1. Were 당신 expecting to win FOTM for October?
Not really. I mean, I came in 초 place in September so I guess I was expecting to do well in this month's 투표 but I was still surprised that I won and that I got so many votes and comments, I really appreciated them. I am happy that I won although I don't believe that I've done enough to deserve this 제목 and it is a little awkward for me to win since I am running FotM. I'm happy that I won in one of my 가장 좋아하는 months, I was hoping to win sometime between October and February (my 가장 좋아하는 months).
2. What characteristics do 당신 usually admire in 디즈니 Princesses?
I admire 디즈니 Princesses and any female characters who are brave, strong, and fight for what they believe in. I often like outspoken, sassy, and/or somewhat rebellious characters who go out and get things done. I think that my 상단, 맨 위로 6 (Tiana, Snow White, Merida, Anna, Rapunzel, and Mulan) all exhibit most of these characteristics, they take stands and think for themselves without having to rely on others so much to get their happy ending. I just like those girls with a bit of attitude and spunk who are still nice and have a good sense of humor. I also admire elegance and grace but they aren't the most important things to me. I want to see princesses who act like 더 많이 like real, modern girls.
3. What characteristics do 당신 NOT usually admire in 디즈니 Princesses?
I'm not extremely attracted to the princesses who don't speak their mind 또는 do much to improve their situation. It is admirable to be dutiful and obedient but I like it when female characters take chances and make mistakes and aren't afraid to speak up when they don't like something. I also don't like it when female characters don't just get to the point and say what is on their mind. I guess I'm usually not as into the quieter, less proactive princesses.
4. Your..
-Favorite 디즈니 Princess: 뮬란
-Least 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 Princess: 신데렐라
-Favorite 디즈니 Prince: 알라딘
-Least 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 Prince: Charming (zzzzzz...)
-Favorite 디즈니 Movie: Mulan, followed closely 의해 Hunchback of Notre Dame
-Favorite Animated Movie: Probably Mulan. My 가장 좋아하는 non-Disney animated movie is probably Rise of the Guardians, their are several others that I like a lot too though.
-Disney Movie 당신 feel the most nostalgia for: Hmm, I've been trying to figure this out lately and it is probably either Aladdin, Mulan, 또는 Hercules. Strangely enough I feel a lot of nostalgia for The Little Mermiad even though I never saw it growing up, maybe I did but forgot.
5. Outside of 디즈니 Movies, what are some of your 가장 좋아하는 movies?
I like several other animated 영화 but aside from those I tend to like a wide variety of films and it's hard for me to pick favorites. I 사랑 the 별, 스타 Wars series (yes, I'm a nerd lol) and I usually like films set in the past (period pieces) 또는 anything that features great acting, especially from any of my 가장 좋아하는 actors. I'm the type of person who usually likes critically acclaimed, Oscar nominated films and likes well done dramas 더 많이 than special effects extravaganzas 또는 generic comedies and horror films. I do have some guilty pleasures though, like Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and others.
6. Which characteristics from your 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 Princess do 당신 wish 당신 had?
I wish I was as 메리다와 마법의 숲 and selfless as Mulan. I don't think I'd be able to do what she did (taking her father's place in the army, fighting the Huns, defying the law like she did even at the risk of death, etc.). I also wish that I could fight like her 또는 be as good a quick thinker as her. I just wish that I were 더 많이 like
7. Which characteristics from your least 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 Princess are 당신 glad 당신 don't have?
I actually think that 신데렐라 has some admirable traits that I wouldn't mind having but I'm happy that I'm not nearly as submissive as her 또는 Aurora. Even though I try to always be nice, I do like to speak my mind and I would definitely stand up for myself 또는 at least try to fix my situation. If I were Aurora , for example, I wouldn't just mope around after being pretty much forced to marry a stranger, I'd run away 또는 refuse to go 또는 something else. The same with Cinderella, I'd go to the ball whether my dress is all ripped up 또는 not and I'd tell the Prince the truth about my life right from the beginning and not just run away at midnight. I'd stand up to those stepsisters if they ripped up my dress, I'd give them a piece of my mind *snaps* Cindy wouldn't take it anymore lol. I'd probably get kicked out of the house but oh well, actually I'd try to get outside help if I were in Cindy's position. What was the 질문 again? Oh yeah, I'm definitely glad that I'm not that quiet and submissive.
8. Are 당신 planning to contribute to this spot for as long as 당신 are on here, 또는 are 당신 더 많이 interested in other clubs?
Of course, actually I've got a few 기사 drafts that I'm working on right now for this club, I'd actually like to get 더 많이 involved in the club and get to know 더 많이 DP club users.
