Our hosting at idohost rocked (I’m not kidding;their support is excellent). Sadly, their server settings started to clash with wordpress. I moved the website to this server, with a new url. I adjusted the settings and added a new theme so folks with IE 8 could see it well. We might have some broken links due to the transfer of the database. If we do, PLEASE contact me by commenting on this post!

Just like any other girl, I loved princesses when I was four. Recently, my friends and I were discussing Disney princesses and their characters. I’ve decided to compile our opinions, along with my opinion on Odette in The Swan Princess (She was too much of a character for me to ignore).NOTE: I AM CONSIDERING MAINLY THE ORIGINAL FILMS. Let’s start:
- Snow White (1937): Snow White isn’t the hottest princess around (I can’t believe the queen actually got jealous of HER; beauty is a matter of opinion). Furthermore, I hate the way she runs off with the prince when she hardly knows who she is. And WHY didn’t she listen to the dwarves? It was almost her way of saying “I’m smarter than you”; in the original Snow White the witch actually ate part of the apple to dupe her. That made some sense, but seriously, Snow White forgot her enemy so quickly. Rating: 1/5
- Cinderella (1950): Let me get this straight. Cinderella can stand up for herself when she wants to go to a ball but not when her family works her to pieces? Very smart. Worst of all, she hardly knew the prince for an HOUR and she wants to stay with him for LIFE. I agree it’s an escape from slavery, but it’s a rash choice. In Cinderella 3, she does stand up for herself and become a character. Nevertheless, she just sits there and moans in self-pity while the mice rescue her again and again. Yeah, I think that’s her fatal flaw: self pity. Oh well, it makes her a character with a personality nevertheless (an annoying one I must add). By the way, the animators deliberately try to make Cinderella pretty; BIG MISTAKE, she looks normal and plain. Rating: 2/5.
- Aurora (1959): This princess barely shows up IN HALF OF THE STORY! Absolutely ridiculous. All she does is meet Prince Philip, dream about him, sing in the forest, prick her finger, and then wake up. BIG DEAL! She’s really pretty (prettiest blond Disney princess in my opinion) but she LACKS character development big time. Well, at least she KNEW her prince before she MARRIED him (they were betrothed anyway). Rating: 1.5/5. Continue reading this entry…
