I shall begin this 記事 unconventionally, によって speaking of something personal. This 年 has been very rough for me in a lot of ways. The roughness has impacted every single sphere of my life, from my finances, to my job, to my 愛 life (which remains laughable), and to my very health. I have been really sick. I relate to the アラジン of the 1992 film, even もっと見る so now, than when I first shook his hand in 1992. I relate to being constantly dirt poor, scared out of my mind, living 日 to 日 on the edge of the precipice, and skirting によって through just the slimmest of margins. Every 日 is starting to look a lot like yesterday…. And I can see why アラジン wants people “to look closer” at him, and see that “there’s so much もっと見る to me.” *cue 音楽 swelling*
    I recently got a coffee mug, with a unicorn on it. It is pastel pink, and it reads “you are something magical.” I bought it, because it was whimsy. But now that I think about it… I wonder just how much of life really is “the magic that comes from inside.” If I am something magical, then it really doesn’t matter that I am now facing this downward spiral. I can just plummet downward. I make my own magic, もっと見る または less.
    It’s all a mind thing. The late Robin Williams suffered because it was “all a mind thing” all along. And Williams passed on, because the mind can be a very tragic debilitating war zone. I work as a nurse just at the border between life and death. I serve those who are touching または trying to leave this plane of existence. It’s a tough job, and life has only 与えられた me tough choices. I am much like those who want “to become so much もっと見る than they are”--- and there are few who succeed in mastery of themselves. It’s important to realize that my struggles only solidify my need for digesting this…. I make my own magic.
     And that’s what the film アラジン is all about. Making your own magic. Not relying on the magic of someone else. But using who あなた are to do the deed.
    So, without further ado, let’s see what the アラジン remake from 2019 got right in the magic department, and what was left collecting dust in the Cave of Wonders.

SPOILER ALERT!
Please don’t read this 記事 any further if あなた haven’t seen the movie yet, and don’t want any spoilers!


The Prologue: I did like the opening to this movie. Part of my enjoyment is Will Smith. He can charm when he’s in the right spot. However, Will had a white/beige speck of something in his beard during the opening scene--- and that really kept me staring, and distracted me from what he was saying. Was it the lighting? The sun reflecting off of the waves? There was something stuck in his beard, and I don’t understand if I am blind. I saw it!
    Other than that, the opening was good, and Will can sing pretty well enough to do service to the song Arabian Nights.

The Principal Characters We All Know (and Some of Us Love)

