Hello there! I'm ApplesauceDoctr here today with my third DP Song Analysis article. I've forgotten how much I enjoy writing these, and since I re-watched Brave a few days ago, I thought I'd analyze one of its most notable songs -- "Into the Open Air".

Before we begin, thought I'd mention this -- the chorus occurs twice in the real song (the one آپ can purchase from the soundtrack), but only occurs once in the actual movie. The lyrics for the two are quite different, but because we only hear one version in the movie, I'll only discuss that one we hear. :D



This love, it is a distant star
Guiding us ہوم wherever we are
This love, it is a burning sun
Shining light on the things that we've done



Important Note: This song uses the terms "we" and "us" very often, referring to both Merida and Elinor. (There are some instances where "I" is used, but مزید on that later.)
The first line about the "distant star" is...a little vague. And arguably, the part about the "burning sun" is as well. But the use of these terms makes sense سے طرف کی comparing it to their love -- یا rather, سے طرف کی comparing their love to them. Merida's love for her mother and Elinor's love for her daughter are definitely there, though there has been some strain what with the events leading up to this song -- namely, the whole "wedding" deal and of course the transformation.
As I said, the first line especially is vague, but here's my interpretation: سے طرف کی comparing their love to a "distant star", they are saying that it is a way for them to connect, so to speak. It is something that they can come back to, that they can always look up to for hope, much like how Disney's "When آپ Wish Upon a Star" suggests. For example, when آپ find yourself in a difficult situation, آپ might look up to your loved ones for advice and support. I think that's what this comparison is getting at; even if the two feel hopeless, they can always go to each other for support (especially Merida to Elinor), much like how one may look up to a star.
The اگلے line I think is much مزید straightforward. Their love being a "burning sun / Shedding light on the things that [they've] done" is simply a way of saying that they're looking back on some of their past actions and behaviors.
But there's one مزید important detail -- it's not simply "their love". It is "this love", the love that they feel for each other now. Heck, maybe even مزید than just that! "This love" seems to refer to not only their love for each other, but also their understanding of each other. If it is indeed their understanding, then "this love" could be a "distant star" in that it has brought them together in a way that's never been done before, and a "burning sun" because their new understanding has helped them to understand themselves as well, and how they may feel now about their past actions.

FINALLY! Let's اقدام on.


I try to speak to آپ everyday
But each word we spoke,
the wind blew away



This is one of the instances in the song where the terms "you" and "I" are used. That's actually really clever -- you're supposed to interpret it as both Merida speaking to Elinor and Elinor speaking to Merida. In other words, they share that single voice.
So, what does it mean? It's pretty straightforward -- the two both try to talk to each other, but it's as if their words never land. This refers to the problem mentioned earlier about how they both feel that the other doesn't listen.
But isn't it interesting that it switches back to "we" in the سیکنڈ line? It doesn't sound like Merida blames Elinor for the not-listening thing, and vise versa. Think about it: "I try to speak to آپ everyday, but each word we spoke, the wind blew away." The blame seems to lie on a figurative "wind", not each other. The سوال is, what is this wind?

Perhaps I'm reading too much into things, but I thought about what that "wind" is supposed to be referring to for at least 20 minutes. I think I have it now, though this explanation may be confusing -- at this point in the movie, the "wind" is just the wind. سے طرف کی now, they've come to realize that it isn't the other's fault for the lack of listening and understanding. That is a big milestone. But like I said, that's at this point in the movie. Remember how before I was saying that "This love" is exclusive to how they feel about and understand each other now? Same thing here. Over the course of the rest of the movie, they realize that perhaps the blame lies on themselves. Thus, the "wind" is no longer just some figurative wind -- it is themselves. Merida was the reason she didn't understand Elinor, and Elinor is the reason she didn't understand Merida. It's like this:

At This Point in the Movie: "I realize now that it isn't your fault that we didn't understand each other."
By the End of the Movie: "Now I realize that I might be the reason we didn't understand each other."

Thus, the meaning of that particular lyric changes later on. At least, that's how I see it, and that puts a whole new light on the meaning behind their dialogue towards the end of the movie:

Merida: "You changed."
Elinor: "Oh, darling -- we both have."

We haven't even reached the chorus yet and this analysis is already long. xD




How did we let it come to this?
What we just tasted we somehow still miss



Thankfully, the first line is easy to explain; they سوال how their relationship reached this current stage. A lot of things added up for it to be what it is now.
The سیکنڈ line can be both figurative and literal. First, the literal: At this point in the song, Elinor is trying to catch مچھلی on her own. She has recently tasted fish, but keeps missing them (can't catch them). She gets better from this point on, though. :D But is there a deeper meaning behind this line? Probably. This is another one that's tricky to interpret, but I think the figurative meaning is this: They've recently gotten a "taste" of what the other is like (they're growing مزید familiar with each other), yet they're still "miss[ing]" something (they don't fully understand each other yet). They understand each other better than they did before, but they still have a ways to go.




How will it feel when this دن is done
And can we keep what we've only begun?



This backs up my claim above -- they're starting to understand and value each other, but know there is still room to grow. They سوال that here. What will happen after this adventure is over? Will things go back to the way they were, یا will they be able to continue strengthening their bond?

