1st Most Valued Elements:
1. My estimation of Princess Role Model- As a girl who grew up without a positive female role model, the ディズニー Princesses were my substitute for that. Seeing the DPs like Snow White & シンデレラ in particular, deal with such abuse as I did growing up, showed me that I didn't have to let the abuse corrupt me. Throughout all of my childhood, all I dreamed about was getting away from that abuse to a better life and the DPs were the ones who showed me how. While I did not attain their level of perfection (in my mind), it always meant the world to me that I had them as a scale of morality so the DPs that I can look up to mean the most to me and really are the #1 factor in my お気に入り DP films.
2. 全体, 全体的です Moral- Similar to #1, I appreciate the fact that the DP films are supposed to act as visual fairy tales with underlying morals. I am so thankful that Walt ディズニー had such a dedication to 表示中 the traditional semi-universal morals that he thought were important for all children because I agree. As a child who didn't get to learn those morals from home, I am incredibly grateful to Walt Disney's gift of the presentation and accessibility of such moral messages.
3. Romance & Couples (& Accuracy)- My mother rarely ever 発言しました "I 愛 you" to me growing up and I didn't feel much loved as a child. Watching the happiness of the princesses in 愛 and the way it made all of the abuse and hardships in their lives worth it, was something I couldn't help but deep down dream of. I am fortunate enough in life to have found that and so I only appreciate that presentation even もっと見る as well. Again similar to #1 & #2, the "Prince Charming" showed the kind of man who could make those dreams come true. This is why I appreciate the princes who seem genuinely in 愛 and not the bad boys miraculously turned good which is completely unrealistic in my opinion. I found a gentleman as a husband and I don't believe an ex-criminal would've been a better mate option in any way, shape または form. Sorry, that's just my opinion. So I 愛 the もっと見る realistic couples that have believable happy endings because in a way, I do see them as a guide.
4. Family-Friendly Comedy- I'm a bit quirky. I 愛 mid-western humor. I 愛 hardy-har-hars, I 愛 puns, I 愛 word-play and set up jokes. I just do. I think innocent humor is the best humor because it's the most clever, in my opinion. I like some dark humor as well personally but I don't like "toilet humor" which is essentially very immature humor that usually contains unnecessary violence または things pertaining to bodily fluids または parts.
5. How much I 愛 the Score- To me, a score really makes a film. I 愛 when the score just really captures the scene and everything about it. The better the score is in the background, the もっと見る likely I am to enjoy the film and want to see it multiple times. Perhaps this is because I have such a 愛 and appreciation for classical music.
6. Emphasis on Virtuous Characters- Similar to #1-3, I like when the story doesn't just 表示する the virtuous characters but puts enough of an emphasis on them that あなた understand their virtue is important. If they are not virtuous then I like to see how that doesn't work for them and why we strive to be virtuous; why it's necessary and important. If I didn't have a reason to challenge the way my family behaved, I'd be an awful person too. I also might not have never challenged myself to get out on my own where I met my very own prince. (My story is like a mix of Cinderella, Tiana & Rapunzel)
7. Prince Rescuing Princess Scene- Yes, I'm a sucker for it. I'm not a feminist, I'm an egalitarian and humanist. I value gender roles. Since I know many of あなた might get upset at that, please allow me to further explain a bit: I am slightly over 5' tall and very petite size as a result of my high mixture of Asian genetics. My husband is taller, stronger and smarter than me and that doesn't bother me nor does it make me feel like less of a woman または less of a human または citizen. I am proud of my husband and he thinks highly of me as well. I 愛 the things he can do for me that I cannot do for myself and appreciate his willingness to do them for me (just as he feels the same in reverse). When I see the rescue scenes, I see that 愛 and dedication. I 愛 seeing the prince doing something for the princess that she cannot do for herself because that is when she is the most dependent on him and when he is coming through for her the most. That is the way I see it. I like to see the scenes where the princess rescues the prince as well but I know how much it means to a male to be able to come through for the women he loves like that a little more. This has to do with genetics によって the way: since men were expected to protect and provide, they grew accustomed to it as a way to measure their value in society and to a mate.
