Snow White


■In The Muppets at Walt ডিজনি World, Snow White was the ডিজনি character who had the biggest part in the story, besides Mickey Mouse.

■In 1988, Snow White was awarded a তারকা on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

■Snow White is the first ডিজনি Princess, being the main character of Disney's first animated feature film.

■Snow White is one of the five ডিজনি Princesses to be of royal blood.

■Snow White makes a cameo appearance in আলাদীন and the King of Thieves when Genie turns জুঁই into Snow White.

■To achieve a natural skin tone for Snow White, real rouge and other make-up was applied onto the cel.

■The development designs for Snow White ranged from cartoony to আরো realistic, while the final রঙ of the dress had before gone through several changes before settling with its current blue and স্বর্ণ appearance.

■She is the first ডিজনি Princess to communicate with wildlife who can understand humans.

■Snow White is most likely the youngest Princess, being 14 years old. This contrasts with the fact that she is the first ডিজনি Princess.


Cinderella
সিন্ড্রেলা
Cinderella


■Cinderella is the first ডিজনি Princess to be seen as a little girl, before Tiana in 2009 and Rapunzel in 2010.

■Cinderella is the সেকেন্ড ডিজনি Princess after Snow White in 1937.

■Cinderella's hair color has often been the subject of বিতর্ক among fans. In the original film, Cinderella's hair seems to be of a light কমলা tone, classifying her as either a redhead অথবা a ginger as her hair had been offically called 'burnt orange'. In the franchise and in the ডিজনি parks, Cinderella's hair is publicized as bright yellow, making her a golden-blonde, although her hair remained orange-ish in the original film and the সেকেন্ড sequel. The most common consensus is that she is a strawberry-blonde, which is blonde hair bearing a reddish tint.
    
■Her birthday is June 30th

■Cinderella is a Cancer

■Similar to Snow White, সিন্ড্রেলা is forced to be raised without a father for the majority of her life. Instead, she is placed in the hands of a cruel and jealous stepmother. Another similarity is that the two are forced to be household servants in an attempt to hide their outer beauty.

■Cinderella is the first out of the four ডিজনি Princesses to not be of royal blood, paving the way for Belle in 1991, মুলান in 1998 and Tiana in 2009.

■Her shoe size is mentioned in the third movie which is a size 4 1/2 in woman's.

■The symbolic message of the glass slippers is that সিন্ড্রেলা is so delicate that she can walk in glass shoes and not break them. It is also symbolic how she can be comfortable in glass shoes, meaning to she can easily adapt to typically "uncomfortable" situations.

■Cinderella is considered the "leader" of the ডিজনি Princesses, often being positioned in the center of publicity photos. This has been subject to some controversy, however, because she is the সেকেন্ড ডিজনি Princess, after Snow White. Some feel that Snow White deserves to be the leader, because she is the main protagonist of Disney's first film, and was introduced to the world 13 years before Cinderella.

■Cinderella is the most জনপ্রিয় ডিজনি Princess among children.

■Cinderella is derived from the French word Cendrillon, which translates in English as "little ash girl".

■The only mention of Cinderella's mother was in the first movie when she showed the mice a dress that belonged to her that she was planning to fix up for the ball.

■Unlike how Cinderella's iconic Ballgown is featured in the original feature film, there are few differences in its depiction in the ডিজনি parks and ice shows. The first being is that a bow is part of the gown, the সেকেন্ড is that the hair is blonde and not burnt orange, and third being is that silver slippers are worn in the parks, instead of transparent plastic type slippers to pass for 'glass' slippers.

-In the movie, সিন্ড্রেলা wears a whitish-silver dress to the ball. However, in most merchandise, this is changed to a bright blue dress.


Aurora
 Aurora
Aurora


-Princess Aurora is the third ডিজনি Princess, after Snow White in 1937 and সিন্ড্রেলা in 1950.

-Princess Aurora is the সেকেন্ড ডিজনি Princess to be saved দ্বারা "true love's kiss", after Snow White in 1937.

-Princess Aurora is the first ডিজনি Princess to have both parents present during her film.

-Princess Aurora is one of the five ডিজনি Princesses to be royal দ্বারা birth, সেকেন্ড after Snow White.

-Princess Aurora's dress is constantly changed from blue to পরাকাষ্ঠা and back again as a running gag during her film. The constant color change is due to Flora and Merryweather's disagreement on what the color should be. Although it is most commonly seen as পরাকাষ্ঠা in publicity photos, it hasn't yet been made official whether her dress is blue অথবা pink. It is likely that she owns dresses of both colors.

-Although never confirmed, there was belief that Aurora's frequently changing dress রঙ may signify what child she may have. Blue is a color that often denotes a baby boy while পরাকাষ্ঠা is used for girls.

-Aurora is the first ডিজনি Princess to be initially unaware of her identity as a princess, the সেকেন্ড being Rapunzel.

-Aurora is the only true blonde ডিজনি princess, with the exception of Rapunzel who is only blonde haired due to magic, but is actually a brunette.

-Aurora is the first ডিজনি Princess to go around barefoot (when she was Briar Rose). The পরবর্তি being Pocahontas and Rapunzel.

