All the prince has to do was fight a dragon. She had to put up with 7 people. My hat goes off to her. :P </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine/page/2#post-267 Thu, 10 Dec 2009 09:43:52 +0000 ritaannebrock 267@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>My favorite heroine is.......Mary Poppins. I like her because she brings consistent discipline and love to two children who need it the most. She also teaches the parent to stop worrying about worldly things and enjoy the time he has with his family! She is the best super nanny! </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine/page/2#post-266 Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:58:25 +0000 StLinus 266@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>The best Disney heroine? Without a doubt, the honor must go to Mrs. Jumbo, Dumbo's mother.</p> <p>The mother is imprisoned, and her baby elephant goes to the wagon where she is being held. A short whistle, and the mother, who at first has quite possibly the saddest look drawn on any Disney character ever, lights up and runs to the window where she can see her baby's truck. But no, the master Walt doesn't allow her to get far; a heavy chain prevents her from seeing her baby. So she bravely reaches through the window, and gently caresses and eventually sways her baby to the heartbreaking tune of "Baby Mine". Just watch the myriad of emotions on Dumbo's face. It's animation, and emotion, at its best.</p> <p>As a seven year old, watching a re-release of Dumbo at the drive in theater in Minnesota, I remember fighting back tears. As forty three year old man, it still happens. </p> <p>A heroine is someone who is brave in the face of adversity, ultimately giving her herself in dire times. Mrs. Jumbo takes the honor. </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-265 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:40:46 +0000 Gurgi85 265@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>Pocahontas. Everything about her takes my breath away and I want to be friends. I love her connection to the earth, intuitiveness to the world around her, longing for deeper spirituat understanding, and constantly questioning herself to be a better person while strong in her confiction of justice. And I like how she goes barefoot (though Briar Rose does too).</p> <p>I'd also like to give a shout out to Princess Eilonwy- because I think she was the first really independent princess... and because I'm sure no one else will mention her. Poor forgotten princess. </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-264 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:05:25 +0000 RichKoster 264@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>Princess Tiana is my favorite because she's in New Orleans, like me, and shares my love of the city along with its food, music, culture, and people. I like how her character strives to make it with her own restaurant, despite many setbacks, and never gives up until she reaches her goal and lives her dream. She reminds me of famous New Orleans restauranteur Lea Chase, who also found that dreams do come true down in New Orleans! </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-263 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:33:41 +0000 Anonymous 263@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>My favorite is Miss Eglantine Price, from Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Self-sufficient scholar, a little dotty, but more than capable of taking care of everyone (and kicking some German tail while doing so!) </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-262 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 19:33:49 +0000 Anonymous 262@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>My favorite Disney Heroine is Mary Poppins! She is a good role model for the kids. She doesn't put up with nonsense, but she can still have fun! She is strict and demands respect, but she still allows the kids to be kids! She's "practically perfect in every way!". </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-261 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 15:48:03 +0000 kevlightyear 261@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>My favorite disney heroine? Belle is a good choice, as is Meg--I like them both. Esmerelda is one of my favorites, though, because of her strong will and loving spirit. </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-260 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:22:43 +0000 p2smom 260@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>My favorite Disney heroine is Meg from Hercules. I love how tough she pretends to be and she loves Hercules but won't say it out loud. </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-259 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 13:57:09 +0000 oogieboogie 259@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>My favorite Disney Heroine has to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast for several reasons. First, she’s smart and a reader (bonus points). Second, she’s brave (She walks off into a forest and into a spooky castle to find and help a loved one). Third, she’s not afraid to speak her mind (just look how she talks to Gaston and how she scolds Beast after he saves her from the wolves). Forth, she’s able to look past the physical and see a persons true self. </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-256 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 13:41:15 +0000 Anonymous 256@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>Maybe because she's from my favorite movie growing up or maybe its because of memories of my grandma frequently imitating Eva Gabor but I'd have to say Miss Bianca from the Rescuers. I guess it has to do with her strength, caring and determination and the fact that in my own life I was much like Bernard. </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-255 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 13:03:33 +0000 Matt C 255@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>I'm aslo going to have to go with Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She is independent, strong, bright and capable. She is not one to be pushed around and is capable of doing things on her own. She isn't waiting for her prince to come rescue her, for her fairy god mother to deliver her making foolish bargins, ect. She is her own strong, independent person.</p> <p>Plus, I really enjoyed watching 'her' at Epcot once chase down and convince a hestitant young man to pose with her and his younger sister. Of all the princesses I've encountered at Disney, Belle's mannerisms and how she interact with people just seem the most, for lack of a better term, real and what I would want my little girl to look to. That is why there is already a Belle doll waiting to go under our Christmas tree. </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-254 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 13:00:05 +0000 tddalton 254@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>My favorite Disney heroine is Mulan. She's responsible, resourceful, and knows how to fight for her family and her country. Mulan is the one "girly" movie that my boys will watch over and over with me without a fight. </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-253 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:11:36 +0000 Anonymous 253@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>My favorite heroine is Aurora, Sleeping Beauty, Briar Rose. You got to love a woman that has three names. Actually I enjoy her mostly becuase this is my favorite Disney film. I think I have three versions of the VHS tape, 2 DVDs, and now a Blu-ray. </p> http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/topic/your-favorite-disney-heroine#post-252 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:25:01 +0000 Anonymous 252@http://thedisneyblog.com/townsquare/ <p>I would have to say that my favorite Disney heroine is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She's very down to Earth, enjoys the simple things in life (reading, nature) and goes through (and puts up with) so much with Beast because she sees the good in him. </p>
