Here's the article for Pocahontas!

I know in the past I've made comments about how I don't like this movie because it's been said that the tale of Pocahontas saving John was a lie and I've also said I can't stand Pocahontas and John together because it's gross Pocahontas was aged up for this movie. However I will watch this movie and just enjoy it without thinking about those things.

By now you should all know what I write about in these articles so I'll just go ahead and start!

Tonight's rewatch: Pocahontas
Last time watched: Summer of 2011

How much did I like this movie as a kid?
Okay I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. This was a movie I loved to watch as a kid but at some point in the movie I would lose interest. Every time it was always after Colors of the Wind ends that I don't pay too much attention anymore. But as I got older I liked to watch the movie all the way through. I know even now I'll still enjoy this movie so I'm not expecting my opinions to change about this movie

How much of this movie have I forgotten:

Since I watched this movie recently compared to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Sleeping Beauty there isn't much I have forgotten about this movie. I would have to say one thing I forgot about was the animation for the people. I used to think Pocahontas' appearance was bland compared to the other princesses, I still think her face is a little bland I still love the realistic expressions on her face.

The characters I like or dislike is about the same; I still love Meeko while Flit annoys me a little, and Wiggins is still my favorite character in the whole movie. Ratcliffe is definitely a forgettable villain, while he does try to start a war between the Native Americans and the settlers, he doesn't really do anything except shoot John at the end and shoot Namontak earlier in the movie. He doesn't leave as much of an impact as Ursula or Jafar.

When I was a kid since I wasn't that invested in this movie there were some things I never really understood like the "strange clouds", why the settlers were digging (yes, even after hearing a song about why they were digging), why Pocahontas was sneaking around following John instead of just going up to him to introduce herself, the fact that she randomly spoke English, or Pocahontas's epiphany about the spinning arrow in the climax. I also never knew about racism at the time so I never got why the Native Americans were referred to as savages or why they hated each other.

The Meeko vs Percy scenes are still as funny as I remember, I always preferred their fights scenes over the mice vs Lucifer scenes in Cinderella.

I'm still not a big fan of John Smith and Pocahontas. I try to give this couple a chance but then I remember that if it weren't for the fact that she was a beautiful woman he would have shot her and then there's the fact he insulted her people, her intelligence, and her culture and never even apologized. I can let that second reason go because he defended her people and even saved her father from getting shot but the "almost shooting Pocahontas" thing is definitely a big reason why I don't like them as a couple. John and Pocahontas just feels like a bland couple too, I still don't feel anything real between them like the other Disney Princess couples. That didn't stop me from being super annoyed about Pocahontas leaving John Smith for John Rolfe in the sequel though (I'll talk more about that in the article for Pocahontas II)

I still have the same opinions for the soundtrack, Virginia Company and Steady as a Beating Drum are good intro songs but they're not memorable to me, Mine, Mine, Mine, is a fun song but doesn't keep my interest, but Just Around the Riverbend, Listen to Your Heart, Colors of the Wind, and Savages are, in my opinion, the best songs in the soundtrack. If I Never Knew You is another good song but I didn't grow up with that song like I did the others and while it is a good songs, I don't like it as much as A Whole New World or I See the Light. Colors of the Wind is my favorite song in the movie because I remember when I was little I watched the trailer for this movie and it was just that song, nothing else. Even though I didn't like this movie too much as a kid I still watched this movie because of Colors of the Wind.

Princess:

I still think Pocahontas is a little bland, both appearance-wise and her speaking voice, but I love how wise she is and how much she cares for her people and she is so underrated. Pocahontas was 13 on my favorite princess list (after Aurora bumped her down last week) but now she's up at 8

Movie:

While I like this movie more now compared to when I was younger, it still didn't hold my interest as much as the other Disney movies. The characters and some of the songs of this movie are the only things I really like about this movie. Pocahontas the movie was 12 on my favorite princess movie list but now it's bumped up to 11 (sorry, Sleeping Beauty).

