It's day sixteen of the 30 Day Disney Challenge! Today's theme is favorite singing voice. Don't forget to check out Deanna's blog for even more picks! :)
Favorite Singing Voice:
My favorite singing voice is Jodi Benson, who does the voice of Ariel. She is just a fantastic singer, and does not only the songs but the dialogue perfectly. First Runner-Up:
My second favorite is Mandy Moore, who voices Rapunzel. She, too, does a gorgeous job with the singing and dialogue. I think her voice has a nice, sweet ring to it. Least Favorite:
My least favorite voice is probably Adrianna Caselotti, who voices Snow White. She just sings too high for my taste. Be sure to be back tomorrow, for best eyes! :) Your Thoughts?: Which Disney princess do you think has the best singing voice? What about prince? Thanks for reading! :)
Before I get into today's post, I just want to share one exciting piece of news...Young Yankee Lady is up to 10 followers! Yay! Thanks so much guys for taking the time to read my blog...it really does mean a lot to me!
Strange as it sounds, I think that Roger singing 'Cruella De Vil' is actually quite romantic, in a cute sort of way. Particularly the last part, after Cruella leaves and he's sort of teasing Anita. So sweet. :) First Runner-Up:
I love the kingdom dance from Tangled. It's also romantic, in very cute and sweet sort of way. Like when Eugene is looking at Rapunzel, and Maximus makes a face at him. Or when they're trying to dance together, and then finally end up together at the end. Least Favorite: My least favorite romantic moment is the same as my least favorite kiss...the one between Prince Philip and Aurora. It just seems very cold to me. That's it for now! Check back in tomorrow for favorite singing voice. :) Your Thoughts: What's your favorite romantic Disney moment? What do you think of the couples Roger and Anita, and Eugene and Rapunzel?
Hello everyone!! Well, you've probably noticed that the 30 Day Disney Challenge posts have been scarce the past couple of days. I had my skating show on Saturday (videos coming soon!), which resulted in me skating almost every day last week, plus school, and 4-H stuff, so I was just too burnt out to go through all the photo-finding and linking. :) So, I thought it may be easier to do one post today to catch up, rather than publish multiple posts. :) Please, don't shy away from leaving links and comments! Deanna and I love to hear from you.
Day Eleven: Favorite Animal Sidekick:
The best animal sidekick is definitely Sebastian from The Little Mermaid. Unlike many of the other animal sidekicks that are there for more of a comic/cute factor, Sebastian genuinely moves the plot along. He has his own struggles about whether or not to help Ariel, rather than just blatantly following her. My first runner up would probably be Mushu, from Mulan. I just think he's hilarious. And my least favorite is probably the raccoon from Pocahontis, whose name I can't remember. Primarily for the fact that I cannot remember his name, so he must not have been that interesting. :P Day Twelve: Favorite Non-Animal Sidekick:
My favorite non-animal sidekick has got to be Lefou from Beauty and the Beast. Of course he's technically a bad guy, as he's Gaston's sidekick, but I still think he's hilarious. Especially when he sings in the bar. :) My first runner-up is is Yao from Mulan. He's the little short guy with the black eye. I honestly don't know who to pick for least-favorite. Any suggestions?
Day Thirteen: Favorite Outfit:
My favorite outfit is the blue dress Ariel wears in the Kiss the Girl scene. I've always loved this dress...from the corset top to the flowy skirt, not to mention the giant hair bow! My second favorite would probably be the one Aurora in Sleeping Beauty wears, when she is still Briar Rose. My least favorite is Snow White's blue and yellow dress....it's too juvenile, and the colors really don't match.
Day Fourteen: Favorite Villain:
I absolutely love Cruella Deville from 101 Dalmatians. She is entirely evil, and crazy, yet still has a forced glamour about her. She scares me, and that makes her a good villain. My first runner-up is Ursuala from The Little Mermaid. My least favorite is probably...the evil stepmother in Cinderella. I just fail to see her motive.
Phew! All caught up! :) I'll try to be good, but things are still pretty busy so these 'collection' posts may become more frequent!
Before I leave, I just wanted to let everyone know that American Duchess is hosting a giveaway for their gorgeous Highbury Regency Shoes! Although I have never bought any of their shoes so can't recommend them on a personal level, I know they do strive to provide historically accurate, comfortable shoes at good prices. These regency shoes are pretty cool, as they are dyeable and have loops for you to add lace-up ribbons! So head over there and enter the giveaway. :)
Your Thoughts?: What are your favorite sidekicks, villains, and outfits? What do you think of my picks? Any interest in seeing videos of my routine?
Thanks for reading! Check back in later for favorite romantic moment. :)
Back again with the 30 Day Disney Challenge! Today's theme is best hair. I decided to avoid the obvious and skip Rapunzel, even though I lover her thick braid with all the flowers. :) As always, don't forget to check in with Deanna for her picks!
