Beauty and the Beast (2017) Review

Tale as Old as Time

Hi guys, I managed to see the 2017 reboot of Beauty and the Beast despite the initial boycott over the alleged gay moment for the Malaysian release, as I promise here is my review on the awesome classic!

The Story-Line

While the majority of the film is the same, I was very happy with a number of changes. Like we get to know meer about Belle's and the Beast/ Prince Adam's backstory. To which I will write meer about in another artikel soon. Speaking of the Enchantress, I always thought that it is the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella!
The Prologue gives meer details than the 1991 version, which we never understood since then. But, thank goodness for that!
I was also happy that Lefou became so disillusion with Gaston as the story progresses, ultimately swapping sides.

The Songs & Musical Scores

Many of the songs that we hear in the film, are very familiar from both the 1991 film and the Broadway version. Especially during the scene where Belle gets to see her room in the kasteel for the first time, they play an instrumental version of home pagina from the Broadway version of the animated feature!
3 new songs are feature in this film, and I immediately fell in love with them. Like Lily James, I was really amazed that her Downton Abbey costar Dan Stevens could really sing, including Emma Watson despite that there were allegations on auto-tunes. If it was, Emma would not have taken exclusive singing lessons with Paige O Hara, the actress who provided the voice for Emma's animated counterpart.
If u ask me, I absolutely adore Celine Dion and I was happy that she was asked to come back to sing a brand new song. In fact, everybody in the cinema hall including myself sang the famous titel song!

The Characters

I was very happy that the beast has meer character development, he also had a very similar experience with Belle because both never saw their mother ever again during their childhood. He also helps Belle to know meer about the reason why Maurice did not want to tell Belle about what happen to her, sadly she passed on during the plague!
Prince Adam's father was very bad man, according to Mrs Potts. At that point, I feel bad for him, but one thing I was very happy that he has meer interaction with Belle in this version.

Tale As Old As Time

So there u have, if u haven't seen it, go ahead and watch it!

Why all DP are role models

posted by lililc

Maybe i some dag , time geleden was guilty of calling some of the princesses "bad role models" , i was wrong, i realized that the fact that i don't like a character of don't agree with, them doesn't mean they are bad role models.

To be fair,i find some people saying "Princess are a bad role model for girls because "insert princess name and reasons here" . But i don't see anyone saying a freaking thing about the disney male characters . I did an artikel in the Disney club

It was supossed to be a parody of how people critize female characters but never say a thing about males. Nobody actually...

My Least & Most Favourite Anna (Europe)

posted by deedragongirl

I hope that u have a great time in Europe, Anna!

I hope that you have a great time in Europe, Anna!

Hi guys, since the Asian batch made it through the front page of Fanpop. Here are the European batch of Anna!

Italian (Serena Rossi)

My first impression on Serena (no, not her namesake Frozen costar, Serena Autieri) is that she sounds a bit like Kristen Bell. But, one thing is that her voice is slightly deeper than Kristen and globaal, algemene good job! (Ratings: 9.5/10)

French (Emmylou Homs)

When I first heard her singing Love is an Open Door, she sounds very bubbly and gentle at the same time. She does not sound heavy at all! (Ratings: 10/10)

Dutch (Nootje Herlaar)

Okay, I found out that Nootje is actually...

Most populair DP on Fanpop - countdown results!

posted by MaidofOrleans

Many thanks to M_gann who helped me come up with this idea and organized the first few polls, as well as to everyone who voted, commented, and toegevoegd their lists! Now it's finally time to take a look at which DPs we think are most populair and compare them to which DPs actually are most popular. Please take a look at link as well!

11. Merida
Actual rank: 10

Wow, I am legitimately shocked that Merida is meer populair than we thought she was. I've always viewed her as Fanpop's most hated princess, but I guess that's not true anymore! Unfortunately she's still very unpopular.

I'm going to tentatively...

Rapunzel's Birthday

posted by FloraorStella

So Rapunzel had a great beginning. "A single drop of sunlight" fell to the ground and created a bloem (?) that "had the ability to heal the sick and injured." Then because the queen was dying, the bloem was mashed up and gegeven as soep to the queen who got well again. And the magic affected her baby. The magic golden bloem caused the newborn to be born with a head full of hair, and already extremely active.

Wait, what?

Did Gothel take her right after she was born? Isn't that dangerous? Shouldn't Rapunzel be with her mother, be nurtured door her and everything. Like, come on, at least wait until...

A Korean Princess Appearance

Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Finally! My Japanese Princess Appearance make it to the front page, I strongly recommend u guys to check it out. So, now is a Korean princess's turn to see on how she will look like. Ironically, I also did a enquête on this too!

1. Ha Nui Lee (3rd Runner-Up, Miss Universe 2007)

She was the 3rd runner up in Miss Universe 2007 to her Japanese counterpart, Riyo Mori. She is my first choice for a Korean Princess, as she plays a Korean instrument called the Gayageum. So, she could also provide the movie some help!

Countdown: The DP Movies' Theatrical Posters, Ranked

posted by ApplesauceDoctr

We'll be excluding Frozen in this countdown.

Greetings! I'm ApplesauceDoctr, here with an evaluation of the theatrical posters for the 11 Disney Princess films. To determine which posters are the greatest, I've considered three factors:

1) The design (including layout and color scheme)
2) Intrigue (the strategy involved in "selling" the film, of influencing moviegoers to see it; includes the design, tagline, and impression)
3) Reflection of the film (how accurate of a representation the poster is of the movie it's advertising)

I'm attempting to look at each category objectively, but that may be difficult for the third one. My perception of...

Disney Princesses' Favourite Enya Songs

posted by deedragongirl

Choose your pick!

