#and belle and beast for end duet/transformation

[anecdotal-acorn]

genuinely one of the best things in life is earbuds that put different characters' voices in different ears when you're listening to a cast recording

The ghosts after they died: Home

The ghosts when Alison came into their afterlives: second reprise of Home (Belle sings this to a dying beast). ‘For you know I wont run away,’ is Alison saying to the ghosts that she will always be there for them.

ANTOINE

OMFG HE BETTER COME BACK

I LOVE ABF

WAIT THATS IT

FWBEGLEWG

THATS IT

hey they ended with andrew barth feldman what more can you ask for?

Thats...it?

Oh wait some cast stuff...brb ima cry. The ending has some very series finale energy...I’m scared. Natalie wouldn’t have done the “buckle up wildcats” if there wasn’t a season 3, right? But the bloopers at the end...

The cast ending was great. “You are the Music in Me” was so heartfelt and I’m a sucker for bloopers.

Wait so no Lily home? It was probably a cut scene. 

If we got Lily home, can we get an album with the cast singing all the BATB songs? 

I have so many mixed feelings about this episode. Here is the thing, if you love the core 4 then this was your episode. If you’re like me and prefer the side leads then this was probably a little disappointing since we barely saw them. This episode felt rushed and a little messy, but there were some great moments. Season 2′s writing has felt a little weird. This season lacked the chaotic theater kid energy season 1 had. It was one of the reasons I fell in love with the show. If/when we get a season 3 I really hope the writers find that energy again.

Let’s all give a round of applause for the cast and crew who filmed majority of the season during a global pandemic. That could not have been easy. They gave us a pretty good season under crazy conditions. They definitely had to change some things to fit the current climate. Overall, hats off the the cast and crew because you guys killed it. 

I’m really going to miss this show, hopefully it gets renewed. It has become a comfort show these past several weeks. My sanity says “no, don’t go” but my sleep schedule says “leave.”

To second chances!!

[theteaisaddictive]

i've been imagining prince adam singing angsty troybbolton songs pls send help

BET ON IT (bet on it) (2/2)

this spiralled downwards so quickly anon, I hope you’re happy.

ok so I’m stuck on ‘Belle’, but ‘Belle: Reprise’ is 100% ‘Scream’.

‘Getcha Head in the Game’ is a duet sung by Stanley and Lefou, both struggling with their feelings during the athletic energy of ‘Gaston’. 

The servants sing ‘Work This Out’ in the kitchens while Lumiere entertains Belle with ‘be Our Guest’.

Upbeat ‘What I’ve Been Looking For’ (aka The Best Version because Sharpay is the better performer Fight Me) replaces ‘Something There’. 

At some point during the movie Cogsworth and Lumiere sing ‘I Don’t Dance’ and inexplicably switch costumes. Nobody comments on it.

‘May I Have This Dance’ replaces ‘Beauty and the Beast’ because it’s in the damn title. 

Belle sings ‘Gotta Go My Own Way’ when she leaves the castle; this (somehow) merges into ‘Bet On It’ as Beast resolves to face the end of the curse with dignity (and of course Beast leaps around the towers in a similarly dramatic way).

Gaston sings ‘Stick to the Status Quo’ instead of ‘The Mob Song’. 

[Random White Villager: [spoken] Well, if Belle can share her secret love for something, I can share mine. Hip-hop is my passion!

Headmaster: [spoken] What.

RWV: [spoken] I love to pop and lock and jam and break!

Headmaster: [spoken] Such lust-inspiring movements can hardly be legal!

Gaston: [spoken] Throw them in with Belle and the old man!

RWV: [spoken] It’s just dancing!

Company: [sung] No! No! No! Nooooooo (no no noooooo)!

Said RWV pops and locks and jams and breaks themselves, Belle, and Maurice out of the cart, and helps to distract the asylum guy.]

