Disney Appreciation Thread

idc if it has been posted; can't stop won't stop listening

 

I'm a simple person. I hear Phil Collins, I like.

 

omg this song!! loved the muses

 

Oh, I loved zootopia. Jungle Book disappointed. Fingers crossed for Tarzan.

 

That feeling when your dog gets you a woman.

 

I'm still confused about how he got his hat back from that bench

 

so it's 7:30am and I haven't slept yet and I found myself thinking about the Disney princesses and I'd love a discussion

Spoiler

Belle's name means beauty and yet she's the princess who's constantly seeking knowledge. Is it because she's got the beauty and thus she knows that there isn't anything satisfying in looks alone? Is it because being beautiful does not equal stupidity*? Or maybe they can't have a princess just be brains so she had to also be beautiful?

Tiana is incredibly underrated. As much as I find the magic on all the stories inspiring it doesn't equal the way Tiana worked hard for her dreams and therefore it happened. There's a line in 'Almost There' that reads:

"Fairytales can come true
You gotta make 'em happen
It all depends on you"

Which is totally how I personally work. Inspiring af.

Once again on princess priorities, Flora blessed Aurora with the gift of Beauty and Fauna gave her the gift of Song (in the original Sleeping Beauty at least, they changed it in Maleficent iirc). I remember when I rewatched it last I was thinking a lot about the fact that the first thing Aurora was blessed with was beauty. I think in Maleficent they ignored the fact that Merriweather was supposed to weaken maleficent's curse and she got blessed by all three fairies but I can't fully recall right now!

Speaking of Maleficent - it's amazing watch it if you haven't, also spoilers - I reallly do love that it's Maleficent's true love's kiss that wakes Aurora instead of Prince Philip's. True love can exist in so many shapes and forms <3.

I think The Little Mermaid 2 is an amazing example of why you shouldn't let fear stop you from doing the right thing / whatever you want to do. They blocked the ocean with a wall and Melody found her way back because the heart wants what it wants.


/end strange late night thoughts zzz





*ty @Mandy for your thoughts xox

EDIT: Look at the one called 'Real Life Disney', I think Jane, Ariel, Eric, Vanessa and Snow are particularly incredible!!

EDITEDIT: omg and Alice and Belle too!!!

 

I'm embarrassingly late with this one but I just watched Wreck it Ralph for the first time and I loved it

 

So I saw this on Instagram a couple days, and I thought it was amazinggg!! Thought I would share it with you all :

 

i will sing this for my future children at their 5th birthday party

 

honestly think Tarzan is my favourite Disney OST. slightly obsessed ngl..

 

@Matty we know, I think you're already posted this like 4 times in this very thread (not that I mind) heh

and @Liquidity YAS MOANA WAS AWESOME!




HIGHLY recommend yall watch Trolls!!!!! Such a feedgood film, really funny, really sweet, absolutely worth the watch! <3

 

Do Disney video games count? I love them! Disney's Hercules, A Bug's Life, Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers, Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse, Kingdom Hearts and many more that I've played. There hasn't been a single Disney game that I've disliked. The most recent Disney game I've played was Ducktales: Remastered (though I consider it more as a remake). Every single soundtrack on Ducktales: Remastered is amazing but I like "The Moon" and "The Moon (8-bit)" the best!
