[@nightflyer3242]

it’s amazing how history repeats itself. Disney actually abandoned the Princess formula again in the 90’s (even though Jasmine, Pocahontas and Mulan are part of the Princess Franchise, the last true Princess film using the classic formula was Beauty and the Beast), because many people saw the genre as outdated and criticisms of the Disney Princess began to mount. When Bob Iger took over Disney in 2005, his new animation team decided they will revive the formula again with Princess and the Frog and Rapunzel. When PatF did not perform to expectations, Disney refocused their marketing on Rapunzel by changing the name to Tangled and focused more on Flynn Rider in order to break the Princess stigma. While Tangled was a success, many major media outlets and people within Disney thought it was the last of the Princesses for good. There was one project though that was going through development hell at the time, a story even Walt Disney himself couldn’t crack, called the Snow Queen. There were huge debates within Disney on whether or not to make the Snow Queen a Princess film (the original fairytale was not). Disney took a risky gamble and went with the Princess formula with some modifications, and Frozen was released in 2013. The rest is history.

[@ashanti893]

princess and the frog is the best princess in my opinion idk how people didn’t like it.

[@nightflyer3242]

@@ashanti893 Couple of reasons, one was that it was a 2D animated film in a time when it was seen as obsolete, Disney had gambled on 2D nostalgia amongst fans but that fell short. Two, it had the word 'Princess' in the title, which at the time was not a selling point. Lastly, the movie did not capture enough international audience particularly in Asia, because unlike in the US, that part of the world is less accepting of a darker skinned character.

@@sportyspace_ Disney War by James B. Stewart is a good read for the Eisner-era Disney. Bob Iger's, The Ride of a Lifetime is also great. Anything on John Lasseter pre-me too is also a great source. There are a lot articles online about the Disney Princess and its influence. The LA Times article, "Disney Animation is closing the book on fairy tales" by Dawn C. Chmielewski and Claudia Eller, published just right after Tangled's release, has a lot of details about the WDAS's struggle with the princess genre in the 2000's.

[@joefrew1614]

Honestly, those critics back in 1959 do have merit to come of their criticisms on Sleeping Beauty, Aurora and Philip don’t have much character and the story seems more focused on side characters; which I am fine with, since they are really cool characters.

[@IsaacCarlson]

They were criticisms that I had when I first watched Sleeping Beauty. I think it takes a different perspective going into the film. What do you think?

[@andresoneca4414]

I disagree, let's be honest, the first Disney movies weren't focused on character arcs, it's like saying fantasy is bad for not having character development, the movie is not guided by narrative or character development, I don't think Aurora doesn't have much character (but philipe yes), but even if it was, it shouldn't be considered a problem, Sleeping Beauty is focused on capturing emotions, it's a film that dialogues with emotions rather than logic; In this case, the characters are of great flora, fauna and meryweather are some of Disney's best protagonists, Maleficent is one of the best villains, and Aurora, well, I advise you to read this page, www.fanpop.com / clubs / disney-princess / articles / 245751 / title / princess-issue-over-analysis-aurora

[@joefrew1614]

André soneca You have a really good point there, it really isn’t too much about the characters themselves back then, rather, it was more about visual and emotional storytelling. I’m not saying that the movie was bad or anything like that, far from it in fact, I am just looking at these earlier Disney princess movies from a rather pointless, pretty nick picky critical point of view

[@joefrew1614]

Wotso Videos I really like to see the film from different angles, seeing what are its strengths and weaknesses, especially since it’s interesting to take a look a them to see where Disney and their movies were at the time to see how they changed over the years.

[@jameslevy8347]

Disney was fun back then. But look at them now, all their doing is remaking their classical films into live action and buying companies. No one was happy when they buyed Marvel, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox. But Pixar and The Jim Henson Company was understandable. Disney should go back to hand drawn.

[@WTKB82]

James Levy uhh... Walt Disney literally built his company on remakes. That’s all Walt did. His entire plan was to remake classic stories because the public was already familiar with them. Disney is doing what it always did. And Disney buying marvel was the best thing ever.