Rating: 7/10

How much has my opinion changed?

Not much. I still like this movie but as I've said more than once, it still doesn't have my attention the whole time unless parts I love come up.

Would I watch it again?

Yes

Next week I'll be doing Princess and the Frog!

I was thinking about it at this morning and I realized it's different, the other one wasn't so planned out. Plus, I watched PATF yesterday (LOVED IT :D)

"This is the path I choose Father, what will yours be?"

Choosing my least favorite is always the hardest part for me. Pocahontas is just too serious for me, it's weird because she's the rare type that's kind of boring but still has a sense of fun at the same time.

Cinderella managed to escape during the night with her friends, however she had nothing with her to eat. Her puppy Brunno chased after a boy with food. Brunno jumped on the boy.

"Brunno get off that boy right now! I'm so sorry he can't control himself sometimes" said Cinderella

"It's okay miss. May I help you?" asked the boy

"Oh I don't think you can" said Cinderella

"You don't know who I am do you" asked the boy

"No I do not now I bothered you enough I should be going" said Cinderella

"WAIT! I have some food we can share. My name is Christopher by the way" said the boy

"Oh that's very kind of you....

Here is my opinion on the best and worst princesses.
I know some of the images look dumb but I edited some of them. Many fanpoppers know that I do not make images and I have just started.
I might change this order one day.
Remember that I don't hate any princess.
Please comment.

Kind sassy original

No. 9 Cinderella
I know there are many Cinderella lovers out there but she is my least favourite (she doesn't have a pink dress by the way.) I admire her sassyness and I think out of the 3 originals she is the most sassy. I also love her line "I have the other slipper" and the song "Sing sweet Nightingale"....

Imaginative Princess Countdown Results!

Disney Princesses vary in multiple ways, and how much they imagine is no exception. Some of them are very down to earth, and quite realistic, while others are very much in their own world, constantly dreaming and creating new visions and ideas in their heads. This is a rank of the least to most imaginative Disney Princess.

9. Pocahontas



Pocahontas was determined to be the least imaginative princess. This is mostly because she doesn’t having the flaming ideals and dreams that most of the others have, because she was generally unsure for most of the...

So back in my junior year of high school I was obsessed with Tigi Bedhead Products.
Bedhead products.
Bedhead products.


These are bedhead products. Me and my friend used to be obsessed with hair and obsessed with Bedhead's stuff. We bought their products with ferver. I made a checklist of all the stuff I needed to get. I got close to having the whole collection. Sadly, but probably better for my mental health, I am no longer obsessed with their products like I once was, though I do use some of their stuff still. One day I was bored in one of my classes and decided to write a tribute to Bedhead Products....

The four princesses followed the evil Maleficent to her layer. "Have you found them yet" asked Maleficent. "No it's as if they have vanished" said Gaston. "IT'S INCREDIBLE NOT A TRACE OF THEM THEY COULDN'T HAVE VANISHED INTO THIN AIR" said Maleficent. "Well I looked everywhere I will find the beautiful Princess Ariel and marry her" said Gaston. "Well we'll find them and just because I have to wait for that little mermaid princesses powers doesn't mean I can't enjoy the powers I have now" said Maleficent. "Yes since you too all the magic of the nine world good and evil includeing the villians"...

"When you wish opon a star, makes no difference who you are..."

Wow....when you think about those lyrics you... well i dont know....i guess you have a realization.

If you havnt noticed before those lyrics send the message "No matter who you are rich, poor, whatever....your dreams CAN come true!"

Disney was giving us life lessons before we could even tell that they were helping us in life...every single movie has a message to remember all great and important and just plain beautiful.

They hid this stuff well underneath the cute music and the fun characters but watching when im older like now i catch...

    As the five princesses arrived at their new destination, Belle opened her eyes in shock. “I have never seen such a beautiful place.”
    Where they arrived at was a beautiful, heavily wooded area with no buildings at all. The area looked to be completely natural, and there were beautiful skies, swirling winds, and a gorgeous waterfall.
    “And what type of princess is supposed to be here?” Jasmine asked. “Let’s go investigate, shall we?”
    The others nodded in agreement. Cinderella soon though,...