When Belle comes back and cries over the Beast’s body, she sings the down tempo version of ‘What I’ve Been Looking For’. Immediately post-transformation, Belle and the prince sing ‘The Start of Something New’.

the Finale becomes ‘We’re All In This Together’, complete with original choreography.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST MUSICAL

STORY

It tells the story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

thoughts on BATB Musical OBC Recording

I finally listened to it guys, be proud of me. anyways heres some slightly organized thoughts:

The Cast:

no real complaints. there were a few times where my love of Hercules made me imagine Megara instead of Belle, but thats my fault more than anything. it was really disorienting hearing a Beast voice that didn’t go through a billion layers of audio editing, and it made him sound a lot more human (whether or not thats a good thing is up to you to decide, but I’m down with it). the only voice I didn’t really like was Lumiere. I’m used to the spontaneous energy of Jerry Orbach or the over-the-top-ness of Ewan McGregor, and I just feel like the Broadway Lumiere didn’t deliver on that.

The Additional Songs:

No Matter What/No Matter What (Reprise): I think the thing I like the most about these two is how it made Maurice significantly less dumb than cartoon Maurice (anyone who’s spent 2 minutes on this blog knows how much I hate him). just giving him his own song (whether its this or HDAMLF) fleshes out his character miles beyond what the cartoon ever did and I appreciate that.

Me: I LOVE this song sooooo much. its shows Gaston’s ego pretty well and is just overall hilarious. some of the lines are really good, like “certain as Do Re” and basically the entire first verse to be honest. also, “pumpkin, extend with me” is the single dirtiest line I’ve ever heard in a disney song and it’s great.

Home/Home (Reprise): songs in a musical represent an outburst of emotion, so these songs actually make so much sense? like it show’s such a deeper representation of Belle’s reaction to being locked up and I love it.

How Long Must This Go On: it’s good, but it feels unnecessary since If I Can’t Love Her is a thing and their themes are so similar. speaking of which...

If I Can’t Love Her: OK IT’S REALLY GOOD BEFORE I GO ON I NEED TO SAY THAT IT WAS REALLY GOOD AND I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT HOWEVER if I had to pick between this or Evermore, I would go with Evermore (I’ll explain why at the Reprise). but the song felt kinda underwhelming? like I said, I really did like it, but a lot of people were like “oh, it’s like Evermore, but better” so I was expecting something better than Evermore. as powerful as Evermore? definitely. but better than Evermore? I can’t say that with sincerity.

Maison des Lunes: this song literally just exists to show you how evil Gaston is. famarito. we already have Gaston (Reprise). chill

If I Can’t Love Her (Reprise): ok, here’s why I prefer Evermore over If I Can’t Love Her- the Beast is already an edgelord. in the cartoon, musical, or live action, the Beast is a fucking edgelord. and his edgelord-ness makes him a lot harder to like. both versions of If I Can’t Love Her just add to that. while it makes sense when the first version is sung, you’d think that by now in the story, he’s learned how to have a better grip on his emotions, WHICH HE DOES! that’s what makes Evermore work so well, it shows us how Belle’s changed him for the better because while he’s still sad that she’s probably not coming back, he’s grateful for all Belle’s done for him. in If I Can’t Love Her (Reprise), he’s basically just like “FUCKALL KIDDOS SHES NEVER COMING BACK I HAVE NO PURPOSE IN LIFE ANYMORE”. he didn’t need to still be that much of an Edgelord at this point in the story.

End Duet/Transformation: its really nice, but during the entirety of Belle’s part, I was like “girl this is unnecessary just say you fucking love him”

Final Thoughts:

I very high key wanna see a production of this now someone hmu.

[andrewlloydwebber]

Would (x song from the musical) have worked in the BATB movie, also, will they add songs from the movie to the stage show?

No Matter What- I feel like Kevin Kline’s singing was criminally underused, however this song wouldn’t have worked with the new characterization for Belle and Maurice, also 2017!Belle doesn’t really get concerned about what people think unless it directly affects/annoys her. It would have been nice with some rewrites, but again they probably wanted to save money on autotuning Emma’s voice. With a proper musical theatre actress and a different approach, it could work. VERDICT: NOT IN BILL CONDON’S VISION FOR THIS MOVIE

Me- This is my favorite new song from the musical, and I thought Luke Evans did a good job with the material, however he doesn’t really have the operatic quality to his voice that this song requires. I found him most pleasant to listen to out of the main cast, and it’s really a shame they didn’t write him a solo. However, Gaston in this version is more calculating and less oblivious. I thought the proposal scene was overwhelming for multiple reasons, maybe a song would have helped. I’d love to see Luke Evans cover this song someday but my VERDICT: NO (but hypothetically in a better movie it could)

