Why Ariel and Mulan are my Favorite Princesses

posted by zanhar1

So this is gonna be a kind of short quick article. But since I'm new to the spot I thought I'd kind of just let everyone know who my two favorites are and why.

Ariel

I like Ariel for a few reasons. One of which is the fact that I like her story line the best. I love the whole underwater thing and the fact that she's one of the only not human Princesses is pretty cool. I was in love with the idea of her trying to become human...and the fact that she traded her voice for legs was very unique. Her story was just a fun watch.

I also really love her voice. It's just so pretty and soothing and what...

Frying Pans: A Scientific Explanation on the 'Weaponry' in Tangled

posted by queenmeredith

Alright, so ever since I saw Tangled way back when, my mind has kind of been in a tizzy over a lot of things. Mostly, my love for said movie, Flynn Rider, and my desperate want to play Mother Gothel in any alternate productions of the movie.

But also: can frying pans really work the way they do in the movie?

I'm not one to usually harp upon factual things in movies, especially animated ones, but I figured it would be a ton of fun to figure out the mathematical (scientific? I'm not sure how to classify it, really) logical-ness behind fighting bad guys with kitchen appliances.

Now, if the average...

The Power Of Friendship 2: Happily Ever After (Chapter 19)

posted by mhs1025

Ever since Merida forgave Elsa, she couldn't help but feel a small sense of closure to her past rage. Deep down, she knew she also had to forgive Rapunzel. Though, she didn't want to. *It won't be easy, but I feel it'll give more closure.* she thought. Mulan suddenly entered the room. Merida couldn't help but stare at her hair.

"Your hair! I love it!" she exclaimed. "I thought I'd braid it. It wouldn't have turned out this good if it weren't for Pocahontas' raccoon friend Meeko." Mulan replied stroking her braid. Merida leaned back in her bed. "The 1st time we came here, I learned some things...

Merida's condition gradually worsened. The cut on her leg was badly festered, she was still unconscious, her breathing was rapidly slowing down, and she spiked a fever. Mulan, Shang, Pocahontas, and John were waiting anxiously outside Kekata's tent. It wasn't long before Chief Powhatan joined them. "How is the girl?" he asked. "Not so good father." Pocahontas answered sadly. "In times like this, we must be strong for her." Powhatan replied. Mulan had tears welling up in her eyes.

"Excuse me for a moment." she said. She went to Powhatan's teepee and began to cry. She couldn't stand the devastation...

After lunch, Mulan had a tingly feeling inside her as she summoned up the courage to Shang the news. She took a deep breath. "Shang, can I talk to you for a sec?" she asked. They went into their guest bedroom. "What is it, Mulan?" Shang asked. "How do I tell you?" Mulan asked. "Tell me what? You know you can tell me anything." Shang said. "I'm pregnant again." Mulan confessed.

Shang had the biggest smile Mulan had ever seen in her life. "Mulan, that's great!" Shang replied as he picked her up and twirled her around. "I don't know Shang. What if I don't love this one as much as Ping?" Mulan speculated....

A Rapunzel and Merida fanfic, Part 4!

posted by avatar_tla_fan

Rapunzel woke up.

She was laying in the grass, and she did not see the years that she had cried..

I cried my heart out.. Why are they gone?

How long was I asleep?

Rapunzel tried to figure out how long she had been asleep.

Then she remembered..

The Knife!

But.. That's only if I have no one left..

And I have no one..

"Maybe later.. I have to figure out.. How long I was asleep."

She walked around.

She saw footsteps.

But they were faint, very faint. She wasn't even sure if they were footsteps..

I'll follow them.. Maybe they'll lead somewhere.

Then she kept walking.

And then.. She found..

Hair?

It was red hair,...

The Power Of Friendship (Chapter 17)

posted by mhs1025

Merida really needed an eye-opener. If she let her sensitivity get in the way of everything else again, she could've potentially kissed her friendships with Pocahontas and Mulan goodbye. Incidentally, Shang would probably still despise her. Truth be told, her mother, Elanor, was right. She WAS more sensitive than she realized. The young archer was glad she was being taught how to corner her wild emotion. She wrote down everything Pocahontas told her.

"Every time we realize what's bothering us after cornering it, we come up with positive solutions." Pocahontas taught. Merida wrote everything...

Afew days later, Mulan finally managed to mail the letters to Pocahontas and Merida. She had been busy with Ping and making sure Shang was treated right when he got home from his duties. "You don't have to do this!" Shang politely said as Mulan gave him a massage. "As a loving wife, I want you to feel relaxed when you come home." Mulan replied lovingly. "Did you mail those letters?" Shang asked. "I did." Mulan answered. "You have to promise me you'll be patient with Merida!" she pleaded. "Mulan, I don't even like the girl!" Shang said.

"I'm asking you to give her a chance!" Mulan replied. Shang...

Melody's Nanny Chapter 7

posted by faya27

Chapter seven

When Ariel and Andrina came home, the family tuned up their ears on Ariel's story. Ariel glowed as she told them her tale. She made sure to skip a few events that mentioned anything happening between her and Eric such as how warm and soft his hand felt when they shook hands. When she came to the part about the job offer, her sisters felt happy for her,but her father raised an eyebrow, and Flounder frowned.

"Wow! That's great, Ariel!" said Arista. The other sisters nodded in agreement.

"Thanks," Ariel smiled. Nobody noticed Flounder looking down at the ground with his arms crossed....

