Walt ディズニー Character 説明 of シンデレラ from "Cinderella" (1950)

The character of シンデレラ was posed in live action によって Helene Stanley who, to jugde によって stills of her performance, was even もっと見る beautiful than the screen シンデレラ - although she was brunette rather than blonde. In a 1982 interview with Kur Wiley, Marc Davis, largely responsible for animating Cinderella, compared the character with another of his "creations", Cruella De Vil:

"I think that シンデレラ would have to be the more...

Seventeen years after its first release, “The Lion King” is again No. 1 at the box office, wildly exceeding pre-release projections によって pulling in an estimated $29.3 million.

A 3D re-release propelled the G-rated animated feature far beyond its expected $15 million take and well past the weekend’s three debuts -- all of which had disappointing starts.

The No. 2 movie of the weekend was a holdover from last week. The Warner Bros. PG-13 “Contagion" grossed a surprisingly strong $14.5 million -- almost $2 million もっと見る than expected.

FilmDistrict's R-rated "Drive," which grossed an estimated...

Roger Ebert: **** (4 Stars)

Was there ever a scarier, もっと見る exciting animated feature than "Pinocchio"? I doubt it - at least not if あなた were between the ages of 5 and 10 when あなた saw it, and could identify with its blockheaded little hero. Pinocchio, who is not the brightest char acter in the history of cartoons, wants only to be a good little boy, but he's trapped によって scoundrels who want to use him as a sideshow attraction, and then he's kidnapped and sent to an island where he will be turned into a donkey and put to work in the salt mines all 日 long.

I remember seeing "Pinocchio" for the first...

Walt ディズニー Character 説明 of Princess ジャスミン from "Aladdin" (1992)

Mark Henn, who created the look of ジャスミン for the movie, had various inspirations. One was a theme-park guest at ディズニー World in Florida, whose long thick mane of black hair sparked off an idea. The most important, however, was his sister Beth - although an actress called Robina Ritchie did live-action modeling to help the animation. Linda Larkin, who gave ジャスミン her speaking voice, and Lea Salonga, who sang for her, looks...

Character 説明 of Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" (1991)

It was decided early that the movie's heroine should display a lot もっと見る spirit than the somewhat passive virtue of the character in the original fairy tale. The liveaction performance for the animators' reference was supplied によって Sherri Stoner, the actress who had not long before served the same funtion so very excellently for The Little Mermaid's Ariel, another feisty female part. Belle's part was spoken and sung によって Paige O'Hara, a...

Character 説明 of Ursula from "The Little Mermaid" (1989)

The Emmy-winning Pat Carroll, who voiced the part of the sea-witch (spelt with a b), is a very experienced actress on both stage and screen. Carroll envisioned the role as "part Shakespearean actress, with all the flair, flamboyance and theatricality, and part used-car salesman with a touch of con artist". She deliberately deepend her own voice, especially for the 歌う (she's naturally a contralto); in an interview with Lou Cedrone...
