Princesses Disney Article: My Opinion on Emma Watson Playing Belle

2

posted by WinterSpirit809

I may be a little late for this but here we go...

So I have this opinion that I don't know whether ou not it's popular, but I know at one point it wasn't. Everyone is just like "oh, she's going to be horrible as Belle!" But I strongly disagree, and here is why.

People say she looks nothing like Belle, so I'm just sitting here like soooo....? She looks no less the the same as Emilie de Ravin does, and she makes a great Belle on Once Upon a Time! I get it, when people see the live action versions of these movies, they want to see the characters similar in both personality wise and design wise, but they really don't look that different.

However there are reasons why I'm excited for this, especially after seeing the trailers for the movie.

For one, I find many similarities between Belle and Hermione Granger from Harry Potter, another character played par Emma Watson. Seeing Emma being cast as Belle made me super excited, because I l’amour Hermione, and I loved the way Emma Wateon played her. I mean, obviously there are differences between Hermione and Belle, but the point is seeing her play someone so similar to Belle makes me confident that she will do a good job with his role.

It may also be my personal bias, but this is also one of my favori actresses, playing a princess that is in my haut, retour au début five, so that brings a lot of excitement.

Plus her chant voice is so stunning, and although I thought original chant voice of Belle was okay, Emma's voice sure takes the cake for this! It's so clear and once again, Disney has surprised me with another actress being able to sing.

So yeah, I really don't have any issues with Emma Watson as Belle, and am really excited to watch it!

fansfunsz and Mongoose09 like this

RoseRapunzel I absolutely agree! I don't like that some people think she's terrible as Belle or they just see Hermione instead of Belle. I have no problem with her, in fact, I'm excited to see the great job she's surely done.

Sparklefairy375 I agree with you. Emma is a great choice for the role of Belle. I don't understand why peoples having trouble about her as Belle. They need to move on from Hermione :P Anyway, I completely agree that Emma, Belle, and Hermione are quite similar :) good-looking and smart girls :D

Mongoose09 I agree with this article, I understand why she wouldn't be everyone's taste but I think she's a perfect choice, especially since she's so passionate about the role, clearly loves the character and isn't just playing the part for the paycheck or to look good. Sure, my opinion might change when I actually watch the movie but regardless I can understand why she was picked. People say she's a bad actress and while she might not be Oscar-worthy or anything she REALLY improved over the course of the HP movies; she was brilliant in the last couple of movies IMO. I also don't get the "doesn't look like her" comments... caucasian?? check. beautiful?? check. slim?? check. brunette?? check. Even if she didn't look like her it doesn't really matter anyway, of course this movie is supposed to be similar to the animated version, but it's not supposed to be an exact replica.

lililc i havent seen the movie, while i totally despise the way she plays hermione i think i´ll give her a change,maybe she manages to understand belle´s character

deedragongirl I whole-heartedly agree, I hate it when movie stars tend to be typecast in a certain role.

quishy11 Very nice article! I don't agree because I strongly feel that Emma's and Belle's vibes are at the opposite end of the spectrum. Good actresses can create a personality fine, but the vibes do not always work. And that's the most important thing for me to get into the movie. I can still enjoy it but I won't get nearly as into it. And I like Paige's voice better, to throw my opinion out there lol.

lililc ok,i saw the trailer, she wouldn't be my first option but she seems decent. Until now the only thing i don't like about Belle in the new movie is the dress , everything else looks pretty good

hatelarxene I love this article! Emma Watson is the perfect Belle. The only thing I would disagree with you on is that the original Belle's voice is just "okay" while Emma's voice is "stunning" (though it is good). No way is Emma Watson a better singer than Paige O'Hara. No way. I honestly don't get the criticisms that she looks "nothing like Belle". Lily James didn't look like Cinderella, either, and Elle Fanning DEFINITELY looked nothing like Aurora whatsoever (and honestly, those two looked even less like their animated counterparts than Emma does to Belle). I'd rather have someone who doesn't look like the character but can actually ACT (such as James, Fanning, or especially Watson, who's also one of my favorite actresses) rather than someone who looks more the part yet CANNOT act to save lives (*cough* Emmy Rossum *cough*. Seriously, I don't know why so many people want Rossum as Belle).

Mongoose09 ^ agree, for sure. Emma definitely looks more like Belle than those two did as their characters (I love Lily James as Cinderella, don't get me wrong).

fansfunsz i have adored her

Sparklefairy375 Completely agree with Hatelarxene!

quishy11 I actually think Lily James looks more like Belle than Cinderella and a lot more like Belle than Emma Watson.

