Disney Princess Article: Princess Analysis || Part 1: Elsa

14

posted by CRaZy_rawR

Eight months ago, I started an artikulo series explaining my pangkalahatang opinion on each princess in as much details as possible. I've decided to start over! :) Technically, we don't know if Anna and Elsa will even be included in the lineup, but like last time, I'm including them. The categories I will analyze are: original thoughts, thoughts now, beauty, wardrobe, singing/speaking voices. Also, I will be doing these in chronological order, form my least paborito princess to my favorite!

My Original Thoughts

Most of you new gents and ladies weren't around to witness my blindness to the "Frozen" hype. Believe it or not, my friends, I LOVED Elsa. She was everything I wanted in a princess, breaking boundaries, ice magic, that feeling of loneliness that was oh-so relatable since I had recently moved. Elsa surprisingly never managed to wiggle out of my tuktok five.. until around March.

My Thoughts Now

Who knew my opinion on Elsa would take a complete 360 from pag-ibig to hate? Once "Frozen" fandom took a chill pill, (even though it was a tiny one) I took a real look at the movie, especially Elsa. Rewatching the movie a few times really kicked my analyzing skills into gear. I noticed how completely boring Elsa is. Besides "Let it Go" what does she do? Oh yeah, she sends an abominable snowman on her sister :) She doesn't give a crap about the kingdom; she runs away from responsibility :) And she expected Anna to be in charge, in which she knows her sister is too naive to handle such a big job, considering she turned down Anna's plans to marry the man she just met :) [talking about stopping the winter] "I don't know how!" bitch, did ya even try? :)

One thing about Elsa that I find relatable is toward the end, when [I think] Elsa heard Hans unsheathe his sword, but didn't move. She had ruined everything, and had nothing left to give. Fits me perfectly, tbh.

Beauty

Eh, I do not even know where I am at on the Elsa beauty spectrum. Ugh, somedays I cannot handle her beautiful face; others I can't find anything gorgeous in her. Personally, pictures don't do Elsa, or any other CGI Disney Princess, any justice. To see these girls in motion is where the magic happens.

Her hair, which I used to not find that attractive, I'm in pag-ibig with. Unlike my past opinions, I like the braid madami than I do the bun. Elsa's eyes are stunning and look stunning in comparison with her skin tone. I'd have to critique on her nose and lips though. Elsa's nose is too long [especially in profile] and her lips too thin! I wish she hadn't plopped all that makeup on though. She looks better natural.

Wardrobe

Her wardrobe doesn't impress me that much. I mean, I like the ice dress madami than I used to, but it's still not my favorite. I pag-ibig the color combination of her cape and coronation gown. I also pag-ibig the little amount of skin showing. It really bumagay Elsa's entrapped life. They're both detailed, but in all honesty, I don't find it all that special.

Voices
Speaking

When it comes to the speaking voices of the DPs, Elsa's is sa pamamagitan ng far the most controversial! You either hate it or pag-ibig it, there's no in between. In my opinion, it doesn't fit Elsa. She sounds too old for the part, and Idina wasn't meant to be a speaking actress. Sorry..

Singing

Idina is a powerhouse, no doubt, which makes it seem odd in comparison to her serious, plain speaking voice. Idina has so much range, it's sorta crazy. I pag-ibig the intensity she brings. Personally, she gives madami emotion pag-awit than she does speaking.

Silverrose1991 Great analysis, 'Nika! Although I like Elsa, I'd have to agree on your personality analysis.

sarchasm I agree 100% on your thoughts on her, great article!

CRaZy_rawR Thanks, my darlings :)

scarletunicorn Yep, agree with the overall article.

Annabethandco I really don't agree at all but I enjoyed the article :) But I wanted to ask if you were ok? I know we are not the close but I am here to talk about it if you need it...

audreybrooke This is a very fair article. I agree with nearly all of it! :)

MaidofOrleans Great article! I agree with a lot of what you said, though she's still in my top 5. I enjoy the way you organized your analysis.