8. Intriguing Story/Film- Completely subjective but I prefer films that don't have any "dull moments" to me. I don't mind slow pace so I don't mean dull as in slow, I mean a lull in the story that doesn't actually make sense. I 愛 plenty of films with slow paces.
2nd Most Valued Elements:
9. How good I think the 全体, 全体的です soundtrack is.- Similar to the score, songs are very important to me in a DP film. I'm not the biggest musical ファン at all but I 愛 the musical elements of the DP films. They determine how many times I can watch the film again after I've already seen it, hence loving it.
10. Character of Princess- Very important to me. Aside from the virtuous qualities and emphasis, I like a balanced character in a DP who is feminine but not overly feminine like Marilyn Monroe as well as not completely rejecting または exploitive of her femininity like Gloria Steinem. I prefer a DP who is comfortable enough in herself and her femininity to not be an extreme personality.
11. Film Opening Sequence- The opening is what draws me in! Similar to 読書 a book, I want the opening to grasp me and really pull me into the enchantment of the story. Some DP films have such memorable beginnings and I 愛 them!
12. Beauty of Princess- I 愛 the old school fairy tales where the Princess was very beautiful yet didn't exploit that. That means a lot to me in a woman. Having beauty is having a gift just like strength または intelligence which one can use for the betterment of others または against them. As a little girl, I loved seeing the beautiful princesses because they just made me feel happy. Their smile was beautiful, like a painting and it brightened up the environment around me. I value this beauty for that reason. I 愛 the stories of how a beautiful woman would use her beauty for peace not war.
3rd Most Valued Elements:
13. How much I 愛 the Songs- Similar to score and soundtrack, I care a lot about the songs in the film but not quite as much as I care about the score and 全体, 全体的です soundtrack. Songs do make the film memorable though and again, determine how re-watchable it is for me.
14. Character of Prince- Similar to #3 (Romance/Couples), I value a prince who has a good character. The reason I value the romance and couple もっと見る than the prince himself is because I care about the balance of the couple. I believe 愛 brings out the best in us so I don't mind a character change in the prince if it realistic and honorable. I do want the prince to be of good character before any princess decides to marry him though. That is very important to me.
15. Film Ending Sequence- Similar to the film opening, I really care about the way the film ends. If I don't like the ending then it sort of leaves a bad taste for me towards the entire film. I guess I just really don't like that disappointment. I prefer the "happily ever after" endings to DP films the absolute most.
16. Entertaining/Frightening/Relatable Villains- A villain is a completely huge part of the DP films to me. Sometimes they have as much screen time as the DPs and often もっと見る than the princes. I have found that the films I like the most tend to have the villains that I find to either be the most entertaining, frightening または relatable. Any 1 of those 3 can make the entire film a little better to me.
17. Splendor & Wonder of Magic- ディズニー is associated with magic to me: ディズニー magic! All of the early animated films had a big emphasis on the splendor and wonder of magic and I loved that. They left big impressions on me and made me admire the film much more. After all, I consider them all fairy tales, remember? :D
18. Animal Friends, Sidekicks & Fairy Helpers- Similar to the lines of magic, I 愛 the unrealistic things we get to see in ディズニー films. One of my お気に入り things about the earlier DPs was their ability to talk to animals. It's one of those unique rare things that made the princess a "Disney princess" to me. I was never a ファン of the "let's make every kind of girl out there into her own version of a DP". I think that's kind of an attack on the "princesses" and I don't see why they don't just make them something else like heroines if they don't really want them to be princesses. Anyways, I think 表示中 the animal friends, sidekicks and fairy helpers is important because as humans, we were not made to journey alone. As much as I did for myself to get out of my bad past situation, I couldn't have done it without the help of others here and there and I appreciate them a lot for it so I 愛 that ディズニー films 表示する that A) we do need help from others and B) if we are good people, others will want to help us just as we naturally want to help them.
4th Most Valued Elements:
19. Landscapes, Colors, Animation, etc.- The アニメーション is not as important to me as it is with most people of the modern generation because I don't actually really care about that specific part as much. I don't really see it as relevant to the story または my connecting with the film but I do like certain landscape shots and Colors（色） used that do make the film much もっと見る aesthetically pleasing.