Home- yes, instrumentals of this song was included in the movie, however, this song seems like too indulgent for the screen and it kind of doesn’t really make sense... Belle wants adventure, yet she misses her home. What she really misses is her father and her freedom. Also with the setup that Lumiere and Cogsworth bring her to her room, not the Beast, she really doesn’t get a moment alone to reflect. Even if she did have a moment alone, this wouldn’t work on screen and frankly with Emma’s vocals. So, VERDICT: NO (even in a better movie)

Home (Reprise)- no point in a reprise if you don’t have the original. VERDICT: NO

Gaston (reprise)- Okay so this was technically in the original movie as well but... I think it’s a good song, and would work in a better version of this movie. But with gay, mixed emotions Lefou, it doesn’t make sense to have him gleeful about this. Also, I really hate that Gaston tried to kill Maurice about halfway through the movie. Part in the power of the Mob Song is that Gaston really shows his true colors and things get uglier than expected. Him being ready to murder is just... weird. Also, why was Agathe willing to curse the prince for not being a good host but not curse Gaston for trying to murder someone and calling her a hag? VERDICT: NO (but hypothetically in a better movie it could)

If I Can’t Love Her- The Beast doesn’t need two epic power ballads, so I vote no to having this AND Evermore. This song is good, however it really only works as an act closer. If the BATB movie were to have an intermission (remember movie musicals with intermissions?) I guess it would work, but in this narrative, it would really stop the action and also it would make no sense to see him sing this song and be like “oh okay let me go save her.” Also, the creepy CGI Beast singing with his mouth is disconcerting and I really hate watching it, so the less singing her does the better. Dan Stevens could pull it off with the voice editing they did (notice how he’s never sung Evermore live at any press event), but it wouldn’t work on film. VERDICT: NO

Human Again: It would be nice to give Audra another solo, however this would have been ridiculously expensive to animate. It would have been nice, however Be Our Guest cost some $10 million (and is said to be the most expensive movie musical number of all time) and is way more of an iconic number, so it made sense to save money by cutting this number. If they had used more practical effects and less CGI, it would have worked. VERDICT: YES

Maison Des Lunes- If they hadn’t introduced the stupid killing Maurice subplot, yes, it would be nice. But instead, we got some random half baked last minute plan from Gaston. I feel bad for the actor playing Monsieur de Arque, but at least his look wasn’t based on antisemitic stereotypes this time around.

If I Can't Love Her (Reprise)- this song was basically replaced with Evermore, which is... just weird. I’d rather have a little short reprise instead of a full fledged epic ballad, I feel like Evermore stops the action and is just... weird. I know I said I would personally not use IICLH if I was in charge, so I will say VERDICT: NO (but they should have put a better song here)

A Change In Me- I think this song makes no sense because the point of the show is that Belle doesn’t change, the Beast changes, which is why she falls in love with him. This song just gives more ammo to the people with a cursory knowledge of literary/theatre/film analysis that “THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IS ABOUT STOCKHOLM SYNDROME, GUYS!” Also, I’m waiting for the Mob Song while watching this, I wanna get to the good stuff. Also I don’t want to hear Emma Watson sing anymore. Anyway, my VERDICT: NO 

Home (Reprise II)- I feel like Belle could have sang something here, but also Emma Watson could have acted more here, So  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ VERDICT: NO

End Duet/Transformation- It would have been nice to have the Prince sing after being transformed, but then they couldn’t have used voice editing software to cloak Dan Stevens’ voice so like, no... VERDICT: YES (in a better movie)

Also, will they/should they add Evermore, Days in the Sun, etc. into the musical? They better not, and Linda Woolverton better not let them. They’re working on a cruise ship musical adaption of the movie, so I think they’ll probably leave the stage show alone. 

[enchantedxrose]

Beauty and the Beast 30-day challenge: Day 16

16. Did you have a favorite/least favorite new song?

I really adore “Home.” It’s a fairly succinct and eloquent exploration of everything Belle is feeling after taking her father’s place as a prisoner, and she really experiences a tangle of emotions. 