[@jameslevy8347]

@@WTKB82 I meant Disney classical films. Walt Disney was a great and wonderful man who cared about people around the world. A lot of people will not agree with you about them buying Marvel and also George Lucas wasn't happy with Disney when they made Star Wars 7 and 8 because they weren't the story's he's written. I'm sorry if I annoyed you but it's true.

[@WTKB82]

James Levy Walt Disney was also a racist but no, I just mean to say that people keep complaining about remakes are acting like Disney hasn’t been doing remakes for its entire existence. Technology allows us to see things that were once animated in real life and no other film company can take beloved stories and bring them to life like Disney. Whether u like the movies or not, it’s great. Walt would be proud to see the live action Cinderella in my opinion. But yeah.

[@jameslevy8347]

@@WTKB82 If Walt was a racist he and his company would have been ruined years ago. Plus his father hated Jewish people. Walt got on well with the Sherman brothers and they were Jewish and they made the best Disney songs.

[@WTKB82]

James Levy you...you know having Jewish friends doesn’t mean you can’t be racist right? Walt’s Grandneice even affirmed the fact that he was racist. Disney routinely portrayed Jews and blacks negatively in his films and didn’t want nonwhites working in positions at the Disney Parks other than janitors and backstage jobs And he didn’t want them to direct his films nor did he want women to be animators despite the fact that Most women were film editors back in those days. Disney was racist and sexist. He did great things, sure. But let’s not pretend he was a god.

What I really like about the Sleeping Beauty is that they gave us a Prince that has more personality( not that I don't like the other early prince. It's just that we know more about Prince Philip and we see more action from him). But even though Aurora has few line and scene in the film; I still like her looks( for me, one of the most beautiful princess), her voice, her story( even the original) and her personality.

Maryse Bowen I think Cinderella is a good example for girls, Cinderella shows that kindness and femininity aren’t weaknesses, but in fact strengths. Cinderella was abused for most of the film but always kept her kindness and hope, Cinderella always has her head up and is very positive, hence why I believe she’s a positive influence on girls. Snow White, just like Cinderella, is very kind and optimistic, she always has a positive outlook. She’s also independent, since she doesn’t rely on anyone else and hardworking as she takes care of seven men. Aurora is just boring smh.

Don’t think you will ever see this, but I love the content and I think I speak for myself as well as many others to do an in depth look at the film Disney really tries to sweep under the rug, ‘The Black Cauldron’. I believe it’s not only Disney’s darkest film, but one that is also the most “undisney” if that makes sense. Follows a male protagonist in the princess role, the animation is solid, the music is phenomenal, John Hurt’s voice work for the Horned King is probably the best sounding villain Disney has ever had, and the dark subject matter. Like why make this film? I love it and am always happy when I see it brought up, hell, Disney barley makes merch for it, but when they do it because extremely expensive and valuable, clearly there is an underground love for this movie and I just feel it’s ALWAYS left out of the conversation for being “one of those dark age films” anyway, hope this messages finds you as I think it would make for a great video as not many people have discussed it on KZbin

I’m surprise to learn that Sleeping Beauty was the 3th princess-movie, as Cinderella has so much more to offer. Cinderella did have a lot of help, but has her own personality, and is a active character - as for Aurora only meet the prince, sleep and wakes up. Sleeping Beauty is more in time with Snow White.

[@IsaacCarlson]

That is true. Cinderella is characterized much more while the journey of Sleeping Beauty is meant to be more of a simple epic! Are you a bigger Cinderella fan out of the original three?

[@fannyknoll8242]

@@IsaacCarlson of the 3 first ones, yes I prefer Cinderella. Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, I'd always found kind of dull. Even as a little girl, dreaming of becoming a princess (yes - that is a long time ago ;-) ). Later on I realize that it was because of characters. My all time favorite princess is Belle, because she is independent and clever. Of the never princess' I really like Anna and Rapunzel

[@emilycurtis4398]

I feel like Aurora is more flirtatious and witty (scene in the forest with the animals). Snow White is very sweet and naive. Cinderella is kind and poised and a bit more mature.
