I want to make it clear- I 爱情 THE MOVIE ALADDIN, I 爱情 every character in it- except Aladdin. And finally, i'll tell 你 why.
I didn't really organize this well because I couldn't figure this out.

Main issues- Aladdin's sexist/classicism assumptions, and Jasmine's hypocrisy

Scenario: 阿拉丁 sees 茉莉, 茉莉花 in the marketplace, falls for her, brings her back to his poor-boy hut, and together they have a 心 to 心 about how they feel trapped 由 their situations. Although 茉莉, 茉莉花 doesn't explicitly state that she is a princess, she does hint that it's not an enjoyable life. "Oh sure, people who tell 你 where to go, and how to dress..."
She discusses how she's getting forced to get married and how awful it is. They have a cute moment and nearly kiss, when they're broken up. Princess-in-disguise 茉莉, 茉莉花 is about to 吻乐队(Kiss) 街, 街道 鼠, 大鼠 Aladdin.

Cut to 阿拉丁 dressed up as a Prince approaching the town. 茉莉, 茉莉花 is shown to be totally unimpressed 由 the big parade, rolling her eyes and scoffing at its grandiosity. 阿拉丁 grins his cocky-boy grin and enters the castle, charming the Sultan immediately. After referring to 茉莉, 茉莉花 as a prize to be won, 茉莉, 茉莉花 overhears and angrily scorns them for treating her as such.

Cut to 阿拉丁 talking to the genie. The genie suggests 阿拉丁 BE HIMSELF. Aladdin's response?
"If 茉莉, 茉莉花 found out I was some crummy 街, 街道 rat, she'd laugh at me."



WHAT.
1. 你 met 茉莉, 茉莉花 in the marketplace and SHE ALMOST KISSED 你 WHEN SHE KNEW 你 WERE A 街, 街道 RAT, 你 MORON. This means 阿拉丁 is just automatically assuming that because 茉莉, 茉莉花 is a princess, because of her royalty, she must be shallow and only want the finest of men. This is a shallow assumption for 阿拉丁 to make, and shows he didn't listen to a word 茉莉, 茉莉花 说 while they were talking at his hut. Even though he knew her when he thought she was also poor, finding out she was a princess illogically and immediately changed his view on her.

2. If what he assumes is true, that 茉莉, 茉莉花 IS shallow and only wants rich, handsome men, why would Aladdin, the boy who wants to prove that there's so much 更多 to him, degrade himself and act as an impostor just to win a girl he assumes has shallow morals? My only assumption is that because as he previously repeats in the movie, he thinks being rich will solve all his problems. I won't fault him for that, growing up poor all his life must really take his toll, but does he need to bring someone else down with him?


Cut to 阿拉丁 on the balcony with Jasmine. 阿拉丁 tries to act as smooth, confident 阿拉丁 who 茉莉, 茉莉花 doesn't care for- but wait! Does 茉莉, 茉莉花 recognize him as the 街, 街道 鼠, 大鼠 from the marketplace?
阿拉丁 agrees with 茉莉, 茉莉花 when she says she is rich, the daughter of the sultan (not that he can dispute), and a 'fine prize for any prince to marry'. AGREES. And gives her the ol' up-down with his eyes. She spurns him once again for being SO materialistic and tells him to jump off a balcony, how DARE he be so shallow, like any other stuffed-shirt swaggering peacock she's met!


...Until, of course, 阿拉丁 whips out his magic carpet (no metaphor intended) and 茉莉, 茉莉花 instantly turns into the materialistic, shallow person that she's been insulting others for being this whole film.
"A liar who agrees that I am only a rich, hot prize to be won? GO JUMP OFF A BALCONY! Oh, 你 have a magic carpet? Never mind, let me hop on that!"
Jasmine, after discovering this guy not only is lying to her, 表演 totally cocky and shallow, but also is trying to win her over with material items (as she was so unimpressed with a giant parade with many other, 更多 impressive magical items) rightfully and admirably spurns him, until he literally scrapes the bottom of the barrel and doesn't even try to win her over with words 或者 apology, just pulls out his flying machine and wow, she is charmed. AND at this point she should realize, if she suspects that he is the boy from the marketplace, that he is 表演 EXACTLY the opposite of what she wants, even as she EXPRESSED to him, which should lead her to the conclusion that not only is she shallow but he was feigning interest/didn't care.

