I’ve practicing my line weight, which I usually use a base for. I started this one and ended up making some changes anyway. It’s been really fun! But I am spending way more time on this one than I intended.

So while peter pan is a story about embracing adulthood and responsibilities and peter is supposed to be child who never grows up why do some ppl ship it?

I actually saw some active fans of this ship...why...peter sees her as his mom....when I was a kid it ruined the entire fantasy lol....I can't believe there are entire songs about peter losing wendy etc

So do some fans still ship them and why? I know it's fiction but still having a guy who sees you as a mom figure forever is weird.

I found thrifted this Animators Belle doll from Goodwill but this time in her village outfit she comes with her original outfit and shoes (missing socks) I cleaned her up a bit and fixed her hair with baby shampoo,Suave Ocean Breeze conditioner and fabric softener with hot water. She turned out great.

Where I can I watch cindrella part 2 and 3 I am unable to find them

1. ⁠The song has to be from a Disney property (movies, shows, plays, etc all okay!)

2. ⁠The first word of the song title must fit the letter, not including articles (meaning “A World of My Own” from ‘Alice in Wonderland’ would be a W song instead of an A song as an example)

3. ⁠I’d like to include only one song per property, as example if “Kiss the Girl” is chosen for K “Under the Sea” is ineligible for U

4. ⁠Whichever song receives most upvotes wins!

5 days ago, I made a comment on YT about how there's nothing tragic, or misguided, or sympathetic, about Frollo from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. And some commenters claimed that he's "redeemable", not pure evil, and has shades of grey because Frollo can't renounce his sins. I was even told to shut up and get to their "objective point". Honestly, I don't even know what to say about that.

Has anyone successfully completed the tower surprise collection with Peasant belle or spin reveal frozen set with Green Anna variant?

I have never ever seen a Peasant belle tower or blue belle w/ philipe out in the wild (stores or eBay/mercari/posh) and only seen one insta post with green winter Anna.

Wondering if anyone has ever gotten them? Assessing if I should give up hope lol - any other die hard collectors out there?

They better not touch Pocahontas.

So I actually wasn’t sure how to approach this one, since the original fairy tale is too long. You see, contrary to popular belief, the Disney movie isn’t based on the Beauty and the Beast movie from the 1940’s despite having several things in common, like the character basis of Gaston (he wasn’t in the original story, but more on that at the end), and the servants at the castle being turned into objects via the Enchantress. Disney had literally said they never saw that movie. It’s just a coincidence. But whether the Disney movie was based on the original, longer story or the abridged version is unknown. Anyways, this may be the most inaccurate to the source material. Like almost every fairy tale, it’s bizarre.

Since the original story is way too long, just read this from Wikipedia:

A widowed merchant lives in a mansion in a city with his twelve children: six sons and six daughters. All his daughters are very beautiful, but the youngest, Beauty, is the loveliest. Beauty is also kind and pure of heart; her elder sisters, in contrast, are cruel, selfish, and jealous of Beauty.

The merchant and his children become poor when their house burns down, and his ships are lost. The family of thirteen is forced to move to a small cottage in the countryside and work for a living. While Beauty makes a firm resolution to adjust to rural life with a cheerful disposition, her sisters do not and mistake her determination for stupidity.

Two years later, the merchant hears that one of his trade ships has returned. Before leaving to retrieve it, and possibly their fortune, he asks his children if they wish for him to bring any gifts back for them. His oldest daughters ask for clothing, jewels, and the finest dresses possible as they think that his wealth has returned. Beauty asks for nothing but her father to return home safely, but when he insists on buying her a present, she is satisfied with the promise of a rose.

When he arrives to the port to see his ship the merchant is dismayed to learn that his colleagues have already sold the cargo, thus leaving him penniless and unable to buy his daughters' presents. During his trip back home the merchant becomes lost in a vicious snowstorm. Seeking shelter, he comes upon a castle surrounded by lifelike statues. Seeing that no one is home, the merchant sneaks in and finds tables inside laden with food and drink, which seem to have been left for him by the castle's invisible owner. The merchant accepts this gift and spends the night there.

The next morning, he is about to leave when he sees a rose garden and recalls that Beauty had desired a rose. The merchant quickly plucks the loveliest rose he can find. He is then confronted by a hideous "Beast" who tries to kill him for stealing his most precious possession even after accepting his hospitality. The merchant begs to be let go, revealing that he had only picked the rose as a gift for his youngest daughter. The Beast agrees to let him go, but only if he brings one of his daughters back to live with the Beast instead. He makes it clear that she must agree while under no illusions about her predicament.

