Disney Favorites

When boredom hits, I do these kind of things... (P.S. I'm sticking to animated films only)

1) What is your favorite Disney movie?

I have three. I cannot pick just one. They are Beauty and the Beast, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Tangled. Of course I love so many more, but those are my top three, go-to movies. I love them SO MUCH!!! They're the ones that literally get me teared up at the beauty, the emotion, the songs, the characters, the romance, the animation, just everything.

2) Who is your favorite heroine?

Rapunzel from Tangled. I love her adorable curiosity, her sweetness, and the way she half-confidently always tries to take control of situations (it reminds me of myself). I also love her design.

3) Who is your favorite hero?

Flynn Rider/Eugene Fitzherbert from Tangled. I love his snark and wit, but how he still has a heart of gold and is a great big softy.

4) Who is your favorite sidekick?

A huge toughie. Probably Ray from The Princess and the Frog. He's so cute and funny, but still sweet and charming and full of hope and unwavering love for his Evangeline.

5) Who is your favorite villain?

Again, very tough. Villains are always my favorite part of a story. I'm gonna have to go with Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty because she's just so evil in everything she does. Her design is boss and even though her plan is kinda stupid, she goes to extraordinary lengths to see it fulfilled.

6) Who is your favorite couple?

I'm sorry to keep bringing it up, but Rapunzel and Flynn/Eugene from Tangled. It's why that movie is one of my favorites. Their romance is one of the gosh-darn cutest, most perfect things I've ever seen on screen!

7) What is your favorite dance scene?

The ballroom dance from Beauty and the Beast. The song, the way Belle's dress moves as they dance, the animation of the ballroom, how you can see their love, just everything about it! Perfection!

8) What is your favorite kiss?

Belle and the Prince from Beauty and the Beast. I just love Beauty and the Beast so much, okay? It is a near perfect movie as far as I'm concerned. And that romance is so good! So when they kiss, it makes me so happy! The fireworks, the music, the sparkles, how they wrap their arms around each other, just ahh! Yes!

9) What is your favorite song?

"I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan. Hands down the best song Disney has ever produced. If you don't get pumped every time you hear this song, you are wrong and probably not human.

10) What is your favorite fight/battle sequence?

I was debating between a few, but I decided on the battle at the archery tournament in Robin Hood. It's just a lot of fun. There's so much going on and it's all so clever and entertaining; sword fights, pie fights, mock football, running tents, crumbling walls, a marriage proposal, etc. It's great!

11) What is your favorite opening?

The Hunchback of Notre Dame, definitely. That has got to be one of the most epic openings ever. Just black with some bells ringing and some quiet chanting then all of a sudden we're in the sky with the towers of Notre Dame and epic choir singing, then we come down on Clopin who's telling some kids the story of "a man and a monster" through song. So freakin' good!

12) What is your favorite climax?

Sleeping Beauty. The movie itself is not all that exciting (at least in comparison to other Disney films), but when it comes to the climax, my goodness does it get intense! The music is amazing and that animation is flawless with the lightning, the thorn forest, the dragon, all of it!

13) What is your favorite ending?

I'm gonna have to say Tarzan. I love how it wraps the message together with the "Two Worlds (Reprise)" song as the characters swing through the trees and then end with the Tarzan yell. Yusss! Boom!