BelleAnastasia's Most Beautiful Disney Princess liste ())>---

posted by BelleAnastasia

This is my liste of the Prettiest Disney Princesses. Enjoy :)

10. Ariel

"You'd find it easier to be bad than good if toi had red hair," a dit Anne reproachfully. "People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is." - (by character Anne Shirley speaking to her guardian Marilla in book 'Anne of Green Gables')

Probably there will be quite a lot of unhappy people seeing Ariel so low on my list, but I just don't think she's pretty. She is cute at the most IMO. She has some good shots in the movie, but there are not that many of them. I don't like her hair (except for when...

haut, retour au début Ten Saddest Disney Princess Moments

posted by princesslullaby

Disney Princesses all have heartbreaking moments.

I decided to make this because I felt like it. Disney Princess films have had a lot of sad moments, and they were important points of the movie. Disney Princesses always go through hardship and heartbreak, and maybe that's why we l’amour them so much and can relate. While I may not write as eloquently as other users on here, I'll try to do my best to explain. Here's my countdown of the haut, retour au début ten.

10. Snow White's terror in the woods. How would toi like being told your stepmother was going to kill you, and then having to run into scary dark woods where branches grab toi and logs attack? While...

Disney Princess Heights

posted by GotheDistance

I have seen a few Disney Princess Threads talking about the heights of the Disney princesses. I am going to give my opinion based on myself and facts.

Tall;
Esmeralda: She's not an official princess, but yes, she is the tallest. It has been confirmed.
Pocahontas; She's almost the height as John Smith, who was a tall man. She was always drawn with really long legs.
Elsa: She is Norwegian, the oldest, and has always just seem tall to me, even when she was younger.
Megara; Meg has the seconde tallest boyfriend, and is around his neck. I'm going to count it.

Medium;

Aurora; Though they say she is the...

WHY FLYNN IS THE BEST Disney PRINCE!

posted by JaimeRay

Flynn "theyjustcan'tgetmynoseright" Rider.

There are a lot of Aladin and Price Eric fans out there – and while I’ll admit I’m a fan of both – neither come close to the swashbuckling (and smouldering) perfection that is Flynn Rider. He’s heroic, hilarious and has plus than enough personality to share with the pre-1989 Prince’s. He is, par far, my favourite Disney prince – and for the life of me, I can’t understand how people so easily overlook him. And that is exactly why I’m écriture this article – to give credit where credit is due.

I’ve divided this article up into 4 parts – Heroicness, Humor, Personality &...

Why I l’amour Elsa

posted by dclairmont

Elsa as a kid, before she had to hide her powers

There are going to be spoilers, of course, so I wouldn't read this if toi haven't watched the movie yet! Anyway, I've written an article like this for Aurora, Snow, and Tiana, and thought it was only right to write one for my new seconde favori princess, Elsa. I plan on making these for all of the princesses at some point, since I do l’amour them all, but I was just really excited to write about Elsa ASAP. So without further ado, let's get started!

Going into Frozen, I had a feeling I was going to l’amour Elsa. She's different from anything we've ever gotten before, and gives us a fresh point of...

All of Elsa's Outfits in order Part 1

posted by elsafan1010

Hello to everyone! It's me, Elsafan1010. Actually, I should have written this article a jour ago, but I changed it a bit. This article was going to be about all of Elsa's dresses, I was even écriture about what she wore when she was little. But then I realized that her childhood clothes were boring. Most were dark blue dresses with black embroidered edges. Of course, beautiful dresses (everything Elsa is perfect) but boring subjects for an article. That's why I'm going to write down the clothes of when she was a young girl (queen) in detail and indicate the hairstyles ou the accessory she used...

Disney Princesses and their pets

posted by elsafan1010

This time my article will be about the pets of Disney princesses. I find them all sweet. Do not forget to mention your favori pet in the comments.

1- Elsa (Bruni)
Elsa had become good Friends with Bruni, the feu spirit. Bruni is a lizard, so he's considered a pet.

2- Rapunzel (Pascal and Maximus)
Rapunzel's best friend and pet is the sweet Pascal, whose chameleon. Pascal is really smart. Pascal is my favori pet. Maximus isn't really Rapunzel's horse, but he's with her throughout the adventure, so it's sort of like a pet.

3- jasmin (Rajah)
Jasmine's pet was Rajah, a huge tiger. She was very good Friends with him.

4- Merida (Angus)
Merida had a loyal and furry horse named Angus. Angus was completely black, with only a few whites on his nose.

5- Cinderella( mice)
Cendrillon got along with mice and could talk to them. She even sewed clothes for mice.

6- Pocahontas( Meeko and Flit)

That bird and the fluffy friend were her friends