Jasmine: Naomi Scott. I think the whole club has blown up with perspectives on whether she surpassed the original Jasmine. Did she, または didn’t she? I think she ended up in the middle. At times, I just found her to be very much too poised/ too reserved. Naomi’s Jasmine, in most scenes, ended up expressing a lot of Belle traits: sarcastic quips with a side-twisted smile; leaving the room instead of talking to the other person; staring mournfully from the sidelines.
    The ジャスミン in the original was もっと見る of a spitfire. ジャスミン in the original was not known for mournfully staring from the sidelines when “the-goings-on-were-going-on.” She openly glared at her antagonists, she power-walked, and she even “pretended to have magic affect her.” The 1992 ジャスミン had cunning. She did undermine Jafar, even if it was only to give アラジン a shot at defeating him.
    Naomi’s ジャスミン is too preoccupied with chasing Sultanship, that she pays little attention to Aladdin’s existence. I felt that most of the chemistry between Al and ジャスミン was missing in the remake, because Naomi’s ジャスミン was SO STIFF. The only time she thawed out, was in the scene where she was trying to find Ababwa on the map. All the other times, remake ジャスミン was winking at her handmaid, Dhalia, または leaving the room. Again. And again. And Again. Again.
    So much of Belle. If あなた upset me, I won’t tell あなた this straight out. I will just passively-aggressively convince あなた to see that I am right. I won’t verbally say, “All of あなた are just standing around deciding my future!” No, I will repress it, sing inside my head --- ‘Speechless’--- and try to coax loyalty from the head palace guard.
    I liked Speechless as a song. Right up…er…until ディズニー undercut it, によって doing the same trick they did in Brave, where Merida was 歌う “Touch the Sky” all in her head. Oh, gosh. I just would love, really 愛 it if あなた didn’t tease me によって purporting to “give the princess a new song to sing” --- but then totally undercut the impact of it によって having the song be sung “all in her head.”
    Okay. I do remember that ジャスミン lived in yet another patriarchal society. But Naomi’s ジャスミン has no cunning, save for the one instance where she blatantly grabs the lamp from Jafar when she is standing there hemming-and–hawing—as she tries not to say “I do.” I recall that the 1992 ジャスミン flicked Jafar’s spittle right back in his face, and threw a full glass of wine at him, when he invaded her personal space… The 1992 ジャスミン didn’t just stand there, at a loss for words, with Jafar’s fingers under her chin.
    My quibbles with Naomi’s ジャスミン are these. 1) She’s not fiery/ a spitfire. She’s too mournful, and behaves like Belle does when she’s upset. 2) She isn’t cunning. 3) She chases power and distinction. Power and distinction are the very things that the remake Will Smith-Genie warns and lectures アラジン on-and-on about in the desert, right when they are sitting in those Adirondack chairs under the cloth awning.
So, I know it’s timely, and even もっと見る feminist, to have the heroine sing a song about throwing off the patriarchy—except the song is sung in her head. And I know it’s もっと見る feminist to adhere to the archetype of the strong female if she’s an inventor, has ice powers, または is a power-wielding Sultan. If a song and a handful of new traits are the “strengths” of your female prototype, then we just might have it.
    But it’s devoid of magic. I mean, what’s magical is what’s inside. I began this 記事 saying “we make our own magic.” And inside Naomi’s ジャスミン it isn’t this at all. I hear her sighing, as she sits with remake アラジン on a rooftop, stating that, “The people make the kingdom I live in, magical.” Oh, they do? I see あなた leaving most of the entire plotline of this movie on the table, while あなた pursue your rule over Agrabah. Maybe, 表示する me how あなた would provide for the least insured, and the most heavily taxed, Jasmine? Maybe, 表示する me how あなた would care for widows and orphans such as Aladdin…? I know, I know. It’s easier to just speak of the goal あなた desire, and not the conundrum of carrying it out…
    I make my own magic. My mug reads “you are something magical.”
    Jasmine from 2019 is trying. But she’s trying too hard. She needs to just be herself.
    Being yourself, allows あなた to stop putting up a facade, a convincing front to who あなた are, while あなた chase that Sultanship.
    Authenticate. Be magical. The 1992 ジャスミン 発言しました to Jafar, “I was not kidnapped. I ran away!” The 1992 ジャスミン knew who she was, and told everyone what she did, straight up. The 1992 ジャスミン was an unvarnished straight arrow. She was authentic. And she was feminist.
    This boils down to perspectives, I guess.
    This is going to sound jarring, but I am going to be frank.
    Is chasing power, true feminism?
    I thought feminism was equality of pay, give and take, spunk, camaraderie, repartee, and the courtesy to others of acknowledging when you’ve probably had enough. It’s knowing your own limits.
    Naomi’s ジャスミン wasn’t awful.
    She was in the middle. A tone was 与えられた to this ジャスミン that sort of clashed, and it prevented chemistry from happening with her would-be paramour, and it also prevented me from seeing her authenticity.
     Be yourself. It’s circa 1992.
     In 2019, I think it’s still relevant. Be magical.

Jafar: Moving right along. Oh, yuck. Marwan Kenzari. Never heard of him. He probably would work well, like Luke Evans did, in a different movie. This Jafar had no charm, and no charisma. He just had malice. He wasn’t even effective at being menacing! I wasn’t sure why malice was the only thing this Jafar had in his arsenal. Chops 与えられた to the 1992 version of Jafar.

Iago: Alan Tudyk was good. But his role in the remake was so slight, while in the 1992 version, Iago did SO MUCH. What a waste of a villain side-kick, here.

Sultan: David Negahban was all right. But like Kevin Kline, he was kinda forgettable. Except for handing Naomi’s ジャスミン the reins to Agrabah, Negahban didn’t really impress.

Abu: He was all CGI. Who played Abu? No idea. He’s not listed in the casting on Google または on IMDB. I don’t have much to say. But I liked the facial expressions in the 1992 version better.

Carpet: Again, it was all CGI. No actor is listed for casting on Google または IMDB. I don’t have anything much to say. Carpet wasn’t as funny, though, as he was in the original.

Rajah: もっと見る CGI. The best part of Rajah’s role in the remake was licking Mena Massoud right up the face. That was random. Okay.


Handmaid Dhalia: To Jasmine: “Prince Ali has a very attractive friend. Please make it work!” WHAT? アラジン is blown across the room によって Genie dust. Dhalia: “Say something. Act natural. Uh-hahahaha—Hiiiii!” *Sigh, Disney, sigh.* If あなた ever wanted to find out what is the opposite of comic relief? Dhalia.

Aladdin/Prince Ali Ababwa: Mena Massoud was もっと見る of a side-character in this movie. I’m still wondering whether he is a better actor in another movie (just like Marwan Kenzari). Why did ディズニー reduce the motor-mouth, smooth-talking Aladdin, to a clammed-up social inept, for the remake? Because the execs at ディズニー and Guy Ritchie thought that this would be funnier? Well, it wasn’t. Seeing this version of アラジン gave me cringe-worthy face palm moments. A lot of face palms. I felt like I was watching Lord Dingwald, Lord Macintosh, and Lord MacGuffin in Brave. I don’t find it very amusing to watch idiots who just can’t ever deliver a line with conviction and panache.


