disney princesas Article: My Opinion on Emma Watson Playing Belle

2

posted by WinterSpirit809

I may be a little late for this but here we go...

So I have this opinion that I don't know whether or not it's popular, but I know at one point it wasn't. Everyone is just like "oh, she's going to be horrible as Belle!" But I strongly disagree, and here is why.

People say she looks nothing like Belle, so I'm just sitting here like soooo....? She looks no less the the same as Emilie de Ravin does, and she makes a great Belle on Once Upon a Time! I get it, when people see the live action versions of these movies, they want to see the characters similar in both personality wise and design wise, but they really don't look that different.

However there are reasons why I'm excited for this, especially after seeing the trailers for the movie.

For one, I find many similarities between Belle and Hermione Granger from Harry Potter, another character played por Emma Watson. Seeing Emma being cast as Belle made me super excited, because I amor Hermione, and I loved the way Emma Wateon played her. I mean, obviously there are differences between Hermione and Belle, but the point is seeing her play someone so similar to Belle makes me confident that she will do a good job with his role.

It may also be my personal bias, but this is also one of my favorito actresses, playing a princess that is in my topo, início five, so that brings a lot of excitement.

Plus her cantar voice is so stunning, and although I thought original cantar voice of Belle was okay, Emma's voice sure takes the cake for this! It's so clear and once again, disney has surprised me with another actress being able to sing.

So yeah, I really don't have any issues with Emma Watson as Belle, and am really excited to watch it!

fansfunsz and Mongoose09 like this

RoseRapunzel I absolutely agree! I don't like that some people think she's terrible as Belle or they just see Hermione instead of Belle. I have no problem with her, in fact, I'm excited to see the great job she's surely done.

Sparklefairy375 I agree with you. Emma is a great choice for the role of Belle. I don't understand why peoples having trouble about her as Belle. They need to move on from Hermione :P Anyway, I completely agree that Emma, Belle, and Hermione are quite similar :) good-looking and smart girls :D

Mongoose09 I agree with this article, I understand why she wouldn't be everyone's taste but I think she's a perfect choice, especially since she's so passionate about the role, clearly loves the character and isn't just playing the part for the paycheck or to look good. Sure, my opinion might change when I actually watch the movie but regardless I can understand why she was picked. People say she's a bad actress and while she might not be Oscar-worthy or anything she REALLY improved over the course of the HP movies; she was brilliant in the last couple of movies IMO. I also don't get the "doesn't look like her" comments... caucasian?? check. beautiful?? check. slim?? check. brunette?? check. Even if she didn't look like her it doesn't really matter anyway, of course this movie is supposed to be similar to the animated version, but it's not supposed to be an exact replica.

lililc i havent seen the movie, while i totally despise the way she plays hermione i think i´ll give her a change,maybe she manages to understand belle´s character

deedragongirl I whole-heartedly agree, I hate it when movie stars tend to be typecast in a certain role.

quishy11 Very nice article! I don't agree because I strongly feel that Emma's and Belle's vibes are at the opposite end of the spectrum. Good actresses can create a personality fine, but the vibes do not always work. And that's the most important thing for me to get into the movie. I can still enjoy it but I won't get nearly as into it. And I like Paige's voice better, to throw my opinion out there lol.

lililc ok,i saw the trailer, she wouldn't be my first option but she seems decent. Until now the only thing i don't like about Belle in the new movie is the dress , everything else looks pretty good

hatelarxene I love this article! Emma Watson is the perfect Belle. The only thing I would disagree with you on is that the original Belle's voice is just "okay" while Emma's voice is "stunning" (though it is good). No way is Emma Watson a better singer than Paige O'Hara. No way. I honestly don't get the criticisms that she looks "nothing like Belle". Lily James didn't look like Cinderella, either, and Elle Fanning DEFINITELY looked nothing like Aurora whatsoever (and honestly, those two looked even less like their animated counterparts than Emma does to Belle). I'd rather have someone who doesn't look like the character but can actually ACT (such as James, Fanning, or especially Watson, who's also one of my favorite actresses) rather than someone who looks more the part yet CANNOT act to save lives (*cough* Emmy Rossum *cough*. Seriously, I don't know why so many people want Rossum as Belle).

Mongoose09 ^ agree, for sure. Emma definitely looks more like Belle than those two did as their characters (I love Lily James as Cinderella, don't get me wrong).

fansfunsz i have adored her

Sparklefairy375 Completely agree with Hatelarxene!

quishy11 I actually think Lily James looks more like Belle than Cinderella and a lot more like Belle than Emma Watson.

My disney AU's

AU where Ariel's sisters scorn her for being ignorant after getting married to Eric, except for the oldest sister because she once fell in amor with a human too before any of them were born and was forbidden to talk about it.

AU where Belle is great at writing, and when Adam can't figure out how to correctly write trade letters to other kingdoms Belle does it for him

AU where Cogsworth and Lumiere start dating after they're both turned back into humans, and Belle is constantly giving Lumiere conselhos about dating. Then, one day, Lumiere proposes to Cogsworth and Belle becomes his best "man"/woman...

