1. How does it feel to be fan of the Month?
It feels absolutely amazing. I was so surprised when I was notified since I didn't expect it at all! I am not a regularly active user because I tend to be busy with school, so I'm usually only really active during school breaks. Nevertheless it is so flattering to be recognized in this way!
2. Your preferito Princess? Why?
For the past several years Belle has remained firmly at the superiore, in alto of my list. I really relate to her desire for adventure and her Amore of books. I think that her bravery and ability to see past the surface of people are incredibly admirable. I think that the real reason why she has unwaveringly been my preferito for so long is that she reminds me of my best friend. My best friend’s preferito fairy tale has always been Beauty and the Beast, and so now that we go to college in different states watching Disney’s Beauty and the Beast reminds me of her and helps me to bridge the distance between us. Belle is both a comfort to me and a role model.
3. Your least preferito Princess? Why?
Rapunzel has remained my least preferito ever since Rapunzel - L'intreccio della torre was released, although if Anna and Elsa are ever coronated Anna just might steal the spot from her. I don’t dislike Rapunzel, I simply find that her movie seems like it’s forcing me to like her, and that really bothers me. It makes her come across as a Mary Sue. She’s just a little too quirky, a little too cute, and a little too perfect.
4. Has your preferito princess ever changed?
Yes, a few times. My childhood preferito was Ariel. I was OBSESSED with her. No really, I would watch The Little Mermaid at least once a week, dreamily walk around Canto “Part of That World,” force my father to act out scenes from the movie (me being Ariel, he being everyone else), and anytime I went swimming I spent the whole time pretending I was a mermaid. I didn’t even get my first haircut until I was in the third grade because I wanted my hair to be like Ariel’s! After Ariel I discovered Belle because my best friend loved her. Then for a brief time in middle school Aurora became my favorite, after which Belle reinstated herself. After I first saw The Princess and the Frog, Tiana held the titolo for a while, but once again Belle snuck her way back to the top, and she has remained there ever since.
5. Your preferito Prince? Why?
That’s a tough one, I don’t really have a preferito princes list. I’d probably say Shang, because beneath the cold military exterior te can see his warm and honestly adorable personality. I Amore the scene where he accepts the sword from his father, and when he tells Mulan “You fight good.”
6. Your least preferito Prince? Why?
Prince Charming. No surprises here haha. He has no personality and doesn’t even try to find Cenerentola himself, instead leaving it to the Grand Duke. I much prefer Kit from the 2015 live action Cinderella.
7. Your preferito DP movie?
Beauty and the Beast! I Amore the message it sends, and the characters and animazione are wonderful. There isn’t a single character in this movie that I dislike. The soundtrack can send shivers down my spine and bring tears to my eyes. I think it is the best movie Disney has ever done.
8. Your least preferito DP movie?
Unfortunately I’m going to have to say Cinderella. It’s a beautiful and timeless film, but the mice grate on my nerves enough to put it at the bottom of my list. (If we are including Elsa and Anna in the lineup though, then Frozen is my least favorite.)
9. If te could choose one Disney heroine to be in the line-up, who would it be? Where would they rank on your pretty lista and preferito list?
Kida!!! Atlantis: The Lost Empire is one of my preferito non-DP movies, and I’ve always thought she deserved to be a part of the lineup. I Amore her desire to help her people and her willingness to do anything for them, as well as her curiosity for history. She would be fourth on my preferiti list, and seventh on my prettiest list.
10. Which Princess do te relate to most?
Definitely Belle. I share a desire for adventure and a Amore of libri with her, as well as an ability to see the good in people. I can also relate to Pocahontas and Aurora.
11. Who is your...
Prettiest? Tiana
Funniest? Merida
Smartest? Mulan
Nicest? Cenerentola
Most underrated? Merida
preferito Canto voice? Aurora
Least preferito Canto voice? Rapunzel
Most annoying? Rapunzel
Least annoying? Belle
12. Your preferito DP couple?
Hmmm another tough one. I’ve never made a preferito couples lista before. I’d probably say Tiana and Naveen, because they both change each other for the better.
