10. Cenerentola - waking up
Have te ever seen anyone waking up so gorgeous. Her elegance is to die for. She's looking adorable and elegant all at once, with her piggytails. I Amore how she flips over and puts cuscino overhead, not wanting to wake up from the dream. And isn't she cute, not telling the dream to the birdie friends. I like how she was so much in the moment, holding a pillow. And then, old killjoy strikes, haha! I Amore how she gave us a peak into her other side, she does have temperament. I Amore the humming when she's getting ready, i often do it myself. It's a very sweet morning routine.
9. Rapunzel - L'intreccio della torre - Rapunzel is out of tower
I could literally feel her exhilaration when she left the tower for the first time. The way she's staring at the grass, and then feeling the splash of fresh water on her feet. I Amore how she goes a little crazy and is running wild, rolling and swinging all over the place. And it's so cute that Flynn is just watching her, frame da frame,
perplexed to see a girl so overwhelmed with something so simple.
8. Sleeping Beauty - fate fight over color of the toga, abito
This scene is so cute and funny, when Merryweather and Flora are changing colori of the toga, abito while cleaning the cottage with magic. And when they are done with their work and Aurora's arrival is anticipated, they go little mad with their wands, making the dress a splash of blue and pink. I laughed so much, seeing mature adults fighting like kids over a color of the gown! "Make it pink" "Make it blue", and they never could resolve this till the very end.
7. TLM - part of your world
Ariel is in her best of spirits, her hopes and dreams, her longing to be human is so alive in this scene. Her thirst for quenching her curious mind, her need to know più than her world, is beating through this scene. I Amore how it makes te experience a sigh and thrilling high of emotions all at once. I Amore the scene how she stretches out her hand out of her grotto, as if catching onto life. Jodi Benson has really put life in this song. And not to forget Ariel's super gorgeous hair, the sway and the lilt and the twirl of her hair was so stunning to watch every single time. I Amore how it engulfs her face.
6. Pocahontas - Color of the Wind
Are the landscapes for real? Of course not, but it makes te wish for a place on earth so magically beautiful. The vistas are so breathtakingly stunning. The colori used in the animazione is just beyond imagination. And i just Amore this song so much, so profound it is that it makes me question. How much narrow minded we as humans can get sometimes and forgets the larger picture, I Amore the message this songs bring.
Long have I wished to have a tattoo of the leaves from this this song, oh boy, beautiful it is.
5. Sleeping Beauty - Aurora meets Philip
One of the most romantic set-up done da Disney. It starts off on a dream that Aurora was enjoying and her forest Friends adding the fun da mimicking the prince. It was such a cute scene. And then Prince Philip flirting with her, and she's shying away from him. So innocent. And the waltz through the forest is so romantic. I Amore how she leans into his shoulder and promises to meet him again, overlooking the castle, oblivious from the reality.
4. Ribelle - The Brave - Merida rips the tapestry
I Amore this scene for the emotions that are flowing underneath the characters. Neither Elinor nor Merida are able to express what they truly want to say. They are exasperated with each other. I know in my cuore what they are really wanting to say, and wish they'd just found the right words. But they couldn't with emotions clouding their senses. And più she's expressing her anger, angrier she's becoming. The heat kept rising before it took toll on both of them. And as a viewer, I know exactly when she crosses the line from expressing her right to expressing the hurt that has built up in her. And I say to myself, only if she knew what path is she going down. I also Amore how Elinor just couldn't fathom what's bothering Merida so much, cannot understand the depth of it. I loved the tensed situations, ripe with raw emotions and a equally befitting release of it in the physical action - Merida rips the tapestry and Elinor throws Merida's bow in the fire.
3. Rapunzel - L'intreccio della torre - Flynn saves Rapunzel ]
Oh how this scene always demands few tears from my eyes. Begins with a misleading hint when Rapunzel hair goes down the tower for Flynn to climb, makes one think a bit. And before we know, Flynn is stabbed. I Amore how Mother Gothel is still as vain as ever, as cooly sly. "Look what te have done Rapunzel". I Amore the amazing dialogue between Flynn and Rapunzel, "You were my new dream", "And te were mine". The desperation and hurt of both losing each other is overwhelming. And right after when Flynn cuts off Rapunzel's hair to save her, her shock is so apparent, she couldn't just gather what happened in that moment - her hair, Gothel dying, Flynn slowly fading away in death. And the shattering silence in the tower is almost a peek in her heart, left with nothing but a hopeless prayer to get back the newly found and newly Lost love. How she prays in her silent sobs is really heartbreaking.
2. Aladdin - Aladdin sets Genie free
This moment has everything in it - the awww factor, the sweet tug, misty eyes yet a warm smile. Aladdin knew he will lose it all - a friend and his love, yet he found the courage to keep his promise to his friend. I Amore how Genie couldn't believe that it could and it did finally happen - that he was free. His burst of emotions is always a treat to watch. The realization of goodbye is even più emotional. I Amore how Aladdin realizes how close a friend Genie has come to be and how he's going to miss him so. And my cuore melts when they hug, so endearing.
1. Beauty and The Beast - From the data to Beast let Belle go
It's my preferito scene of all time, i can watch it again and again. It's full of beauty and emotion and music. I Amore how it begins with Beast so nervously thinking about the date, because he's not just going to ask her out for the heck of it but because he's truly fallen in love. I Amore the funny exchange between Lumiere and Beast over a haircut. The grand setting of them coming down the staircase and have a grand meal was so like a dream date. And one of the most beautiful Musica lifting the mood. And my eyes are stunned da the splendor of the ballroom and the stunning night vista through windows. I think If I were to get a dream date, this would be it. And just when everything was right, the mood shifts ever so slightly to begin when Belle wishes for her father. And everything goes south from here.
I loved how he finally let go of last of his inhibitions and could truly Amore Belle. And it makes me cry a river when he says to Cogsworth, "I had to (let her go), because I Amore her". I have never found anything più courageous that to consciously let go of your happiness and the chance to make things right for yourself, for the someone else's happiness. It truly is beautiful from the inside.
Hope you'll enjoy this. Amore to hear from te all, as always.