    Ariel and Aurora turned around and found a man with bulging muscles, an evil grin, black hair, and a very arrogant and intense expression. He smiled at them, and he told them, “Hello, girls, what are your names?”
    “Oh…my name’s Aurora,” Aurora told him.
    “I am Ariel,” Ariel answered.
    “So, those are your names. Now let me introduce myself. My name is Gaston,” the man replied. “The only thing is, I can’t tell you which one of you is better…” Gaston took out a gun, and then abruptly...

Princess Pea was not your ordinary princess. She was not sweet. She was not all that graceful. In fact, her own royal subjects really couldn't stand her. You see, the thing you have to understand about Pea was that she didn't know she was obnoxious. She considered it helpful on her part to ask her royal advisor if he's ever considered going on a diet. She thought she was being considerate to imply that the visiting duchess smelled like a sweaty armpit in July. Quite truthfully, Princess Pea had never known a world where people told her she couldn't do something. Everyone always seemed to sit...

I was on youtube recently link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx1MmY1Bb50[/url][/url] (If you go down to the 60 replies). Someone thought Belle didn't have a job (and the triplets did) because she had enough 'free time to read and became delusional about life in 'poor provincial town' (not my words). The exactly wording of what the user said was "I'm wondering that Belle are doing then even those triplets have their own jobs and responsibilities. Maybe idleness made her delusional? That life can be found outside of her town? " I pointed out that in historical speaking in those times women were...

A lot of people on Fanpop say that Merida is selfish and not not a good role model. Personally, I think that is far from the truth.

Merida wasn't being totally selfish when she went to the witch. Impulsive, yes. Her mind was clouded by all the emotion she felt and acted before she thought things through. When she asked for a potion that would change her mother, I think she wanted something to change her mothers MIND. Not her personality.
I think Merida is actually quite selfless. When her plan to change her mother went awry, she didn't even hesitate to help her mom. She went totally out of...

So yeah, there's gonna be spoilers, so if you haven't watched it I recommend leaving now. BYE! Anyway, in this review I'll go over the characters, soundtrack, animation, and story line. This review is probably gonna be really positive since I absolutely loved the movie, but I'll try and keep a level head and give some of the bad points in this review as well. So lets get started!

The Characters

Let's start off with the most important thing to me, the characters. A movie's plot can be terrible, but if I'm with a great character during that time, I can endure it, and Frozen's characters definitely...

I just had this crazy idea - In the next months, I'll write a series of 8 articles (well, I'll continue only if you like them, of course). The first 7 articles will be about separate aspects of the DP movies (Score, princess, couple, screenplay, villain, sidekicks and animation/art), and in the final article I'll make the average of the grades I gave the movies in each aspect and make my favorite DP Movies list = )

The first article is about the scores! Enjoy =D BTW, all the pictures I used feature my favorite song from each movie.

10. Cinderella - 7,0

It sure has a lot of nice songs –...

Decided that when I write my fan-fiction about Arista, that there would be a few new characters in it. I'm calling the story; Mermaid Tales. I want to use Ariel's sisters, as well as a few from the television series such as Urchin, Gabriella and Ollie, and Pearl. These are a few of the characters I came up with for the story.

You know, after a couple of years of loving Disney princesses and learning to love for them and even wish tht was my life, i have figured out a couple of things.
To my knowing ther is only 10 official princesses yet I beg to differ.
Snow White
Cinderella
Aurora
Belle
Ariel
Jasmine
Mulan
Pochantos
Tiana
Rupunzal
See, wht i think an offical princess is well.... well this is the definition of one
daughter of a king, or marries a son of a king
except they use monarch instead but still. So therefore 2 of those people on the list are actual not real princesses. The two would be Mulan and Pochantos
The rest make...