13. Your least preferito DP couple?
Mulan and Shang. Their relationship feels very shoe-horned in at the end. I would have preferred it if they had just remained friends.
14. Your preferito DP Outfit?
Tiana’s white dream dress! It is so gorgeous and simple, and it comes with a fabulous feather boa!
15. Your least preferito DP Outfit?
Probably Jasmine’s dark purple outfit that she wears at the very end of Aladdin. I’m not a fan of most of her outfits, but this one is the worst in my opinion. I don’t like that shade of purple on her.
16. What is your preferito song from each DP movie? (It doesn't have to be sung da the DP)
Snow White: Someday My Prince Will Come
Cinderella: So This Is Amore
Sleeping Beauty: I Wonder
The Little Mermaid: Poor Unfortunate Souls
Beauty and the Beast: Belle (reprise)
Aladdin: Prince Ali
Pocahontas: colori of the Wind
Mulan: I’ll Make a Man Out of te
Princess and the Frog: Almost There
Tangled: I See the Light
Brave: Noble Maiden Fair
Frozen: Vuelie
17. Who is your preferito character from each DP movie, besides the DP?
Snow White: the Evil Queen
Cinderella: the Fairy Godmother
Sleeping Beauty: Merryweather
The Little Mermaid: Max
Beauty and the Beast: Cogsworth
Aladdin: Genie
Pocahontas: Grandmother Willow
Mulan: Li Shang
Princess and the Frog: carlotta, charlotte
Tangled: Eugene Fitzherbert
Brave: King Fergus
Frozen: Sven
18. preferito and least preferito DP sidekick?
Favorite: Merryweather
Least: Gus
19. preferito DP Quote?
“The fiore that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.”
20. preferito Disney movie? (Not being a DP o Pixar movie)
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
21. preferito Pixar movie?
Can it be a DP movie? If so then Brave. If not, then probably WALL-E.
22. Which DP do te want to be best Friends with?
Merida! She could teach me archery and falconry and stuff. It would be so much fun.
23. Which DP do te think te would not get along with?
Honestly, none of them. I tend to get along with most people I meet. I usually see the good in people and focus on it, so it’s rare for me to meet someone I dislike o who rubs me the wrong way.
24. preferito crossover couple? (the princess with another Disney character o prince)
Cenerentola and Tiana. I think they would be the most adorable couple! They are both very driven, but have enough differences that their relationship would remain interesting. Tiana tends to be somewhat judgmental while Cenerentola is very accepting. I think that Cinderella’s kindness would soften some of Tiana’s sharp edges, while Tiana’s outspokenness would teach Cenerentola that sometimes it’s ok to be a little più forceful.
25. Have te ever been to any of the Disney theme parks? Which one? If not, which one would te like to go to?
I have been to both Disneyland and Disney World once each. Of the two I preferred Disneyland. I got to meet Pocahontas when I was at Disney World though! She is the only princess I’ve ever met. She complimented me on my hat. :)
26. CGI o Hand-drawn animation?
Both are beautiful, but I have to say hand drawn animation. In CGI things can be very detailed, but characters’ skin tends to look plasticky, which is annoying. I enjoy the simple beauty of hand drawn animation, as well as the versatility that can come from the different styles.
27. What's your preferito activity on Fanpop?
Probably participating in countdowns o making my own. They are always very interesting, and it’s nice to look inoltrare, avanti to the successivo sondaggio in the countdown.
28. What are your hopes on...
Fanpop? That we will continue to attract new and active users, and that those who are already here will continue being the wonderful people they are.
Upcoming Disney movies? I am INCREDIBLY excited for Moana! I fear that they might be rushing its development, but I am hopeful nonetheless. A seafaring princess sounds so cool.
Future Disney movies? I hope we get più Disney Princess movies. I Amore the franchise, and while some feel that the lineup is getting too crowded, I say the più the merrier!
29. If te woke up one giorno and were stuck in a Disney movie, which movie would te want it to be?
Brave, because I could do fun things with Merida once the orso issue got itself sorted out. o Beauty and the Beast because Belle could give me some really great book recommendations.
