Been thinking of Charmine today and it just occurred to me - when they first see each other in person, would Kit be a little surprised at how...small Jasmine is? Lol. Maybe he makes some goofy comment about it too.

Kit would 100% try to compliment her, but it would sound like he's making fun of her, and she'd get pissed and then this scene would happen:

I always imagine Kit having a Phoebus "What a woman!" moment when he meets Jasmine x'D

✨ Aladdin and Jasmine ✨

[thatboleyngirl77]

By now I'm sure we've all heard the song Cinderella Snapped. You know:

"Rapunzel shaved her head so there was nothing to climb on,

Jasmine made out with Mulan," etc.

That second line is fine...

Until you remember that they shared the same singing voice actress.

Am I the only one who finds that weird?

Lea Salonga, you icon.

When I first watched this movie in the Early 90s, I actually thought they'd gotten married but it turns out they were celebrating their engagement

Tony Award winner, Grammy nominee, and Broadway star Lea Salonga showed her support for SUGA in a recent Instagram post, captioning: “Always behind you, Yoongi.”

** Lea Salonga did the singing parts as Jasmin in Aladdin (1992), titular in Mulan (1998) and Mulan II (2004)

Varian Love-Interest Part 2

What are your thoughts on Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada's on-stage chemistry? Whatever your thoughts are about the musical version of The Great Gatsby or about the couple Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan née Fay (in my personal opinion they aren't exactly a healthy pairing with Gatsby being obsessed with Daisy and Daisy being a shallow woman who cheats on her husband and ultimately breaks Gatsby's heart), I personally think that Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada have amazing vocal chemistry together and I've been actually excited to see these two amazing artists perform together for quite awhile.

I would love to hear them sing a cover of A Whole New World from Disney's Aladdin. I could see them becoming the next Brad Kane and Lea Salonga. Though Lea Salonga has still got it in my opinion.

I guess I'm asking because I'm imaging the dream-casting voice for my OC love interest of Varian's to be none other than Eva Noblezada herself. She has a beautiful, spirited and youthful voice that I think mirrors Lea Salonga's singing performances as Princess Jasmine and Mulan beautifully. I'd ultimately love her to do her speaking voice as well as it just fits a character so beautifully when both their speaking and singing voices are the same.

In theory, what are your thoughts on Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada playing other roles together, specifically as animated characters? What are thoughts on them playing a Disney couple? Do you think Eva Noblezada could play a convincing love interest for Jeremy Jordan's Tangled character?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this whether in comments and/or via poll. I'd really appreciate your feedback.

What is your honest thoughts on princess Jasmine? I’ve seen people hate on her and Ariel…

I love her! She's not one of my fav princesses (my personal favorite is Rapunzel, and my fav unofficial is Asha) but Jasmine is awesome!

I love how beautiful she is and her design is so pretty ❤️ I love her singing voice too, Lea Salonga killed it!

Her personality is awesome; she's smart, can recognize when things are unfair when no one else does, stands up for herself, is a quick learner, kind, confident, cares deeply about her loved ones, and free-spirited.

I also love her in the live action as well, and her song "Speechless" is 🔥

(are ppl really hating on her?! I've heard a lot of hate for Ariel but not Jasmine before. The Disney Princess hate is ridiculous at this point. Disney hate in general too)

Old New

Even though Charmine won't be a part of my lovestruck livestream this Thursday, I still decided to give Jasmine and Christopher a face makeover. I think Jasmine needed it even more than Holli did honestly xD

✨ I haven’t done a drawing of Princess Jasmine in a long time. Yet, today it felt appropriate to do so after so long. Yesterday, it was announced in an online Disney news article that longtime Disney animator Mark Henn had retired from the Walt Disney Animation Studios after working there for 43 years. I based this drawing of Jasmine on an animation drawing done by Henn. When it came to designing and animating Jasmine, Henn based her final design on his own sister, which is pretty interesting. Years ago in high school, I sent a letter to Mark Henn, wanting to make contact with him, and got a letter and an autographed picture as a response back from him.