9. What is your 가장 좋아하는 thing about this club?
The users. They are almost all very nice and make the club feel like a community, a family even. Of course, I also really like the articles, forums, polls, and other things but the best thing is definitely the users themselves :) Some other websites have such rude, annoying users so I'm happy that this club is full of so many fun, friendly people.
10. Which contribution do 당신 ENJOY contributing to the most? (Images, videos, polls, comments, articles, etc.)
Articles. Like I said, I've got a bunch of 기사 that I'm working on and will hopefully be publishing soon and most of my contributions to this club have been articles. Unfortunately, I haven't published one in a while because I've been so busy.
11. According to your profile, 당신 joined 팬팝 in March 2014. How did 당신 discover the site? Did 당신 want to 가입하기 it immediately?
O.k. so this might be a long story. Well, it was March, as 당신 said, and I'm not exactly sure what I was searching for at the time, if was either 기사 about 겨울왕국 또는 디즈니 Princess lists but probably the first option. I came across a 겨울왕국 hate 기사 on this site and I hadn't met anyone in real life who hated that movie so I wanted to see what the writer had to say. Well, it turns out that the 기사 was written 의해 a certain user who is no longer active here but was usually rude. I was really annoyed 의해 the 기사 because she gave very superficial reasons for hating the film, she was so negative, annoying, and rude and the 기사 was badly written so I got mad and decided that I needed to respond to the article. It's o.k. if she didn't like 겨울왕국 but I really didn't like the way she expressed herself so I immediately joined the club just to 코멘트 on the 기사 (hence my dumb username, I wasn't really thinking it through since I had no intention to actually stay on the site at the time). Well, I never did 코멘트 on the 기사 because I checked out the rest of the club, liked what I saw, and started working on my first article, completely forgetting the 겨울왕국 article. Even though I didn't really like that user I do have to admit that I wouldn't have joined 팬팝 when I did if it wasn't for her. I remembered that I had read some DP beauty 기사 on this site months before joining but at the time I hadn't thought of actually joining. It is kind of a weird story, I guess I just thought that the club was cool and decided to stay. Wow, that was a long answer, I warned you.
12. Which 디즈니 Characters do 당신 feel strong, positive opinions towards?
My 상단, 맨 위로 6 디즈니 Princesses, my 상단, 맨 위로 4 Princes (Aladdin, Kristoff, Flynn, Naveen), the Winnie the Pooh characters, Meeko and Percy, Edna Mode (she's fabulous), several of the villains (Queen Grimhilde, Maleficent, Jafar, Hades, Frollo, YZMA, Kronk, Iago), most of the cast of Aladdin, Hercules, Mulan, the Toy Story films, Mike and Sully, Dory, Esmeralda, Megara, Cogsworth, Timon, Pumbaa, and Rafiki, Mickey, Oswald, and most of the main characters like Donald and Goofy, Jane, Professor Porter, Terk and Tantor, Jim Hawkins, Sebastian, ugh I'm sure I've forgotten some characters. I'm sure I'll 사랑 the Big Hero 6 characters. Let's just say that I generally have very positive feelings toward 디즈니 characters.
13. Which 디즈니 Characters do 당신 feel strong, negative opinions towards?
-_- Pretty much the entire casts of Chicken Little, Dinosaur, and 집 on the Range, especially that dumb, fat, loudmouthed main cow. Prince Charming (still snoozing), Gaston, The Prosepctor and that annoying Al guy from Toy Story 2, Buzz Lightyear when he was all high and mighty and thought he wasn't a toy. Sid, Monstro, and I'm sure their are others, I just can't remember them.
14. Is this one of your 가장 좋아하는 clubs? If so, why?
It's actually my 가장 좋아하는 club because it is a 디즈니 club, the users are great, and it is probably the most active club on Fanpop.
15. Who are some of your 가장 좋아하는 users/closest 프렌즈 on the club?
Oh my, well I like almost everyone on this club except for the occasional trolls 또는 rude users who only seem to come on to start drama. Some of my closest 프렌즈 on here are BKG201, fiina, 324anna, and Tygers_Eye, I've probably talked to them 더 많이 than any other people. I've also talked to Silverrose (I think he was the very first person that I ever private messaged on here), Sk8er_grl, Shanyuisboss, and others quite a bit and consider them my 프렌즈 on here. I don't want to forget anyone, I really do like all of the active members on here and have talked to many of them and hope to get to know many others as well.
