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.

disney Princesses: Feminine Attributes of Charm

posted by laylastepford

Charm-the Real Feminine Mystique:
"A girl need not have perfect features nor an outstanding figure to be popular. But she should have charm. As Sir James Barrie had Maggie say in his play, What Every Woman Knows, 'If you have it, you don't need to have anything else; and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have.'

Once you have acquired charm, you'll probably never lose it. Especially after you have discovered how much happier your life is because you are considered to be that charming girl down the street.

To be charming you need not to be any particular age, weight or height...

Here's my quick top10 favoritos of disney Princess movie songs. I get stuck to a new tune or lyrics far easily, if its hummable and peppy especially. I like listening to songs and don't have particular fixed tastes in genres. Though i find, i tend to gravitate towards pop, rock and Indian music. Very rarely I enjoy classical music, although some that I amor become my all time favoritos and they don't die-out. I guess that's how classic música is. Anyways, this is my current list of topo, início 10 favrorites songs from DP movies, it keeps changing for sure as I mover onto newer songs.

The Classics (& Such DPs) Are Unrealistic....

posted by laylastepford

.... Or Are They? I keep hearing this massive distortion that Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora and sometimes others are "unrealistically perfect". Well first of all, they're not actually "perfect" but yes they strive for it and come pretty close. The number one reason? The earlier DPs were made in a time where families were still valued as well as good morals and they were on their best behavior in front of children, hoping that the kids would learn to embrace positive traits and reject negative traits so they would be mais positive people. They cared mais about well-roundedness, being modest...

Merida: A character review in her defense

posted by anukriti2409

source: Pete Ware

Okay, so I have come across a lot of criticism against Merida that she is childish, rude, reckless, selfish and what not. But since she's my 2nd favorito princess, i'd like to put up a case in her favor for people to consider and see her in better light. I have tried to dissect the movie scenes, probed into possible perspective on various minor details that may have been overlooked.

Why she isn't sophisticated as others:
She no doubt loves both her mother and father, but Merida takes off a part of feisty, loud and unapologetically honest side from her father. She loves to fight with him, laughing...

My Ranking on Saddest Moments from DP filmes

posted by anukriti2409

The saddest moments from DP filmes that made me cry and most often they still do. Some are close to coração while some are so well enacted and animated that i'm moved por the simplicity of emotions.

13. 3 good fadas put the entire kingdom to sleep:
Despite their best of efforts, they lose Aurora to the spell and the only way to make things work is to put the entire kingdom to sleep, waking only when she awakens. It makes me sad to see them blame themselves for this loss. It doesn't make me cry though, but yes, it puts me in a sad mood.

My Version of "Prettiest Princess" Ranking

posted by laylastepford

So I've been leitura that the "Prettiest Princess" ranking is sort of like a right of passage artigo that all of the fãs here on fanpop do so I figured it was time for my own. Instead of just doing a physical beauty ranking, I wanted to do an no geral, global beauty ranking instead. I personally see ranking women based only on their physical beauty as objectifying them so I am kind of confused that it's not looked at that way here on fanpop? (Not saying this to judge or condone others but just out of genuine curiosity and confusion considering the way some fãs have reacted to perceived objectification...

The Artist's Definition: Snow White

posted by MissCinico

If any of you are familiar with character stylization or really art in general you might like this article. I'm talking about character stylization in the sense that when the artist is also the author of the character's personality and has written out their every thought in simply the way they are designed. This can also be called "interpreted art" as anyone can perceive it differently, but a common factor still remains that everyone agrees on. BASICALLY I'm going to "guess" what the princess' personality is like based on the way she's drawn, see what the general consensus is on her personality...

Songs that Match Snow White

This is an update to my original list.

My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music
Video: link

This song reminds me of the scene in the woods after she's been scared por the dark shadowed shapes of the trees. When she asks the animais what they would do and starts cantar With a Smile and a Song. Well this be an alternative song or whilst she' cantar she could be imagining her favourite things. I can also Snow White cantar this. It does require a positive sounding vocal so it makes sense.

sweetie-94's favorito disney Princesses

posted by sweetie-94

Since this section has been very inactive lately I decided to fresh it up por composição literária another article, about my favorito disney Princesses, hope you'll like this artigo :)

13. Merida

She's the only disney Princess that I don't like at all, but I don't dislike her either, I feel neutral towards her. The main reason might sound weird, but it's mainly because I don't think she fits in the disney Princess lineup, to be perfectly honest I would appreciate her character mais if she wasn't an official disney Princess. Besides that there's nothing wrong about her character except her temper, she's...

The Vices of the disney Princesses, Part Three: The Modern disney Princesses

posted by wavesurf

Hello All! Due to my life interfering with my time these days, I took a hiatus from artigo writing. I also took a hiatus, because KataraLover and Cruella stepped into the void, and took on the “these are horrible characters argument” in a set of ongoing video discussions that can be found on the video links page of The disney Princess Club. (My hat goes off to them, as they were dispelling the myths and stigmas surrounding certain unbeloved characters). Great work, guys!!!
Since this is the last artigo on the Vices of the disney Princesses, I want to at least say...