20. How much I like the Fashion Style of ディズニー Princess- I 愛 dresses. I really do. I never got to wear them growing up, I was in jeans and a T-Shirt または sweater most everyday as a child and teenager. I have always loved dresses though as something about them is just so pleasing. I 愛 to see the DPs in beautiful dresses that match their beautiful looks and personalities. I even modeled my wedding dress after Belle's yellow ガウン because I was so in 愛 with it.
5th Most Valued Elements:
21. Personal Relatability to Princess & Story- Not as important to me as it probably is for others. I do like when I can personally relate to the story and it will make me like the film a little もっと見る for that but I don't like it that much more. So it's a factor but a small one.
22. How much I 愛 the Princess Parents in relation to story.- Another small factor, especially since most DP films don't 表示する the parents of the princess. When they do, however, just as I 愛 seeing role model princesses and princes, so I 愛 seeing role model parents. It also helped me see how wrong my parent was and I appreciate being able to see what a real loving parent looks and acts like.
23. Dance Sequence- A small factor but definitely is a factor. I'm a sucker for dance scenes in films, they really mean a lot to me. They can make me feel so optimistic and I 愛 the serenity I get from watching a graceful waltz. In high school, I danced everyday as a way of getting my frustration out and I loved it a lot so it always has a special place in my heart. I also find the waltzes in DP films to be incredibly heartwarming and romantic. <3
24. Realistic Relativity- Since it's a DP film, this is the factor that I put the least value in because I appreciate the splendor of magic a little more. That being said, I really do like when a film has a realistic story または character(s) in terms of something that I can actually try to achieve または understand. If the whole thing is fake and very "Hollywood" style, it does make it a little disappointing to me because it's not 表示中 a possible solution to certain things which I think can sometimes be a bit harmful, especially considering children are the primary audience of DP films and very easily influenced.
So according to those factors above here are my personal rankings:
12. Tangled:- I like Rapunzel as a Princess role model, she is very charming and played によって Mandy Moore who I like a lot. While I value the moral of the story, I don't like it's presentation at all. I don't like the romance between Rapunzel & Eugene as I don't feel he is a redeemed character または worthy of Rapunzel. Realistically I see him as a guy who hit the jackpot with the perfect girl to take advantage of. Not romantic. I don't like the fact that he takes Rapunzel to a bar either, where ディズニー went far too "Hollywood" unrealistic によって having Rapunzel charm the criminal thugs so as not to do their お気に入り crimes on her. Terrible, terrible, terrible to me! While they put a big emphasis in that way on her virtue, there wasn't nearly enough emphasis on her virtue requiring an equally virtuous man so that really disappoints me immensely. I didn't like most of the humor in the film as well as it was mostly unnecessary violence that had no real intelligence to it. The soundtrack is okay but my least favorite. I don't find the score very memorable and while I like some songs, I only really 愛 "Mother Knows Best & Reprise". A big part of that is because of how much I do like the villain character of Mother Gothel who reminds me a lot of my actual mother. She is one of my お気に入り villains. I like Pascal a lot as well but that's about it. I don't like the film opening または ending and I didn't like the way the film used and portrayed magic. I also thought having Rapunzel be so talented without tapping into that もっと見る and 表示中 them come in handy もっと見る was a bit of a waste. While there's quite a bit of the story that I can personally relate to, it's just not a well executed film in my opinion.