Best Hair:
I think we've already established that I love almost everything about The Little Mermaid. The color of her hair is amazing, plus it's thick and a lovely length. First Runner-Up:
Meg has the ultimate curly ponytail! It's so long, and thick, and held back perfect. She also has this floppy bang that looks gorgeous, and her cute little curls on the side of her face. Least Favorite:
Just like with prettiest princess, choosing least favorite hair is basically impossible. After all they're animated and therefore always look perfect! I decided to go with Jasmine because I've never really wanted my own hair to be black, and I usually prefer more curl/wave than just a straight cut. Thanks for joining us! Don't forget to link/comment, and be back tomorrow for favorite animal side-kick! Your Thoughts?: Which princess do you think has the best hair? How about prince? Thanks for reading! :)
Sorry for missing yesterday's post! I was busy with school all day, then I went skating, and by the time I got home I was tired. Yesterday's theme in the 30 Day Disney Challenge was favorite couple! Don't forget to check out Deanna's blog for her picks, too. And keep those links/comments coming! :)
Favorite Couple:
My absolute favorite Disney couple is Roger and Anita from 101 Dalmatians. There the only Disney couple where you see more of their married life than their single life. Roger is is smart, sweet, and a tad nerdy. Anita is caring, kind, and ready to play along with all of Roger's pranks. First Runner-Up:
I really love Rapunzel's and Eugene's relationship! It comes across very gradually, so it's probably one of the most realistic. Their love for each other is based on personality and character, and to them, looks is just a bonus. Plus, their love is sacrificial, evidence by Eugene giving up his chance for survival to save Rapunzel. Least Favorite:
I really don't like Cinderella and Prince Charming! They have hardly any dialogue, so they don't even know each other!! Plus, Cinderella's in love with him before they even meet, just because he's 'the prince' and every other girl in the kingdom is in love with him, too. Be sure to check back in later today, for best hair! :) Your Thoughts?: Which Disney couple is your favorite? Least favorite? What do you think of my picks? Thanks for reading! :)
We're starting week two of the 30 Day Disney Challenge! I loved hearing from you guys, so make sure to keep comments/links coming! Be sure to check out Deanna's blog for more fun picks.
Today's theme is saddest moment. Now, I had a lot of trouble deciding on this one! There are so many Disney moments that really make you want to cry. I suppose that's one of the reason we love Disney; even though they're 'kid' movies, they still are deep enough to make us feel something. And yes, I cheated a little. I ended up choosing two moments for both my favorite and first runner-up.
So without further ado, Disney's saddest moments...
Saddest Moment:
I think that the song 'Best of Friends' from The Fox and the Hound is one of Disney's saddest moments. The entire movie's sad, actually, but wonderful. This song speaks of growing up and suddenly, things getting more complicated than they used to be. And who could forget Big Momma's line, 'Forever's a long time, and it has a way of changing things'?
My other pick for saddest moment is the Furnace Scene from Toy Story 3. I was crying in the theaters the entire time. As friends, they hold hands to meet their inevitable fate of falling into the fire. The part that gets me is the way Buzz looks at Jessie.
First Runner-Up:
Disney did a great job with the love story in the first eight minutes of Up. It's so genuine, and sweet, and heart wrenching. If you haven't seen it, please watch this. It's worth the time. The rest of the movie is just as good, too, and I'd highly recommend it.
I love this song. How can it not make you cry, though? Poor Jessie.
Least Favorite:
So, how does one choose a least-favorite sad moment? Well, I went with the scene from Cinderella when the stepsisters spoil her dress. It was a terrible thing to do, of course, but I still don't really feel sorry for her. And I certainly don't want to cry.
Well, I suppose I should dry my eyes and go do something productive...be back tomorrow for favorite couple! It won't be a tear jerker, I promise. :)
Your Thoughts?: Did I totally cheat by choosing more than one for each category? What Disney moment always gets you to cry? What do you think of my picks?
It's already been an entire week of the 30 Day Disney Challenge! Anyone else having a lot of fun with this? :) Don't forget to keep those links/comments coming! We'd love to hear from you. :)
Today's theme is favorite castle...I just thought that was a really good category idea. As always, don't forget to check out Deanna's blog, as well.
Favorite Castle:
I LOVE the castle from Snow White. Instead of tall and towering, it's a little more humble and has lots of nooks and crannies. Plus, it has blossoming cherry trees and is set very close to the woods! Sounds great to me. :) First Runner-Up:
I'm not sure if it counts as a castle, but I just love Rapunzel's tower! First of all, it's gorgeous set in it's own 'secret' spot in the woods, with the waterfall behind it. And she has the inside decorated very cute and girly. :) Least Favorite:
My least favorite castle is Jasmine's. I've just never much cared for the shape, or the colors. That's it for now!! Be sure to check back in tomorrow for saddest Disney moment. Happy Sunday! Your Thoughts?: Which Disney castle is your favorite? Thanks for reading! :)
