Best Animation in a DP movie (Voted by Fanpop)

posted by princecatcher93

So of the comments from that Great Wall countdown.

This was amazing drama free countdown. Everyone was happy every single round and were happy with the results. Oh wait I'm sorry, I was talking about my Best Brick in the Great Wall of China countdown...Here we go

11: The Little Mermaid
I was sad For once to see this film leave so early. And I'll tell you why in two words...The Bubbles. It had amazing animation second Best in it's Era...sadly not everyone else like it that much.
Comment
"The animation is kind of dull in TLM. Except maybe for some things that pops out But,the other animations for the other movies are better." egyptprincess7 picked

"Overall, the color scheme in TLM Is very bland compared to the others, it still has some of that sketchy look from the Xerography (though minorly), and it simply does not stand out as the others. It is very dull compared to the others in the animation department." Jayden-G

10: Aladdin
This film of it's Era I think has the worst of the animation maybe because it came out during the beginning of more CGI in movies...but besides that none else really popped. Besides the guy's nose at the beginning of the film
Comments
"It's definitely consistent and pretty. But I don't think the best animation scenes in Aladdin are more ''impressive'' than in the other DP movies." dimitri_

9: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
This placement I think this movie earned for coming out over 75 years ago it still has some AMAZING Animation better then a lot of other films. But sadly it isn't aging that well. I hope for it's 100th Birthday, Disney restores it to it's true beauty once again.
Comments
"The movements in this film are way too sharp and choppy. It is not as fluid in the character animations. While the animation is over 75 years old, it is the worst, as you can still see edgy mistakes and the differences in the cells. Just being honest." Jayden-G
"SWatSD is put in a disadvantage." dimitri_

8: Beauty and the Beast
I was sad to see this film go out also Yes I know I voted for it but I needed help from I.D.K.. It's beautiful but after watching it again I could see the parts were the animation wasn't to hot.
Comments
"The most inconsistent" dclairmont
"If they'd been given more time I'm sure it would have been FANTASTIC, but as it is it's a bit inconsistent. Also I just prefer the others." MacytheStrange
"Very inconsistent. I mean.. Belle's face practically changes everytime.. o-o."CRaZy_rawR

7: Cinderella
This animation is beautiful for it's age just like SWatSD but everyone sad the only good part in the Dress. They forgot about Sing Sweet Nightingale.
Comments
" Why is it taking so long for this to get out? It has nothing special but the dress transformation scene." disneygirl7
"It is very pretty! I like it a lot, but it isn't quite as unique as Mulan and Sleeping Beauty, or as detailed as Brave." MalloMar

6: Mulan
I personally would put Mulan lower, but that's just me. It's okay in animated for VERY flawed a many points. The good parts are any part with fire.
Comments
"I appreciate the style atheistic of Mulan, as they were going for a traditional painting look, but the animation was pretty flat." goldenivy
"Mulan has GORGEOUS animation, it has a painting like style to it, but out of this list I'd say Mulan. " prussiaducky

5: Brave
Is has amazing animation but sadly the characters and the setting don't always mix which makes it look a little cheesy also the characters don't look that hot all the time.
Comments
"The characters can look very unrealistic in some scenes." goldenivy
"If Brave gets out I'm gonna FLIP!!! The animation is by far the most BEAUTIFUL" prussiaducky

4: Sleeping Beauty
The Queen of the Animation has been taken down from her throne *Cues Belt* Dah, Dah, DAHHH. After I watch Sleeping Beauty a couple times I get mixed feels about the animation. At times I see it as the best, at others I see it as flawed. This time sadly I saw it as flawed. To many color changes.
Comments
"I really like its medieval style, but the others are better IMO" Shiki_Otherside
"I just find it to be very flat and boring. Some of the backgrounds are nice, but nothing extraordinary because they look as if they are not authentic. It is a quite plain background." ProllyPosh

3: Tangled
Props to you guys for putting this movie the ranking I give it for animation (it's tied with Frozen for me). This is were details of animation really come into play. I mean one of the times when Pascal wakes up Flynn, it you look in his eye you can see Rapunzel in it. Isn't that cool!?!
Comments
"Tough...Tangled has beautiful animation, but I just prefer the top 2 slightly!" dclairmont
"Tangled has great animation for CGI, super impressive lights and the way they aninated Rapunzel's hair is so realistically beautiful! I just think that they can make their characters look like plastic dolls" shanyuisboss

