Bonjour!
How is everyone today?
Anyway some of you might know/remember that I am currently conducting a series of polls in order to eliminate every DP First Encounter to find out which one is the best. We're currently up to the top four, but I shall do the bottom half today and let you know the top five when it's all ready.
I define first encounter as when the couple first communicate with each other and are face to face, therefore when Ariel sees Eric on the boat dancing with Max, I did not count that one and instead counted the encounter she had with him in Part of your World Reprise.
So when they were actually together, and met each other together.
I hope this makes sense and is acceptable.
(By the way, there are only eleven encounters... because there were only eleven couples including Anna, therefore Merida and Elsa will not be included.)
Also these opinions are not my own, however I might say if whether or not I agree with them.
Hope you don't mind if I use your quotes!!!

11. Anna and Kristoff
"Yoohoo, Big Summer Blowout!"
(42 people voted in this round, this choice got 38% of the votes [roughly 16 people].)

I can say I wasn't surprised by the first eliminated choice. Most found it awkward, not funny, and even stupid. Frozen is getting more and more unpopular (on Fanpop), and it seems this was one of the scenes that people disliked.
I agree with this choice; it would probably be my last choice as well. It was definitely awkward and a little bit silly, and just... strange. It wasn't memorable. I don't know.

It left me cold.
(... HA! OMG, no pun intended! XD) - Tygers_Eye
One of my least favourite scenes. It didn't make me laugh like the two predecessors. At that time, Anna is too talkative and Kristoff is too grumpy. I also don't like Oaken and his place. I even prefer Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People scene. - 3xZ
So boring, not romantic and in a ugly place -_- - Asabala2



10. Pocahontas and John Smith
"John's Hesitation"
(33 people voted this round and this choice got 36% of the votes, roughly 12 people)

I was kind of surprised that this scene left quite quickly; I found it pretty intense and emotional even through the lack of dialogue which i thought made it more powerful, but like the previous one it didn't seem to be memorable, entertaining, and it could have damaged Pocahontas' health... severely.

So superficial. At first you could say it was endearing, but the only reason he stops is because, well, she's sort of hot, again having a gun pointed at your face isn't really the ideal way of meeting someone. It seems so shallow, like the water they are standing in. - BelleRose829

And BelleRose seemed to be the only person who commented...



9. Belle and the Beast
"Belle takes her Father's Place"
(35 fans voted this round and 31% of the votes went to this choice, about 11 people)

This scene wasn't exactly incredibly romantic, I mean, the guy just threw her father into prison and then agreed to imprison her instead, while not letting her say goodbye to her dad while he left in that... thing. Not a promising way to start a relationship. A lot of people agreed also that it was dark, tense, sad and even scary.

It's just a really sad, scary scene, and that isn't what I want in a Disney Princess encounter. - misscindyspice
Not a very good start for Belle. I mean, she gave up her life and meets a hideous beast that terrifies her. It's not romantic at all, just sad. - fanlovver
Pretty dark and tense... - ajotma



8. Tiana and Naveen
"The Big Smooch"
(29 people voted this round, and 31% voted this choice, roughly 9 people)

Um, yeah. I wasn't very impressed with this scene, but I'm trying to keep my opinions out of it. Lots of people agreed it was disgusting and weird, as well as unfunny and awkward, of course.
It just occurred to me that Tiana was very quick to kiss her prince, I mean, it wasn't the special, magical kiss that every princess waits for, (and she did end up getting that) but she still kissed him.

This...just felt like filler to me. To make matters worse, it showed me Tiana's nasty side. I grew to dislike her more and more after this first scene with Naveen. Naveen is a jerk, no doubt about it, but he is more relate-able for not having it all together, and displaying "bounce" when things in his life take a turn for the worse. Naveen keeps his positive demeanor intact. It gradually became obvious that Tiana was one of those self-absorbed types who---- if everything is going their way, they are kind and sweet---- but should things not go their way--- they turn really sour and nasty to the people around them. - iwasneverhere
It was GROSS. - 324anna
Definitely. I just think it felt weird compared to the others. - avatar_tia_fan



7. Snow White and the Prince
"Snow White's Castle"
(54 people voted this round with 26% (14 people) of votes choosing this... choice.)

Aw, I loved this one. This one is one of my favourites, it's so romantic and cute.
And apparently creepy and stalker-like.
Some people even claimed it was cliche...
Cliche means over-used. How could it be cliche if Snow White was the first Disney Princess, in the first ever animated full-length film? I mean, it's probably cliche to us now, but not when it was made.

It's so creepy! I don't like "I'm Wishing" as a song, and I hate how the prince just jumps over her fence and starts doing a bad impression of Romeo Montague. - audreybrooke
Though it's sweet, it's just very sudden. I find the same suddenness in the scene with Cindy and Charming at the ball, and Aurora and Phillip. They're all sweet, but some kind of "substance" is missing in the first encounter. I kind of like movies where the prince and princess take more time to acknowledge their feelings. - iwasneverhere
tooo stalker like - BKG201



6. Cinderella and Prince Charming
"The Ball"
(40 fans voted this round with 35% voting this choice, 14 people)

I kind of liked this one too. It was romantic and dreamy and we felt good for Cinderella, however most people claimed it was simple, boring, and cliche again. They said nothing really happens; they just dance and smile etc, they don't really talk or get to know each other at all. The Prince stupidly forgot to even ask what her name was.

It's too plain and boring. Nothing special. - manu962
So boring, even though it's a classic, it's nothing special - loveclub4
Nothing really happens between them. - fluffyduckling



So there you have it! Was your favourite on here? I apologise if it was... :(
Stay tuned for the top five, which should be up when I've finished conducting the questionnaires. If you would like to take part in the most recent one and keep your favourite encounter in there, you can follow the link link
Hope you enjoyed it and have a lovely day!!!
Merci et au revoir!

P.S. Should I do a similar thing like this, but with the endings instead?
