Presenting...
The Tin Soldier & The Violinist!
Tumblr media
On a mantelpiece, in a playroom, in a big old house, a one-legged tin soldier befriends a porcelain figurine. But up on the high, high shelf, a nasty broken toy wants to keep them apart...

Fairytale Moodboards // The Steadfast Tin Soldier
She too was steadfast. That touched the soldier so deeply that he would have cried tin tears, only soldiers never cry. He looked at her, and she looked at him, and never a word was said.

For the TF Fairytale AUs, what would you suggest for Knockout x Breakdown?
I personally do not know a enough about their dynamic to make a clear judgement on that as I am still rather new to the Transformers fandom. I've only watched Transformers one, Prime, the first season of Earthspark and a *tiny* bit of cyberverse and the first episode of Transformers animated as of now. But I am aware that they are conjunx in the comics.
So: From what I can tell of their dynamic going off the TF media I have watched so far and the couple of fanarts of them that I have seen, I'd say a fairytale that would fit them would either be the finnish Fairytale of the Forest Bride or the steadfast tin soldier by Hans Christian Andersen or depending on if you enjoy a bit of angst (but not to the extreme of HCA's fairytales) maybe the japanese fairy tale of the Crane Wife, might be a good fit for them in my eyes. There is a beautiful vocaloid song adaptation of that tale if you are curious called [Feathers across the Seasons]

There won't be internet tomorrow, so I'll post it now.
Day 17 - Ballet (I really like the old Soviet cartoon "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" from 1976 based on Anderson's fairy tale. There are very nice character designs, and very beautiful songs. The ballerina is from this cartoon.) February drawing challenges from @thepromptfoundry.

Cecelia Núñez Turner, born in Avalor, was the daughter of Chancellor Naomi Turner and General Gabriel Núñez. Naomi traveled to other kingdoms as an ambassador for Avalor and Cecelia often went with her. While in Eudora's kingdom in the Magical Forest, Cecelia meets Stephen Lévêque.* Stephen was a soldier in Eudora's army. He lost his leg in the war and now wears a prosthetic. For his heroism he was granted title, land, and a manor home. Stephen and Cecelia fell in love and married in Avalor. They settled down in the manor as Viscount and Viscountess. Cecelia and Stephen had a daughter, Ella Lévêque Núñez. When Ella was a little girl, Stephen perished saving someone's life in a fire.
*Stephen Lévêque is an OC. He's an allusion to the tin soldier from The Steadfast Tin Soldier by Hans Christian Anderson and the Piano Concerto No. 2 segment from Fantasia 2000.

I had no idea... 😰
We never really talked about it but The Ugly Ducking that grew up to be a beautiful swan was still probably pretty fugly from a duck’s perspective

Details:
1940s Hans Christian Andersen shorts: Intended as animated segments within a live-action film about the author's life, these would have adapted The Little Mermaid, The Fir Tree, Through the Picture Frame, The Emperor's Nightingale, and The Steadfast Tin Soldier. (Yes, I know we got adaptations of several of these, but I still want to share the concept art for old versions).

Gremlins: A film they worked on a lot during WWII but couldn't crack the story (or find money to make it)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don Quixote: They tried to adapt the story in various ways in the '40s, '50s, and '00s, which is too long to get into here, but it led to some interesting concept art.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chanticleer: A story about an arrogant rooster who thought his crow made the sun rise, and used this to rule over the other farmyard animals. Reynard the Fox was a villain who tried to take advantage of the discontent in the farm animals to take over as their leader (with plans to eat them), which leads to Chanticleer saving them and learning humility. Work started on it in the 1940s, and it was so close to being made in the 1960s, but they decided to go with The Sword in the Stone instead. Some of the animators loved it, though, and some of the character concepts were later adapted into Robin Hood.

Catfish Bend: I haven't found much about the story beyond "talking animals in the South", but the concept art intrigues me. It would have been released in 1981, but after it was shelved, some of the concepts went on to inspire The Rescuers.

Mistress Masham's Repose: An adaptation of T.H. White's novel, pitched in the late 1980s
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fraidy Cat: 2009 film about a pampered housecat named Oscar who is falsely accused of kidnapping another pet and has to team up with a cockatoo and try to find the real culprit to clear his name. Shelved because they figured kids and general audiences wouldn't understand the Hitchcock references (which seems like a terrible reason, but alas).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
King of the Elves: Announced in 2009, it was a 3D animated film scheduled for 2012, before being shelved in 2016. Adapted from a Philip K. Dick story, it was about an ordinary man who saves some elves from a troll and (apparently reluctantly) gets declared their king.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gigantic: A retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk set during the Spanish exploration, it involves Jack meeting an 11-year-old female giant who treats him like a doll, and eventually fighting much larger Storm Giants. Would have had songs written by the team from Frozen and was set to be released in 2018, then moved to 2020 before being cancelled because apparently they couldn't figure out the story.

I’m having a phase help 😅😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Porsha and Goldie doodles
- Gayblade (Combined Keyblade) inspired dress and suit (no Goldie cannot wield a Keyblade but eh 😂)
- Mermaid Porsha 🥰 Saving a wetsuit-clad Goldie, I imagine if Goldie had a mermaid form it would be like a dolphin or orca, meanwhile Porsha’s is inspired by her ballet outfit and rose bushes
I never got to participate in MerMay before because exams always fall in May (I literally have one tomorrow 😭) but I decided to try draw SOMETHING for MerMay haha
- Aquarella but it’s them instead 🤣

Old drawing of the Steadfast Tin Soldier from the wonderful Soviet cartoon. I forgot to post them, but @daria-sul-2006 reminded me
"If in an old tobacco box, no tobacco stays inside, Then surely something devilish will take its place to bide. And the devilry arises, not from nowhere, just to be, It will find a way to linger where there's only emptiness, you see…" (с) cartoon