2: Pocahontas
I'm just like Pocahontas when it comes to this animation. I'm so what's the word...Oh well. It's beautiful at times but sadly can't compare to number one in fact none of them can IMO.
Comments
"I don't see what's so special about Pocahontas' animation, the colors are so boring." MissAngelPaws
"Pocahontas is so much more innovative and has such gorgeous colors! Everything seems to pop and jump off the screen, you don't even notice the lines, and it is just so creative!" rhythmicmagic

1: The Princess and the Frog
Has this film won anything on fanpop? It earned number one for best animation. has details that go out of this world (Watch Friends on the Otherside to understand). The Lighting, the water, the settings, everything it just perfect in it. Also when the evil shadows run past one of the house, they knock a light over, would the other films do that? I don't think so, that's why I'm happy this film won.
Comments
"They're both really good, but I think The Princess and the Frog is one of the best." Tygers_Eye
"PatF is superb!" GreatLance_30

So there you have it. Usually I would ask if you agree or disagree with this countdown results. But you guys made your points clear OH SO MANY TIMES!!! So disagree all you want in the comments. Rant you little hearts out. I'm going to go watch Downton Abbey and have a great time.

You guys = Sherlock. Me = Watson

Jayden-G, Tygers_Eye and 7 others like this

Silverrose1991 Great article! I always say that, but it is true. Nothing else to say.

MalloMar I don't think I participated enough to see the drama...except the first poll. And maybe the SB part. Anyway, that aside, I'm somewhat satisfied with the results. Thank you for using my comment!

PrueFever Still can't believe that Mermaid went out FIRST!!! :o O.M.G.!

dclairmont LOVE the top 5 and totally agree that The Little Mermaid deserved to go first! Anyway amazing article! I had a lot of fun participating! :3

JungleQueen13 I can't decide which one I think should be last, because I don't think any of them deserve it (the animation is at least decent in all of them). I don't agree with The Princess and the Frog winning, but admittedly it is nice to see it win for a change!

CRaZy_rawR It was a fun countdown to participate in (if you avoided the drama o-o) Thanks for usin y comment, doll! I agree with a lot except for number 1. PatF deserves the top five, but I don't think number one. Great countdown and article! And dat Aladdin remark doe. XD

prussiaducky *flips 10 million times all over the solar system* wHY IS BRAVE SO lowWW *dies from lack of oxygen* *gasp* qUACK ANYWAYS MUCH LOVE BUT WAT IS DIS LIST FANPOP BE CRAY

Tygers_Eye Very interesting countdown! I actually agree that I think it's sad The Little Mermaid got taken out first. I may not like Ariel, but I love everything else about the film. In fact, I LOVE the animation. I keep watching it time and time again because I love the way characters move, especially underwater. The way the merpeoples' hair sways underwater, the way the fish fins move, the way Ursula's tentacles curl and wriggle around, the way the eels swim so fluidly around her body, I could go on. It's a 2D movie, and yet the way characters move around makes you really feel like you're underwater. Oh well. I also agree about Aladdin's animation. After watching it again with a critical eye, I realized that in many parts of the film, the animation is really not that good. The singing portions are gorgeous, and some pivotal scenes like when Jasmine and Aladdin first spend time together without knowing who the other was, but in regular scenes it can get downright sloppy. And the CGI is terrible. (Animators REALLY need to learn that new =/= good.) Also agree about Mulan. Some parts are pretty, but overall I think it belongs lower on the list. Actually, if I comment on all of them I'll be here all night, but very interesting list. Great comments.

Jayden-G Well, the drama would not have started if someone just not participate or comment instead of bashing the countdown COUNTLESS times. This was ridiculous; the fact that people could not respect one another's decisions. We have done this countdown before (I have hosted it before) and NO ONE was complaining about it. I am sorry princecatcher93 for that, and the shade you threw at us was completely deserving. Can't stand it when people b**** and moan about the entire thing and at us when things don't go their way. I still stand by TLM being last, but I never said and it does NOT mean that the animation is bad. While I love PatF, I disagree with it winning, and Pocahontas should have been. I still think Aladdin gets a bit too much hate on the animation, but it is understandable. I am mixed on the list overall. If you want to do this countdown again, IGNORE the haters and do you. People's true colors was shown here.

rhythmicmagic ...I-I don't even know what to say...

