In the successivo months, I'll write a series of 8 articoli (well, I'll continue only if te like them, of course). The first 7 articoli will be about separate aspects of the DP Film (Score, princess, couple, screenplay, villain, sidekicks and animation/art), and in the final articolo I'll make the average of the grades I gave the Film in each aspect and make my preferito DP Film lista = )
This is the secondo articolo in the series "Animaluco's superiore, in alto 10". It covers all DP Movies' screenplays! Enjoy!
10. Cinderella - 6,75
This movie's screenplay has nothing special. Though it doesn't mostra any continuity/logical problems (not that I have noticed), it has nearly no action (only a tension moment in the last minutes) and there are way too many unnecessary scenes with the mice. Somethings happen too slow and somethings happen too fast (like its ending).
09. Aladdin - 7,0
I thought about putting this in the #10 spot, somehow forgiving Cinderella's filler parts for being an older movie, but my intention was to rank the Film from an objective point of view, so I think Aladdin's screenplay is slightly better because it definetely doesn't lack in action. However, out of all the Disney Movies, this one has the biggest logical problems. I could spend hours naming them, but the single fact of Jafar not recognizing Aladdin is enough to make the plot stupid.
08. The Princess and the Frog - 7,5
The first 25 minuti of the movie are perfect. Everything moves fast and clearly. However, as everybody knows, the middle part of the movie is filled with filler scenes and filler songs, and the last moments lacked a lot in action compared to other DP Movies. And it still has some logical problems, like I wrote link.
07. Sleeping Beauty - 7,75
This screenplay doesn't have any clear logical problem, though it was kinda forced when the fate left Aurora alona exactly in the giorno Maleficient's spell was about to be cursed. Besides, the middle part can be kinda slow and boring, specially if te don't appreciate its classic score.
06. Beauty and the Beast - 8,0
This was the first Disney Animated Movie to have its screenplay completed before the animazione was started, but I don't think it has one of Disney's best screenplays, because it has serious issues with the time thing. The time Belle spent in the castello is enough for a season to pass, but it doesn't seem to take much time since Maurice left the castello and went there again. And did Lefou really stay all that time in Belle's door? The screenplay also makes a mistake da dedicating too much time to the initial scenes and it lacks a better development in the couple's relationship.
05. Pocahontas - 8,25
This screenplay is OK. Not a lot of filler parts (in fact, the scenes with Meeko and Percy were necessary as comic relief), and all the scenes seem to have a function in the story. The biggest problem was the excuse they found to start the battle between the natives and the english men - Why on earth would the indians hide that gold?
04. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - 8,5
Some of te may think this one is a bit too high, but I disagree. It doesn't have any logical problems and it has a nice final action scene. Its only problems are 2 scenes with the dwarfes that are too long - The first one when they get home and discover that someone's at the house and the secondo during their bath.
03. Mulan - 9,0
This movie has a very clean and clear screenplay, with definite acts and nearly no filler scenes. I am putting it behind the successivo 2 Film because one of the final elements - The huns emerging from the snow seemed a bit too forced as an excuse to continue with the story.
02. Tangled - 9,25
Rapunzel - L'intreccio della torre has an amazing screenplay. It has not a single filler scene and I think that it has the element that avoided the movie to flop like PatF. In fact, a movie released in 2010 has to manage to keep the audience atention during all the scenes, and Rapunzel - L'intreccio della torre manages to do that, including amazing action scenes. I'll put it in #2 because of how easily Mother Gothel seemed to discover that Rapunzel left the tower with Flynn. And how Rapunzel managed to hide that crown during a whole day.
01. The Little Mermaid - 9,50
te people can complain because this is #1 in my lista again, but I can't find a single problem in this screenplay. This movie flows clearly and fast, with più action scenes than any animated movie released upon 1989 - In fact, it started the tradition of having action scenes before the climax in animated movies. It has no filler parts and not a single logical problem. All the parts that could bring boring scenes (like the tour in the city) were shorten the maximum. However, I won't give it 100% because of the song "Les Poissons" -It was very funny, but a bit unnecessary.