Since nobody had done this, I thought that I could write this artikel since I love Enya's songs!

1) Fairytale

The 3 classic princesses will definitely love this song, as the titel says it all. The muziek is very soothing and yet at the same time mesmerizing!

2) Wild Child

Ariel and jasmijn are considered fiercely independent, so this song suits their spunky background!

3) Anywhere Is

Belle wants adventure, so this energetic song suits her. Especially during the 'Belle Reprise' scene!

4) Memory of Trees

Since Pocahontas is an environmentalist, this sad song will be good and I would imagine her...

My ( Now Updated) Princess Ranking lijst

posted by wavesurf

This is my updated princess fan list. The biggest change is a swap-out/trade-placements of two princesses. These are my opinions. I will explain as I go.

1. Mulan
I’ll probably be a fan of her my whole life. She’s the most sacrificial character in the whole Disney Princess lineup, and I can’t help admiring her for overcoming her numerous flaws. Mulan is a convincing heroine, and her humaneness is something that I find missing in some of the Revival Era girls.

2. Ariel
She was my childhood favorite, but she doesn’t seem to diminish in my...

Why I Think An Original Princess Should Be the First Gay DP

posted by WinterSpirit809

So, with this topic on whether of not Elsa should be gay has been very populair over the internet, I felt it was time to tell u my opinion on this topic.

Before u get disgusted with me of anything, I have no problem with the LGBT community. In fact, my best friend is gay, and we often talk about boys and "ship" each other.

Now, there are a lot of reasons I think Disney should wait and make an original gay princess instead of making Elsa gay, I mean the main reason is I see Elsa as having no interest in romance- whether it's a male of female. I would much rather have a sequel centering around...

The Perfect Belle

posted by deedragongirl

Who will play Belle?

So, I have been hearing from many people over their disagreements about Emma Watson's casting as Belle. So, I thought that I would write this artikel about it if she wasn't cast at all, first no hard feelings to any Emma Watson fans out there (including myself) of to the actress herself. So here are my lijst of actresses.

1. Anne Hathaway

I first heard her sing in Les Miserables, she blew everybody away with her rendition of 'I Dreamed a Dream', she's a marvelous singer in her own rights and I'm glad she's a talented actress!

2. Keira Knightley

I remember doing a enquête regarding this 6 years ago...

Let it Go: Lea Salonga vs Idina Menzel

posted by deedragongirl

Who's singing voice do u choose? Jasmine?

Who's singing voice do you choose? Jasmine?

So, this song has been covered door a few artists, like Lucy Hale door turning it into a country version. Then, another Disney ster sang it, it is none other than Lea Salonga herself! Are u ready for a battle between Team Salonga and Team Menzel? Here we go!

Idina Menzel

While I enjoy her version, she's a bit pitchy in certain parts. Although at some parts she's very emotional and I like that, because she's very ominous like Elsa and I'm glad that I like her version.

Lea Salonga

Many of u know that she was the singing voice of Mulan and Jasmine, when I heard her version. I thought that she sounds even better than Idina! I would not actually mind her voicing Elsa anyway.
But I guess that they don't want Elsa to sound like jasmijn and Mulan!

Conclusion

While both of them are good singers, I would say that Lea is the best singer out of these two!

Mulan?

Or Elsa, Disney's Idol?

My Version Of Disney Princess 12 Days of Christmas

Since it isn't so much left until Christmas I decided to write a few artikels here on that theme, not sure how many I'll do, but here's the first one. u may not remember this song, but link in case u haven't heard the song. Anyway originally the song had the 6 first Disney Princesses singing the song, but I decided to redo the song a bit door adding 6 new princesses and their parts has new lyrics. I decided to exclude Merida, so the new parts will be dedicated to Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Anna and Elsa. I'll write on each part which princess that has that part, anyway hope you'll...

Updated ranking of the DP films

posted by disneymagic93

What I will write will be similar to what I wrote on the last article. Most of my opinions are the same except for Aladdin. I wanted to write an updated artikel because I finally rewatched Aladdin. Please no rude comments. Enjoy!

12. Brave- I despise this movie I really don't like Merida. While she may be a strong I think she is just rude and annoying. The film is so forgettable. I haven't seen the film in about 4 years and I don't plan on seeing it again.

12. Frozen- As many of u know, like Brave I detest this movie. The characters are very irritating & the movie was trying way too hard...

Disney Princesses: Feminine Attributes of Charm

posted by laylastepford

Charm-the Real Feminine Mystique:
"A girl need not have perfect features nor an outstanding figure to be popular. But she should have charm. As Sir James Barrie had Maggie say in his play, What Every Woman Knows, 'If u have it, u don't need to have anything else; and if u don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else u have.'

Once u have acquired charm, you'll probably never lose it. Especially after u have discovered how much happier your life is because u are considered to be that charming girl down the street.

To be charming u need not to be any particular age, weight of height...

favoriete Disney Princess Film Openings

My Favorite: "When You Wish Upon A Star" Score into the Whistle as the Castle Builds Itself Magically, Ending with Walt's Signature Logo

Inspired door link, who did an amazing job(! <3), I really wanted to do my own version with favoriete Openings. I actually really love the original fairy tale concept of the Disney Princesses and I love the openings that give a meer magical and fairy tale kind of feel. (By the way, I am primarily trying to stick to the first 2-4 minutes.) So here is my ranking of the DP film openings, I hope u guys enjoy this light read! :D

12. Frozen: Frozen Heart/Ice Opening
I personally found this to be uninteresting and irrelevant to the film's magic, fairy tale and princesses (mostly) in the film. No explanation...