I won't dive too much into the 'A Whole New World' scene but I will say that there, 阿拉丁 is being totally possessive and controlling of Jasmine.


During their scene in China, 茉莉, 茉莉花 finally tricks 阿拉丁 into revealing that he isn't who he's pretending to be- and he lies again. APPARENTLY HE STILL HASN'T REMEMBERED 或者 PICKED UP ON THE FACT THAT SHE REALLY LOVED THE BOY FROM THE MARKETPLACE, EVEN THOUGH SHE ACTS TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WHEN HE LIES AND SAYS THAT IT WASN'T HIM. ("I even send servants to go to the marketplace for my servants! It couldn't have been me 你 met"...Jasmine: *sighs sadly* "No, I guess not.") 阿拉丁 is clearly so self-absorbed he can't even pick up on what 茉莉, 茉莉花 wants. He just assumes and takes over.


Finally, let's cut to Prince Ali (Reprise).
茉莉, 茉莉花 finally discovers 阿拉丁 has been lying the whole time (revealed 由 Jafar, although that scene confuses me; 阿拉丁 already lied and 说 he dressed up as a 街, 街道 鼠, 大鼠 to escape palace life, so how would 展示 him in 街, 街道 鼠, 大鼠 clothes reveal anything? Wouldn't 茉莉, 茉莉花 just see the clothes as his disguise clothes? but I digress.. ) So now (somehow) she REALLY knows that he really is poor, and that he's been nonstop lying to her this whole time, as well as totally ignoring her 查看 and wants like everyone else, and to 最佳, 返回页首 it all off, he already KNEW what she wanted (freedom and someone to understand her and not assume things about her), and should understand perfectly as that's what 阿拉丁 wants to. But he is the worst, as he does understand but acts the opposite, because of totally shallow views.
When 阿拉丁 returns to rescue them all, there's no conflict with 茉莉, 茉莉花 being upset at him, yelling at him for lying so many times, 或者 most preferably, getting fed up at him being so shallow, a liar, and basically treating her like crap. Instead, she just immediately welcomes him back and it's like nothing happened. There's no inner conflict, no attitude, she's just excited to see him and it's as if this girl who supposedly is supposed to not be pray to horrible men just keeps falling for his lies, 或者 willing herself to believe them, regardless of the implications 或者 non-logic. She's turned into a weaker girl than any of the princesses at that point. What? 你 lose major, MAJOR points for me there, Jas.


On 最佳, 返回页首 of all this, 阿拉丁 treats his 老友记 like crap. He takes total advantage of Abu (who can be a pain but that's no reason to be rude), AND especially Genie, who shows nothing but kindness to Aladdin, and to who 阿拉丁 keeps abusing and taking advantage of. Whenever anyone, especially the Genie, tries to offer him advice, he yells/snaps at them ("Buzz off!") and acts incredibly self-absorbed.


阿拉丁 is also so down on himself , the whole thing about him not being worthy of anyone
but then sings "There's so much 更多 to me" and says "I'm not worthless!". Its like he's both trying to prove himself, but he's self-pitying when it's convenient for him. He always wants to be the victim.


I wouldn't be so bothered 由 all of this if 阿拉丁 had changed in the end, but he didn't. He's still the same Aladdin. He never apologizes for his actions, except fleetingly, and to Abu, ("I'm sorry Abu, this is all my fault, I've gotta go back and set things straight.") when he should be apologizing to Genie & Jasmine. His transformation is condensed to one sentence- "I gotta stop trying to be something I'm not." 你 never see any REAL transformation. And in the sequels & the TV shows he continues to boss Genie around and lie and lie again and again and again, apologizes everytime, and goes back to lying again. The cycle is this:

Aladdin: *lies*
Jasmine: *gets upset*
Aladdin: *depressed and says sorry*
Jasmine: *forgives him*

And the cycle repeats. Over and over. I'm neutral towards/ dislike 阿拉丁 in the first movie, but in the sequels I honestly hate him. I won't get into discussing how he's so much worse in the sequels, but let's just say 'Out of Thin Air' has to be one of the most condescending and disrespectful things Aladdin's ever said/sang, although I like the song.

