Disney Princess Article: Stop the Ariel bashing!

1

posted by faya27

Ariel is my paborito Disney Princess. Thus, I find it stupid for some fanbrats from some disney message boards (not this site, just Internet Movie Database and other Disney forums) to bash Ariel all because she is not like the other girls, especially Belle.

Complaint 1: Ariel loved Eric for his looks!
My Defense: Ariel fell in pag-ibig with Eric because he was a nice guy. Remember the scene where Grimsby presented the statue to Eric to him? Ever wondered why Eric didn't like it? Because the statue made him looked pompous and snobby-which Eric isn't! Even Chris Barnes and my brother sinabi so!

Complaint 2: Ariel wanted to be a human so she could be with ERic!
My Defense: Ariel wanted to be a human way before Eric came into the picture. Remember the musical number, "Part of your World"? She has been collecting human objects because she is interested in the human world. During that song, she expresses how much she wants to be a human. The song took place before she met Eric.

Complaint 3: Ariel gave up her life for a man! Selfish tramp!
My defense: She is not selfish nor a tramp. Yes, she gave up her family for Eric. However, she could still visit her family sa pamamagitan ng the shore. It's not like she moved to a different planet.

Complaint 4: She will be abused sa pamamagitan ng Eric! She should have married Urchin!
My defense: the tv series is not canon to the 1989 film. The tv ipakita made it clear that Ariel and Urchin had a "big sister-little brother" type friendship. Eric is a nice guy; not a mean guy. He will not abuse Ariel. I think that Ariel got to know him sa pamamagitan ng watching him from the ship and got to know better during her first three days on land. Yes, Eric and Ariel will have some quarrels but they still pag-ibig each other-otherwise they wouldn't bother saving each other from Ursula.

How could you say that Ariel's romance with Eric wasn't anyhing like Beast/Belle's? The Little Mermaid was based on madami on family struggles, growing up, and letting go than romance whereas Beauty and the Beast was definitely based on romance, learning to change, and how to judge someone. Besides, Ariel and Eric were following Disney logic of romance.

boolander25 Well, she is a [i]little[/i] selfish. She never did say thanks to her dad and kind of just expected him to fix everything.

faya27 I have to disagree. She didn't expect her dad to fix everything. She really thought she and her father were doomed for when Ursula took control of the ocean. She also thought she'd never see Eric again since she got turned back into a mermaid. When her dad turned her back into a human, she was really surprised and smiled happily at her father, meaning 'thanks.' She even hugged him at the end, showing that she was grateful.

MrsEmmaPeel I agree with Faya27.

BelleAnastasia I disagree with you on a lot of points. You can't deny Ariel liked Eric for his looks. She was watching him and telling Scuttle how handsome he is. This is lust. So basically she stared lusting after the first handsome man she has ever seen. And about the statue, so what if he made a face? How could Ariel know he didn't like it, because it was pompous and snobby? Maybe it was too modest and not enough pompous and snobby for him. Ariel has no way of knowing that. Yeah, I agree at first she wanted to be human for a lot of different reasons. But once she met Eric all these reasons were not important anymore. Why didn't she go to Ursula before she met Eric? So yeah, by the time she went to Ursula, her main motivation to become human was Eric. Oh, come on, you can't say she's not selfish and not a tramp. Her father loved her so much. She had a caring a nice family, a lot of friends who loved her and she could do anything she wants underwater. But she was so self centered and self absorbed, that she couldn't see these things. She never thought about anybody else , just herself. She left her whole family and her friends, without caring how they will feel. And she didn't even know Eric well enough. And she made a deal with a sea witch. How stupid do you have to be to do that? So yeah, she is extremely selfish and also quite stupid. In the end it is really annoying how hypocritical she is. She didn't care at all for her father throughout the entire movie. And she was willing to tell him that she loves him only after he made her dream come true. But if he didn't turn her back into human, I guess she would have given him crap for the rest of their lives.

pretty_angel92 LOL, i totally agree with BelleAnastasia.