MissAngelPaws I don't really agree with the results. I think TLM should've been higher and Sleeping Beauty and Pocahontas should've been lower. But still, it's a great article and thanks for using my comment c:

Swanpride Honestly - the result of the countdown, and in fact the whole way it went disappointed me. We did it before, and back then, most of the people participating (with one or two exceptions) seriously discussed the merits of each movie, if the introduction of CAPS and the impressive ballroom scene is enough to make up for the rushed animation Beauty and the Beast has otherwise, about the use of the empty space in Cinderella, if Tangled will age fast or not and if the water animation in The Little Mermaid makes up for the lack of detail in the land scene...in short, the objective merits and faults of every movie, and while the final judgement was slightly subjective, it is not comparable with the "but this movie is beautiful! And this one is dull!" this time around. All DP movies have outstanding animation. All look beautiful. None of them looks dull. And I got the distinct impression that this was more about pushing the favourite movie to the top (which currently seems to be everything modern...it used to be everything renaissance. I guess the demographic at the club has changed?). This is okay when we deal with an entirely subjective countdown, like "which one do I like best" - people like what they like. But this one shouldn't have been subjective, and it is very disappointing that it was nevertheless treated this way from the majority of the participants. Sorry, princecatcher93. It is great that you went through the work and did you best to keep this half-way civil.

Tygers_Eye To be honest, I was really surprised by the way a lot of people voted and commented this time around. I'll admit I was sick with the flu until the very last vote, which is why I only commented near the end. Seeing the results and reading some of the comments, though? ... Yeesh. Usually everyone is so good, but like Swanpride said, there was a lot of... incivility and subjectivity here. I was full on surprised by how rude so many people were being, as that's usually not like everyone. (At least not during the time I've been here.) The comments and votes themselves were also less critically examined and thought out. I personally love examining animation with a critical eye, and will talk down a film I love if I feel the animation could be better (like PatF or Sleeping Beauty having backgrounds too cluttered in my opinion) but most votes and comments here just seemed to be "I like it, I think it's pretty," or "I don't like it, I think it's dull." Well, why? Colors, contrasts, tints, shadows, lighting, shapes, movements, fluidity, consistency of quality throughout the film, detail, designs, overall style? I don't know. It's not my place to say since I didn't really participate till the very end (darn you Monster Flu!) but I'm kind of disappointed with how voters and commenters handled this countdown. I almost want to do a recount with my own countdown.

Jayden-G Do it if you want to. I know I had a part in the failure of fun in this countdown, but it was a colossal of many things. Some of the comments were definitely shallow, and there was a lot of "I am right, and you are wrong" going on, which led to conflict. I don't even know when things changed amongst this club. I hope this does not discourage anyone.

Swanpride @Tygers_Eye You know, that is a good point...I never really noticed it before, but the backgrounds of PatF are kind of cluttered. This might be intentional though, at least for the New Orleans scenes.

MacytheStrange Oops -- I missed this article it seems. Well, it was enjoyable to read, and I actually even sort of agree with the list. Thanks for using my comment!

Is Aurora literate?

posted by Alantlm

(More a "question piece" than an "opinion piece"...commentary will be very helpful for my third and final write-up on Aurora's personality)

I cannot remember if I read this somewhere or if I misread something about Rapunzel who has three books... but Aurora seems to have 2 books?

Now, if this is correct, then I'm so happy! Partly because it supports my belief that she's educated (=obviously literate) well beyond the regular peasant, but also, makes her all the better of a role model which might make her 2nd fav princess now (Sorry Cindy).

Historically speaking (=14th century, 1300s), she is set...

Queenofpink's Updated Favorite Disney Princess List (with Anna and Elsa)

posted by Queenofpink

I had my list perfectly figured out. Then I saw Frozen. Now it has changed again. It's harder now than it was before to place everyone, especially after deciding I love both Anna and Elsa in addition to all my older favorites. My list could still change again after I think about it even more, but for now here it is.
13. Snow White
Well she dropped back to last again after moving up an impressive two places. (She's always been low on my list.) She just kind of annoys me with her high pitched voice and I've just never been drawn to her like the other princesses. I really don't like her hair either....

sweetie-94's Favorite Disney Princess Things

posted by sweetie-94

Got inspired by dimitri_'s article, I did an article similar to this when I was new to writing articles here, if you would like to read it clicklink

Snow White

Like I've said so many times before she's my favorite Disney Princess. I love how she always makes the best out of a bad situation and that she's both a child and a mother in the movie and how funny she is and her bossy and sassy side. I also love that she's an unjudgemental person

Favorite Outfit: Princess Dress with cape - the cape completes the look and makes the dress less plain looking and it's also my favorite animated outfit...