I can't forgive 阿拉丁 for all the things I named. Assumptions, being shallow, rude to his friends, but most of all- NEVER LEARNING HIS GODDAMN LESSON.
And 茉莉, 茉莉花 can't be in my 最佳, 返回页首 3. I love her attitude, probably the thing she gets criticized most for and is actually the best part about her, but her actions I find hypocritical and weak.

And that's why I don't like Aladdin.

Please note that this is a countdown where we users make a lot of assumptions and don't provide proof of anything. This is for the amusement so please don't kill the fun :)




11. Prince
The Prince from Snow White comes in last place, can't say I'm stunned. At that time, 迪士尼 animators haven't mastered drawing male characters yet so I'm guessing what's underneath isn't HD quality either. He's also quite feminine looking, petite frame with soft edges. No worries though, Snow White loves his man for his huuuuuuuge 心 :)


10. Charming
Nope, still not quite there with drawing men. Charming...

We all know the step-sister from 灰姑娘 that ends up reforming in the sequels. However, many people seem to have criticisms about her because they feel that she shouldn't have been forgiven 由 Cinderella, there was nothing to 显示 that she deserved to be redeemed, and that it's ridiculous that she got to be redeemed but Drizella didn't. First of all, I think I need to explain where this idea of 真假公主 reforming came from. In the original Charles Perrault version of Cinderella, Cinderella's real name was actually Ella. When she became a servant she would sleep 由 the fireplace to keep...

 One of my 最喜爱的 songs of all time.
One of my favorite songs of all time.
Disney's 《冰雪奇缘》 is receiving rave reviews,and the song"Let It Go"is one of the highlights of the film.Don't take my word for it-Wikipedia,as usual is great for such simple backround facts.I have decided that Elsa is my 最喜爱的 迪士尼 character,but I'm having internal 辩论 whether"Let It Go"is my 最喜爱的 迪士尼 song-time will tell,but I'm leaning towards"yes".On my 谷歌 搜索 history,there are queries such as "Let It Go is brilliant" and "Frozen Let It Go analysis",but having found nothing satisfactory,I've decided to write this post instead.
There has been much written about Let It...

Awhile ago, linkabout which Houses the Princesses would be in, and several of 你 requested that I do one about the princes as well. I’m pleased to announce that this is it!

But before I begin my analyses, it’s time for some disclaimers…

1. About the Houses. Here’s how I tend to think of the Houses of Hogwarts. (Note: I will be saying the most about Slytherin, since Slytherin is most often distorted.)

Gryffindor: values bravery, daring, bold decision-making, rule-breaking, following one’s dreams, standing up for one’s friends, and being 总体, 整体 “fun”/pleasant/courageous.

Slytherin...

I've never done this before. And as a new user, I'm pretty sure that I'm dipping into a kind of no-man's land, here.

I primarily judge 迪士尼 princesses not 由 their looks 或者 anything, but 由 their character, and 由 their plot-lines. Some of the 迪士尼 princesses are less developed than others, in my opinion, and that might be partially due to the story/plot-line itself ( as most of 迪士尼 is adaptation-based).

Some of the characteristics of each princess I find admirable, while other traits I just find...for lack of a better term...irritating. Yeah.


I'm going to rate the 迪士尼 princesses...

This is a serious article. Eyebrows frame your face so 你 need to have the right pair. I spend way too much time plucking and grooming my eyebrows so yeah, I think eyebrows are very aesthetically important. I noticed the results look a bit like my non-existent prettiest Princess 列表 with a few exceptions of course.





13. Mulan
They are Asian looking alright, with the shape. I promise I don't have anything against big eyebrows but Mulan's kind of overpower her eyes and they look a bit untamed. They are definitely not bad, just comparing to the others. Shang has nice strong arched eyebrows though....

One of the best things about 迪士尼 princess films are their princesses(obviously) and songs. As a singer, 音乐 lover, and actor, I've always paid close attention to the voices that bring these wonderful characters and songs to life. I am picky about the voices I like but can admit that no princess has a bad voice, some are just much better than others. Share your opinions.
13. Snow White
Let me begin 由 saying that I'm ranking both 唱歌 and speaking voices and that even though she's at the bottom, I don't hate Snow White's voice. Let's be honest here, most people find her voice to be annoying....