-Ariel is the only ডিজনি Princess to have a child of her own.

-Ariel is the সেকেন্ড youngest princess (being sixteen years old) while Snow White is the youngest.

-Unlike her sisters, as a mermaid Ariel doesn't wear hair accessories.

-Although all of Ariel's sister's names begin with the letter "A", Ariel is the only one to be of Roman instead of Greek origin, and the only one to not end with the letter "a" and an "uh" syllable, as in Aquat"a", Andrin"a", Arist"a", Attin"a", Adell"a" and Alan"a". Instead, Ariel ends with a distinct "e" letter and "elle" syllable. This could have been in an attempt to draw আরো attention to Ariel and emphasize how original she is.

-In Hebrew terms, Ariel translates to English as "lion of God".

-Although Ariel and Athena bare a striking resemblance, her personality is আরো similar to that of her father, King Triton's. This is especially noticeable in The Little Mermaid II, when Ariel reprimands her daughter Melody for disobeying orders and venturing out into the sea, the same way Ariel disobeyed her father's rules in the first film.

-Ariel's daughter Melody shares almost all of Ariel's personality traits from the first film. However, Ariel dreamt of becoming human and living on land while Melody's dream was to swim beneath the waves.

-Ariel is the first (and currently the only) ডিজনি Princess to have red hair.

-Belle arguably saw the dawn of আরো heroic and independent ডিজনি Princesses. Her legacy led to Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana and Rapunzel. However, some say this শিরোনাম rightfully belongs to Ariel

-Belle is French for "beautiful".

-Belle is the first and only ডিজনি Princess to not sing the film's theme song, "Beauty and the Beast". Instead, it is sung দ্বারা the supporting character, Mrs. Potts.

We all adore Rapunzel because she is fun, resourceful and talented, plus cute. Today I am sharing some fun facts about her Rapunzel and her movie, " Tangled".

FACTS
1- The movie "Tangled" was Disney's 50'th animated feature film. Rapunzel is also the first digital animated feature princess.

 " I am the prettiest!" হাঃ হাঃ হাঃ
" I am the prettiest!" LOL
I was thinking about this a long time ago. The beauty of a princess varies for everyone, but in their own movies, princesses are described as "the most beautiful". There is no beauty problem in every princess, especially those who have প্রণয় at first sight, and they live a comfortable প্রণয় life thanks to this beauty. Outward appearances play a big part in the princesses' happy ending. But what if they weren't pretty? How would their lives change? Now we're going to look at that.

Cinderella would never have had a happy ending without her beauty. Because the prince at the ball saw her...

This idea just kinda popped into my head. Basically as the শিরোনাম suggests, we take a scenario from a DP movie and analyze how the other princesses would behave অথবা react in that situation. Today, our scenario is...

Entering the West Wing
Belle is considered দ্বারা many to be one of the "good girls" of the DP lineup but she does have a bit of mischievous side and that shines through when her curiosity gets the better of her and she disobeys the Beast's direct orders to stay out of the castle's west wing.

Snow White-She'd gladly follow the Beast's rules and she wouldn't really প্রশ্ন them either. While...

What makes for a remarkable ডিজনি Princess dress, the princess herself, of course, and while the ডিজনি Princesses are renowned for their exemplary qualities that showcase the most empyreal aspects of the human spirit, it is the artful assemblage of accessories and garments which assist in emanating those qualities that make for the noblest of ensembles. This is what I believe are the most beautiful ডিজনি Princess dresses. Which ones are yours?

Tangled: The Series, now called Rapunzel's ট্যাঙ্গেল্ড Adventure, premiered in March 2017 with the pilot movie, Tangled: Before Ever After (hopefully that sentence wasn't too confusing!). The film sees Rapunzel adjusting to life in Corona and introduces several concepts that the rest of the series will explore: Rapunzel's golden hair growing back, the growth of magical spiky rocks that can devastate Corona, foes with a thirst for revenge, Rapunzel and Eugene's marriage, and Rapunzel learning how to become a good queen.

At first, I was surprised that Tangled was getting a TV show. Even though I quite...

After I watched the first 7 seasons of My Little টাট্টু Friendship is Magic I started listening to the songs on repeat whenever I felt like it and there are songs from that প্রদর্শনী that had me thinking of some of the princesses and some of the characters in the movies. Here's a তালিকা of the songs, which characters the songs reminded me of, and why.



Song: রামধনু from My Little টাট্টু the Movie
Character: All the princesses


This song is actually mostly for a character in the movie who was a villain but then reformed which isn't what happened to any of the princesses (except maybe Elsa, though...

I am decided to sort DPs to Hogwarts Houses. I'll illustrate this প্রবন্ধ with pictures where each DP best exhibits the traits of house she belongs( Gryffindors do something risky, Hufflepuffs are doing something useful অথবা exhibit frinedliness, Ravenclaws read অথবা explore something, Slytherins are tricking someone অথবা dream about something). Warning: I have some unpopular opinions but I'll try to explain them. This is how I interpretent Hogwarts Houses and their values:
Gryffindors are first of all are brave, courageous, outspoken and risky. They are also often progressive, rebellious, mischievous,...
