*cuing annoyed Charlie Brown scream*

I have been so frickin' busy this time of taon and I put off practically everything I should be doing. But I still have 4 artikulo to go counting this one.

In sinabi article, this one will be my paborito Disney Princess movie and why it's there.

Now for the record; I want to say none of these are my paborito Disney movie, but a few of these are tuktok 10. I'm going over paborito Disney PRINCESS movie. I myself prefer the underrated Disney movies, but that's just me.

Moving on...

Favorite Disney Princess Movie

These are my opinions, I'm also doing this artikulo solo, please tolerate and respect them as I do yours.

10. Sleeping Beauty

Are you all surprised Pocahontas isn't 10, yeah, me too.

But I rewatched Pocahontas recently among Nostalgia Critic's Disneycember commentaries, and it's still the same as I remember; bland, kinda boring, and I still want it to hurry up and end.

However, I also rewatched Sleeping Beauty. Or I should say Sleeping Beauty droned on in the background as I got distracted on the computer sa pamamagitan ng something cooler.

Sleeping Beauty is just a filler movie. Yes, the artwork is breathtaking, animation isn't that bad, and the climax w/ the dragon is FRICKIN AWESOME...

...but those are about the only things people like or remember about Sleeping Beauty.

The movie itself doesn't even focus on Sleeping Beuaty herself. You get madami scenes of the 4 mga engkanto and the two kings and drunk jester guy. I remember not being interested in Sleeping Beauty either. I would always fast foward her part to get to the fairies. So that's kind of a bad thing when a little girl who's supposed to like the princesses wants to fast foward all the parts with the princess to get to the fairies. And the music- though it's from a legitimate ballet- is boring at times. Only when things get exciting (which is rare in the movie) does the music get exciting.

I feel it lacks story and main character development. Even the villain didn't really have a good enough reason for being "The Mistress of All Evil"- but I'll save that for another article. I also heard somewhere that someone on the Disney staff sinabi it had the look of the film but lacked the Disney warmth. Though I'm unsure what the Disney warmth is, I agree. All the movie was was beautiful backgrounds with a frickin awesome dragon scene that was too short for me.

Oh and whenever I babysit 4 taon old Annie and 2 taon old Kenzie and I ask what movie do they wanna watch, they have never once sinabi Sleeping Beauty. I've seen it clearly on their shelf and I've suggested it, but they say no. So a 4 taon old and 2 taon old Disney princess loving girls don't want to watch Sleeping Beauty? Huh, sounds like me when I was their age and even a little older. Sleeping Beauty just misses the mark and I feel could be so much better.

9. Pocahontas

I sinabi it's still bland, boring, and I want it to end faster and it's at number one. Why? Well unlike Sleeping Beauty, this clearly has story. It obviously focuses on it's titular heroine and I give it serious credit for that. The music isn't bad either considering it's 8 time Oscar winner Alan Menken and Wicked creator Stephen Schwartz.

So why don't I like this movie? Honest truth is I wish it was madami true to it's history. When we started to learn about Pocahontas in elementary school I was so excited because I felt 'Hey I saw the movie I know all about her'. Then we learned the truth, then we watched the movie after. I honestly felt cheated and betrayed. I like knowing things and being right and here it was nothing about the Disney version was right. Granted it's Disney and it had to be kid-friendly, but still; couldn't they stay true to history while keeping it family friendly?

Another slight issue is the animals. While I like them the most, they don't talk. It's a Disney movie where we're used to the mga hayop talking and in a movie where it's a good idea that they should talk considering trees do and maybe Native Americans who live off the land can understand the animals, the mga hayop don't talk. To me, it seemed appropriate that they should talk here, I wanted them to talk in this movie, but they didn't. This is a slight issue because in the end, I still think the mga hayop are cool.

I don't really think I really liked Pocahontas, but I know I tolerated madami than Sleeping Beauty.

8. Mulan

If I've sinabi it once I sinabi it a thousand times, I haven't seen this movie the whole way through and I don't have a way for me to do it without watching it in different parts on YouTube or a decent quality on other sites.