First anger at the Beast for the unjust way they’ve been treated (the only time she ever calls him a “monster,” and it’s because of something he’s done, not what he is). Then she’s feeling lost and helpless and frightened (“never dreamed that a home could be dark and cold”), and then the grief of losing her dad and any kind of freedom to pursue her dreams sort of settles over her. 

But instead of being paralyzed by all these (understandable) emotions, by the end of the song Belle resolves not to let this situation crush her spirit--that even though she may be physically trapped, her captor can’t control what she thinks and feels, and so she’s going to hang onto that autonomy--and part of that is continuing to think about and miss her father and her previous life (“my heart’s far, far away, home and free”).

Really, this song makes me admire her all the more as a character, because it shows how human she really is, reacting in a realistic way to her situation, being angry and sad and hopeless, but it also shows how resilient she is. She’s not impervious to grief but she’s also not going to let it destroy her. 

I also love that this song introduces the theme of home and all its possible meanings, which is a concept that comes back a few times throughout the story. Most notably, during the transformation duet (which is probably my actual favorite song because omg i cry every time so many feelings). 

This is when Belle realizes that, for her, home is not a place and it never was. The village was never home for her, because she didn’t fit in and she faced judgment wherever she turned. But now she has found home in a person, one she feels comfortable being herself around, one who makes her laugh and admires her bravery and loves her quirks. A person that feels at home when he’s with her, too. 

That’s why I think this story is in many ways about Belle figuring out what it is that she really wants. Sure, she asks for an adventure in the great wide somewhere, because she thinks that’ll fill the hole of discontentment in her life, but then when she’s thrust into a dangerous situation, she realizes that’s not all it’s cracked up to be. It’s the second part of her “I Want” song that’s the more honest: she wants someone to understand.

I’m not saying that the moral of the story is to seek out romance instead of adventure. In this case, Belle gets to experience a little of both. But physically traveling to another place isn’t necessarily going to change who you are inside or make you feel any more satisfied with your life. Sometimes the real journey has to happen within yourself. Ultimately it’s companionship and understanding that Belle needed (and yes, she happened to find that within a romantic relationship). 

So yes, Belle finds that a taste of adventure is nice for a while, but she really wants to feel at home for once in her life. And that’s exactly what she finds by the end.

(Also don’t ask me to pick a least favorite song, I refuse.)

40 Things You NEVER Knew About Your Favorite Disney Princesses

You most likely grew up watching the classic Disney movies with princesses you would pretend to be while wearing a costume from Toys’R Us as you danced around the house. Maybe that was last week for you no judgement…you do you but most likely it’s a cherished childhood memory.

But did you know those girls were holding out on you? How old is Snow White really? And what size shoe did Cinderella wear? Exactly.

You don’t know all their secrets, until now…

1

Walt Disney’s favorite princess was Cinderella.

via: Playbuzz

Ilene Woods, who voiced the character of Cinderella, remembered Walt Disney saying to her, “You’re my favorite heroine, you know.” She said, “You mean Cinderella?” “Yes,” he said, “there’s something about that story I associate with.”

2

Elsa’s ice palace changes color to reflect her feelings.

via: PopSugar

When she is happy, the castle is blue.It turns red when she is scared, yellow when she is angry, and purple when she is sad.

When she’s really moody I imagine it looks like a Disco ball in there.

3

The only Disney princess who has a duet with a villain is Anna from Frozen.

via: Wikimedia

Apparently bad guys aren’t so into singing little musical numbers with the people they’re about to corrupt except Hans he can’t keep that song to himself.

4

Sleeping Beauty only has 18 lines in the whole movie, the least of any princess.

via: PopSugar

That makes sense, seeing as she’s sleeping most of the time.

How can I get that gig?

5

“Part of Your World” was almost cut from The Little Mermaid.

via: Disney

Why? Because some kid in the test audience spilled his popcorn, which made the chairman of Walt Disney Studios think that children would think the slow song was boring instead of thinking kids spill crap all the time.

6

Belle is the only person in her town who wears blue.

via: PopSugar

This was done to show that she was an outsider among the townspeople.

But if you pay attention, you’ll see that The Beast is later wearing blue, and he has blue eyes, soit was basically meant to be if you’re into hairy guys.

7

Cinderella’s shoe size is a 4 1/2.

via: Wikimedia

That has to set some sort of tiny foot record.

