Belle put the diary down, and wiped the tears from her eyes. She couldn’t even begin to fathom the pain her Mother felt. Just a few weeks ago Belle had thought she herself was pregnant. Words couldn’t express the joy she felt. She told Mrs. Potts the exciting news first, and then they were going to plan a special dinner so she could tell Adam and her Papa. But unfortunately, the morning of the big dinner, Mother Nature brought Belle an unexpected and unwanted surprise. She wasn’t pregnant.
She had felt guilty for the longest time for not telling Adam about it, but she hadn’t wanted to hurt him. Besides, she had plenty of hope and faith that one day they would have a baby. But her poor Mother. Going nine months, thinking everything was ok, and then at the very end, everything went wrong. Belle didn’t think she would be able to take it. But at least in her Mothers case things eventually got better, didn’t they? She met Belle’s Father along the way somehow, and they got married and had Belle. Belle sipped her tea and continued reading.

Dear Diary.
My family thought it would be best for me to get out of Paris for a while. They sent me to a quiet village in the country. I’m staying with my cousin Marie. She is sweet, but she is also the town gossip. I’m almost positive the entire community knows what happened to me. Everywhere I go I get looks of concern and pity. I don’t want their pity; I want to be treated normal and forget that awful thing that happened to me and my family. Here lately I find myself thinking of Auguste quite frequently. Poor dear. He just couldn’t take the heartache of losing our daughter.
The morning after I gave birth, the family priest came by to begin making funeral arrangements. He asked me what her name was. Before I could even think, the name Noële came out of my mouth. Auguste and I had thought that name was beautiful, and since the baby was going to be born around Christmas it just fit. Noële’s funeral was one of the darkest moments of my life. Watching the tiny wooden casket being lowered to the earth, knowing my baby was in there alone and cold. I felt like dying right there. I actually prayed and begged God to take me; to make my heart stop beating. But he didn’t.
When we got home Auguste secluded himself in his study, and wouldn’t let anyone in. It didn’t bother me. I wished to be alone as well, so I went upstairs. I went into the nursery and lay on the floor. I cried for what seemed like hours. I must have fallen asleep because when I came to it was dark outside. I went downstairs to find that most of the family had gone home for the evening. I felt a small amount of relief. I had my feel of family for the past couple of days. My Father sat in the drawing room, smoking his pipe. I went to open the door to the study, but Auguste had put a piece of furniture in front of it to keep people out. I asked him to move it…but he didn’t answer me. I assumed he had drunk himself to sleep. I said his name a few times, thinking I might wake him up, but I didn’t have any luck. I went and got my Father and asked him to help me open the door. I was beginning to get worried. My Father called his name before we tried to make our way through the door, but he still wouldn’t answer. I felt a dark chill go over my body. Something was not right here.
It took us a few good pushes to get the door open, given my Fathers age, and my weakness from not eating the past few days. As I made my way around the bookcase that was in front of the door, my knees gave out when I saw him. My Father caught me just in time before I hit the floor, and he quickly picked me up and carried me out of the room, just the same as he used to when I was a little girl and would fall and hurt myself. I felt so small again in my Fathers arms, like a child. He sat me down on the couch and went to get the butler. Then it began to fully register; what I had seen.
I thought I was grieving. How selfish I was…thinking I was alone in the loss of our daughter. But he was there, the whole time, grieving with me, hurting just as bad, or maybe more. Auguste had locked himself in his study to drink…but not to drink himself into his usual stupor. He was preparing himself. I had written before that when I was on bed rest that he let me teach him how to knit. Well, together, we knitted a pink and blue blanket. It was pink AND blue because he was so sure the baby was going to be a boy, but I knew she was a girl. Anyways, when I came around the bookcase, I saw him, hanging from the chandelier, by that very same blanket. So now I had another funeral to arrange. Now I was a widow.

In the 90s, Disney was going for something different in their leading ladies. They wanted heroines who were COMPLEX, women who were INTERESTING, and they were determined to give (most of) the princesses realistic, believable, and unashamed flaws. These princesses were supposed to be relatable and a lady a normal girl could identify with. Perhaps this is why these princesses are generally preferred to the classics. These princesses had obvious dimensions to their personalities, and all were made to seem like a girl you could run in to on the street.


Ariel
Ariel is well known as the most realistic...

#10 Belle
The Beauty that fell in love with a Beast
The Beauty that fell in love with a Beast

When I was little I used to really like Belle, my sister is just like her, but then as I grew up I realized Disney made Belle with like no flaws she seemed perfect! I think flaws are what makes a princess, and over coming them make her the best person she can be.


#9 Snow White
The One who started it all
The One who started it all

Now don't get me wrong I love Snow White, she's cute, kind, is great with animals, and has a good sining voice, and I love how she has short...

This month it's been 3 years since I joined Fanpop and what better way to celebrate it than by listing up my favorite DP Dance Scenes, I would've liked to write my favorite Disney Princess list or any other list that I've written, but that I could update, but I decided to wait until after Merida's coronation so that I can include her too, also I've been wanting to write this list ever since I wrote my first article, so here we go :)

10. Ma Belle Evangelie

I love the lightning that Ray uses in this scene and the song is quite nice and I forgive this scene for that Tiana and Naveen are frogs...

And they Lived Happily Ever After…sigh for every Beginning with must have an but which of are lovely Disney Ladies got the Best Ending for her Movie.