11. Princess and the Frog- Not as good a role model as Rapunzel though much もっと見る genuine. I appreciate the 全体, 全体的です moral of the film but I also don't think ディズニー went about the best way to present it. If Naveen was shown actually working もっと見る at the restaurant and finding his own balance as well, I think it would've been a lot better. I don't like them as a couple because realistically I just see him taking advantage of her hard working attitude. Not a romance worth looking up to and certainly not one I'd recommend any girl to pursue. The humor in this is atrocious to me and very improper for children. I don't like jokes that make "flashing" sound like a proper, right または good thing to do and I hate that the film is set in New Orleans during Mardi Gras where that happens the whole time though they didn't 表示する that. I didn't like Charlotte's spoiled and rude character at all nor the way she was talking to the 6 & 1/2 年 old about waiting for him to get older so she could marry a prince. Especially considering all of the women who have been molesting boys in school, this was just disgusting and offensive to me. There are also plenty of scenes with 線, レイ involving mucus and inappropriate word play and circumstantial jokes that I just found to be awful. I often found myself tuning out of the film for multitude of reasons. I didn't like the villain, I didn't think he was entertaining, frightening または relatable. I didn't like 線, レイ または Mama Odie and Louis was okay, I guess. Another example of the film's incredibly inappropriate humor was when Mama Odie kissed a snake on the lips, so gross. I did 愛 the opening with Tiana's mother 読書 the fairy tale story as well as the beautiful song "Evening Star". I also thought it had a cute ending though I wished there was もっと見る from Naveen. Some of the songs are really good and catchy and Tiana's parents are some of my favorites. I can relate to her a lot because I worked 2 jobs after high school to get my own apartment によって the age of 19. I understand Tiana on a deep level and where she comes from but I appreciate her much もっと見る than the film.
10. Brave- Another one with a great message but I just don't think was executed that well. I think this film is ironically too mature for the young audiences it is intended for. I agree with many others that the feminists got too much input in this film and it's realistic aspects suffered for it. I completely believe Merida would be as good a shot as she is, since they 表示する her training so young with her father but her taking on a くま, クマ によって herself is way too unrealistic. I think totally inaccurate portrayals like that are much too harmful for young girls who are influential and don't realize how fake the TV is. If she had used magic to defeat the bear, that would've been もっと見る realistic. That is my number one problem with the film. 次 to that, I also didn't appreciate some of the crude humor. I was completely not okay with the scene that had Merida's father and all of the other men's naked rears after climbing down the 城 wall. Although it's often over-looked, I do like the femininity of Merida's character as well as her pickiness with romance despite the fact that she didn't have one. あなた will notice there are quite a few scenes that 表示する her to be very giddy and feminine. The scene that shows the suitors being presented also shows Merida perking up at the biggest and strongest looking warrior until she realizes he's not a suitor. This shows me that Merida was open to romance, if it was some great warrior like her father. I can completely respect that in a woman. I like the songs and scores of the film though they are not the most memorable to me. I didn't really like the villain and think they didn't make him enough of a villain in the story. I understand why but I don't agree and wish they would've made it work. I think Angus is cool but I don't like the little brothers until they have their character change. The witch is really annoying and unpleasant to me. I absolutely adore the beginning of the film with toddler Merida looking so adorable and heartwarming! I 愛 her interactions with her parents and the will-o-the-wisp as well as the way they introduced the legend. I also liked the ending, having Merida and her mother making the new quilt together and going horseback riding together. I thought that was sweet. Decent film but just not one of my お気に入り compared to the others.
9. Mulan- Please don't blow up at me for my opinion. I have seen many women who went to the military and speak on tv about how they don't agree with lying to women about them being physically equal to men. link They are the ones who suffered the consequences firsthand. They talk about how the female body is not physically able to handle the physical strain in training, let alone combat, and many women end up losing their fertility. This isn't debated, except によって feminists who don't care about what consequences those women pay as they're not signing up for the war themselves. I think this movie's over-feminist message is incredibly harmful to women. I 愛 the message that one must challenge themselves to become better people but I don't appreciate it being presented in such an unrealistic manner. It's incredibly unlikely any woman could ever pull of what ムーラン did and I'd rather 表示する women much もっと見る realistic ways that they can actually be strong. Aside from that, I 愛 the soundtrack, the humor is really great, the villain is incredibly frightening and realistic, the character of ムーラン is incredibly balanced and もっと見る feminine than feminists try to portray and Shang has a very respectable and balanced character as well. The opening was pretty cool, not one of my favorites, and the ending was a bit unepic with ムーラン talking to Mushu. I can relate quite a bit to the values in this film and I completely adore the parents because they remind me a lot of my grandparents. 全体, 全体的です I 愛 most of the film but don't value it's unrealistic elements and harmful messages that can be taken from it much. It's not quite as balanced as I would like it to be.