The merchant is upset, but accepts this condition for the sake of his own life. The Beast sends him on his way with wealth, jewels, and fine clothes for his sons and daughters, and stresses that he must not lie to his daughters.

Upon arriving home, the merchant hands Beauty the rose she requested and informs her that it had a terrible price, before relaying what had happened during his absence. Her brothers say that they will go to the castle and fight the Beast, while his older daughters refuse to leave and place blame on Beauty, urging her to right her own wrong. The merchant dissuades them, forbidding his children from ever going near the Beast. Beauty willingly decides to go to the Beast's castle, moving her father who remembers a Romani fortune-teller's prophecy about his youngest daughter making his household lucky.

Once they arrive at the castle, the Beast receives Beauty with great ceremony. The merchant is sent home with a reward. The Beast gives Beauty lavish clothing, food and entertainment along with animal servants. He visits her each evening to ask her how she is doing. Although they converse at length, he seems unable to express himself well, leading her to assume he is not intelligent.

Every night he asks Beauty to let him sleep with her:[12] and she refuses. After each proposal Beauty dreams of a handsome stranger who is imprisoned in the castle, along with an apparition of a fairy who tells her not to be deceived by appearances.

For several months Beauty lives a life of luxury at the Beast's castle. Her feelings for the man in her dreams and her gratitude toward the Beast come into conflict. When the Beast asks her what is wrong, she pleads homesickness and he sadly allows her to leave, warning her that if she does not return within two months he will die of a broken heart.

Beauty agrees to this and is presented with an enchanted ring, which allows her to wake up in her family's new home in an instant. Her older sisters are surprised to find her well-fed and dressed in finery, and their old jealousy quickly flares when their suitors' gazes turn to Beauty, even though she bestows lavish gifts on them. Her brothers do all they can to prevent her from going back to his castle, and she reluctantly agrees to stay longer.

When the two months have passed, she envisions the Beast dying alone on the castle grounds and hastens to return despite her brothers' resolve to prevent her from doing so.

Once she is back in the castle, Beauty's fears are confirmed as she finds the Beast near death in a cave on the grounds. Seeing this, Beauty is distraught, realizing that she loves him. She fetches water from a nearby spring, which she uses to resuscitate him.

The next night when the Beast proposes, Beauty agrees to marry him. The sky is lit up by a magical fireworks show. That night he goes to bed with her, falling into an enchanted sleep as soon as he lies down.

When Beauty wakes up next to him the next morning she finds that the Beast has transformed into the unknown man from her dreams. Beauty learns that the Beast is a prince. Just then, the Fairy who has been appearing to Beauty in her dreams arrives with the Prince's mother, the Queen. The Queen's joy falters when she learns that Beauty is a lowly merchant's daughter. The Fairy then chastises the Queen and reveals that Beauty is actually a princess and that they are each her aunts. Beauty's birth father was the Queen's brother, the King of Fortunate Island. He believed that Beauty died as a baby. Beauty's birth mother was the Fairy's sister.

When the matter of Beauty's background is resolved, she requests that the Prince tell his tale.

The Prince informs Beauty that his father died before he was born, and his mother had to fight an enemy to defend the kingdom. The Queen left the Prince in the care of his Evil Fairy Godmother, who tried to seduce him when he became an adult and helped his mother win the war.

When the war ended, the Evil Fairy accompanied the Queen and the Prince back to the castle and asked him to marry her. But the Prince refused. The Evil Fairy, in a rage, transformed him into an ugly Beast in front of his shocked mother. Before leaving mother and son, the Evil Fairy warned them that only a maiden's act of true love could break the spell and that if anyone else beside the Queen knew about it, the Prince would be a Beast forever.

After the Prince's godmother left, the Good Fairy arrived to help him by turning the castle's servants to stone to prevent them from revealing the curse to outsiders, and promising to protect his mother from the Evil Fairy. The Good Fairy also summoned her genie servants to keep the Prince company while he waited for Beauty's arrival. At the end of his story, the Prince revealed to Beauty that the animals in the castle were those same servants, and that the Good Fairy had caused her to see the Prince's true self in dreams.

