Disney Tag/Blog Party!

'ello everyone!

This tag was started by Amy, whose blog I just started following :) Really fun idea Amy! I'm excited :)
I found Amy's blog through Treskie who I believe is her sister? (Correct me if I'm wrong!) Check their blogs out people, they are pretty cool :)

Anyways. I decided I would do this. Because it's AWESOME!

Feel free to join in! All you have to do is answer the same questions and/or do an extra blog post of something Disney-related. I'm not sure if I will do the Disney post yet....keep checking though! I plan to do a lot more posting than I have in the past. A LOT more.

Amy drew this. Isn't it wonderful? Okay, on we go. Here is the first question:
 
 
1.) What is your favorite Disney Movie?
     
Snow white and the Seven Dwarves! I've loved that movie for a long time. The video at our local library practically lived at my house while I was growing up :D I wonder why we never bought it...:) I have my own copy now though!
 
 
2.) Favorite Princess?
    
 This is a hard one. Ummmmm....Sleeping Beauty/Princess Aurora/Briar Rose. Whatever you want to call her. I loved that movie too :) She was just so pretty and she liked to sing. And I like to sing. So yeah, she's probably my fave. I also like Giselle, Rapunzel, Merida, and Snow White a lot.
 
 
 
3.) Least Favorite Princess?
 
    It's a love/hate relationship really. I liked her more when I was child, but not so much now. It is none other than: Ariel. I'm sorry! I love mermaids (well, certain mermaids) but this one... *grimace*. I didn't like how she was dressed, how she was really disobedient, and how desperate she was to become human that she would give up her own VOICE! And that hair. Let's just not get into shall we?

4.) Do you like drawn animation or the computer animated movies better?

 I like both. But if I had to choose I would say drawn. I mean, can YOU imagine drawing all that out? I can't. So there.


5.) Favorite Male Character?
    
     TARZANNNNNN! No questions asked.
     I mean, who doesn't want a good looking, muscular man to sweep them off their feet? Just me? Oh. Okay. *embarrassed face*



6.) In your opinion, who was your favorite villain?
 
 Maleficent.
 She was just so EVIL. I mean, c'mon, look at that face!




 

7.) What is your favorite Disney hairstyle? ( I just had to ask that one!)
     
      Uh, Rapunzel's lovely flower-y hairstyle. DUH. It's beautiful.
 
      
                                       Although I also like several of Giselle's in Enchanted.
 
Pretty :)
 
8.) What is your favorite story?
     
Probably Beauty and the Beast. Whether reading it or seeing it, I've always loved the story. My second favorite would probably be Snow White.
 



9.) Which one has the best romance?
 
 I really liked the romance between Tarzan and Jane. It was just cute :)

 
10.) What is your favorite Disney song? *Mrhrhrhr* (Yeah, narrow it down to one!)
       
        Okay, make it even harder why don't ya ;)
        I like a lot of Disney songs but for now I will leave you with these lovely numbers.
 
 
                                 
                                    "Once Upon A December" from "Anastasia".
 
                               
                              "Can you feel the love tonight" from "The Lion King"
 
                              
                                    "I'll make a man out of you" from "Mulan".
 
11.) What is your favorite costume?
        
        Again, only ONE?!?!
        Okay, I really liked the blue dress Giselle wore in Enchanted. I might have to make one.
                             
                                    AAAAND of course, Rapunzel's purple dress in Tangled.
     

12.) Would you rather go to a ball with a midnight curfew or get lost in the forest and keep house for a bunch of dwarfs?

       I'm not very good at dancing ( I don't like the attention :P It's a bit hard to dance when people are watching me.) And I'd probably be late for my curfew.
       Organizing, cleaning, and keeping house is my thing. It's what I'm good at. So yeah, I'd say I would rather keep house for a bunch of dwarfs instead of having everybody stare at me at a ball. I  like balls, but not that much.



13.) Who is your favorite non-human character?
    
        Abu or Timon would be my first picks.
          

Ooooooh, and don't forget Maximus!




14.) Do you want adventure in the great wide somewhere or would you rather just be on an island of your own?
  
       I would take both. first the adventure(s) then the island :)


15.) What Disney movie is most likely to make you cry?



16.) What character do you most relate to?
    
        Definitely Rapunzel. This would be me if somebody broke into my house.



17.) What scene used to scare you the most?
    
        The part where Pocahontas saves John Smith. That was really scary to me as a child.


18.) Do you like Aurora's dress better in pink or blue?
      
       BLUE! For goodness sakes, anyone can see it looked better on her when it was blue. I thought it was dumb when Disney chose to advertise her in the pink version for everything. It was probably because Cinderella's dress was blue and they needed more variety :P


19.) Have you seen The Great Mouse Detective?
   
       Yes. A long time ago, but I remember liking it. I should see that again sometime soon.

                                           The girl was so cute in her tammy hat and scarf!

20.) What Disney movie, in your opinion, is the prettiest? Story aside, characters aside, what movie is just the most fun to look at?
   
         I always thought Mulan had some pretty scenery. Especially the scenes that involved cherry blossoms. Oh yes :)



Wow. I'm done?

                                          My sentiments exactly.



So there you have it! Please join, spread the word and have some fun! I did :)

Bye!
