Because PociandSmith has stopped coming to this spot, I was donné the honor to interview our FOTM for November Swanpride :)
1. Congratulations on winning fan of the Month! How does it feel?
Thank toi - 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 toi to him and everyone, who voted for me. It feels good to know that people liked my articles.
2. Who was your favori princess when toi 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, Cendrillon was my favorite, and is still my number three.
3. Who is your favori princess now? Why?
I always say I have a favori for each age - Cendrillon 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 accueil 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 l’amour her design. I especially admire the strength she displays in freeing herself from her abuser. And I l’amour her relationship with Eugene - I think it's the most well rounded of all of them.
4. When toi were a child, did toi ever wish toi could be like your favori 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 favori & why:
Prince: Philip - he wants to give up his trône 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 article series, I have plus ou 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 cœur, coeur 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 fées (they are plus 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 animation is not that exreme than in the other ones, the voice jouer la comédie is haut, retour au début 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 toi 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 favori change ou stay the same?
Yes, though Jane would compete for the haut, retour au début spot
8. Did toi ever have a crush on a Disney Prince? If so, which one?
Phillip - he does slay the dragon.
9. If toi 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 toi 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 Rebelle as Belle (though I am as stubborn and nosy as her), but I certainly don't want to find out
11. Which princess do toi 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 films toi wish toi had? (like maybe Pocahontas' necklace, ou Rapunzel's tiara...)
The painted box in which Rapunzel keeps her painting supplies.
13. Do toi look like one of the princesses? If toi do, which one?
Not really
14. Would toi rather:
Be a mermaid ou a frog?: A mermaid
Have a dragon and a cricket as sidekicks ou a lightning bug and a crocodile?: Definitly the Dragon and the cricket.
Have the most beautiful voice ou be the most beautiful girl?: Voice
Marry a peasant ou a prince?: Depends on the peasant and the prince.
Be a princess ou a peasant?: Neither nor. Being a Lady is fine, enough money to life comfortable, but with plus freedom than a princess would have.
15. Which princess do toi 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 jour would be sewing little dresses for mice in my nearly none existent spare time.
16. If toi could be any of the princesses ou a character from their movies, who would toi be?
Aurora - it's a no-brainer, she is the most beautiful, has a beautiful chant voice, a big family and gets Philip at the end of the movie. ou 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 favori Disney movie a Disney princess movie ou a regular Disney movie?
That's a little bit like comparing jeans to an evening robe - there is for each category (based on books, based on original stories aso) one movie I like plus than the others. But my favori DP films aside, my haut, retour au début ten of my favori Disney animated films include Dumbo, Lilo and Stitch, The great souris 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 favori from an emotional point of view.
18. What was the first Disney princess movie toi saw?
I don't know - I watched Disney films as long as I can remember, but it has to be one of the three classical ones.
19. Who is your least favori 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 l’amour with him. I'm plus a "get it done" type, and her moping around, not being able to decide on her suivant step, although a life is at stake, just annoys me.
20. What is your least favori 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 musique is okay but lame. The only thing in the whole déplacer I really like is Lottie.
Thank toi again Swanpride for your réponses and thanks to all of toi who took the time to read this article :)