8. Pocahontas- There are a lot of things that I 愛 about this film and it used to be higher on my お気に入り as a child. Growing up though, I have changed in my priorities, appreciations and tastes so I don't value this one quite as much as I used to. I think Pocahontas is a wonderfully charming role model and I 愛 that the story is based on a true story. I would've loved it もっと見る if they had stayed もっと見る accurate to the truth though. I valued the moral a lot in this story as well as it's representation except the ending. What a disappointing bummer for me. I don't at all agree with Pocahontas going through everything in that film and not choosing love. Personally, I thought that was bogus and also why I would've preferred a story that was もっと見る accurate with her actual 愛 interest または none at all. The score, songs and soundtrack to this film are one of my absolute favorites. Same with landscapes, Colors（色） and animation. I also like the sidekicks in this though they aren't my favorites. The comedy is family friendly but too much of the unnecessarily violent humor that I'm not a ファン of, particularly with Meeko and Percy. There are many things I 愛 and appreciate about this film and I used to watch it over and over as a child but it just isn't as timeless as the others are to me.
7. Aladdin- The main theme that I get from the film is "The 草 often looks greener on the other side; Doesn't always mean it is." Others see the message as having to do with lying または staying true to yourself, etc but I don't agree. Every single character in this film feels trapped in some way and I see that as the prominent and recurring theme of the film. So according to what I believe the message of the film is, I really like it. I don't believe everyone is perfect the way they are and I wish もっと見る people told my parents and family members to change so they would not have made so many mistakes nor affect as many people negatively with their mistakes. The humor is the best part of this film to me. I 愛 the sidekicks, Genie in particular. I also really 愛 the character of アラジン as a "diamond in the rough". I can really relate to that a lot and I thought they portrayed him really well. I don't think ジャスミン is any kind of princess worth looking up to at all, I think she's the example of exactly what women should strive to not be like. I find her to be incredibly bitter, rude and unpleasant which degrades the entire film and romance in it for me. She is similar to Naveen and Eugene to me, in that she didn't have much character redemption to earn アラジン as her mate. She is really gorgeous though so I do appreciate that. I really like the soundtrack to this movie and I don't think the film has a dull moment. Aside from the magic carpet ride, there isn't much splendor of magic in this film. I find the villain to be one of the absolute least entertaining and frightening but I do think he's somewhat realistic. I like this film a lot but Jasmine's character also ruins a lot of it for me. (If she had been もっと見る like her character in the final sequel, アラジン and the King of Thieves, I would like her. Unfortunately, she's not.)
6. Frozen- Yes, I 愛 this film. How can that be, being such a ディズニー lover? I'm not that sensitive to jokes. Honestly, I didn't even consider them to be as insulting as most others did. I figured the older generations understood that あなた don't marry a man あなた just met so no one needed to be beaten over their head with it. I thought the way this film beat the audience over the head with that fact was もっと見る directed at the younger audiences who actually think the message of the older films was to marry a man they just met. I also consider the moral of the film to be that we cannot do things alone, we need other people and I 愛 that. I consider Anna to be the main princess of this film, not Elsa, so I rate it according to that bias. While Anna is not as graceful as some of the other DPs, I find her to be very virtuous and I think the film does a great job putting a huge emphasis on her virtues. It shows how there are those who will try to take advantage (Hans), those who will be inspired によって it (Elsa) and those who will do everything they can to protect it (Kristoff). One of my お気に入り things about this film is the interaction between Anna & Kristoff. While it is put in a humorous shell, I actually 愛 the blunt honesty that Kristoff gives Anna. I think it's Kristoff's bluntness that really helps Anna grow as a person on her journey. I think genuine communication within a couple is essential. I also 愛 the romance between Anna and Kristoff, it's one of my favorites. I 愛 how they compliment and balance each other's strengths and weaknesses. I 愛 how even after Kristoff resigned to the fact that Anna was "in love" with the prince, he saw she was in danger, realized he'd been right all along and immediately went back to go save her. I 愛 the character of Anna, I find her adorably feminine and spunky. I also 愛 the character of Kristoff, who I find to be adorably genuine and masculine. I also think that it's cute how Anna tries to act もっと見る independent and like she