@catwing I don’t know if Snow White was love at first sight, like at first sight, or flirtation at first sight. It could have been any of the above. 😛 But they did like each other very much, and she sent a dove to give him a kiss, so I don’t think it too weird that he kissed her to wake her up later.

@seekjustice I count “first sight” as first conversation or so. You can tell millions about a person’s personality from the way they dress, stand, and walk, and you can tell some about their beliefs and morals from the location you find them.

@seekjustice I dislike Disney because most of their films revolve around magic, showing magic on the “good side” and getting kids to believe there is such a thing as good magic. For that reason, Snow White is my favorite Disney princess film, because it shows magic as completely evil, and none on the good side.
As for Mulan, I usually run,…[Read more]

@alia I think people nowadays (including myself) are too worried about finding the “perfect” match to ever be willing to chance love at first sight. I think it used to happen a lot more than it does now, because people were willing to take risks and know they could love each other in spite of faults, rather than needing someone without faults…[Read more]

@seekjustice Copy @alia‘s answer, and add that Cinderella’s figure and face indicate that she is at least eighteen years old, a legal adult, and while that may not be moral grounds for disobedience, it is legal. Then, you also have the fact that Lady Tremain never adopted Cinderella (probably not legally, and certainly not into her heart,) and…[Read more]

@seekjustice Warning: Rant ahead. 😛
I get so annoyed when people put up those memes like the ones about Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, like “finds dead body in the woods; Kisses it.” I mean, it’s like those people forgot the whole plot of the movie! Both of those princes had already met and fallen in love with the girls, and the girls as w…[Read more]

@alia So exciting! 😀 😀 😀 I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, Where are you seeing it?
@catwing Goats?! You got goats?!!! Those absolutely wonderful, amazingly adorable, and perfectly terrific creatures? They’re my favorite animals! We had pygmies for a long time and their babies were the cutest, most adorable things ever!! (whoops! I used “adora…[Read more]

@seekjustice Not by a long shot!!!! 😛 I was just using that as an example. Actually the most noticeable inaccuracy is that the real newsboys’ average age was probably around ten or twelve, so the sixteen- to twenty-year-old guys seem quite strange.

@seekjustice Was that during a performance, or was that when she was alone with her friends? Because if it was the former, I completely agree, but if the latter, I don’t care a bit. 😛

@valtmy Haha! 😛 Don’t worry, I don’t think I will. But yeah, that’s me. I get so horribly annoyed if the actors say a slang word that wasn’t invented yet, (talking about Newsies, @seekjustice ) if the skirts are two inches too short or too long, (can’t always tell, except for a few specific periods) or especially if the characters act like m…[Read more]

@seekjustive Oh, I don’t know. I thought of a couple when writing that, but my brain is mixed up now and I can only remember one:
Rose Marie (1936) Is a musical about an opera singer who goes to the wilds of Canada in search of her brother. A huge climax near the end of the film involves her having a mental breakdown during an opera p…[Read more]

@seekjustice I prefer musical theater to opera (usually) as well, but I also am a stickler for accuracy. The entire story revolves around the fact that Christine has a beautiful, classically trained operatic voice, and that she sings in the opera. Therefore the fact that they cast women with obviously Broadway style voices to sing songs that b…[Read more]

@catwing Haha. As someone who allows mainly the parents to die, but saves the children alive, wouldn’t that make you similar to Disney? 😛
@seekjustice Don’t they put on what’s supposed to be an operatic production? The costumes certainly nod to opera costumery.
Not killing parents does not make the deaths less, it only makes them different. 😉

@seekjustice No, I definitely wouldn’t want to read it. I have no idea what the original characters were like. I just know Phoebus was really nice in the ’23 version, and that in both versions Esmerelda was an adult.
Maybe you would enjoy the “cleaned up and adjusted” versions better. 😛
Well, I don’t like the Phantom anyway, so no argument t…[Read more]

Lesson to all book characters: Never try to learn more than is good for you, and if you do, and someone threatens to eliminate you, go to the police, then get your CC permit. 😛