Okay, so the short, “Once Upon a Studio” is patently perfect. It hit right in the nostalgia in the best way, and it was a treat to see 2D and 3D animation intertwined in a careful and meticulous way.

My one *teensy* complaint is hardly a complaint, but an observation that would have made it even better.

This moment with Mulan, Snow White, and Asha is so lovely to see. The old holding hands with the new is such a powerful thing. But it would have been even better if they’d replaced Mulan with Jasmine.

Hear me out!

Jasmine was Disney’s first Princess of color; Mulan came after Jasmine. And I know we see a brief glimpse of her in the crowd next to Isabella, but how great would it have been if we see snow, then Disney’s first POC, and the Asha? And it wouldn’t have been anything different to replace her, because Lea Salonga was the singing voice for Mulan AND Jasmine.

My only critique is hardly that, and it was an otherwise perfect short.

Giving it the full read, this profile is about how Lea Salonga and Arielle Jacobs contextualize Here Lies Love.

--

For both Jacobs and Salonga, who coincidentally have both played Princess Jasmine in Aladdin (Salonga in the Disney film and Jacobs in the Broadway show), Here Lies Love is the first time they are playing Filipinos on stage. It's a big moment for Jacobs especially because this is her first time leading a Broadway musical. Jacobs says her mom cried tears of joy upon hearing the news. Her grandfather, responded stoically with, "the Dictator..." recalls Jacobs, deepening her voice and saying it with a Filipino accent. 

Jacobs is aware that playing Imelda comes with its own share of baggage. “She represents a lot of pain for a lot of people,” Jacobs admits. At the same time, Jacobs has been doing her best to shut out the assumptions, and instead focus on Imelda as a character: a woman who rose to power and then was corrupted by it. “They aren’t born with devil horns,” says Jacobs of dictators like Marcos. “They were born as regular human beings…And then they turn into people who make choices that hurt a lot of people.” 

The key thing for Jacobs is that villains don't always know that they are villains. They rationalize their behavior as acceptable. And if Jacobs does her job right, the audience will start the show loving her and end it hating her: "And I'm not liking myself at the end of it, either" she exclaims.

Both actors are also adamant in saying that Here Lies Love does not glorify Imelda Marcos. To them, the musical explores how a dictatorship can take hold, how seductive it seems at the outset. Considering the rise of fascism around the world, such as the election of Donald Trump in America, the two actors think Here Lies Love has only become more relevant since it premiered a decade ago Off-Broadway.

Daily Dose of Disney (Princess): Mulan

So Mulan isn’t technically a princess, but she is always grouped in with them, and I love her! So she’s totally going on the list!

Princess: Mulan Movie: Mulan Year Released: 1998 Original Story: “The Ballad of Mulan”

Fun Facts: ~ Mulan isn’t actually based on a true story or real person, but an actual Chinese legend/poem. ~ In the legend, Mulan has a younger brother who is too young to fight. The Disney iteration portrays her sibling as her dog, appropriately named Little Brother.

~ Lea Salonga provided the singing voice for Mulan, as well as Princess Jasmine. She is the only woman to voice two Disney princesses. ~ Mulan’s sidekick, Mushu, was supposed to have a song in the movie, but it was later cut. ~ Princesses typically don’t kill people, but Mulan is technically the princess with the highest kill count. She kills 1,995 people in her movie. ~ She is the first Disney princess to not be an actual princess, as she wasn't born to royalty. She also didn't marry a prince. ~ She's also the first Disney princess to be raised by her biological parents for her entire childhood and the second to have both of her parents alive during her childhood (the first was Aurora). ~ Mulan is the first Disney princess to not sing about her love for a hero or prince. ~ She is the first princess to be seen getting a haircut in a Disney movie, and the the first princess to be visibly physically wounded. ~ Mulan fights with one hand and writes with the other, implying that she is ambidextrous. ~ The gorgeous flowers in the film are commonly associated with cherry blossoms, which are native to Japan rather than China (though there are cherry blossoms in China as well). It’s speculated that the pink blossoms are actually magnolias, and it’s said that the name Mulan means “blossom.”