Genie/the Mariner: Will Smith will never be Robin Williams. I’m glad he didn’t even try. Will made the genie his own, and I applaud him for that, as he had stupendous shoes to fill…. Robin is now widely regarded as a legend in ディズニー fandom. But I think Will Smith did pretty well with this role. I don’t think Will overdid it. I don’t think Will could have done a better job than he did. And he WAS the comic relief this remake sorely needed.


The Story (and the new backstory)

The plot was fine, until we had remake ジャスミン push the brakes, and not the accelerator, multiple times. I wanted to enjoy the adventure, because most of アラジン 1992 was a pure, non-stop- adrenaline-ride from the opening sequence to closure. In the remake, I kept being treated to ジャスミン pining around for bureaucratic opportunities, and there was no zing. The excitement wasn’t there. Will Smith made in-roads with the moments he livened the atmosphere as the Genie. But still…

The Music: Howard Ashman and Tim ご飯, 米 with Alan Menken. Those familiar songs were carrying this movie. But they changed the lyrics to Arabian Nights, because, in our now lurid political climate, ディズニー needed to sanitize it for us all. Here link. I did catch this, right away, when first watching the remake. Later, I figured out it was on purpose. They also changed lyrics in “Prince Ali.”
     The new ‘Speechless’ was written によって Benj Pasek and Justin Paul of La La Land. And now, that I consider it, much of the orchestration for this musical number does have the feel of La La Land. Look at how remake ジャスミン gestures, how she turns herself around, how she throws her head back, etc.


Conclusion: Is it this time, already? Well, that went によって fast. Is it just me, または did the screenwriters of the remake keep repeating rephrases of “phenomenal cosmic powers, itty bitty living space” too many times? Remake genie says this line several times--- so when this moment arrived for Jafar, this undercut his comeuppance for me. The impact of this wonderful line suddenly fizzled. I wonder why Disney/Guy Ritchie opted to do this? In the 1992 version, アラジン says this line. In the remake, both Genie and アラジン finish each other’s sentences saying this line, for the fourth または fifth time. I forget which. So then it was mildly irritating.
    My 全体, 全体的です assessment of this film is this. The remake of アラジン is charming if あなた wanted もっと見る of this version of jams and Jasmine. If not, then…honestly, it’s okay. I don’t and won’t hold it against you. I can understand why some people liked this Jasmine, while I, on the other hand, did not. It’s not because I don’t want women to express feminist tendencies. I wholeheartedly do. I just want them to be their truest, most authentic selves while doing it. And to be magical.


Thanks for 読書 if あなた made it this far! Did あなた 愛 the remake, only liked it, または did あなた dislike it? あなた can コメント below.

Cinderella has been one of my お気に入り ディズニー Princesses and one of my least favorites, but despite that I've never stopped loving her

I 愛 that she believes in her dreams and knows that someday they'll come true and that she never tells them to anyone

I 愛 how patient she is, even though she lives a horrible life she never stops believing that her dreams will come true, this leads me to another thing I 愛 about her, her...

13. Elsa
I feel really bad for having her in last place, honestly. It's just I find her quite plain compared to the others. I don't hate または even dislike her I'm just not that interested with her and kind of feel like she could have made some better decisions.


12. Snow White
As before with Elsa, I don't dislike her I just prefer the others. The reason she's higher than Elsa is because I feel she handled her situation a lot better and has もっと見る personality.

I'm pretty neutral about Anna, she has a very sweet and bubbly personality which I sort of like, but on the other hand that...

13. Elsa

She just bothers me. I think she is boring. She isn't boring in the way she doesn't do anything, cause she does. She creates a mess and becomes a diva and just... ARGH! I just find every single thing she does so completely uninteresting. I can't see why she is so loved outside fanpop. I think she should have remained the villain in the plot; I would have liked her more. I think I also would like her もっと見る if she didn't sing "Let It Go". In my eyes she is an introvert the whole movie and then randomly sings a song about being...

I did my お気に入り ディズニー Princess 一覧 before, but now it's changed a LOT, so I decided to remake the list. Anyways, please keep in mind that this is my opinion, so respect my opinion and I'll respect yours. Enjoy the article! :)




13. Anna
I used to dislike her, but my opinions have changed. I actually like Anna now. Not a lot, and I still find her annoying, but I actually like her now. I still have some problems with her though. Like marrying a man あなた just met? Going into the freezing cold in a dress? She makes stupid decisions, and that also annoys me. She's still in last right now, but...

Ok, I'm pretty sure everyone knows によって now that I'm not a huge アナと雪の女王 fan! And I 愛 ranting and having debates, so how about we do a ディベート again? (I know that they're going on in the フォーラ section but I'm going to do an 記事 because I don't want to differ from what they're talking about now.) this time, instead of talking about just Anna, Elsa, the parents, and the trolls, how about we talk about the positives and negatives of this movie?