And honestly, how hard could it be to find whose shoe that was? Are there that many people in the town with teeny tiny feet?

8

The only Disney princesses who wear pants are Jasmine and Mulan.

via: WordPress

In other words, they were the most comfortable princesses in all the land.

9

Hercules and Ariel are technically cousins.

via: Fanpop

Ariel is the daughter of Triton, who is the son of Poseidon, who is the brother of Zeus and the father of Hercules.

Can you imagine the volleyball game at that family reunion?

10

The argument over the color of Aurora’s dress is based on a real wardrobe squabble.

via: WordPress

There was said to be a disagreement in the studio about what the princess’s dress color should be,so they just added that into the film.

They were doing their own, “What color is the dress?!?” thing before that was ever cool.

11

Beyonc almost voiced Princess Tiana.

via: Wikimedia

Apparently she wasn’t Irreplaceable though, because herDreamgirls castmate Anika Noni Rose got the gig after Queen B didn’t think she should have to audition.

Hey, fair is fair.

12

The only Disney princess who doesn’t have an American accent? Merida.

via: Wikimedia

Which is odd, seeing as the Disney princesses are thought to be from around the world.

13

Cinderella’s dress transformation is said to be Walt Disney’s favorite piece of animation ever.

via: Daily Mail

See? Walt really did have a thing for Cinderella.

14

Mulan and Princess Tiana are the only left-handed princesses.

via: PopSugar

If you will recall, Ariel signed over her voice and combed her hair with a fork with her right hand, apparently.

15

The only Disney princess who has hazel eyes is Belle.

via: Disney

To be honest, they look kind of brown, but that’s the deal with hazel eyes they kind of just look like every color.

16

Sleeping Beauty‘s Aurora is the only princess who has violet eyes.

via: PopSugar

Nope, definitely not hazel.

17

In case there was confusion,Ariel was created as a redhead to differentiate her from the mermaid in Splash.

via: PopSugar

Since Daryl Hannah starred in Splash in 1984, Disney creators wanted Ariel to stand out from the famous blond mermaid by giving her fiery red hair.

Because, you know, it’s hard to tell a cartoon from an actual woman/mermaid.

18

The strand of hair that always falls into Belle’s face wasn’t meant to be a fashion statement, but rather meant to show that she wasn’t perfect.

via: Disney

“The only thing I wrote [to describe Belle physically] was ‘she has a little wisp of hair that keeps falling in her face’,” said Linda Woolverton, the first woman to write a screenplay for a Disney movie with Beauty and the Beast. “Because I wanted her not to be perfect. It was important that not every hair be in place.”

19

The only princesses with more than one love interest are Pocahontas and Princess Anna.

via: Film Inspector

Pocahontas is courted by both Kocoum and John Smith, and actually John Rolfe if we’re looking at the second movie and/or historical facts.

As for Frozen’s Princess Anna, she’s pursued by Prince Hans and Kristoff.

It’s hell being pretty, you know?

The dance between Prince Adam and Belle at the end of the movie is reused animation from Sleeping Beauty.

via: Pinterest

Ummm…awkward.Disney was running out of time during the production of Beauty and the Beast, so they just reused the animated dance between Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty.

21

Cinderella loses her shoe not once, not twice, but three different times throughout the film.

via: Pinterest

First, when she is delivering breakfast to her stepsisters and stepmother, second, when she is fleeing the prince’s castle at midnight, and finally, as she runs down the stairs at her wedding.

Crazy thought: Maybe get shoes that aren’t slip-ons.

22

Belle’s personality was inspired by a character from Little Women.

via: PopSugar

Linda Woolverton, screenwriter for Beauty and the Beast, said that she drew inspiration for Belle from Katharine Hepburn’s portrayal of Jo March in the 1933 version of Little Women.

23

The only princess who ever had an official job was Tiana.

via: PopSugar

Work it, girl!

Although Cinderella worked her shoes off, she never got paid for it. Figures.

24

Pocahontas almost had a different sidekick.

via: PopSugar

Shewas going to have a speaking sidekick a talking turkey named Redfeather voiced by John Candy, which would have been prettygreat.

But filmmakers decided to stick with mute sidekicks, and so we were givenMeeko, who was still kind of great.

