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 zei 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 keuken-, keuken appliances.
Now, if the average frying pan is, say, according to Wikipedia, 8-to-12-inches in diameter, and are made of cast iron. Using fancy mathematical stuffs and things, we can wager to guess that these pans are decently heavy. Turning to online stores, I looked at different pans, of the following weights:
4 lbs (Williams-Sonoma, 12 inches)
3.5 lbs (Amazon, 8 inches)
There weren't that many pans with weights listed, unfortunately, but I can wager to guess all average frying pans are around the 4 lbs. mark.
So that's 4 pounds of condensed force flying at someone - is it enough to knock them out? To Google we go!
An artikel from LiveScience states this: "A cubic inch of bone can in principle beer a load of 19,000 lbs. (8,626 kg) of meer — roughly the weight of five standard pickup trucks — making it about four times as strong as concrete." So, us humans are pretty resilient - but what about the big ol' KO?
Another quote from LiveScience gives us something close to the answer. "A blow that gives the head enough spin to go from 0 to 43,000 rpm in just one seconde has a 25 percent chance of knocking a person unconscious."
LiveScience is talking about punching, so we have to account for the fact that u can do a lot meer damage with a cast iron skillet versus a fist - the logical part of my brain says with that pan smacking someone, u probably have closer to a 50% chance of knocking someone unconscious.
So could Flynn and Rapunzel plausibly hit guards with that trusty pan and watch them fall like dominoes? No. Are they complete goners? Also no.
And there u have it, the math/science/word jumble behind the frying pan battles in Tangled!
Au revior!

So I did this awhile back for Esmeralda and Megara (and even further back for Merida). So I thought I'd do it for the other two main unofficial princesses. Funny thing is, Kida, despite being a princess, probably has meer reasons not to be included than any other heroine. But I digress, let's take a look at some of the pros and cons of adding Jane Porter and Kidagakash to the line-up.
Reasons Why
-Kida actually is a princess.
-One could say Jane is the princess of the jungle.
-Tarzan was a relatively successful movie, that produced a successful franchise.
-Kida is somewhat...

I hate to put this song last because it's absolutely beautiful, but the other ones are simply better.

Same goes for this one. This song is so dreamy and lovely, but still, there are better ones.

Anna and Elsa are both the two new Disney Official Princesses. They are both beautiful, caring girls.
Anna is funny, feisty and adventurous. She is very playful. Elsa on the other hand is very elegant, mature, and reserved. She seems to be very intelligent as well.
Anna finds a love interest in Kristoff. Elsa does not find a love interest. Before finding out he was evil, thought Hans would be Elsa's love interest.
If I had to pick between the two, I would defintently pick Elsa. She shows that not all princesses have to have a boyfriend of husband and I love her personality as well. Unlike previus princesses such as Rapunzel, Ariel who are always energetic, Elsa is meer elegant and quiet. She is a role model to me and she broke the princess sterotype. She is very beautiful. I love Anna's feistiness but Elsa is unforgettable.

There's nothing hidden in your head, that the Sorting Hat can't see, so try it on and it'll tell you where you ought to be.
10. Nani: the only animated Disney character with a normal body shape, she defiantly deserves a place on my list
9. Snow White: her skin is as white as snow and her lips are as red as blood, she grabs spot number 9
8. Eilonwy: known as the forgotten Disney Princess, stunning none the less.
7. Jasmine: her gorgeous Raven hair and exotic beauty is unique and sexy
6. Megara: her beautiful dark red hair and curvy body makes her unbelievably beautiful and sexy
5. Rapunzel: her gorgeous doll like green eyes, adorable smile and of course her famous long locks give her spot number 5 on my list
4. Belle: Her beautiful chocolate hair and hazel eyes (defiantly the best eyes out of all the Disney princesses) really makes her an undeniable beauty, her smartness and wittiness makes her 10x more gorgeous.
3. Ariel: I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for not making her number one. Her famous fire truck red hair and beautiful face has made her my number 1 Disney beauty for a long time, but the next two have just gotten past her, sorry
2. Anna: with her beautiful auburn plats, large blue eyes, freckled face and adorable button nose, know wonder Anna's funny and awkward personality has made her the official 12th Disney princess!
1. Elsa: Anna's older and more mature magical sister. To me Elsa is on a whole new level to any previous Disney princess, her platinum blonde loose braid, gorgeous blue eyes, lightly freckled face and gorgeous ice dress makes her the most beautiful Disney