CRaZy_rawR Thanks everyone! And, I'm doing much better, Annabeth. :)

shanyuisboss I disagree with a lot of this article, but it is your opinion after all. :)

becidgls I think we all got obsessed with Frozen right after we saw it. It was big, and sparkly, and singy.....for me it was Anna, not Elsa, but I was hooked all the same. As time passed Elsa actually started to bother me. I got really sick of hearing about her perfection, of seeing the Anna dolls collect dust, of all of it. I think it's a bit harsh to say she was abandoning her responsibilities, she ran away out of fright and didn't think things through. It is a bit far fetched to say she didn't notice the winter, but eh, its fiction! My main problem with Elsa-and Anna, for that matter-is the lack of character development. I feel like so much of that was cut out of Frozen. Take the deleted song More Than Just a Spare, for example. The lyrics are ridiculous, they make me vomit silently, but they give us more perspective on Anna. Elsa is the perfect one, "the athlete, the poet" and she is the impulsive one, making mistake upon mistake. The pig chasing scene, too. The dressing room scene made so much more sense than just cutting it at Do You Want to Build a Snowman. You can't tell me that they never saw each other, ever. That's ridiculous. These scenes gave such depth to the characters, and all built up to Life's Too Short, my favorite Disney song as of late. That song, that song, THAT PULCHRITUDINOUS SONG! Elsa and Anna needed that. They needed a fight scene. Without the dressing room scene, we can only make the assumption that they haven't spoken, not really, for what....16+ years? With one feeling shut out and the other feeling trapped, there's bound to be conflict. I guess I'm kind of moving onto the topic of Anna now, but that song also shows a side of Anna that I love, a selfish side-with offering the gloves back and such. I think it would make her selfless sacrifice at the end of the movie all the more beautiful. Speaking of which, they could've done so much more with that scene....but back to the topic at hand. Elsa. What really saved Elsa for me (I've begun to thaw towards her (pun intended)) was Once Upon a Time. It's my favorite show and the portrayal of Elsa was perfect. It gave her the depth that she was so sorely lacking in! I definitely agree about her speaking voice, Idina just didn't fit. Singing was wonderful though.

Disney Princess Monthly Calendar

posted by laylastepford

Thought this was really the perfect time for this light read considering which months I think each DP represents the best. :D I did this based on personality and my perception of how those personalities relate to the 4 seasons as well as each month. I hope you guys enjoy! My apologies to non-Americans as this is heavily based on my American connotations with these months especially in regards to American holidays. Hope you guys don't mind!

November: Tiana
Thanksgiving has always been my absolute paborito #1 holiday! I pag-ibig it because it brings people together over a great meal, just like James'...

My Ranking of Disney Princess Couples

posted by anukriti2409

Here's my listahan of Disney Princess couples, it's primarily based on what connected with me in their relationship and what i find admirable. I do have some ifs and buts with few couples but that's just my way of looking at how a relationship grow

1. Mulan and Shang:
Theirs a relation that I actually look up to with great admiration and respect. They both were mature to handle a relationship before falling for each other. Their pag-ibig grew out of mutual trust, understanding and respect rather than romantic feelings. It is to not say that romantic feelings are not true or valuable, it's my personal...

The 5 DP pelikula with My paborito Morals

posted by dimitri_

Morals, like most things, are subjective.

5. Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs

I noticed that sadness seems to be the most popular emotion among people and it’s understandable, no matter how strong you are, nothing hits you harder than life. True you should try your best to get out of a bad situation but in the process, it’s good to make the best out of it. It’s important to be grateful and remember how blessed you are, a positive attitude goes a long way in order to enjoy your life.

4. Brave

What I really like with bravo is that it’s easy to relate to because disagreements and miscommunication...

3. Aladdin’s face was modeled after Tom Cruise’s.
4. And Ariel was partially modeled after Alyssa Milano.
5. The Jungle Book was the last animated film Walt Disney personally supervised; it was released 10 months after his death.

Princess List: Most Feminist DP Part 1

posted by JNTA1234

Ah, feminism and Disney Princess. Such a complicated relationship. Now I'm not an expert, especially being a guy but the topic of feminism in relation to the DPs has always intrigued me. I'm gonna try my hand at ranking the princesses in terms of agency, independence, heroism and other aspects to figure out which one of them is the most feminist. I'm trying to expand my Pagsulat skills so this is gonna be split into three parts, starting with the bottom four.

WARNING: No Anna and Elsa in this countdown, so let's begin.

11. Aurora
Sorry guys, but I'm one of those people who believes that feminism...

Why I Like Mulan

posted by _CatWoman_

Well, according to my own preferences Mulan is the complete arrangement of relatable and admirable. She's always dutiful, she always tries to please her parents and her society. She often fails at it, but she tries her best. When she loses hope in pleasing her family, she figures she would rather sacrifice herself for her father then see him die doing what she's told. She even does such, to change her society. She takes a risk to have some value to her, which is achieving her own goals as well as helping the people she holds dear. She's clumsy, she messes up and makes bad decisions, but ultimately...