doesn't need Kristoff but によって the end, she submits and realizes that she doesn't have to act so tough and that he's not going to respect her less if she doesn't act もっと見る masculine. I think this film shows the value of femininity with their relationship and I 愛 that. While there are certainly some jokes in this film that are a bit inappropriate, as many of the modern DP films do in my opinion, I really 愛 most of the quirky, wordplay and set-up types of humor in this film. Anna, Kristoff and Olaf's humor are all right up my alley. I absolutely 愛 the score and most of the songs in this film. I also 愛 the outfits! I don't like the parents at all though and I believe they caused most of the problems of アナと雪の女王 yet get no blame for it. Anna was clearly already a better mother at her young age than Elsa または their parents. Anna really makes this film a lot for me but also Olaf and Kristoff. <3 Also personally, I thought a lot of points were made in this film against feminists without them realizing it. Kristoff saves Anna much もっと見る than she saves him. She also needs his unique help on the journey much もっと見る than she wants to admit. She starts off falling for the pretty boy but eventually it's the gruff masculine man who really earned her 愛 (and was like a total 50s-type gentleman, even until the end!). In addition, the trolls in the "Fixer Upper" song make the point that Anna has no ring from Hans which debases the engagement. This to me was symbolic of the fact that without the serious commitment of marriage, relationships are just casual and not as valued または respected. (Despite feminist attempts to devalue marriage and commitment.) And lastly, neither Elsa nor Anna are able to make anything happen for the better on their own. In the end, they needed help whether it was from each other, Olaf, Kristoff または whoever else.
5. Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs- The one that set the standards, at least for me and Walt Disney. I 愛 everything that this film did to pave the way for もっと見る DP films and I only wish that もっと見る DP films stayed もっと見る true to it's standards. It pretty much has everything I 愛 in a DP film. Virtuous and beautiful role model princess, prince charming to the rescue, evil relatable and realistic villain whose motive is typical jealousy and vanity, 全体, 全体的です positive moral to the film (you have the power to make your life positive), a fairy tale romance, sidekicks that emphasized the virtue of the DP and actually killed the villain themselves (best DP sidekicks of ALL time in my opinion!), and a completely memorable score and soundtrack. I didn't find it to be particularly memorable in the best way when it came to magic, at least not like some other DP films. I was a bit disappointed there was no wedding at the end または dance between the prince and princess but I did 愛 the storybook opening which is completely enchanting and memorable to me! <3 Overall, I really 愛 this film and I completely admire and respect it but I just happen to 愛 a few others a little more.
4. Cinderella- The story that has been associated with me my whole life, even before I met my "prince". This movie has made one of the biggest impacts on me in my childhood. This film has one of my お気に入り morals and emphasis on virtuous characters. シンデレラ is everything that I dreamed made a normal girl into a princess. She is gorgeous, virtuous, good-natured, modest and so compassionate. She is also a little spunky though no one notices. I 愛 the birds and mice in this film, how they are such a part of Cinderella's life and I 愛 how they make the dress for her, even if I don't really like that dress. I liked the fact that the fairy godmother showed up at the most opportune time for シンデレラ to get out. I thought this film had a great message about being a virtuous person and not letting great opportunities pass あなた by. I completely adore the DP storybook film openings and I especially 愛 the happily ever after endings. This is my お気に入り DP ending of all-time though, as シンデレラ is actually shown getting to marry the prince. In my opinion, there aren't enough weddings in the DP films. I 愛 how beautiful シンデレラ is, inside and out but I especially 愛 the character of the Prince. I 愛 the fact that he doesn't want to settle with any status-climbing female but wants a genuine mate instead. I 愛 the way they 表示する Lady Tremaine as she is spot on, to me. I 愛 how good at psychological torture she is because I think it's very accurate of bad stepmothers, または at least mine. I 愛 the soundtrack and I especially 愛 the romance in this film. I 愛 the long waltz into the courtyard and I 愛 the symbolism in the relationship. I never really found this to be that magical, admittedly, I found it much もっと見る symbolic. I know some people find the scenes with the mice boring and I can see where they are coming from though I don't fully agree. I think there are a lot of nuances and details in the characterizations of the mice and birds that make them もっと見る exciting to me. Though I do 愛 this film a lot and relate to it quite closely and heavily, I just 愛 the other films more.
