Producing a film demands a significant amount of time. Similarly, engaging in a television series spanning numerous seasons and episodes can extend over a decade or more. Meanwhile, life continues, leading actors to form marital bonds or become parents during this duration. Nonetheless, revealing pregnancy to peers and superiors on the set remains a considerable source of anxiety for female performers. This apprehension arises from the potential mismatch with the storyline, placing the artist in jeopardy of relinquishing her role.
Disney has already released 20 live-action adaptations of its own animated movies, and 4 more will be released in 2023 and 2024. When it comes to the beloved Disney princesses, some have already made the jump to the real world, giving us a chance to see a brand-new version of a dear childhood character.
Movie characters often have pseudo-historical costumes and hairstyles. But even fairy tale characters shouldn’t be wearing something random. For example, the classic Snow White, wearing a kimono, is quite unusual.We still have certain expectations: princesses wear corsets and wide skirts, and princes are dressed in doublets. Of course, the origins of the films dictate costumes as well, as Belle is from a French tale, and Snow White is from a German one. Check out the bonus section, and you’ll see what we mean.
Manifestation can be defined as the process of turning an idea into a reality. While many people believe that it’s merely a pseudoscience, others swear by it. In fact, the Hollywood world is full of examples of celebrities who get to live out their longtime fantasies, whether romantically, professionally, or both.
Movie directors and the audience can be so fond of particular characters that they keep bringing them back on the big screen in new films. It’s only fair that some roles get recast, as getting a new actor can bring a new twist to a character or be good for when the story needs to be retold completely. This is the case with Lara Croft: the reboot expanded on the character’s backstory and moved away from the “dated ideas” the original movies had.
Playing cartoon characters must be a tough job, especially when it comes to characters that millions of people fell in love with when they were little kids. Luckily, there are talented actors and actresses who were born to bring fairytales to life. Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, Helena Bonham Carter as Fairy Godmother, Emma Watson as Belle, and other celebs in this article helped us live through our favorite stories once again, and we can’t thank them enough.
Actress Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are raising 2 daughters, Delta and Lincoln. Interviewers like to ask Bell questions about her parenting experience and raising kids, and she loves answering them. From useful kid safety tips to ways to show kids how to be compassionate, there are a bunch of parenting lessons that Dax Shepard’s wife can teach other moms and dads, and we’d love to share them.
There are characters in movies and literature that are perhaps known to everyone. But still, there are facts about them that we somehow manage to miss out on. All because we tend to remember some details incorrectly, while other details get transformed in the process of creating a screen version. As a result, the age of the characters, the meaning of their names, and other things turn into an amusing discovery.
The fairy tales we heard and read about when growing up are not what they seem to be. This is because, over time, the stories got changed so drastically that even the main plots are not what they used to be. One example is that Sleeping Beauty didn’t pinch her finger on a spindle at all.
Most families are incomplete in the Disney universe. Although Disney movies are widely loved by their audience with their beautiful heartwarming stories, it is easy to notice that most of the families are incomplete and that mothers are not present. This may have left you wondering why such an important person is missing.
Cartoon ladies having an anatomically impossible waist to hip ratio is the standard at this point. Snow White is the most proportionally correct Disney princess since animators drew her from a real-life model and were tasked by the big man Walt himself to make her look more realistic and less cartoony. But it would be nice to imagine other characters in this fashion too.
When watching cartoons about princesses, we might not realize that it’s not just animated characters that we see on the screen. They simultaneously reflect the features of a certain time period and form the standards of women’s behavior and social norms of their period. If you look at those princesses closer, you’ll understand the goals of the girls from this or that decade, as well as their position in society. For more than 80 years of Disney princess history, a real evolution of female characters has taken place and it is directly related to what was happening in society.
We grew up watching Disney’s animated films: tales full of wizards, princesses and princes, and enchanted creatures were a common thing in our childhood. Of course, that means that when a new version of these stories is released on the big screen, we’re all dying to go to the movies and watch. Let alone if the new movie features some world-renowned stars! Over the years, we have been able to enjoy different live-action adaptations featuring some of our favorite actors.
