Disney Challenge

Current Mood:

I found these questions on Facebook recently, and then on another site.

I think I’m gonna have to cheat a bit though, because how could I possibly narrow each answer down to just one favorite?

Not possible.



Your favorite character

The Beast (sexy with a capital S)…. Belle (fellow bookworm feeling out of place and different from everyone around her)…. Ariel (because we all need an escape from the confines of our own little world and should be so adventurous)… Jasmine (independent thinker way ahead of her time).

I think I’ll stop there, else I’ll add practically every Disney character ever created.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite princess

Belle, although technically she wasn’t a princess until she married that sexy beast.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite heroine

I will try narrowing it down to one here, so I’ll just say Belle.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite prince

The Beast of course, followed by a tie between Aladdin and Eric.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite hero

The Beast again.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite animal

NANA from Peter Pan. I love Nana!!! (She also reminds me of a dog we used to have named “Bambi.”) I love her so much that I even have a Nana doll that I found at an antique store a long time ago, and this past Christmas I was given a Nana figurine. It's so hard finding Nana related memorabilia.

I also really like "Bruno” and the little birds from Cinderella.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite sidekick

Jiminy Cricket… Jaq and Gus… Scuttle… Zazu . (And I really thought I was going to hate Zazu since I‘m not a fan of the actor that does his voice. But honestly, Zazu had some funny lines: “I‘m so ticked off that I‘m molting!” Lol!)

The Genie from Aladdin was the same thing as Zazu for me. I thought Robin William’s voice would be distracting, but I was so surprised at how perfectly he fit into that role.

And even though she really isn‘t a sidekick, I love “Big Mama” from The Fox and the Hound. The same also goes for Flora, Fauna & Merryweather in Sleeping Beauty.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite villain

I think I’ll narrow it down to Scar. He was one EVIL villain, and I have a fascination with lions anyway.

Oops.. I have to add Ursula as well. Actually, I think she’s my favorite. I love her voice and all that sass mixed in with her evil ways. She’s definitely different from other Disney villains.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite original character (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, etc.)

Honestly, I love them all pretty equally but I’ve always been a fan of Donald Duck’s temper.

Chip and Dale are cute, too.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite song

I have several from the cartoons, but my favorite Disney movie song is “Candle on the Water” from Pete’s Dragon.

Now, I also love a few of the songs from a lesser known Disney flick….Robin Hood. Those songs would be “Whistle Stop” and “Oo De Lally.”

Ooh, and “Stay Awake” from Mary Poppins. That was just one of the Disney songs I used to sing to my niece when she was a newborn.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite love song

I like a few, but I think I’ll have to go with “Something There” and “Kiss the Girl.”

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite villain song

Off the top of my head, “Be Prepared” from The Lion King.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your least favorite song

Whatever the so-called villain sang in Pocahontas.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite kiss

Belle and her prince, of course.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

The first movie you saw

I can’t recall my first Disney flick, but I do remember being a kid and loving “A Spaceman in King Arthur’s Court.” (Today, it’s renamed “The Unidentified Flying Oddball” and is finally on dvd).

I also recall enjoying “The Cat from Outer Space” as a kid.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite classic

"Cinderella" for a cartoon.

"Summer Magic," "Thomasina," and "Pollyanna" for a movie.

Also MICKEY’S CHRISTMAS CAROL!!!!!!!! Goodness, how I love love LOVE that movie! I even adore the song they play in the beginning.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your least favorite classic

Dumbo (too sad in parts), or Pinocchio (although I do love Geppetto and Jiminy Cricket).

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite Pixar film

Wall-E!!!! OMG, how I love him!!!!

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your least favorite Pixar film

Of the Pixar films I’ve seen, I guess I’d have to say “Up.” It was just too sad.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Favorite sequel

I tend to stay away from the sequels, but when my niece was little she had me watch the sequel to The Little Mermaid. As sequels go, it wasn’t too bad.

Return to Neverland was okay, but I didn’t love it.

Out of sheer boredom, I watched some Cinderella sequel on YouTube one night. It also was okay, but forgettable.

Oh, wait! I think Beauty and the Beast’s “Enchanted Christmas” was pretty good. It had it’s flaws, but as sequels go I loved it. I watch it every Christmastime.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

An overrated movie

I can think of a couple, but I guess “The Princess and the Frog.” This movie started out fantastic, and I loved the artwork, but then the songs kept coming and coming and coming. Eventually, I fast forwarded through most of it because I was so annoyed.

I think I have to go with “Alice in Wonderland” here, too. I WANT to love this movie, but it always bores me. I also find it distracting hearing Wendy Darling’s voice on a blonde that falls down rabbit holes.

Oh! And all those stupid new Tinkerbell cartoons. TINKERBELL IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE A VOICE!!!! Her “voice” is supposed to be the TINKLING OF BELLS… hence her name, TINKER… BELL!

Sorry, but Gaaaah!!!!! Disney was so stupid for wrecking such a classic character. Next thing we know, Tink will probably become some disgraceful tomboy that raps and does beat box.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

An underrated movie

Hmm… maybe Pocahontas? I only own the movie on vhs, which means I never watch it, and while I thought the villain and artwork was weak it really is a nice little movie. Some of those songs on there really stuck with me, too.

I also must include Pete’s Dragon, The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, The Jungle Book, Toby Tyler, and That Darn Cat.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

A movie that makes you laugh

I can’t really think of a LOL Disney movie just now, but off the top of my head I guess “A Spaceman in King Arthur’s Court.”

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

A movie that makes you cry

Parts of “The Fox and the Hound” and “Dumbo.” Also “Lady and the Tramp.”

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite scene from your favorite movie

Not my favorite movie, but the Substitutiary Locomotion Battle in “Bedknobs and Broomsticks.”

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Saddest death

Tie between Mufasa and Bambi’s mother.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite quote

I’ll stick to quotes from Walt Disney himself:

- “There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island.”

- “We allow no geniuses around our Studio.”

- “I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.”

- “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”

- “A man should never neglect his family for business.”

- “Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.”

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite theme park

The Magic Kingdom will always be #1.

My second favorite is Hollywood Studios, which I still call MGM out of habit and because it just feels right.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite theme attraction

I have to say that The “Peter Pan” ride is wonderful because it feels so much like the movie… classic, ya know?…. but my absolute favorites would have to be “The Haunted Mansion” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

“Star Tours” is awesome as well. I’m curious to see the updated ride once it’s finished, although I’m not exactly thrilled about it being 3D.

But narrowing it down… “The Haunted Mansion,” hands down. I definitely ride that attraction the most while at Disney World; 8 or 10 times usually.

*~*~*~ ♥ ~*~*~*

Your favorite theme park show

I don’t really care for the shows, but the "Villain’s Mix and Mingle” from MNSSHP is okay.

Well, that's it Mousketeers. See ya real soon!