25

Elsa is the only princess who isn’t a teenager.

via: Wikimedia

She’s actually 21 years old, which means she could keep some beer on ice in that Frozen castle of hers.

26

But Snow White? She was only 14 years old.

via: FanPop

Nope, nothing weird about a girl shacking up with seven strange men. Nothing weird at all…

27

The only Disney princess to kiss a villain was Jasmine.

via: Disney

I guess she took one for the team, but…yuck.

28

The only princesses to encounter snow were Belle and Mulan.

via: WIkimedia

Until Anna and Elsa came along, of course.

29

Aurora was the last princess to be created before Walt Disney’s death.

via: PopSugar

He passed away in 1966, 23 years before The Little Mermaid was released.

Not that it matters though, because remember, he loved Cinderella best.

The only Disney princess whose character is based on a real person is Pocahontas.

In the original story of Hua Mulan, she fools the troops until the end of the war and doesn’t reveal she is a woman until after it is over.

But, unlike Pocahontas, there isn’t solid proof of her actual existence.

Elsa was originally the villain of Frozen.

40 Things You NEVER Knew About Your Favorite Disney Princesses

You most likely grew up watching the classic Disney movies with princesses you would pretend to be while wearing a costume from Toys’R Us as you danced around the house. Maybe that was last week for you no judgement…you do you but most likely it’s a cherished childhood memory.

But did you know those girls were holding out on you? How old is Snow White really? And what size shoe did Cinderella wear? Exactly.

You don’t know all their secrets, until now…

1

Walt Disney’s favorite princess was Cinderella.

via: Playbuzz

Ilene Woods, who voiced the character of Cinderella, remembered Walt Disney saying to her, “You’re my favorite heroine, you know.” She said, “You mean Cinderella?” “Yes,” he said, “there’s something about that story I associate with.”

2

Elsa’s ice palace changes color to reflect her feelings.

via: PopSugar

When she is happy, the castle is blue.It turns red when she is scared, yellow when she is angry, and purple when she is sad.

When she’s really moody I imagine it looks like a Disco ball in there.

3

The only Disney princess who has a duet with a villain is Anna from Frozen.

via: Wikimedia

Apparently bad guys aren’t so into singing little musical numbers with the people they’re about to corrupt except Hans he can’t keep that song to himself.

4

Sleeping Beauty only has 18 lines in the whole movie, the least of any princess.

via: PopSugar

That makes sense, seeing as she’s sleeping most of the time.

How can I get that gig?

5

“Part of Your World” was almost cut from The Little Mermaid.

via: Disney

Why? Because some kid in the test audience spilled his popcorn, which made the chairman of Walt Disney Studios think that children would think the slow song was boring instead of thinking kids spill crap all the time.

6

Belle is the only person in her town who wears blue.

via: PopSugar

This was done to show that she was an outsider among the townspeople.

But if you pay attention, you’ll see that The Beast is later wearing blue, and he has blue eyes, soit was basically meant to be if you’re into hairy guys.

7

Cinderella’s shoe size is a 4 ½.

via: Wikimedia

That has to set some sort of tiny foot record.

And honestly, how hard could it be to find whose shoe that was? Are there that many people in the town with teeny tiny feet?

8

The only Disney princesses who wear pants are Jasmine and Mulan.

via: WordPress

In other words, they were the most comfortable princesses in all the land.

9

Hercules and Ariel are technically cousins.

via: Fanpop

Ariel is the daughter of Triton, who is the son of Poseidon, who is the brother of Zeus and the father of Hercules.

Can you imagine the volleyball game at that family reunion?

10

The argument over the color of Aurora’s dress is based on a real wardrobe squabble.

via: WordPress

There was said to be a disagreement in the studio about what the princess’s dress color should be,so they just added that into the film.

They were doing their own, “What color is the dress?!?” thing before that was ever cool.

11

Beyonc almost voiced Princess Tiana.

via: Wikimedia

Apparently she wasn’t Irreplaceable though, because herDreamgirls castmate Anika Noni Rose got the gig after Queen B didn’t think she should have to audition.

Hey, fair is fair.

12

The only Disney princess who doesn’t have an American accent? Merida.

via: Wikimedia

Which is odd, seeing as the Disney princesses are thought to be from around the world.