But from what I remember, it was kinda funny. I liked that Mulan was never a real princess and that she kicked some asno (pardon my french). I loved the army buddies too especially when they dressed in drag.

But honestly, I can only recall bits and pieces from the movie but I don't remember where in the movie it occured all the time. I know the drag part was near the end, but I can't recall where other pieces were.

I'm sure it'd be higher if I saw it madami than once, but I don't really have anything bad to say about it so that's kinda good.

7. Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs

Forever branded with the subtitled the one that started it all. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful it did but there are reasons why this is low for me.

IT FRICKIN SCARES ME!

I'll admit it; I'm 19 years old and I'm scared of this movie. A Tale of Terror wasn't as scary compared to the original Snow White.

Maybe I was a little too dramatic. It doesn't scare me as bad as it did when I was little, but it still freaks the crap out of me. Back when I first saw it, the scene where the huntsman was approaching her with the kutsilyo and the forest terrified me. Nowadays, not so much. The forest is kinda cool, and the huntsman's eyes during that scene only a tad bit. I remember I was also scared of when the dwarfs first came to their cottage and my distracted little mind forgot Snow White was there and when they thought there was a monster there, so did I. Then I remembered Snow White and I freaked when they were gonna kill her. I was like 'NO! NO! DON'T KILL SNOW WHITE!' Ah to be young again.

But what's scared me about this movie then, and still does to this araw is the witch. I think I can classify this as a phobia. I CANNOT LOOK AT HER! This started when I was four; first it was her voice, then I put the looks with the voice. But my Gramma sinabi it was always her costume that terrified me. I always wanted to watch this to try and conquer my fear (and because I pag-ibig the dwarfs), but it never worked. I can listen to her now, but still can't look

And please don't torment me w/ pics of her like my so called mga kaibigan used to do I am legitmiately scared of her.

Aside from being scared, this movie's heroine isn't much of a heroine, the prince was never in there, the music and songs were annoying, and all I liked was the story and the dwarfs.

See, it's not only low because of my fear.

6. Tangled

This is mostly due to the fact that I didn't see it until fall this taon and no matter where I went everybody spoiled this movie. I did thoroughly enjoy it, but it was too spoiled for me.

Another couple of reasons is behind the scenes stuff. This movie was originally called Rapunzel and she was going to be voiced sa pamamagitan ng one of my paborito singer/actresses Kristin Chenoweth. I knew it was gonna be all computer done, which I preferred 2D, but I sinabi eh, I still wanna see it. Then they changed the title. Not only did they change the title, the marketing technique was designed mostly for boys to get interested in the movie.

All in all, I still liked the movie, Mandy Moore was a good replacement, but it was too spoiled for me. Yeah, occasionally I like to spoil things for other people, but not an entire movie! And I'll admit, when I watch a movie on TV somewhere in the middle I look up spoilers to see how it ends; but only during the middle!

A part of me also wishes Gusot was 2D hand drawn animation.

5. Princess & the Frog

A return to 2D animation and the classic fairy tale. Hallelujah!

I pag-ibig the story, I really do. I pag-ibig the characters, they're awesome. I pag-ibig a couple of songs...notice I sinabi a couple, I would've loved madami if Alan Menken did the music instead of Randy Newman.

I guess this is 5th because I saw this when I was 17. sa pamamagitan ng then I was madami grown up then I was when I watched the other DP pelikula pre 2009. Maybe it's also because this is a madami modern spin on it and isn't a time of true magic, but madami voodoo junk.

I also liked that Disney broke ground and created an African-American princess. I just wish she wasn't so serious and eased up a bit on work. Still, I like her, and I like the movie.

4. Little Mermaid

Fun fact; I used to be terrified at the scene when Urusla turned Ariel human. I guess the lady villains frighten me madami than the bad guys. Evil girl power, yeah!

