Beauty and the Beast

The cartoon in the beginning is really cool. I like how they used stained glass windows.

I didn’t know the people in the town thought she was so interesting and kinda coo coo for always reading. They do think she is beautiful but very strange.

She is just like the other Disney princesses in that she wants more than what she has in the life she is living now. She is also reading about her prince charming. 

“She is the most beautiful girl in the world and that makes her the best” SMH (shake my head)

I like that she does not like Gaston just because he is handsome but rather she desires a man who is knowledgable and kind. 

The scene when Belle’s father gets lost in the woods makes me sad he’s such a sweet old man.

The little tea cup is adorable and really adds to the movie! 

Man the beast really is not a nice guy at first.

Oh man it is so awkward that Gaston thinks he can marry any girl that he wants 

Holy cow I really don’t like Gaston at all. Arrogant butt.

It’s funny how excited they are that there is a girl there. Also she is the one that can save the beast (the man) … Girl Power !!!

“No one says no to Gaston” come on man get over yourself 

LeFou is a wonderful hype man … but hyping up all the wrong things. 

Lumiére and Cogsworth are funny together 

It is interesting how the female objects are the ones that do the cooking and the males are the ones who are doing the entertaining.

The dinner scene is so entertaining, fun, and playful. They are all so cute and excited about having a guest.

The tea pot is my favorite. 

It is kinda funny how she isn’t concerned that these objects are moving and talking.

She is very curious and always wanting to learn, which I think is much different from the Princesses that precede her. 

The Beast really is scary, I would have left too. 

Of course she looks pretty even while being attacked by the wolves.

Aw he protected her that’s the way to a girls heart right there.

I completely forgot about Gaston’s plan to get Belle to marry him by threatening her father.

The scene in the library is probably my favorite. It is really sweet that he would really want to do something nice for her. 

And aw the scene were she eats her food just like he does.

AW now he is being so sweet. I love how nervous he is to tell her he likes her. 

Neither of them liked each other until they really got to know each other. It wasn’t the typical love at first sight occasion. 

Man who wouldn’t want to live in a castle and get whatever they want. 

Gaston is horrendous. He will kill someone just because Belle may like him that is ridiculous. 

Good bye Gaston you will not be missed but dang it come on beast you can do this.

Oh ladies the prince has got some nice calves and some great hair wow they’re a cute couple. 

This is such a cute ending.

Over all I think Belle is a huge step in the right direction for Disney Princesses. She is intelligent and curious and charismatic. And their relationship was built off of a lot more than just looks and desire.

Moana Reflection

Moana is the best Disney movie hands down. As I watch I will point out all the many reasons why! Moana is the cutest little kid of all time  The animation is fantastic It is about the sea  Moana will be the first female leader of their tribe Moana’s grandmother is unbothered by the fact that she is the “island's crazy woman” and she stays true to herself and loves what she loves despite what others think  Moana is a huge improvement from the original Disney princesses. She has a much more realistic body image. She is not perfectly shaped as an hourglass with curves and breasts. She is still very beautiful but what makes her truly beautiful is her internal attributes. She is very active and charismatic and passionate and intelligent. She has many talents that go beyond just singing and looking pretty  Moana could fix the leak in the house but the man could not Every single song in this movie is amazing Their tribe is so friendly and relies on each other to survive

Beauty and the Beast (2017) Reflection

The 2017 version of the Beauty and the Beast is most definitely both new and improved. First of all, any movie with Emma Watson in it is going to be a great movie. I think that she played the role of Belle beautifully. She was a perfect fit to be the lead of this movie for many reason. Disney has been working very diligently to bring light to its name. Many people have been bashing on Disney over the years for portraying negative feminine stereotypes, as well as many other things. I know that Disney made a conscious effort to improve many of the flaws in the original Beauty and the Beast. By choosing Emma Watson they were choosing a woman that is known for standing for women’s rights. Emma is a feminist and has spoken out several times about the importance of equal rights as well as the importance of education for girls. Disney did not choose her to be their lead on accident.  Emma gave Belle a bigger personality than she had in the original film. She is much more independent a

Jeffords Response

Susan Jeffords’ presents many interesting ideas about how Disney films portray masculinity. In my opinion, parts of her article were difficult to understand or stay engaged with. In the beginning of her article, she talked about Ronald Reagan and George Bush and that did not resinate with me. I understand what she was trying to bring forward outside factors aside form Disney, but I think her arguments would have been more powerful if she just got to the point sooner. I thought that her use of Arnold Schwarzenegger, in Kindergarten Cop was more effective. I like that this type of film  was compared to Disney films. I think her claim that, Kindergarten Cop sends the message that “tough, hard-driving, violent, and individualistic” men are not like that by choice, is very interesting. And I honestly think this is a valid claim. In our society, men are expected to be the tough ones. They should not be emotional, vulnerable, weak, or dependent. While women are sexualized and made to feel l
