I think we're reading her facial shape poorly because her chin is obscured by her arm, so we're filling it in oddly in our imaginations; she's quite attractive (although believably so) at the moment, but I look forward to seeing her actual face in its entirety, heh. My first reaction was "HOLY ...

What?! I disagree completely, and I think almost everyone else does, too! Maybe if they fixed a few things it would be...okay?! http://i54.tinypic.com/59sbr5.jpg As a design, I really like the high waist, the tiered skirts, the slit sleeves, and the little veiled cap—along with the earrings, it rea...

I think what we're seeing here as far as score is that Menken has stepped away from the bigger, more sweeping scores we're familiar with for the "classic" princesses; "Mother Knows Best" and "When Will My Life Begin (Reprise)" are the songs that comes closest to the the...

As far as the pimped out ball gowns go, I do like Belle's and the blue gown of Charlotte's Tiana borrows—but as far as just plain outfits? Aurora's Briar Rose ensemble and Tiana's Renaissance costume; she just looks so lovely in it.

I think there's a difference between bashing and legitimately pointing out the reasons we don't like a particular Disney heroine. You don't have to agree with the people who don't like your favorite character, you know!

I hope that the two extended songs will be fully animated; I'm led to believe that they were and then cut for timing issues. I'm also looking forward to the storybook openings—their concept art has been floating around, and I wondered what happened to them. (I wonder if Flynn was always going to do ...

What I always got from Belle is that she wanted something that was out of the ordinary, magical, etc. Of course, the "adventure" part makes it seem like she's talking about swordfights and so on. But I thought she got an extra-ordinary life at the castle, and she had an experience most ot...

Concerning Belle, it seems one crucial fact, the way I see it, failed to show up: Belle *is* feminist in the beginning, but her love for her father comes first. Initially wanting an adventurous life free of society's expectations of her. She willingly sacrifices almost all of that and subjects hers...

Goliath , I think we have to take into consideration how Aurora and Belle are presented by the films and the usual audience response to the two characters. For instance, let's look at the IMDb summaries for both films, which, since they're not official, show us how people respond to the two heroine...

Tia Dalma!

Very interesting points, Lazario . I've always felt like a bad Disney fan since I don't like Beauty and the Beast all that much, and academic discussion of it really helps. Bangs do date very easily; I think they avoided that admirably with Aurora, where it plays up her youth and innocence, but Arie...

The silver and gold kind of blend into each other for me; perhaps if the colors were a little more different? I absolutely love the blue one. It looks great.

LOL don't you guys get it? Esmeralda is a top class troll and cockteaser. That's why she's so awesome. Thanks for putting it so delicately, Super Aurora . ;) A lot of what I'm hearing about Esmeralda relates to the way she expresses and uses her own sexuality–yes, she definitely manipulates Quasimo...

If we must have another film, I wouldn't mind Flynn's backstory prior to meeting Rapunzel (how did he become a thief?), or maybe a short about their wedding or Rapunzel's coronation. But I'd much rather we didn't.

One thing–my favorite part about Wicked , the novel, is how we never see inside Elphaba's head and yet still come to sympathize and understand her; we are always reading about the way she weaves in and out of other people's stories, from their perspectives. I know what you mean when you say her poin...

I think this idea has potential–Maleficent has the same sort of open backstory that the Wicked Witch of the West does–but I'm ambivalent about Burton. I like him just fine, but as a director, he's never really grown as a director to me. (Although, hey, who knows–I think Maguire, the gentleman who wr...

My theory on the hair is that, if part of it is cut while still magical, it remains the same–but if it's all cut and all the magic is gone? It's completely normal hair–you can grow it back and dye it. In any case, yeah, I tend to assume that the face character is stuck in a particular moment–otherw...

That concept art of the King is great–man, I love all the Regency designs; as much as I love the movie, I kinda sigh over a missed opportunity for a green Regency gown for Rapunzel. ;) Oh.My.God!!! :shock: :o You guys will not believe what I've just discovered; a 5-minute demo reel of the "Rapu...