MelodyLaurel Well, I kind of agree with BelleAnastasia. Before she saw Eric, her wish of becoming human was to dance, to walk, to do what normal people do. Not chasing after a guy she barely knows. You can see after she saved Eric and reprised "Part of your world", the song's meaning seemed to change, because her motivations changed.

PeterPansgirl12 I agree with BelleAnastasia

CuteDiana what BelleAnastasia meant, that you should stay where you are, with your family and friends without hurting them, because they are the ones who can make up for your passion, ambitions, and wildest dreams, you should stay at home and quit your dreams .. oh and you should act like you're 25 even if you are only 16.

disneyprince ^^haha, but seriously she didn't want to be underwater. Her family provided her many things, but those things did not make her happy. I'm going to give you a very general example. Let's say you dislike apples, but somebody provides you with all the apples you could ever need, and then when you tell them you don't like them, they make you feel selfish and ungrateful. Although it's nice of her father to provide these things for her, he truly wasn't listening to his daughter and definitely wasn't WILLING to listen to her. And because her father (who is a person she SHOULD be able to trust) would not even hear her love for the human world, she had no choice but to go to the sea witch, because honestly, from what we've seen of the movies, there are only 2 beings underwater capable of granting Ariel's wish: her father and Ursula. Well, since her father wasn't giving her what she wanted, she went to the only other person who could. It was either that or be miserable for the rest of her life, marry a merman she didn't love and live her life in denial (sounds kinda like a metaphor for gay men and women that have to hide because of our culture's ignorance).

BelleAnastasia But she's only 16 as CuteDiana said. When people are 16 they still don't know what they want to do with their lives. She's still immature, and cannot think logically.

CuteDiana ^people say Jasmine was 15 turning 16, Belle could be 17, Snow White was 14, and they all don't and can't think logically ?

loveandbeauty18 Do you realize that ariel (and belle) get the most love and are the most popular on fanpop! They're always in the spotlight while the others arent! So theirs not a lot of haters of Ariel. I wouldn't callmyself a hater or bash on her. Not a lot of people do! But I do thinkshe is selfish spoiled and shallow. Anything that starts with an s (LOL!). She's selfish because she never thinks about others or and never says thank you. She's spoiled because everythings never good enoughh for her and she always wants more. She's shallow because se she did like eric for his looks . She admired his statue because he looked good she even said it herself. The way I feel about Ariel is the way you feel about any ovverated movie character or person that's always in the spotlight and it gets annoying sometimes. Sorry I offended any fans out their.

CuteDiana lol you have no idea, true that Belle and Ariel are the most popular here, but there's Ariel haters more than Belle haters. and i'm not gonna discuss your reasons because we here talked about this like 976523745692783465872634857234872 times. and you're right about the overrated part, there's some popular characters that you DON'T like so you say that they are overrated, i don't think that Ariel and Belle are overrated, they deserve their fame, their movies were the best of the best, and it's not my opinion, TLM was a major hit and brought back the princesses line-up, if it wasn't for her who knows if there's any princesses now, BatB was the first animated movie ever to be nominated for best picture, i'm not a huge Belle fan and i still don't think she's overrated. not everything famous that you don't like is overrated !

BelleAnastasia Jasmine was locked away in a palace, she didn't have the freedom Ariel had. Also Jasmine ran away for like 1 day, but then came back, she didn't leave her father. Belle took her father's place as Beast's prisoner. This is a really noble and mature action. Snow White had no family. Her step mother wanted to kill her. So her only option was to run away. I'm not saying they can't think logically at all. Just Ariel made a lot of stupid and illogical decisions.

dee389 Belle too, she let her friends at the castle in danger from Gaston. She should had brought her father to the castle!

Arielthemermaid NO! dee389 her and her father were trapped, remember? Gaston stuck them in there!

Beatlebop8 so what if Ariel was only 16. I'm sixteen and I have enough sense not to put my entire species in danger because of my selfishness. There is a limit and most people will automatically want to avoid someone like Ursula, but no not Ariel.

