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

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.

An intro to my character

posted by DisneyQueen

Hi everyone, I'm new to fanpop, and everyone just seems to get along so well, so for my first ever contribution I'm going to introduce myself to you guys. I hope we have a lot in common besides sharing interest in the Disney Princesses. So here we go.

My name is Lady, funny name right? My parents named me after a cartoon dog. I always loved it, but I go my middle name. I prefer for you guys to call me wither DisneyQueen or Lady though, only because it's in relation to my passion, Disney. I'm twelve years old, I know I'm too young to sign up but this place just seems so warm and open. It's probably...

DP Princes - Are they decent role-models?

posted by Annabethandco

I held a poll recently that revealed people liked to read artikulo that were either countdowns or artikulo about DP characters who were NOT the princess. To satisfy these requests, I decided to make this (sort of) countdown about the DP Princes titled: DP Princes - Are they decent role-models? (Credit to dimitri who gave me the idea :))

To make this countdown shorter, I have taken a sample of princes to examine (there are two from each era):
Prince/Florian/Ferdinand/Buckethead/Whatever you want to call him - Snow White

One day, my name will come...

Charming - Cinderella

Like. A. Boss....