13

Cinderella’s dress transformation is said to be Walt Disney’s favorite piece of animation ever.

via: Daily Mail

See? Walt really did have a thing for Cinderella.

14

Mulan and Princess Tiana are the only left-handed princesses.

via: PopSugar

If you will recall, Ariel signed over her voice and combed her hair with a fork with her right hand, apparently.

15

The only Disney princess who has hazel eyes is Belle.

via: Disney

To be honest, they look kind of brown, but that’s the deal with hazel eyes they kind of just look like every color.

16

Sleeping Beauty‘s Aurora is the only princess who has violet eyes.

via: PopSugar

Nope, definitely not hazel.

17

In case there was confusion,Ariel was created as a redhead to differentiate her from the mermaid in Splash.

via: PopSugar

Since Daryl Hannah starred in Splash in 1984, Disney creators wanted Ariel to stand out from the famous blond mermaid by giving her fiery red hair.

Because, you know, it’s hard to tell a cartoon from an actual woman/mermaid.

18

The strand of hair that always falls into Belle’s face wasn’t meant to be a fashion statement, but rather meant to show that she wasn’t perfect.

via: Disney

“The only thing I wrote [to describe Belle physically] was ‘she has a little wisp of hair that keeps falling in her face’,” said Linda Woolverton, the first woman to write a screenplay for a Disney movie with Beauty and the Beast. “Because I wanted her not to be perfect. It was important that not every hair be in place.”

19

The only princesses with more than one love interest are Pocahontas and Princess Anna.

via: Film Inspector

Pocahontas is courted by both Kocoum and John Smith, and actually John Rolfe if we’re looking at the second movie and/or historical facts.

As for Frozen’s Princess Anna, she’s pursued by Prince Hans and Kristoff.

It’s hell being pretty, you know?

The dance between Prince Adam and Belle at the end of the movie is reused animation from Sleeping Beauty.

via: Pinterest

Ummm…awkward.Disney was running out of time during the production of Beauty and the Beast, so they just reused the animated dance between Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty.

21

Cinderella loses her shoe not once, not twice, but three different times throughout the film.

via: Pinterest

First, when she is delivering breakfast to her stepsisters and stepmother, second, when she is fleeing the prince’s castle at midnight, and finally, as she runs down the stairs at her wedding.

Crazy thought: Maybe get shoes that aren’t slip-ons.

22

Belle’s personality was inspired by a character from Little Women.

via: PopSugar

Linda Woolverton, screenwriter for Beauty and the Beast, said that she drew inspiration for Belle from Katharine Hepburn’s portrayal of Jo March in the 1933 version of Little Women.

23

The only princess who ever had an official job was Tiana.

via: PopSugar

Work it, girl!

Although Cinderella worked her shoes off, she never got paid for it. Figures.

24

Pocahontas almost had a different sidekick.

via: PopSugar

Shewas going to have a speaking sidekick a talking turkey named Redfeather voiced by John Candy, which would have been prettygreat.

But filmmakers decided to stick with mute sidekicks, and so we were givenMeeko, who was still kind of great.

25

Elsa is the only princess who isn’t a teenager.

via: Wikimedia

She’s actually 21 years old, which means she could keep some beer on ice in that Frozen castle of hers.

26

But Snow White? She was only 14 years old.

via: FanPop

Nope, nothing weird about a girl shacking up with seven strange men. Nothing weird at all…

27

The only Disney princess to kiss a villain was Jasmine.

via: Disney

I guess she took one for the team, but…yuck.

28

The only princesses to encounter snow were Belle and Mulan.

via: WIkimedia

Until Anna and Elsa came along, of course.

29

Aurora was the last princess to be created before Walt Disney’s death.

via: PopSugar

He passed away in 1966, 23 years before The Little Mermaid was released.

Not that it matters though, because remember, he loved Cinderella best.

30

The only Disney princess whose character is based on a real person is Pocahontas.

via: Wikimedia

Mulan’s warrior character was based on legend which we’ll get to next and it turns out that mermaids don’t really exist.

31

Mulan is based on a legendary Chinese female warrior.

via: Movie Pilot

In the original story of Hua Mulan, she fools the troops until the end of the war and doesn’t reveal she is a woman until after it is over.
