I still love watching it. But yeah, the annoyance over Hans' betrayal that made no sense makes him a piss poor villain in my mind. And I watched it again, and again. Was it between him handing out bedding and blankets, or making soup for the people? Or possibly between telling the soldiers not to kill Elsa, only to capture with a stern tone? And stopping them from shooting her?

I liked Brave if only because I can clearly see that, if Walt made movies for his daughters, Brave is a movie that Lillian might have made for her daughters.

I agree. L I still love Brave.

"Sorry mom, I roofied you with a potion that MIGHT have killed you for all I knew... but it's your fault for being a less than perfect authority figure by my definition of perfect." 🙂

I love that Brave is actually about mothers & daughters

Can I admit that I didn't like Tangled? I mean, I didn't hate it, I just found it completely forgettable.

Fed, shot, scooped, OMW

Yes, Zara.

For me, it's very much a time frame thing. Okay!

and I think BOTH of them learn

Sure, Rae. I liked it, but others I know thought it went too hard for the laughs

For Brave, you WOULD have believed the odd witch in the woods, that it would get your mom on your side.

Everyone on the internet seems to have a huge hard-on for that movie and I just don't get it

Maybe I need to watch it again

Working on a post for the last set of flags, btw

Because Merida does realize that, hey, she does have responsibilities and that there's a point to all Elinor is teaching her - see her first foray in diplomacy!

Because the music is wonderful and... well. Her reactions are priceless, and likely the first time it's been realistic teenager reactions.

Also Flynn is hot.

And merida did not mean to turn her mother into a Bear. She wanted to not be forced into teen marriage

The 'bipoiar teen ' reactions when she gets out are hilarious (regarding Tangled)

agreed.

I do think too many people forget how young eighteen is.

Rapunzel is great

And I'm heading out!

Later Fang

oh god no. My kids are such kids

Remember when we thought 18 as just fine in terms of maturity?

Oh sure, teenage years you know everything... mid twenties I was like "oh god...my dad may have been right about somethings..crapcrapcrap" and by my forties its "Mom, Dad, thanks for letting me live."

Right? SO TRUE.

yeeeeup

So I am sure 20 years of experience influences how Z is played

That said, I still am not a fan of Merida. Perhaps its just me in this crowd

I was predisposed to liking it, I'll admit. Love Billy Conolley.

Merida is kind of a jerk, but... teenager. Self-centered, impulsive, trying to be "grown up."

Ok, so Z is kind of a little bit of Merida and a little bit of Rapunzel. Or a lot of each.

AFK just a mo.

And a touch of Belle.

(That book love)

Yup!

She's not quite so self-confident as Belle.

Now see, I loved the Original Sleeping Beauty... the animation was amazing, the Villainess TOPS.... but I admit poor Aurora got maybe what? 15 minutes of talk? Prince Phillip was pretty bad ass but did have Fairy godmothers as a crutch (The blue one is my fave)

it also suffered from the 'hey, I just met you, and this is crazy...but Frozen's decades later... so true love maybe?'' but it is an OLD movie

Sleeping Beauty is pretty, but.. yeah. Aurora sucks.

Cindy has way more personality

She sasses!

Well, we don't know if Aurora sucks because we don't get to know her. But yes, Cinderella had more #### in charge. That girl was the boggan who catches the sidhe guy's eye 🙂

Ha!

Yes!

Now while I guess it would be more likely she'd be one of those oba Eshu... hard to top Jasmine for sass and fire. Poor Aladdin was scrambling to keep up.

So she'd be a fine Sidhe rolemodel.
