@rochellaine Aw, you too? Sleep well. 🙂

@catwing G’night. Yay! finishing editing is always a relief. 😉

I like your new profile pic by the way. 🙂

@Rochellaine Also the dwarves brought him to the coffin right?

@seekjustice I can make more points tomorrow.

@jenwriter17 @valtmy @alia I am going to sleep. Good night. I finished this edit stage! *throws feathers* Rewriting tomorrow. ^.^

@rochellaine

True! You make a good case for love at first sight.

@seekjustice @catwing @rochellaine @valtmy Anyone still on?

@rochellaine

I don’t see Mulan as a female empowerment film, though certainly people like to claim it as such, rather I see it as a story about love that is so strong you would sacrifice your life for it. In the film, she goes to war for her father, in the original story/history its for her little brother, and I know, or at least would like to…[Read more]

@alia How could I forget Snow White? But I can’t remember her encounter with the prince…

@Alia I got as far as him taking them flying and them being terribly hungry and he would wander off literally forgetting they existed. It was ruining the movie for me.
I guess the movie version is still a bit strange.

@rochellaine

I messed up your tag in my above message!

@alia Me too, I’ve tried explaining that before. I think two examples of Disney characters who actually do have it would be Quasimodo and Rapunzel, but definitely not Belle.

And again, me too! I have only a general idea of Ancient China, but I still know its pretty…[Read more]

As I recall…
Not love at first sight ~ Belle(Beauty and the Beast [old and new]), Rapunzel, Jasmine? (Aladdin. But he may have loved her at first sight I think), Anna (Frozen), Giselle (Enchanted),
Love at first sight ~ Cinderella, Ariel (Little Mermaid),
I don’t remember… Aurora (Sleeping Beauty),
There’s probably a few missing… Who am I missing…

@catwing

I’m not a Peter Pan fan by any means, but yes, I always thought stories about The Green Knight and the Swan Knight were very cool!

I know. it probably comes from a lack of wholesome Disney films.

@rochellaie

Well, I’m not against Disney, I believe half the claims against them are just a bit weak and exaggerated. I do know that I’ve never liked them, but I also know that I was homeschooled and thus grew up away from the pressure of what other girls liked and at a very young age I knew what I liked and I was rather rebellious (Against soc…[Read more]

@seekjustice *grins* Of course. (But isn’t that a chore? ;P)
I only read part of Peter Pan recently and I read fairy books when I was younger… I got distracted and had to return Peter Pan. I didn’t really care for it. (So the large fay huh?)
You do kill off quite a few characters…

@catwing

So there’s a positive thing regarding Cinderella! (Whereas, I probably wanted to cut off someone’s head if I had to do a chore I didn’t like. 😛 )

Ah, I’ve never liked Tinkerbell, simply because I was an Enlightened Child who’d read Peter Pan and knew exactly what a….horrible person Tinker bell was. And, as already stated, I scorned…[Read more]

@alia

I admit to being the tomboy who scorned Disney movies and read about real princesses and queens when I was little (and still do, to be honest!). And yes, I definitely agree that ALL movies, at least that I’ve seen, promote unrealistic body images and I don’t think Disney is better or worse in that regard.

Okay, its been a long time since…[Read more]

@Seekjustice I think I have seen all of them, except Mulan and Moana. I suppose there is good and bad in them. I don’t think they have negatively affected me… Tinker Bell on the other hand. If you don’t believe in fairies, your fairy dies. To cure a fairy, say I believe in fairies a few times. When I wasn’t sure if fairies existed or not I…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I do find it very difficult to believe in true love at first sight  though. 😛 I can’t even keep up a conversation of small talk with someone I’ve only met once 😀

I do have a serious question for you: How is Cinderella purposefully disobeying her stepmother’s explicit order that she is not to go the ball different to Rapunzel…[Read more]

@valtmy

The opinions are quite divided 😀

@rochellaine They are adorable. 😉 (Hope you hand is better soon)
Currently they are 7 & 9 months (You may think of what I thought when I was thinking about that. XP), a doeling and a wether.
They’re fun. One was rubbing her head against my hand. If I can teach her to do it on cue… Fist/face bump! 😛
But they are not a horse… ;P
I am immune…[Read more]

@alia

They just say thing like princesses hold up beauty as the absolute virtue of a woman, promote that you can only be happy if a man loves you, reinforce gender stereotypes and unrealistic body images. etcetera, etcetera.

I was just curious because I didn’t grow up watching Disney movies, so I can’t really have an opinion on whether they’re…[Read more]