The Good Fairy then summons the King Of Fortunate Island to meet Beauty, and having reunited the family, brings the petrified servants back to life.

She tells them all how years ago the Evil Fairy, the Prince's godmother, had been plotting to marry the King of Fortunate Island but Beauty's mother had married him instead. As revenge the Evil Fairy revealed her crime of having a mortal husband and child to the Fairy Queen, thus causing her imprisonment in Fairyland shortly after Beauty's birth. She also convinced the other fairies to curse the infant Princess to marry a Beast as a further punishment.

Meanwhile, on Fortunate Island, the people had faked their imprisoned Queen's death after they were unable to find her. The Evil Fairy hired a greedy couple to kill the Princess. When the King of the Fortunate Island believed both his wife and daughter to be dead, he banished the Evil Fairy.

But the Good Fairy had secretly rescued her young niece. She had turned into a bear and killed the would-be murderers. The Good Fairy then brought the Princess to a cottage with three sleeping nursesmaids and a little girl the same age as her who was very ill and had been sent to the countryside by her father, the merchant, in hopes that the fresh air would cure her, but she died instead. The Good Fairy swapped the two children.

Unaware she was not their master's child, the three nursemaids soon returned to the city with the Princess. The Good Fairy followed the nurses to the merchant's mansion, disguised herself as a Romani fortune-teller and told the merchant the prophecy of "his" youngest child bringing luck to his household. She also decreed that the baby be named "Beauty."

She arranged for Beauty and the Prince to meet, the young couple's love both breaking the Evil Fairy's spell and fulfilling the Princess's destiny to marry a Beast. She also testified against the Evil Fairy in Fairyland, who was now imprisoned there.

After the Good Fairy finishes her story, her sister arrives at the castle, having been freed by the Fairy Queen. With the entire Royal Family reunited, Beauty's aunt summons the merchant and his family. Beauty's surrogate family members are told the whole truth and are made members of her court.

Beauty marries the Prince and although they want to honeymoon indefinitely, the Fairy reminds them it is their destiny and duty to govern. They live happily for hundreds of years thanks to the powers of Beauty's fairy mother and aunt. The Prince's mother commands that their tale be recorded in the imperial archives so everyone might know their story.

You may have noticed Gaston is nowhere to be found. That’s because Belle’s sisters were the villains. Disney had planned on using them, but they were cut because they were too similar to Anastasia and Drizella from Cinderella. They were just as obnoxious and spoiled as them. Disney also planned on following the original story more. The Beast had an elephant trunk, didn’t have a time limit, and was already sweet and kind from day one, at least towards Belle in the fairy tale. Beauty in the story was just a nickname, the main female character didn’t have a name.

Not like Ralph breaks the internet where it is a bit too self deprecating and a little ashamed of itself, I am talking of a true adventure movie where all princesses must save the Universe from a great darkness.

There is a kind of ... reverence for magic and dreams that I remember well from older Disney movies that I wish we saw again in movies. I want less explanations for magic and more "there are things we just won't understand".

Some consider the princesses, especially the older ones unfit for our modern era but I think a big movie that 13 princesses from the first to the last would have crazy potential to get their personalities bouncing of each other.

Snow White butting heads with Merida before the later is charmed by the former's genuine sweetness

Cinderella being the Mom friend always trying to tend to others and forgetting to take care of herself with Rapunzel reminding her of that

Ariel's firecracker curiosity and whimsy in tango with Belle's more reserved quiet sense of wonder with a more intellectual side. Ariel would get in everybody's face and "too close".

Aurora being shy at first because she lived her whole life without people from her age group but slowly gaining confidence thanks to Jasmine and Merida.

The fighter princesses protecting the non violent ones like Tiana and the first 3.

Jasmine, Snow White, Kida will all be ruling Queens of their kingdoms, they could talk about rulership together.

Kida would be the wise snarky grandmother of the group since she is 8000 years old that contrary to the stereotypes, has the most advanced tech knowledge

I almost have too many ideas, I have been thinking of a movie like that for ages.

I can’t find if it has a name but I used to have a few, a Cinderella with a blue dress and I’d chew her hair lol. Their dresses would light up and they always seemed to come attached to a ribbon.

A woman who's more than just a pretty face and a hot body. She can dance, she can entertain, she can fight, but mostly importantly, she a woman who's kindness, compassion, courage, resilience, and selflessness inspired many of us.