How about I start with the positive section. There's got to be at least something I like about this movie, right?

The Positives

Bonjour! So basically what I am doing is a 一覧 of my favourite outfits; but I am sticking to one outfit per princess. Also this only applies to the first and original movie; there are no sequels included. This 記事 also includes Elsa and Anna. This is not a countdown; I tried to do one and it was too hard. I will also be talking about some of the accessories that go with that outfit, including shoes, jewellery, gloves, hairpieces etc. (There is only one outfit that Pocahontas wears, so there can only be one favourite. However I am still including her because I can still say some things...

Pocahontas was out helping her people gather 食 early one morning when Nakoma ran up to her. "You shouldn't be working since you've had those frequent dizzy spells." she advised. "Nakoma, I feel fine. Besides, the tribe could use all the help around here." Pocahontas reassured. "Okay, but Kekata's got a close eye on you." Nakoma replied. "If I get dizzy again, I'll take a break." Pocahontas promised. The reason behind the dizzy spells? Pocahontas was pregnant!

"So, have あなた told anyone else about the baby?" Nakoma asked. "I've told Mulan." Pocahontas answered. Nakoma was alittle surprised....

It's about time I got my 尻, お尻 into gear and write this article. I've been planning on 書く this for far to long. This 記事 is about who I think belongs in the line-up the most. Before あなた get mad and start shouting that all the princesses belong in the line-up, I ask あなた to do two things. First, remember that I KNOW THAT!!! NO NEED TO TELL ME!!! This is an opinion. Second, read the whole thing before commenting, I have my reasons why I put each princess where she is.
Now, with that all out of the way, let's start....

This was inspired によって Princesslullaby's List(s) that everyone wants to read, it's probably the 記事 I've read the most often. Though I'm not going to talk about score または アニメーション because I feel those subjects need to be analysed a different way. This was a challenge for me, I found it impossible to do. And I know, my 一覧 changed once again. It's like it automatically shifts on its own every 5 months. But this time, I tried to be もっと見る objective and fair, I don't know if it's the right thing to do because I think with my ハート, 心 sometimes. But I'm pretty confident so here goes nothing!

I was thinking about the fact that Middle-Eastern and Indian royalty back in the days would have what is called a harem. Jasmine's dad as far as we know doesn't have one. If Jasmine's dad had one it would be very likely she would have had shared living quarters with her steps and half-sisters and maybe aunts.

I think if ジャスミン had grown up in a harem she would been complete different and be 1)competitive and 2)she would also be Vigilant due to the number of X times she had been poison-if on purpose または によって accident によって the steps.

of course there's the fact Jafar could somehow 'use' her steps to get closer to her. So maybe that's one of the reasons why they didn't have a harem.

First, let’s look at the living environment of these girls. This will give context and incentive for their specific wants and needs.

PART 1: LIVING ENVIRONMENT

Snow, Cindy, and Aurora grow up isolated and have no (human) friend - they only have 動物 for company.

In addition to growing up isolated, both Snow and Cindy grew up orphaned young girls and directly suffer due to a jealous older woman: the クイーン dresses Snow in rags and forces her to be a scullery maid; Lady Tremaine abuses, humiliates, and forces Cindy to become a servant.

PART 2a: SNOW - I’M WISHING

In my last few 記事 I stated my favourites out of the following movies. The objective of these 記事 are to bring out the good stuff in the 映画 and not bash them down. So this isn't a countdown, however there is a ranking of where the movie sits on my favourites 一覧 (out of twelve for twelve movies)
I have done the other 映画 in my mother 記事 and now I am doing Princess and the Frog, Tangled, メリダとおそろしの森 and Frozen.

I finally decided to update that list, because it has really changed from the last time I wrote it.
But when I started 書く it, I was so confused and couldn't rank any of the DPs, I am probably the most indecisive person in ファンポップ (see what I mean when I say I can relate to Pocahontas?), so I decided to rank each DP's feauture separately (for example Belle's eyes: 10/10), because it's the only way for me to chose whose the most beautiful.
I just want あなた to know that the ranking of each DP's feature is NOT very accurate, it's just a silly way for me to finally figure out my list. The results...

I shall tell あなた the truth: I've been a bit militant in my liking of Cinderella. Negatives opinions made me feel stressed and I have been stubborn and rude. What made me change my point of view and see the wrong of my ways was when I saw link: "I think シンデレラ is both overly passive and a doormat, because it's one that leads to the other. In this way, I can sort of relate to her because I'm very passive and shy of confrontation. However, I'm not saying this makes her less of a valid または interesting character. Sometimes its nice to watch a heroine who isn't all assertive and kick butt, at...
