Megara

Caricature / Gerald Scarfe

Now granted, Megara is not an official Disney Princess but I figure she is a prime example of caricature in a Disney film and where that overpowering style took little regard for the time period in which the story takes place. If animators attempted to use the art of caricature in Aladdin the film Hercules took it to the fullest extent.

This time the studio turned to another caricature artist link, brought to prominence for his work designing the Pink Floyd album cover and their film The Wall. Having worked as an editorial artist for The Sunday Times and The New Yorker Gerald Scarfe was renowned for his often unflattering, sometimes even grotesque, depictions of notable political figures like Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher.

Scarfe was دیا so much artistic reign over the style of the film that he supposedly designed the basic look of each individual character, essentially laying the framework and then handing them over for the Disney artists to perfect and add physical personality. When the character of Megara was handed over to animator Ken Duncan he aimed to make Megara مزید like a caricature of sexy screwball comedienne link.



The film was only a moderate box-office success and the اندازی حرکت style considered سے طرف کی some to be severe and overpowering. This is a major reason Megara is featured in virtually no mainstream merchandise as her exaggerated body proportions drastically set her apart from every female Disney character yet created only to be rivaled سے طرف کی perhaps Cruella deVille. Despite this, the Disney Studio took a risk and made a commendable effort in pushing the envelope and blur the boundaries between modern art and animation.

Giselle

Art Nouveau / Alphonse Mucha

Regarding this مضمون series, Giselle is of great significance despite the fact she is not an official princess and has relatively little animated screen time. Most people are aware of all the references this film makes to Disney Princesses past but this only seems to shadow the fact of how unique Giselle actually is سے طرف کی design.

 Various forms of Art Nouveau
Various forms of Art Nouveau


The design of which I speak is that of link. It was link who was the accidental father of the Nouveau. Having moved to Paris he accepted a last منٹ commission to design a theatre poster for a local play. His innovative style was an immediate success amongst the Parisians and soon he was in the highest of مقبول demand. During the movement (1890-1905) Art Nouveau permeated from painting into sculpture, architecture, furniture, jewelry, calligraphy and even works of glass سے طرف کی the famous link.

 Alphonse Mucha
Alphonse Mucha


Giselle herself seems to be derived directly out of Alphonse Mucha's paintings. Her dress is identical to that worn in a poster advertising Moet & Chandon White Star, a brand of French Champagne painted in 1899. While obviously Giselle's facial features depended heavily on those of Amy Adams, the actress herself can be compared to the type of woman Alphonse Mucha seemed so keen on painting. Being primarily restricted to the female form, his subjects were often women of literature, goddesses یا the physical embodiments of art and virtues much in the same way Giselle embodies the essence of a Disney Princess.



I deeply regret that the style of Art Nouveau was مزید an afterthought in a primarily live-action film and not utilized in a full length animated feature. The style translated extremely well on not only the characters but also the world that surrounded them. From Giselle's cottage to the branches on the trees, Andalasia was a moving illustration of the fantasy world created سے طرف کی Alphonse Mucha. This was a true return to the original artistically romantic visions set forth سے طرف کی the great Walt Disney himself and the "Nine Old Men" - an effort the likes of which not seen in a Disney Princess film in nearly 40 years.

Tiana

Art Deco / Roger Broders

Being a return to the tradition of a 2D animated feature, The Princess and the Frog seemed to fall short of its artistic potential. It resembles The Little Mermaid مزید than anything in being primarily conventional اندازی حرکت but only for a brief musical number does it showcase a specific artform relavent to that time period.



Approximately from 1925 to the 1940's a new مقبول art movement had swept America known as link. Much of what people recognize from that time period; the flapper fashion, the cars, the new skyscrapers were products of the Art Deco style. While it really was an accumulation of a number of existing artforms such as link, link, link, link etc, it was the iconic style of the link. This isn't the first time a Disney Princess film featured Art Deco as Pocahontas could arguably be classified as Art Deco for bearing similarities to such works سے طرف کی link.

 Roger Broders
Roger Broders
During Tiana's musical number Almost There we are transported into her visionary restaurant as depicted in a poster card. This is significant for Art Deco was very common in that time period, used in advertising of all sorts. One artist who found much success making such posters was French painter link. Recognisable for his use of areas of flat color mixed with a grand perspective, Broders's often depicted elegant, elongated figures wearing all the latest fashions actively enjoying themselves at select tourist destinations.


سے طرف کی far the most appropriate for this particular film, I believe that the story and its environment could have been even مزید emmersed in the Art Deco style. However, as stated before Disney may actually made such an attempt in another film. Pocahontas appears to have numerous hints of Art Deco with its use of brilliant colors and angular lines and solid geometric shapes. Of course it has little relevance to the time period یا the subject matter which is why I'm reluctant to confidentally label it as such. Nonetheless, with its latest animated film release, the Disney Studio continues to honor the legacies of countless artists past. Standing upon their shoulders, Disney artist have created an arsenal of visually unique characters we come to recognize and love. One can only hope this tradition will continue for many years to come for our future generations to enjoy.

I'm not at all confident in this list, but either way I love talking about the princesses and thought this مضمون was long overdue (Well I've only been here..what? Two weeks? Eh, it still feels long overdue to me). ^^ Beforehand I'd like to say that I love all the princesses, even my least favorite. As a group the princesses mean so much to me and as individuals I love them all to pieces, so don't feel bad if your پسندیدہ is low! The فہرست is also divided into three sections because within those sections I'm really not sure how the princesses rate, but I know they're somewhere around that...

In the years I've been on Fanpop, I've noticed that Ariel is one of those characters that people either 'love' یا 'hate'. Honestly I'm the only person I know of who doesn't feel very strongly toward her either way. I guess I lean a tiny bit مزید toward the 'Ariel lovers' side because like her just fine, but I don't 'adore' her. But oh well no one is complete neutral. Anyway speaking from the perspective of semi-neutral party here is my opinion about Ariel's controversial behavior.

1. Is Ariel Stupid?
No, I don't think she's stupid. I think she made some reeeeeeeeally bad dissensions like going...

Well, I've already re-done my my first article, My پسندیدہ Disney Princesses, so I thought I would re-do my سیکنڈ one. I won't re-do all of my articles, but I wanted to re-do some of my earlier ones, because my opinions have changed and my writing style has improved throughout the مضامین I've written, it's not just because I'm running out of articles, and I promise that I'll have my اگلے soundtrack review up soon, (wow, this مضمون is old, I just came back to it and realized this was here. XD. I should get back to the soundtrack reviews though, so just keep reading that.) I'm still trying...

Hey, as آپ know my فہرست has changed A LOT, so I decided to make a new article. I just warn آپ that this فہرست is temporary and it can change, because, I'm planning to rewatch some فلمیں and because like I have کہا before, I'm very indecisive, I mean, really my lists change ALL THE TIME! Also, just to avoid misunderstandings, I want to say that when I mention a princess' beauty/ singing voice یا any other superficial thing like those, it doesn't mean that I judge based on these traits. I won't put a DP higher because she's beautiful, I just felt that since I'd talk about the princesses,...