Now these 上, ページのトップへ 3 are the ones I watch the absolute MOST over and over, still to this day! <3 :D
3. Sleeping Beauty- Completely unrealistic, very unrelatable yet entirely enchanting and memorable! This is the film that made me want to be a princess. Aurora is the embodiment of a perfect graceful princess to me. I find her to be gorgeous and I 愛 her voice. I am also a sucker for British culture (i.e. Medieval style of film overall) as well as Tchaikovsky (i.e. main influence of soundtrack) so almost everything was working for me with this film. I think it's a great moral of the film that "Sometimes bad things happen for no reason to good people and we have to make the best of it." though I don't think it was prominent enough overall. I 愛 the dreamy romance of the film as well as between Aurora and Phillip though it's not my お気に入り as I prefer もっと見る realistic romances to ファンタジー ones. There isn't much comedy to the film but it certainly has it's moments with Vernon, the owl and Merryweather's character and magical fighting with Flora. I absolutely adore the opening and ending to this film as well as I adore the score and songs in it. Of all of the DP films, this is the one that left the most positive impression of the splendor of magic on me. I adore the dance sequences and the "Once Upon A Time" dance in the forest is my absolute favorite! So mesmerizing! I also 愛 and adore the magical 妖精 and while I 愛 how much they did to protect Aurora, I wish Prince Phillip got to do もっと見る as the prince in the story. He never comes off completely メリダとおそろしの森 and heroic to me since he always has the 妖精 doing half または もっと見る of the work for him which is my biggest disappointment with the film. Mostly though, I absolutely adore this film and everything in it!
2. Little Mermaid- Ariel is not the best role model for young girls. I didn't think that as much growing up but since I have matured, I have seen her in a different way. That being said, I don't think she's the worst role model a girl can have. She is flighty, disobedient and rude but she is also cultured, intellectually curious, loving, メリダとおそろしの森 and gorgeous. She is the absolute most stunning DP to me, above all the others, as I believe her アニメーション is the most consistent with her absolutely endearing and feminine beauty. This makes me giddy when I see the film as I feel もっと見る connected to every emotion she feels. I also like the moral of the story to not oneself culturally though I don't think it was represented the absolute best. Ariel & Eric are one of my all-time お気に入り DP couples. I 愛 how much of a complete gentleman that Eric is and how dedicated to finding true 愛 he is. It makes their romance so much もっと見る meaningful to me. This is without a doubt, my お気に入り DP film when it comes to the comedy (aside from Hercules which isn't a DP film). I think it has such a perfect balance of funny lines and funny scenes. I especially 愛 the jokes that are made によって Scuttle and Sebastian. I 愛 the set up jokes with the "dinglehopper" (fork/brush) and the "snarffblat" (pipe/musical instrument) as well as little wordplay jokes like Sebastian telling Ariel "you're under a lot of pressure down here". I think they are so clever and make the film much もっと見る timeless! The score and songs are just wonderful in my opinion, especially the score. I find it just absolutely captivating and I find myself ロスト in the memory of the film just listening to the 音楽 from it. I find it to be absolutely heartwarming the 愛 that Triton has for his daughter as shown によって his desire to protect her and eventually turning her human and letting her go. I 愛 the way Eric is so loyal and dedicated to Ariel that he goes after Ursula and I 愛 that he delivers the final blow to her, rescuing his princess Ariel. I 愛 the film opening, I adore the main titles and introduction to the sea, the マーメイド and Atlantica City. I thought it was all very magical and majestic. Because of the mermaid and underwater living elements, this DP film also leaves a very lovely impression of magic on me. The film ending makes me cry no matter how many times I've seen it. The music, the 虹 created によって Triton after the hug goodbye, the happily ever after wedding kiss... It's a perfect ending to me. I 愛 Sebastian and ヒラメ in particular as the sidekicks and I find them to be super enjoyable and endearing throughout the film and I 愛 the variety of personalities that they bring to the film and how they compliment Ariel's personality for the purpose of the script. Ursula is one of the all-time best villains in my opinion as I find her to be incredibly entertaining, theoretically frightening and symbolically realistic. In addition, I get the gifts of loving Ariel's blue and ピンク dress which make me happy to see and I never get over that Tour of the Kingdom dance, especially when Eric lifts Ariel. It warms my ハート, 心 everytime! <3 I 愛 this film A LOT, I just cant watch it all the time because it makes me cry each time. :)