11: Aladdin
♪♪♪For you and me… *cue Genie laugh* AHAHAHAHAH GOT YOU! That my friends is how you wreak an ending, everything was almost perfect if you take a lot of things from this ending out, like Genie in the moon, the rushed ending, the dragging on of I pick you Prince Ali who you use be tan but now you’re white! It just didn’t come together like a True Ending…it was rushed…badly.

The Disney Renaissance, one if the most successful times for WDAS from the late 80s to the late 90s (or to some people, the mid 90s).
(1989-1999)
(1989-1999)

(1989-1994)
(1989-1994)

This era is known for its amazing musicals, top notch hand drawn animation using the computer, many awards, and great critical and financial success (most of them), and the movie that is known to start this fantastic era is The Little Mermaid, which I think gets too much credit for starting the Renaissance, and I know many will disagree, but hear me out.

The Disney Renaissance was the time where a lot of money was made, which...

I don't know if I'm alone on this, but I've become quite tired of everyone bashing the earlier princesses and saying they're bad role models for girls. Personally, I think parents shouldn't be relying on fictional, animated characters to be the role models... but that's a whole different issue altogether. In this article I want to address the common complaints towards the princesses: waiting around for/needing a man, not being independent, etc...

Snow White:

I want to start with a reminder that Snow White is only 14-years-old. Face it, her story is no different than any other 14-year-old...

1 = Rapunzel makes the best out of living in a tower with her pet chameleon. She has no internet, no phone, nothing. Which is why I don't like it when people say she can do too many positive things, or she has too many positive traits. Her step-mother probably taught them to her so that she wouldn't be bored everyday while she's stuck up there.

2 = Rapunzel doesn't rebel the first time. She listens to Mother Gothel, and stays put. When she see's Flynn, she doesn't welcome him in. And when she does knock him out, she's proud to tell Mother Gothel.

3 = After she's out of the tower, she keeps thinking...

This is the first countdown that I have successfully completed in months, and this was an interesting concept. Thanks to everyone who participated in the countdown. Some films will age forever (or for hundreds of years), while some will die out in a decade.

Timeless:1. unaffected or unchanged by time; ageless
2. eternal

11. Aladdin

This one was the obvious first choice, and to be honest, is the only film that is not timeless out of the bunch. This film was praised especially for the pop-culture references coming from Genie but 20 years later, it is working to it's disadvantage. A lot of the...

15. Peter Pan- I find him to be more cute than hot. He reminds me of a little boy and I find that so cute. When I was younger I wanted him to be my boyfriend though. I guess since I'm older I'm into the more manlier men in Disney.

14. Hercules- I don't know what it is.. but I just don't find him all that hot. Sure, he's manly and strong but when he was skinny and weak I prefer him. They made him too strong and his body was weird to me.

13. Flynn- Blame it on the animation that he's so low on the list.. If he was animated like the rest of the Disney guys I would definitely put him higher. He's...

Hi! I've been a part of Fanpop for a little over two years and I realized I have never written this kind of article before. I know this is an article that people normally write when they first join, but oh well. Anyway, I've decided to write it now and I hope you guys enjoy it. Feel free to express your opinion, but please do so in a mature and considerate fashion. Lets begin!

13. Merida
I think Merida is more cute then she is pretty and she kind of looks funny from the side view. Her mother is pretty than her, but I think Merida has very beautiful eyes. Her eyes are blue (my favorite color)...

Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the twin tower.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the twin tower.
After all of the princesses and Dee Dee are enjoying their lunch at a Nyonya Restaurant, suddenly everything goes black and they become scared. " What was that?" asked Merida, trying not to sound scared. Then, a black, giant smoke appears in the middle and it forms into a black reaper-like figure.
"So you have arrive in Malaysia now, I'll curse the whole of the country into darkness and despair with the help of my friend, Jafar!" It lets out an evil laughter and disappears, then everything goes back to normal.
"Who was that?" asks Dee Dee, "that is the spirit of despair!" replied Cinderella,...

I will be adding some non-princesses to this list!


15- Merida- Sorry to say this guys.. but I find her hideous. I find no beauty in her at all. She's weird looking. Especially with the animation she is in. To the people who like her I'm not saying anything bad about her I'm just stating my honest opinion so please don't get offended.

14- Kida- I find absolutely nothing appealing to her. I always thought she kind of looked like a man. She also as white hair and weird eyes.. how i that beauty? Again, just my opinion no hate.

13- Rapunzel- I just think they could of done better.. I don't like the...

I just wanted to write a list but I remembered that I have already write one with the Prettiest Female Heroines in the Childhood Animated Movie Heroines club (the link is at the comments). I didn't want to write the same things about the same princesses, so I'll mention only the princesses that I don't think they are so beautiful. Let's begin.

Anna
Placement in my Prettiest Disney Princess List: 13th

Sorry Anna! I just don't find her so pretty. I don't like her nose and her lips are too thin. I like her eyes, their color is amazing, but sometimes they look kinda odd, like they're too close...

About me: I love to see the world and travel, I enjoy meeting new people and to enjoy their culture.

I love marshmallows and English tea, I am 1/4 Thai and 3/4 Chinese. I also one younger brother is autistic and he loves music, this is why he always listen to his i-pod whenever he goes...
