Because PociandSmith has stopped coming to this spot, I was dato the honor to interview our FOTM for November Swanpride :)
1. Congratulations on winning fan of the Month! How does it feel?
Thank te - I'm a little bit overwhelmed. I'm not just new at this spot, I'm new at fanpop in general, and I didn't expect this at all. I already felt very honored when I saw that I was in the pick and discovered that diluka had nominated me. Thank te to him and everyone, who voted for me. It feels good to know that people liked my articles.
2. Who was your preferito princess when te were a child? Why?
I'm a little bit older than most of the members here, because of that, I was on the verge of becoming a teenager when the Disney Renaissance started. Between the three classic princesses, Cenerentola was my favorite, and is still my number three.
3. Who is your preferito princess now? Why?
I always say I have a preferito for each age - Cenerentola for my childhood until in my early teenager years Belle came along and kept the spot for a long, long time (when I was in that age, I was well known in the whole neighborhood for walking home from school while reading). Until Rapunzel came along - I think from all the Disney Princesses, she is the most creative with the most interesting story, and I Amore her design. I especially admire the strength she displays in freeing herself from her abuser. And I Amore her relationship with Eugene - I think it's the most well rounded of all of them.
4. When te were a child, did te ever wish te could be like your preferito princess?
Yes and no - my sister and I played "Cinderella" a couple of times, but just as often we played "ugly stepsisters", putting cushions under our clothes and tried to immitate the strange walk. Perfect is admirable, but it's also boring, plus, I had enough real life rolemodels
5. Your preferito & why:
Prince: Philip - he wants to give up his trono for Aurora and fights against the most evil and dangerous Disney Villain ever.
Disney Princess Song: That's difficult, I spend so much time thinking about the soundtracks for my articolo series, I have più o less for every category a personal favorite, and I had to reevaluate a lot of my opinions. "Once upon a dream" has a special place in my cuore though.
Disney Princess Movie: Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast and Tangled, not necessarily in that order. All three of them are a work of art in my eyes, especially Sleeping Beauty.
Disney Princess sidekick: No idea, but some which are stand out are Grumpy (the most intereing character in Snow White), the three fate (they are più protaginists than sidekicks, though - and I prefer them in the German dubbing), Mushu and Crikey (they are a great commedic team) and Maximus (he is just awesome)
Disney Princess Villain: Maleficent, hands down. Not just is she awesome, she is one of the few who is evil just for the sake of being evil.
Disney Princess Movie score: Sleeping Beauty - sorry Alan Menken, but this one is nearly impossible to beat.
Disney Princess Sequel: I loathe all the Disney direct-to-video-sequels, with the notable exceptions of "Aladdin and the King of Thiefes". Since the original Movie already had a cartoony style, the differenc in the quality of the animazione is not that exreme than in the other ones, the voice recitazione is superiore, in alto notch, the story is a little bit predictable but interesting enough, the songs are catchy and it's a very good conclusion to the TV-Show.
6. Is there one Disney Heroine te wish could have been made a Disney Princess?
Not really - to me, the selection is totally logical. The only one who perhaps got ripped off is Megara, but I don't really like all the pop culture references in Hercules, so I'm kinde glad that she isn't included, though I really like her character.
7. Pretend there were no 'official Disney princess' (meaning Esmerelda, Kida, and all the other Disney heroines would be part of this spot too) would your current princess preferito change o stay the same?
Yes, though Jane would compete for the superiore, in alto spot
8. Did te ever have a crush on a Disney Prince? If so, which one?
Phillip - he does slay the dragon.
9. If te could change one thing in the lineup, what would it be?
Only one thing? I have some issues with the line-up, but I think what annoys me the most, is that especially the classic princesses don't really look like they are in the movies. And I really hate the way the draw Rapunzel, that doesn't look like her at all, her eyes are big, but they are not THAT big. So I guess my first change would be to make sure that the princesses look like themselves.
10. Which princess do te think you're most similar to?
Belle - and yes, I know, predictable, but as I mentioned above, I actually was the girl whose nose was stuck in a book and everyone called odd. I'm not sure if I would be as Ribelle - The Brave as Belle (though I am as stubborn and nosy as her), but I certainly don't want to find out
11. Which princess do te think is the most beautiful on the outside? What about on the inside?
Aurora, hands down. On the inside - I think innocence is beautiful, so Snow White is it.
12. What's one thing from one of the Film te wish te had? (like maybe Pocahontas' necklace, o Rapunzel's tiara...)
The painted box in which Rapunzel keeps her painting supplies.
13. Do te look like one of the princesses? If te do, which one?
Not really
14. Would te rather:
Be a mermaid o a frog?: A mermaid
Have a dragon and a cricket as sidekicks o a lightning bug and a crocodile?: Definitly the Dragon and the cricket.
Have the most beautiful voice o be the most beautiful girl?: Voice
Marry a peasant o a prince?: Depends on the peasant and the prince.
Be a princess o a peasant?: Neither nor. Being a Lady is fine, enough money to life comfortable, but with più freedom than a princess would have.
15. Which princess do te think seems to be the most flawless?
Flawless in a sense of having no faults? Cinderella, I think. Really, her life sucks and she still smiles and is friendly to everyone. The last thing I would do if I had to work all giorno would be sewing little dresses for mice in my nearly none existent spare time.
16. If te could be any of the princesses o a character from their movies, who would te be?
Aurora - it's a no-brainer, she is the most beautiful, has a beautiful Canto voice, a big family and gets Philip at the end of the movie. o Mulan - I wouldn't really care about going to war, but just for the moment of China bowing to me, I wouldn't mind living her life.
17. Is your number one preferito Disney movie a Disney princess movie o a regular Disney movie?
That's a little bit like comparing jeans to an evening toga, abito - there is for each category (based on books, based on original stories aso) one movie I like più than the others. But my preferito DP Film aside, my superiore, in alto ten of my preferito Disney animated Film include Dumbo, Lilo and Stitch, The great topo, mouse Detective, Treasure Planet and Fantasia. But I really can't tell which I like the most - I have a great respect for Fantasia, which certainly is the greatest Masterpiece Disney ever did, but I don't think that it's really my preferito from an emotional point of view.
18. What was the first Disney princess movie te saw?
I don't know - I watched Disney Film as long as I can remember, but it has to be one of the three classical ones.
19. Who is your least preferito princess?
Pocahontas, I think. I find her very dull - yes, I know, she leaps off cliffs and so on, but that doesn't make her character interesting. I also find her whole design confusing - she looks older than the other princesses, but she often acts like a little child. And I don't get why she doesn't speak up for John Smith immediatly, if she is so in Amore with him. I'm più a "get it done" type, and her moping around, not being able to decide on her successivo step, although a life is at stake, just annoys me.
20. What is your least preferito Disney princess movie?
"The Princess and the Frog" - while I don't dislike Tiana, I find her hard to relate too, Naveen is the kind of man I would keep my distance from in reality, I really hate the "From hate to love"-trope, I don't think that butt-jokes are funny, the pacing in the movie is off, and the Musica is okay but lame. The only thing in the whole sposta I really like is Lottie.
Thank te again Swanpride for your risposte and thanks to all of te who took the time to read this articolo :)