Disney Princess Doppelgängers: The 1930s to Now

posted by ace2000

Hi everybody!

In this article, I'll be pairing each Disney Princess with a celebrity active during the time of the DP's movie release.

Snow White: Gene Tierney

They both have roundish faces, dark hair, a cute smile, and a reputation for outstanding beauty.

Cinderella: Grace Kelly

They both have blonde hair (albeit Sinderella is madami of a presa blonde), and similar noses IMO. And both are icons of elegance.

Aurora: Kim Novak

It was actually very hard to determine who Aurora's double would be. There were so many blonde mga aktres in the 1950s - mainly because movie studios were...

Most Prettiest DP listahan

posted by Sparklefairy375

Hello everyone. I'm just boring and suddenly I've got an idea to wrote my listahan of prettiest Disney Princesses. All of the Princesses have their own typical of beauty. But for sure I have some of favorites. Anyway, here's my prettiest DP list:

13. Snow White

Why her? She's the fairest of them all! Yes, she's the fairest of them all. But for me she is madami tend to cute than pretty. I don't really like the shapes of her small-sized brown eyes and her nose. Her face overally looks like porselana doll. In fact, she can be pretty but I'm just not a tagahanga of her animation styles. Her looks in DP...

Ranking of the Disney Princes

posted by disneymagic93

This is my ranking of the princes. This is probably going to be one of my harder artikulo so please don't be rude.

12. Hans- I can't even describe how much I dislike this character. I hate the idea that the handsome prince has to be a jerk. One of the things I really hate about nagyelo is that it mocks the pag-ibig at first sight of the Walt era princess films. Yes you don't marry a guy you just met but I think most people are smart enough to know that, it's just common sense, yes there is no such thing as pag-ibig at first sight but that's because they're fairytales and fairytales aren't suppose to...

Fanpop's Most Beautiful kastilyo in DP pelikula

posted by anukriti2409

The results are in! So which kastilyo is the most beautiful among all? I recently conducted a poll to figure which castles are seen as the most beautiful castles from DP pelikula sa pamamagitan ng fans, and here's what the Disney Princess fans have to say about each and how they have ranked it.
Special thanks to tiffany88, who has generously contributed not only with her comments but also with phenomenal collages to help the fans choose better! Thank you so much for your generous help! <3

My listahan of paborito Disney Princesses

posted by TheMusicalMolls

These are simply based on how much I like/admire/relate to that character, and it's only my opinion, so you don't have to agree with it. :) Let's begin!

12. Aurora

Pretty, yes, but where's the personality?

She doesn't do much at all, and for me to like someone they have to actually DO something. She only gets 18 minutos of screen time in the whole movie, and only 18 lines! She's pretty and graceful and all, but I don't see any real personality or character in her, just a bland princess space-filler.

11. Elsa

I think it's time to let Elsa go.

Honestly I don't know why the world is so obsessed...

DP "Best/Most" Yearbook Style: laylastepford version

posted by laylastepford

Credit to Sparklefairy375

I thought it would be a cute idea to do an artikulo with something positive about each of the Disney Princesses in the style of a high school yearbook. Since I am Pagsulat this from my opinion, I have labeled them with traits that I find the most positive in a princess/female.

1. Snow White- Most Caring & Kind: Snow White wouldn't hurt a fly. She is so kind and caring that she doesn't even understand why the mga hayop were trying to attack the evil reyna disguised as an old woman. "With a smile and a song" it is clear that Snow White is very nurturing. She immediately takes to the dwarves like...

Disney Princess Causes

posted by laylastepford

I got this idea when I learned that at one point, Disney actually was using some of the princesses in cause advertisements and it got me thinking: If each of the Disney Princesses wanted to select a cause/charity to contribute to, which would it be?

Snow White- Senior Citizens: Snow White ends up homeless after running away from the evil reyna and she was fortunate that the 7 dwarfs took her in. This is why I think she would want to help senior citizens the way she did for the dwarfs and the way that they helped her (although they were not senior, they were getting close).

Cinderella- Animal...