My current list of favorite Disney Princesses.

posted by egyptprincess7

Hello there. I might not be able to fully express myself in this and since this is my first time posting an article like this. So,be warned. ^^"
Lets begin!

11) Ariel.
Now,I don't HATE Ariel. I just never really found her all that interesting. She does have her moments where I like her at.
I did like it when she went to the Ursula to turn into a human. Most people think that was a bit selfish of her. I don't though,it was for love. She loved Eric and wanted to be with him.

10) Tiana.
Like with Ariel,I don't hate her. She was an okay character and I really liked her personality. I just...

Maryksand's review of Ariel's actions and analysis on whether Ariel was selfish.

posted by maryksand

I went ahead and watched the Little Mermaid for a probably another million times today, no, not for the sake of throwing myself into whirlpool of Ariel/Eric related feelings or fangirling over Ariel’s omg so awesome mermaid species and not even in order to procreate another lengthy and insightful analysis from the perspective of social critique and how patriarchy and condemnation of natural curiosity affects women but on behalf of documenting - in the most objective manner possible and without examining the thorough underlying subtext - actual plot points such as:

Disney Princesses

Hi! Here is my current Disney Princess list so I hope you'll like it! Let's begin with the bottom ranks...

11. Snow White
I do not hate Snow White but I also do not love her that much! I hate her voice and her eyes. Yet, I love her optimism! Even if how bad is happening to her she stays cheerful, and it is her best trait! She is also very caring and kind! I love her but I prefer the other princesses more!

Compassionate

10. Aurora
Aurora is very gorgeous! But the lack of her screentime really affects my impression on her! I know that she has personality, but I do not find her interesting!...

Merida's new look.

posted by Snickerz911411

I honestly don't think Merida's new look is the end of the world.

I mean there is a petition to get rid of her new look and it is ridiculous and I will tell you why.

1. "she doesn't look real" Oh well guess what SHE IS A CARTOON CHARACTER!

2. "in the movie she was so strong and the new look makes her look weak" But she was still able to climb, do archery, ride a horse, and fight against her dad to save her mother yet somehow because she looks a bit sparkly she is weak. You do know that there are plenty of skinny women who are strong as hell.

3. "this is a bad influence on my child" Okay let me...

Best Love Song Countdown Results (Voted By Fanpoper)

I, I Love You, Like a Love Song Baby.

This was a very disappointing countdown for me personally, hopefully it isn’t for the rest of you

10: A Girl Worth Fighting For

I need a love song for Mulan and couldn’t really think of one besides this one as everyone said it was more of a sidekick sound and not really a love song.

"I love this song, but not as a love song...and I don't think it's supposed to be one." Swanpride

11. Rapunzel – A flower.

Last place? But I'm the only princess with a frying pan!

Rapunzel is last on my list because she is just a bit too ditzy for my taste. The thing that really annoys me about her, though, is the extremely modern fashion in which she acts and speaks. (She uses the word “like” as a placeholder at least once during the movie.) Because of this, I could never really take her character seriously; I didn’t think it fit the...

The Short Song

10. Someday My Prince Will Come

I love this song I really do!!!....but....just like everyone it sounds too high pitched and when I first heard it I thought she was unhappy, because it seemed as if she was avoiding her tears while singing. Snow White's voice is adorable really but too high pitched and it doesn't suit her at all except for the lyrics and gender, unlike Justin Bieber.

See the difference?

However I don't see what's so annoying about her voice anymore.

However it's a nice song. Since Snow White always wanted a prince, tada! Here's a song about it!!! Also I felt it was a little...

Dear Diary,
After Auguste's funeral, my family thought it best that I move back home. I didn't fight them on this. Living in that house had too many bad memories. I wanted to be back in my Mother and Father's house, in my old bedroom. It was like my sanctuary. My family made the grieving process easy for me. They gave me my space when I needed it, and gave me company when I needed it. It was still a difficult time though. I sunk into a deep depression. That's when my Mother began her research.

Princesses from far and wide have failed because of his jealous step mother, Queen Sonya who has placed a curse on the kingdom that's so powerful, only true love can stop it.