16. Which 디즈니 Princess do 당신 think 당신 act the most like?
Hmm probably Belle 또는 Tiana although I've also been compared 더 많이 than once to Rapunzel and I do have my Anna moments so I'm probably like a weird mix of those four. I have similarities with all of the princesses but I'd say Belle because I 사랑 to read and don't usually fit in with people in real life, I'm a dreamer like her and Tiana but I'm also considered intelligent and mature like those two and I'm also pretty hardworking like Tiana, sometimes. It's hard to describe myself and compare myself to a princess. According to Fanpop, I act most like Rapunzel.
17. Which 디즈니 Princess do 당신 think 당신 act the least like?
I guess Ariel. I'm adventurous but definitely not at her level. She can be downright reckless and I'm definitely not reckless. I don't think that she thinks through things that much, which is different from me as well and she is kind of irresponsible with her concerts and I always try to be responsible when I'm working on a performance 또는 have assignments to do. Oh, I'm also not very much like Aurora, like I said earlier I speak up when I don't like something and I take action, unlike her. I also don't spend very much time in the forest with woodland 동물 lol. I'm also not as graceful as her and I'm a pretty bad dancer.
18. If 당신 could rate all of the 디즈니 Princess 영화 from a percentage of 0% to 100%, what would 당신 rate them all?
Hmm, this is an interesting but tough question. I'll try to be as accurate as possible.
>Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: 80%
>Cinderella: 55%
>Sleeping Beauty:72%
>The Little Mermaid: 82%
>Beauty and the Beast: 88%
>Aladdin: 95%
>Pocahontas: 70%
>Mulan: 98%
>The Princess and the Frog: 84%
>Tangled: 91%
>Brave: 70%
>Frozen: 89%
또는 something like that lol. I kind of just put the first percentage that came to mind for each one, I'm not even sure if they properly match up to my list. I guess these are pretty accurate though.
19. What are some of your interests outside of 디즈니 Movies?
I 사랑 to sing and act (I'm actually currently in a musical, Godspell) and I also 사랑 to read, listen to music, and watch different types of movies. I'm a bit of a film geek in some ways and I like many genres of music, I'm currently really into classical music. I'm into 별, 스타 Wars, Marvel comics, history, different cultures, countries, and languages, and Once Upon a Time so I'm definitely nerdy lol. I'm interested in a lot of things though.
20. What do 당신 think, is something 디즈니 should do in the future for their movies?
I think that 디즈니 should focus on making 더 많이 films that are aimed 더 많이 at adults and teenagers like HoND. I'd like to see 더 많이 dark 또는 serious subjects in 디즈니 films and 더 많이 cultural/ethnic diversity as well. I think that they should stop using the same formula that they usually use for their 디즈니 Princess films and instead allow their writers to have 더 많이 freedom and be 더 많이 inventive. I'd like them to also make a wider variety of films. Studio Ghibli and 픽사 tend to be a bit 더 많이 inventive with their stories so I'd like to see films that are different from Disney. It would also be nice if they didn't try to make everything enjoyable only for younger kids 또는 funny all the time instead of making films that are enjoyable for all age groups, not that they aren't doing that now. Why don't they just make me the head of Disney's film department? lol.
21. What is a "mistake" that 당신 think 디즈니 made in the past with one of their movies, that 당신 hope doesn't happen again?
With Chicken Little, 집 on the Range, and some other films I think 디즈니 focused too much on young children instead of making the films with the whole family in mind. They also have had periods when their 애니메이션 has been weak so I hope that they can continue to have good animation. One big mistake was completely getting rid of hand drawn animation, they should definitely bring it back, I don't mind CGI but I'd like to see some traditional 애니메이션 as well. Oh, and they seemed to have rushed 겨울왕국 a lot because of all of the 애니메이션 mistakes and plot holes and even though it didn't really affect the film's success, I'm sure that the film could've been much better if it hadn't been rushed so I hope that they won't do that again.
Oh, and I hope that they will always focus on making the best films possible and keeping the 디즈니 magic alive :)
22. Are 당신 most active in this club, 또는 are 당신 더 많이 active in others?
I'm only really active on this club. I rarely check other clubs because they aren't very active unfortunately. I did start a club, the Physical Beauty club *cough*join if 당신 haven't already*wink* but it's just starting out so it isn't very active yet. I used to check other clubs but then I realized that they were pretty dead. It's a shame that the 디즈니 club is so dead.
23. Why is your 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 Princess your favorite?
Oh, well, I'll try to make this answer short. 뮬란 is brave, smart, selfless, and funny (I actually think that she is the funniest princess) and while she is mature she is still sort of clumsy and awkward even at the end of the film, these are all traits that I really like in characters. She stands up for what she believes in, wants to bring her family honor and save her father, and is a great example of hard work and self improvement in animated films. She does transform but she doesn't change completely, she's just a better fighter and 더 많이 confident and experienced 의해 the end of the film. She has almost always been my 가장 좋아하는 and I've always loved her movie, I guess that nostalgia also plays a part in why she's my favorite.
