JCC A critical analysis of socio-cultural tropes as presented by Disney characters

What is really scary is the fact that all of the furniture is really just the palace court under a curse.

So when that one chest eats the baker and then belches.....and then later turns back into a human.....

Yessirree, Disney Cannibalism!

 

errghh You know I hate the cold!!!

too late. lol. And I meant that it scared me when I was little. Like 4 years old.

 

Lee: And Jasmine would be Paris Hilton.

No. So what if she's an heiress? She's got more morals than Paris Hilton ever had.

Plus a really big tiger. That mauls people.

Belle showed remarkable self-awareness. She was able to manuever through a chaotic city whilst reading, and avoided numerous obstacles and pitfalls like the drainage water. She's clearly very possessed of her wits.

At the same time, she is singing a song about just how predictable and stale her town is. For her to maneuver around a "chaotic" city is equivalent to Bill Murray maneuvering around in Groundhog Day.

 

You ought to notice how she does absolutely nothing but prance around town, chase after luxury, and whine about her unfulfilling life. Meanwhile contributing absolutely nothing to society, while the rest of the town is left to grinding labor of surviving in medieval Europe. What's noble about being a free-loader?

 

While the town maybe slow and stale at most times, morning in most European cities at this time were full of hustle and bustle. It's amazing she didn't get hurt while walking and reading.

these two were my favorite, hands down. And, honestly, I liked Jasmine a lot too.

 

It is not. And all she is exhibiting is how bored she is with life in general.

 

Jasmine, leaves castle because her father is forcing her to get married. While a good reason to leave. It's all in self-interest.

Belle, leaves her normal life to save her father. Heroine


Comparing Jasmine to Belle is like comparing Snow White to Belle. Both Jasmine and Snow White were only interested in themselves and what helped them along the way.

~PK~

 

Superiority to one's surroundings does not necessarily mean superior in the grand scheme of things.

Its like saying someone is superior for having syph while everyone else has AIDS.

 

With permission:


The Xenocide441: hell, belle is a classic battered woman
SonofCtesiphon: LOLOLOL
The Xenocide441: the guy KIDNAPPED her and almost BEAT her and she not only wanted to help his vinegar fresh session ass, she fell in love
The Xenocide441: that's what rihanna watched when she was younger

 

she was in France...

 

True enough.

Belle would be the woman on COPS saying "Naw, Jim-Bob didn't do nuthin'..."

 

But her behavior proves her superiority throughout the movie - she goes back to help the Beast even when she doesn't have to and has set her free (after the wolf attack). She knows she did him wrong and tries to redeem that behavior. She also tries to save him from the townspeople at great risk to herself, when the Beast himself would have preferred to curl up and die.

She proves she is superior in multiple surroundings, not just her provincial town.

 

Oh, so you would rather Belle end up with Gaston.....



~PK~

 

okay, yeah, I don't remember this movie.

 

Why must female Disney characters always "end up" with someone? Poor Quasimodo didn't get ****.

 

Like there was any real choice. His possessed furniture killed every other townsman. What was she going to do? Pull a Lot's daughter surprise?

Which sucks royally because he was the one doing all the work. Phoebus just showed up and looked pretty.

 

WATCH THE SECOND ONE

 

he was *ugly.

 

He let her go. In the end he said you can leave. He didn't care if she came back to him and be with him. But she did. And that takes a real strength to go against the status quo and not care what others think.
