7 Messed up things you can learn from Disney movies

HONK!... I wanted to go to Hogwarts

We do "Disney kisses" in front of the kids. You know, that 10 second lip lock, no tongue, boring as hell! Wonder how Disney sex works...

Kinda like sex worked foor the Puritans, In and out for 3 minutes and only for the purpose of procreation

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

Honk if you never wanted to be a Disney Princess.

BEEP BEEP

I'm gonna cut them slack on the changes they made on this one as it is a tough one. The Prince is actually a rogue, and it looks like Repunzel's hair does more than just act as a ladder--it lets her engage in some bondage play

Check it out.

Nails him on the head with a cast iron skillet? I like it already! http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii177/1volupturary_manque/smilies/36_2_34.gif

That and it's perfectly okay for a thirty-year old man to have a romance with an eleven year old girl, as long as both of then can sing real good... or something like that. And as long as he's drawn younger and she's drawn older than they really are.

(In the real world, Smith did NOT have a love affair with Pocahontas at all.)

Oh, and "painting with all the colors of the wind" is second nature if you happen to be NA, but all those European painters were missing something.

I mean-- there are thousands of valid reasons why the English treatment of the First Nations is shameful. Trust Disney to trivialise the whole issue.

Of the 360 odd treaties signed by the Europeans, every one was broken, by the Europeans.

is a pretty little wife,
and a big plantation,
way up North in the Cherokee Nation."

Your understanding of Puritan domestic behavior needs improvement. From the diaries some of the ladies kept it appears that they were pro-recreation! Of course, it was only with hubby but . . .

That's why it's not been possible for the First Nations to work effectively with the NAACP or La Raza. The American Indian goal is to get Washington to keep to already signed treaties, not write new ones.

WTF is with all these drivers, man, who the fuck are they honking at!

Someone must be a really crappy driver over in the next lane...

I know right?

No fair, Stella--'fess up, you wanted to be one of the princes

I, on the other hand, wanted to be one of the fairy godmothers--or perhaps a wicked witch (minus their weird self-esteem issues). Who needs a prince or a princess when you can magically turn, well, anything or anyone into whatever your heart desires instead?

So beautiful! But I couldn't figure her out...if she could change her appearance, then what was the issue of making herself more beautiful than Snow White? Honestly, I didn't get her obsession. She had wealth, power, magic, elegance, smarts....why obsess over a bubble-head like Snow White?

She couldn't magic up sweetness, that's why. Even her apples were nasty . . .

Sweetness? What is this "sweetness" you speak of...and why is it necessary?

 

[voluptuary_manque]

It's a flavor. And if she'd had a bear take care of the little brat instead of some unreliable huntsman, this whole long drawn-out deal with seven runts and some flea-brained royal would have never happened.

That's our 3113!

I love meeting up with her in restaurants, we always seem to get the best table in the house.

Your raven hasn't got an evil bone in his body.

Well... maybe one or two. Three, even.

But he gives great hugs!

Stop posting pictures of the evil queens. You fill my harddrive with pictures that way.

Damn they were sexy. Still are.



Evidently, Disney is a little upset with the failure of their 'let's do more princess movies' shtick:

Disney's 'Tangled' trailer: A princess movie for boys?
by Grady Smith
Categories: Movie Trailers, Movies

Yesterday, Disney released the trailer for Tangled, a long-in-the-works adaptation of the classic Rapunzel story. For way longer than I’ve been alive, Disney has been in the business of making archetypal princess movies, but this hairy fairy tale is coming at us with a (French?) twist. After disappointing results for The Princess And The Frog, Disney is targeting boys and using contemporary CG animation with Tangled in hopes that it will join the box office ranks of How To Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda. Watch the trailer below to see what I mean.

Different, right? Gone is the serene, gentle feel of Disney’s hand-drawn classics, instead replaced with swashbuckling action and sly quips from Tangled‘s charming thief, Flynn Ryder (voiced by Zachary Levi). We don’t meet our hair-oin, Rapunzel (Mandy Moore), until half-way through the clip, though it’s immediately clear upon her arrival that she’s meant to break the Disney mold. Rather than the subtle grace of poised princesses like Snow White and Belle, Rapunzel is a feisty teenager, proficient in tae-kwon-hair-do. The fact that she only has one line in the trailer (“BEST. DAY. EVER!”) further underscores Disney’s desire to attract boys to Tangled.

The animation style also surprised me, as a fan of the old-school Disney flicks. Tangled‘s CG-watercolor visuals are gorgeous, and I understand the change — whether we like it or not, CG animation sells at the box office these days, and I can’t knock the Mouse House for wanting Tangled to be a financial success.

Right now, I’m intrigued. I’m sure I’ll climb the golden stair (by which I mean the lit staircase in the movie theater) come Nov. 24, if for no other reason than to listen to Alan Menken’s wonderful compositions, but will Tangled be able to attract larger audiences? Rapunzel certainly has the potential to join Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty in the ranks of Disney’s iconic princesses. But will boys really want to go see a princess movie? Will general audiences embrace a CG animated princess?