Honorary Mention: Hercules- I put this in only because it would actually rank this highly with me so I thought it was worth mentioning. I never understood why Esmeralda/Hunchback of Notre Dame was put into the DP/film line up at the time but not Meg/Hercules. I 愛 this film sincerely. I 愛 how Hercules thought he didn't belong because he was adopted but then in the end he found out that where he belonged, was where he was loved which was on earth with Meg! I 愛 their realistic romance and how a true man can heal a broken woman's ハート, 心 when he really loves her if she lets him. I 愛 the sacrifice he made for her that turned him into a God. I 愛 the humor in this and I find it to be the best done ディズニー film when it comes to humor. This is because it is so rich in culture! Many of the jokes are subtle and あなた wouldn't catch them if あなた didn't know Greek Mythology etc. I 愛 that and respect jokes that require education and/or intelligence to get them. I absolutely adore the score and songs and I 愛 the gospel style of the muses! I adore the beginning of the film, starting off as a legend being told によって none other than the great Charlton Heston whom I admire and respect! <3 There isn't a single dull moment of the film and I 愛 everything about it. I think Megara is a very beautiful potential princess. I 愛 Hercules' character and how he's a sweet gentleman deep inside who just wants to feel needed and like he belongs in a community. (Since his just shuns him for his strength.) He is much like a male version of シンデレラ in some ways and I admire him so much for that. The ending as I mentioned is just spectacular with his choice and finding 愛 and his happily ever after too. I think James Woods did amazing as the villain and I adore Hades' character as well as the Fate Witches. This movie also really captured the magical feel for me since it was full of gods and goddesses and all kinds of magical things not real on earth. Danny DeVito did an amazing job as Phil, the sidekick, and I also loved Pegasus and even Pain and Panic as well. This film had great sidekicks everywhere to me. I also loved seeing the greek architecture and seeing ancient Greece. What a splendor of アニメーション that was for me. <3
Anyways! Back to the DP film countdown.... :D
1. Beauty and the Beast- Similar to The Little Mermaid, I cant watch this film all the time because it gets me and makes me cry every single time and multiple times throughout. It's so beautifully done and the story so beautifully told. What's not to 愛 about this film? I 愛 the princess and find her to be the most balanced and role model worthy. I 愛 the 全体, 全体的です moral to me that "A balanced personality is key." または "Who あなた are on the inside matters もっと見る than what あなた look like on the outside." I think the couple of Adam and Belle are the best done couple. I 愛 how they are symbolic of everything right with masculinity and femininity coming together, much like Kristoff and Anna. I 愛 how Adam protects Belle from the wolves, that scene makes me cry, and I 愛 how Belle makes him a better man によって example not complaint. It's not one of the funniest to me but I do appreciate the humor that is there. I absolutely adore the score and most of the songs. I also 愛 the way this film emphasizes virtuous characters, both によって rewarding Belle and fully changing Beast. There isn't a single dull moment of the film to me except the song "Be Our Guest" which now annoys me for some reason. I 愛 how beautiful Belle is and I 愛 the beautiful dance sequences (and that there's もっと見る than 1!) I only wish we could've seen a wedding too. The magic of the film, villain and sidekicks aren't my お気に入り though I do like and respect them. I completely adore the landscape shots in this film as well as the decorations all over the palace. All of Belle's dresses are my absolute お気に入り and I adore her style! <3 I also 愛 how cute Maurice is as a father. I also find that I relate to Belle a lot as well as her story because I also grew up in a small town where no one was really trying to succeed または leave the town so I really appreciated that part of the story as well. :D
So there あなた have it. I'd 愛 to hear your guys' thoughts on my ranking and format as well! :D
