General Disney Princess Discussion

@phoenixdaughter: Wait, who and who were in it?!

Wat.

Missed the premiere cause my cable box screwed up with the schedule. I hope to find it online soon. It looks pretty cute.

Travis Willingham is the king. I do not suspect all female officers are wearing tiny miniskirts in this 'verse.

He probably tried, but then Disney slapped him and said no.

According to my cable box's schedule, there are repeats scheduled pretty much daily throughout the week on Disney Channel and a fair few on Disney Junior too. If you have either cable or satellite, you have no shortage of times and options for viewing this. If you don't get either, full movie right here. Official and free. Enjoy, though I don't know if that link will work if you live outside the U.S.

This is a thing that must be viewed by all.◊

For a while on another site, I used to use an avatar of Jack with the caption "BRB, fangirls." I'm put in mind of that avatar.

"I'm not leaving without Jack!"

FANGIRLS!

"Never mind, let's go!"

...I'm probably the only person whose eyes were immediately drawn to Kida in that picture at amazement she was included.

Good news, everyone. I got my calendar. :)

Anyone who's interested in seeing the princesses interact as developed characters (some more than others) should watch the series Once Upon a Time. It doesn't admit that it's based on Disney but the best example is Belle. Unlike in the original story she has a love interest named Gaston, there's a chipped tea cup, and her interest is in books, not roses.

Since when was Belle's interest not in books, even in the original movie? She's the girl "with a dreamy far-off look, and her nose stuck in a book!" When she visits The Beast's castle, she is greatly engaged by the idea of the Beast's library, though her attention is drawn to the West Wing out of sheer impishness and curiosity. In "Human Again" for the stage musical and special edition, the Beast gives her the library, and she teaches him to read.

I think means the "original" fairy tale, where Belle had 3 sisters and the Beast was a pedophile.... depending on which version you heard. Once Upon a Times takes cues from the Disney canon instead of the older versions people are always complaining Disney ruins, even though there are atleast a hundred different versions of any fairy tale depending on where you hear it. The fact that Mulan is showing up next season is another clue.

Oh yes, I see exactly what he means then. That's good to hear. Well, I haven't watched the series, but admittedly, I probably should give it a look. And it's good to hear that it's renewed. Perhaps I'll catch up on DVD, reruns, or on demand.

It's on Netflix too, if you have it.

Don't have it, though I do have a free trial offer I never activated and might sometime. Perhaps I'll use it for that.

Yes that's what I meant. It's more like a remake of the Disney princesses than re-telling of the "original" (pre-Disney) fairy tales. So far we've seen four princesses with three of the four having some interaction with each other. Mulan is there too and interacting with the others.

How cool is this?

Assuming the electricity didn't turn her into fishsticks.

Well, she can open doors underwater. I think she'll be fine.

Resurrecting the thread because they've set a date for Merida's official induction into the line.

A small part of me is actually somewhat excited. It finds the prospect of this to be a bit...cathartic, if you will.

You dont like Merida very much do you?

Will Sofia be added to the line? In fact, wasn't her basic concept to get the Princesses to meet (she has magically summoned Cinderella already.)

Are the new hairstyles really that bad? I think they actually look nice.

No, I really don't.

Should a character from Pixar count as a Disney Princess? I know Disney owns Pixar but they're still different from each other.

@ Demetrios - What new hairstyles? Who said they were bad?