24. Why is your 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 Prince your favorite?
I 사랑 that 알라딘 is charming, adventurous, and kind but he's not perfect. Actually, he's quite a flawed character. He's a liar, a thief, and a trickster yet I've always found him very likable and relatable. He dreams of one 일 having a better life and when he sees the chance he takes it, I like that. Nostalgia also plays a big part in why I 사랑 him. I think that he is just such a great, multi layered character, he is dreamer and a fighter, both are things that I like to see in characters. He is resourceful, a quick thinker, friendly, and funny, what's not to like? O.k. I know that he should have just told 재스민 속, 재 스민 the truth but I also understand why he didn't, he was scared that she'd shun him and he also knew that it wouldn't have been possible for him, a streetrat, to legally marry the princess.
25. Why is your least 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 Princess your least favorite?
I just don't relate much to Cinderella. She is nice and all but not very exciting. My 가장 좋아하는 scenes with her are the ones where she is complaining and when she is about to hit Lucifer, why? Because she acts like a real person then and se shows some sass. Unfortunately, she's 사무용 겉옷, 전반적인 not very interesting to me 또는 realistic compared to the other princesses. She just seems a bit too perfect and proper for me.
26. Why is your least 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 Prince your least favorite?
I'll just use a 코멘트 that I made on a 투표 not too long ago. He's BORING. I'm getting sleepy just thinking about him and, oh too late, ...zzzzzzz. *Drowsily wakes up* Huh, what happened? Oh yeah, Charming is boring as tar and he barely appears in the film which is also a downside but Snow White's creeper of a prince appears for less time, barely speaks, and could have very well been an ax murderer searching for his 다음 victim but I still like him infinitely 더 많이 than Prince Boring (because I'm not sure where Charming came from because he certainly doesn't seem THAT charming). He's much better in the sequels but apparently we never count the sequels here, which is a shame because then maybe Cindy and Charming wouldn't be my least favorites.
27. Have 당신 ever questioned your love/lost interest for the 디즈니 Princesses, 또는 디즈니 in general?
I 로스트 interest in 디즈니 a little bit during the 집 on the Range-Chicken Little-Meet the Robinsons-Bolt period, pretty much when they were starting to use CGI only. My interest returned with Tangled. I still loved the renaissance films during that time and other 디즈니 films but I hadn't been following the new releases very closely. I had kind of 로스트 my faith in Disney's future, shame on me.
28. Do 당신 change your opinions on the 디즈니 Princesses often, 또는 do they usually stay the same?
My lists usually change a bit over time but I rarely ever make huge changes to them. My 상단, 맨 위로 3 and my bottom 2 have stayed the same, albeit in a different order, since 겨울왕국 was released. My general opinions on DPs don't usually change much. Sometimes I slightly change my opinions after rewatching a movie 또는 good arguments for 또는 against a character but nor always.
29. If 당신 could choose one 디즈니 Princess, one 디즈니 Prince, one 디즈니 Villain, and one 디즈니 Heroine to be 프렌즈 with, who would they be?
Ooh this is so hard. The 디즈니 princess would be Anna 또는 Rapunzel. The prince would be 알라딘 probably. The heroine...Esmeralda, Megara, 또는 Jane? Esmeralda, Megara, 또는 Jane? Hmm, I guess Esmeralda. The villain would be...ugh this is so hard. Either Hades, Yzma, Maleficent, 또는 the Evil Queen, hmm Hades is funny but kind of creepy, then again so is Yzma lol. I'll go with Maleficent, Grimhilde might be too vain to have as a friend.
30. Is there anything 당신 would like to say to all the people of this club?
That 당신 are all wonderful! Thank 당신 for nominating me and voting for me. I hope to continue being a part of this community and contributing as much as possible. Let's all work together to make this club as fun and interesting as possible, let's keep it alive 의해 contributing a lot and just being around. Let's be as supportive and civil as possible. Hopefully we can all continue to 사랑 디즈니 through the years even after our 팬팝 days and that the bonds we create in this club can continue for years to come as well. I'm so glad that I joined this community and met all of you, I've had a great time so far and hope to continue enjoying my time here. offcourse < that one's for 당신 Avatar_tla_fan ;)
*wipes sweat from brow* Well, that's it. I have answered the 30 questions!*does victory dance*. Thank you, Avatar_tla_fan for coming up with so many great questions. Sorry that my 답변 are long, this is probably a very long article, but hey, you're only FotM once :) Have a wonderful 일 everyone, God bless, and remember peace and love, Diazdiaz95 is out, PEACE. :)