My Original Thoughts

I absolutely loved Ariel. I can't really go in depth about it, because when I first saw it, I was really little. (Prolly about 5 or 6) But my feelings were pretty straightforward: she was a MERMAID & was pretty & a unique princess. I mean, I kinda wanted to be her. Who wouldn't want to live under the sea? I never really understood why she wanted be a human, though, because a mermaid was freaking amazing in my mind! Something...

Part of @rapunzelsgold_ "The Little Mermaid"

posted by rapunzelsgold_

As the sun settled down into the sky, Ariel watched as steam poured out of the crock-pot the cook was using. It made a popping noise once in awhile from all the boiling it was doing, which made her jump. She was curious, and wanted to ask what made it do that. But, she couldn't. Not after she gave her voice away. She touched her throat a bit, until someone pulled on her back. She turned her head to see the maid, short and plump, grumpy faced.
"You should be getting ready! Dinner's only in less than thirty minutes."
Ariel had a strong urge to fight back and tell her she couldn't boss her around...

Opposing Woes, Part 11.

Merida was worried.

I could get fired for this. I want to keep this job mais than anything.

She wasn't sure if dragging jasmim into the bushes was the best idea.

I wasn't supposed to do this, and now I'll get caught. she thought.

Afterwards she called her friend Ariel.

"Who are you?" Ariel asked.

"I'm your friend, Merida." Merida responded to her.

"I don't have a friend named Merida." Ariel replied back.

Merida hung up the phone. She then went to call Ariel's father to see what was going on.

"My poor daughter has amnesia." He explained. "I'm sorry Merida, but she won't remember you."

The Special Girls Chapter 1: Background Stories

posted by sweetie-94

Several months atrás I wrote this fã fiction for the first time, many people seemed to amor it, but I stopped composição literária because it was around the time Frozen - Uma Aventura Congelante was going to be released and after that I just lost an interest in composição literária fã fictions, but after leitura some of the newer fã fictions here I decided to rewrite this fã fiction, differences from the last version? It'll have Anna (Kristen) and Elsa (Idina) in it and the stories will be different from the ones in the last one. I can already now tell you that some might be dark and when October comes I'll write a special Dia das bruxas story...

As usual, I have a hard time making lists so don't pay too much attention to the rankings and just read what I have to say.

If you've known me over a ano ago, you'd know that I'm not much of a pixar fan. Yes, I know I'm an awful person for discriminating between animation studios and this is pixar we're talking about. So yeah, I'm guessing this is why I can't get into Valente no matter how hard I try, considering it's also one, if not, my least favorito pixar movie.

Pocahontas was lying on the floor wishing the pain would stop. She held tight to her stomach as it stabbed her with increasing pain. She tried to get up, but the pain dragged her back down. As she fell back down, she felt her stomach cringe up so hard, it made her pain excruciating. She screamed as she struggled. The others heard her all the way from the cozinha and rushed to her. They were in the room in seconds.

"POCAHONTAS! What's wrong?" John asked frightened. "I DON'T KNOW!" Pocahontas screamed. She cried out once more. "Just calm down." John reassured. "Shang, ride into town and get the...

Yes, the título is very original! Basically, what you see in the título is what you get, so let's get to it!

Okay, so most of you already know that my name is Jackie, but...

It's not! *mindblown*

It's mainly because I don't want people to try track me down, since you never know who you can trust on the Interwebs. But, if I feel that you're close to me, then I'll probably tell you. Otherwise, just call me Jackie. I don't really mind. I'm 13 years old, much to lots of people's surprise, since I sound like I'm 18+, and I live in America. Specifically, California.

My username is pretty self explanatory....

I would change my name to Belle!

It sounds so pretty and I like the way it rooks off your tongue. It also is spelled really pretty (weird thing to say about a name) and I would amor composição literária it on homework and such.

I want Pocahontas' athleticism!

I am not the most athletic person in the world and I really suck at sports. It would be great to be mais athletic or at least hate sports less.

I wanna paint on my walls! D: I'm sure there's room!

I saw Emmalou13 and dimitri_ do this, and I just had to do it as well! So enjoy!

1. I would change my name to Elsa
I have been obsessed with this name ever since I first heard about Frozen. It's just so pretty, and it would sound really good with my middle and last name :)

2. I would have Rapunzel's painting skills
Or, like her everything skills, because she's so good at everything. But mostly painting, that would be great. Or her cookie making skills, those look absolutely delicious.

She seems so supportive of Tiana. Beside's, she's an epic dressmaker!

disney Academy (Through Jasmine's Eyes) Part 3

posted by curtains4

I had good news and bad news. The good news was that I was going to disney Academy. The bad news was that I had to leave Agrabah and Aladdin. I was sure that aladdin would know that I need to be schooled and he would understand that, but it was so hard too say goodbye. I walked up to him and sucked up my tears.
"A-Aladdin." I stuttered. "I really need to tell you something."
"Sure." He said. "What is it?"
"I've been a-acccepted in D-Disney Academy. Th-That means that I h-have to leave y-you." I couldn't take it, and bursted out crying.
"Aww. Jasmine, I'm happy you get to go to disney Academy....