Melody's Nanny Chapter 5

WARNING: This chapter has some unpleasant scary elements.

Chapter 5

Like Eric, everybody else went to sleep. However, there is one person that did not go to bed.

"AAAAAAAARRRRRRGH! I can't believe this!" A deep female voice screeched. Ursula came home late at midnight, stomping inside her house.

"What is, Ursula?" A young whispery male voice asked. His name is Flotsam. He was a lanky man around 29 with dark blonde hair, and dressed up in all green. Another guy, standing next to him, is his brother, Jetsam, who is also tall and lanky and dressed up in green clothing, only with dark brown hair.

Getting to know MadameLee

posted by MadameLee

Call me Anne. I wouldn't say my age because you would be embarrassed but think older then Elsa. I loved the 90s princess (Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, and Mulan) since I identify with them a lot. When I was in elementary&High school I did get bullied but that's a long time ago now. I love some of the articles I have read here on this site specifically the ones arguing about Cinderella not waiting around for a Prince to save her. Did you know that it took from the 1800s to the 1912 before Snow White's and Cinderella's respective stories overlapped? And in the 1913 some guy who had the last name Powers who would later help Disney with Steamboat Willie made his own film version of Snow White and borrowed the True Love Kiss from either Grimms' Briar Rose or Perrault's Beauty in the Woods.

Song Analysis: "Reflection"

posted by ApplesauceDoctr

Hello everyone! I'm Veronica (a.k.a. ApplesauceDoctr :D), and hey, it's been a little while since I've written an article. It feels good to get back into the spirit of writing. :D
So, what have I today? As you can see, I'll be analyzing the song "Reflection" from Disney's Mulan. I made a lyric video for it about a week ago and realized just how deep the song is! However, in this analysis, I'll also be taking a look at the extended version of the song. It shows a different side of Mulan that...well, you'll see soon enough.

Alright then! Let's take a listen to Reflection!

The Art Behind the Disney Princesses (Part 1: the Golden Age)

________________________________________________________________________________

Most people would agree that each of the Disney Princesses are individually unique. While most people take their stories and personalities into consideration, few tend to recognize that they each have an individual artistic style. Even though over the years their lineup has homogenized to create what we might consider Classic Disney, the design of nearly each princess was in fact inspired with a specific artist or art style in mind. I believe this is the je-ne-sais-quoi people have a hard time attributing...

Hottest Disney Princess

posted by JNTA1234

Even though all the princesses are pretty and attractive, one is just abit hotter than the next. So let's get started.

10.Rapunzel
I don't know if it has anything to do with the 3D animation but I just don't find Rapunzel hot. She looks an 11 year old and she's supposed to be 18. And her face isn't all that great either, her eyes are too freaking large.

9.Snow White
I guess we're not to supposed to find Snow White hot. She is only 14 but she looks a little older than that. Probably because she looks so tall compared to the dwarves. She's too cute and baby like to be hot. I like her...

I really like this song because it's so romantic but it's kinda dull compared to my other favorite in my opinion...But I'm totally in love with the lyrics like

Tenderly beating
Ever entreating
Constant and true'

TOP 20 DISNEY PRINCESS MOVIE SONGS (as voted by the public)

posted by princesslullaby

here they are....

"The reprise is beautiful" (KataraLover)

20. Part of Your World (Reprise)
This song is quick, simple, but very sweet. It shows you don't need to have a lot of metaphors and poetic devices to convey what you want. Ariel expresses her desire to become human so clearly and plainly in this song, just by the emotion and longing she conveys, and by just putting it into simple sentences.

"...the reprise is just unforgettable and beautiful." (TotallyMe105)
"Part of Your World Reprise is epic." (AllegroGiocoso)

"I think this song is really catchy and fun. It's my...

DVD Review: Disney Princess "Princess Stories Volume One: A Gift from the Heart"

posted by ApplesauceDoctr

While the Princess Party line of DVD's had the goal of accompanying Disney Princess-themed parties, the Princess Stories line has the much more general purpose of serving as everyday entertainment for young girls everywhere. As a result, there's a significant dip in quality from the Party line to the Stories line. We're going to take and look and see just how bad that decline is!

DVD Content
Just like in my last review, I'll go over all of the categories of the DVD one at a time. But first, it's necessary to talk about the presentation. When you first pop in the disk, you're shown a young girl's...

Physically Beautiful Princess Ranking

posted by laylastepford

Okay so some of you might have read link. At the time, it seemed to me like there was a group of very intolerant users who would only be offended if I wrote such an article. (Weird, I know, since many people write this article but I still didn't want the tension or drama.) Since I wasn't sure how to write a "physically beautiful" list without offending anyone, I didn't write that article and wrote one that I thought had better ideals: an overall attraction with looks, personality and demeanor combined. That being said, I do love the fairy tale versions of Princesses who were always the "most...

Disney Princess Wedding Gowns: Part 2

posted by anukriti2409

As I mentioned in its first part that this article is for those princesses who got their wedding in original or a sequel. I have re-imagined the gowns for all the princesses as honestly, I don't quite like the ones Disney has shown. The dresses lacks the effort as much as they deserve in my opinion. A princess wedding gown should be thoroughly thought through and designed. Cinderella's and Mulan's are by far the only wedding dress that actually fits their personality the most, in my opinion.

So here's my selection of the re-imagined wedding gowns for the remaining princesses.