Fairy tales can sometimes send mixed messages. In fact, when Charles Perrault wrote Cinderella, he ended the story with 2, rather conflicting morals. First, that goodness is more important than appearances and second, in a slightly more cynical tone, that things like courage and intelligence are important, but you need a “godmother” or “godfather” to help you get ahead in life. In other words, there’s no greater magic than the power of networking.
We rarely think about the true meaning of fairy tales we know. But if you dig deeper into the story, you will see that Rapunzel is about unhappy love, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs didn’t actually have a stepmother in the story, and Pinocchio was supposed to have a different ending. And the deeper you go into a story, the more interesting it gets.
Ariel, Mulan, Pocahontas — all of these characters have been familiar to us since childhood. We are so used to seeing them in a certain way, we don’t even notice the inaccuracies in their image. For example, Belle should’ve worn a giant powdered wig and Jasmine should be walking the streets with her head covered.
Modern women can do anything they want. They have successful careers and good families, they take care of themselves and their relatives, and they achieve a lot in their chosen professions (that used to be “only for men”). But deep down, girls will always be girls when it comes to the way they see the world. It doesn’t matter how old you are, if you’ve always wanted to meet Snow White. And you can be a police officer and still love beautiful things.
Animators just love sneaking in little Easter eggs for fans to catch in their shows and movies. Disney has been doing this for years... a lot of their films like to hide pictures of Mickey Mouse ears, also known as “Hidden Mickeys,” and it’s been a staple of their films since Snow White!
It’s true, some princesses were teenagers when their movies came out, but we’ve been wondering how these girls would look today at the same young age. Aurora would’ve traded in her color-changing ball gown for a miniskirt, Snow White would’ve ditched the apple for a smartphone, and Jasmine would’ve been seen rolling in on a skateboard instead of a magic carpet. Want to see what we’re talking about?
Some people believe in the theory that Disney has created a huge universe in which all of the stories they tell us take place. This means that all of the stories and characters can be somehow connected, and fans love to look for them, giving a great meaning to all of the Easter eggs. A lot of theories have been discussed, and some of them are so mind-blowing and convincing that you start to think that everything is not really that easy in the Disney universe.
Cartoons and comics have lived in our hearts since childhood. Back in the day, or maybe even now, we wanted to live like our favorite cartoon heroes by living in their houses, going to their schools or helping them to do their work. After many years, we’ve gotten a chance to actually put ourselves in this fictional world! Snow White’s cottage with its “melting” roof, the life-size SpongeBob pineapple house, and a cozy, eco-friendly hobbit’s hole... all of these houses came to life to make our dreams come true.
Have you ever wondered how many Disney characters there are? One internet user went through a list and counted as many as 176 of them. The list has probably grown longer by now, but the question is — how well would they would perform in our modern world. Andhika Muksin decided to express his vision on Instagram and photoshopped Disney characters right on to planet Earth in 2018.
Cosplay is the art of transforming into different characters. In order to really understand that cosplay is art, you should take a look at the gorgeous girls in this compilation. They are all very different but there is one thing that unites them — their undeniable talent.
In the past, cosplay was considered to be a funny thing that teenagers would do, but today, it has turned into a real art. Every year, thousands of fans come to different festivals like Comic-Con to show off their costumes. In this article, you will see the brightest and the most memorable examples of such costumes and shows. During these cosplay festivals, all kinds of funny things happen! Like the time when Justin Timberlake came to Comic-Con dressed as a character from Sesame Street and nobody even recognized him.
The lineup of Disney princesses currently includes 12 characters who are royal by birth, by marriage, or considered a “princess” due to their heroism. Some of those beloved characters have their origin in legends, fairy tales, or even real life, which is often more exciting or darker than what we see in the movies.
The Walt Disney Company gave the world many female characters, and princesses were the most popular among them. The first Disney princess was Snow White, and this animated movie was released 81 years ago in 1937. Isabelle Staub, a painter from Pennsylvania, has redrawn her favorite characters, and now it feels almost as if these movies have just been released. Not only do they look up-to-date, they also please the eye with their bright colors and strict lines. We at Bright Side liked this colorful art, and we can't wait to show it to you.