I know I say some pretty negative things about Ariel, but I still like her. But if we're being honest, she wasn't what I liked about the movie so much. I'm not sure how else to word that, but there were things in the movie I preferred to her.

Namely Sebastian. Sebastian makes this movie for me. I pag-ibig his character, I pag-ibig his songs, I pag-ibig that unlike Ariel his character acutally changes. Growing up, I loved Sebastian, and I still do. And he also made the TV series work for me too. Bonus; like Ariel, Sebastian's never had a different voice actor. And Samuel E. Wright didn't just do one Disney thing no, no, no. He released solo records as Sebastian in the 90's and he starred as Mufasa in the original Broadway production of Lion King.

I pag-ibig the music in this movie, I pag-ibig how they took a madami family appropriate approach to the original fairy tale (trust me on this the original fairy tale is dark and depressing). The villain was cool, the sidekicks were epic, the prince was okay, and Ariel had a lot of cool moments too.

3. Cinderella

This was one of the first ones I've seen without being terrified of!

I pag-ibig everything about Cinderella. The heroine, the story, all the other characters, and the different variations other cultures created of the story.

Now for the anylisis of the Disney version. The heroine- check. The story- check. The other characters- uh...sure.

I pag-ibig the mice, they helped keep interest in the movie. The stepmother, she was a good villain and she didn't need magic. The fairy godmother, I wish they expanded her role a little. Lucifer, a better villain than the stepsisters at times. The stepsisters, okay. I loved the commrodery between the King and the Duke, I even like the Duke.

It's the prince I have issues with.

I heard the story first before the movie. Like Cinderella, the prince was a big part of the story. In the movie, what good was this guy? He's a major reason why this movie isn't in the tuktok 2 spots.

And yeah, I feel like the movie was filler at times with the mice, so that's another reason. But it's still a classic and I still pag-ibig this one.

2. Aladdin

I felt this one was mostly for boys seeing as though hasmin wasn't really a central character.

But it didn't matter to me because I still loved this movie. I loved the adventure, the romance, the characters, and the voice pagganap was great too. Bonus, the TV series was pretty awesome too.

Why is this number two? I guess it's another character focus issue. As much as I pag-ibig this movie (like me it's 19 years old) I loved the princesses. I wish they would've shown madami of her. I think you got some madami development of her in the TV series and she didn't even appear in some episodes.

Still, I pag-ibig Aladdin, I pag-ibig that it wasn't just for girls, I pag-ibig the TV series, and I pag-ibig that this one was funny and still could be emotional.

Did I mention that this is also a product of 1992? Because it is...like me!

1. Beauty & the Beast

I watch this movie once a buwan because I pag-ibig it.

Granted there are some serious issues with plotholes, but I don't care.

The characters, the story, the artwork, the music, it all just takes me away.

Much like Cinderella, the villain doesn't rely on magic and I like that. I like that a lot of things in this movie is realistic.

In addition to Cinderella, I feel I can relate myself to Belle. We're brunettes, we pag-ibig wearing blue, we like to read, we want madami in our lives, we'll do anything to protect our loved ones even if it's not the best thing to do, we honor promises, and we feel like outsiders in our soceity. Besides Belle, I pag-ibig the side characters, especially Lumiere.

What else do I like? The romance. We don't know how long it takes them to fall in love, but it isn't pag-ibig at first sight and it takes a while. The transformation scene is near perfection, and even though it uses recycled animation from Sleeping Beauty, I pag-ibig how it uses the recycled animation.

I really don't have anything bad to say about this movie (without going into details about plotholes) and I don't think anyone else does either. It's a tale as old as time and this movie can stand the test of time and people will still pag-ibig it.

Bonus; this was the first Disney movie to have a pop song at the end sung sa pamamagitan ng Celine Dion & Peabo Bryson, both of whom I like to listen to.

Well, that's my list. These are my opinions, thank you for respecting them.

Here are some pics of movie posters. I tried to get original ones or video covers. And for the record, the Snow White one is up there because that animation is different than the movie animation. Please enjoy