Finally, we reach the chorus! Like I said, there are two variations, but we only hear one of these in the movie, which آپ can see below:


Could these walls come crumbling down?
I want to feel my feet on the ground
Can we carry this love that we share
Into the open air (x3)
This love, it is a burning sun


That first line of the chorus speaks of "walls" which likely represents the barrier between their relationship. The سیکنڈ line backs that up.

Literal Meaning: The walls that prevented someone from exploring the outside world "[crumble] down", so now they can "feel [their] feet on the ground".
Figurative Meaning: The barrier between Merida and Elinor is broken, and now they can strengthen their relationship and get to know each other better.

"Can we carry this love that we share / Into the open air?" is rather touching. However, it's just reiterating the lines above it. The lyric "Into the open air" is sung two مزید times, perhaps to emphasize the freedom they would feel if indeed that barrier was broken. Earlier in the movie, we clearly see that the two are...well, for lack of a better word, stressed because the other doesn't listen. If they did listen, they would be free of so much stress (again, not sure if that's the proper word to use here, but it's all I can think of).
Then the line about the "burning sun" is repeated, which as I stated earlier was supposed to mean that they were reflecting on their past actions. Maybe they're emphasizing that these two characters will continue to do so for the remainder of the film -- reflect on their past and use that as a guide for how to lead their futures.

WOW, that was a big analysis! And you're still reading? Congratulations, and many thanks for reading! Let me know what your thoughts on this song and analysis are, and feel free to share any other interpretations آپ may have. :)

Bonjour! In my last مضمون I defended both Cinderella and Snow White. Now I'm going to defend Aurora and Ariel.

Aurora -

Most people either have a love یا hate relationship with Aurora. I love her, but she's not my favourite. Everyone complains that she has an underdeveloped personality and she does nothing, but most of all, people are frustrated about the fact that her eyes change colour.
In contrast, I don't believe she has an underdeveloped personality at all. Out of all the Disney Princesses, she has the least screen-time, (I think it was eighteen منٹ یا something) and I think Disney...

ارے guys! Team جیسمین, یاسمین is BACK! Last time we did an مضمون about ourselves and why we love Princess Jasmine. But this time, we are ready to share our opinions of ALL the Disney Princesses, including the new ones, Anna and Elsa.

In the article, we combined each team member's opinions on each DP and wrote our مجموعی طور پر opinion.

Elsa, is my پسندیدہ DP currently and I thought of دکھانا my opinions about her.

We first meet Elsa when she is sleeping and Anna wakes her because "the sky is awake" and they have to play.
She first hesitates and tells her to play سے طرف کی herself but when her sister asks her to build a snowman she can't resist.
This part shows Elsa's personality before being isolated. We can see that she is the elder sister and tends to act مزید mature and calm, but she enjoys being with her sister and shows her playful side.
And we can also see that she isn't afraid of her powers and likes to use them.
 "Shshshsh!!! Anna, can't آپ stay calm for a minute?"
"Shshshsh!!!...

A سروے was recently made about who was the most selfish DP, and I was shocked and annoyed at what people were saying about Elsa (and Merida... But I guess I may have to make that مضمون later) being selfish.

I know this point is already being debated on the poll, so some may find it a bit repetitive to read this, but I wanted to make a really detailed examination about Elsa and her 'selfishness'.

One argument I read was: "in the beginning part when she forbids Anna to marry him, it's just because she doesn't want to see Anna have fun with others while she is alone in her own sadness...."....

If most of آپ like me have grown up with The Little Mermaid and have followed the فلمیں and TV shows, I think آپ realize when it comes to the story of the rebellious redhead from under the sea, it's not completely there.

Now I didn't see The Little Mermaid in theaters, but a lot of آپ did. It after all was the highest grossing animated film at that time. And of course, آپ all loved it. So when آپ found out that Disney was making an animated series about the movie, آپ of course were very excited. I myself grew up watching the series on VHS's and one of the VHS's I owned was "In Harmony."...

Elsa's name (a variant of Elizabeth) is Germanic for "noble".
Elsa is 21 years old سے طرف کی the time of her coronation, according to Jennifer Lee, the Junior Novelization, and the age difference from Anna.
When Elsa joins the Disney Princess line-up, she'll not only replace Cinderella as the oldest Disney Princess, but she'll be the only Disney Princess to not be a teenager.
Elsa is the first Disney Princess who is the deuteragonist to have a solo of her own. جیسمین, یاسمین does not count since her solo was removed from her feature film.
Despite the fact Elsa controls ice and snow, which are both...

Lately my obsession for Pocahontas is growing, and although I've already made a "Why I Love" مضمون for her, I just really wanted to write something else for her. The مضمون will be a scene-by-scene review, so I'll start from the beginning and talk about every scene she's in till the end, so this مضمون might get pretty lengthy. Anyways, I hope آپ enjoy :)

We first see Pocahontas up on a cliff thinking. I love how Pocahontas thinks things through and isn't at all impulsive. We then see her dive off the cliff, as opposed to going down the safer way. This shows Pocahontas's adventurous side...
