of the Day" the movie of the Princess and the Frog is set in the 1920s not the 1930s like you thought. So ..
