I want to make it clear- I प्यार THE MOVIE ALADDIN, I प्यार every character in it- except Aladdin. And finally, i'll tell आप why.
I didn't really organize this well because I couldn't figure this out.

Main issues- Aladdin's sexist/classicism assumptions, and Jasmine's hypocrisy

Scenario: अलादीन sees चमेली in the marketplace, falls for her, brings her back to his poor-boy hut, and together they have a दिल to दिल about how they feel trapped द्वारा their situations. Although चमेली doesn't explicitly state that she is a princess, she does hint that it's not an enjoyable life. "Oh sure, people who tell आप where to go, and how to dress..."
She discusses how she's getting forced to get married and how awful it is. They have a cute moment and nearly kiss, when they're broken up. Princess-in-disguise चमेली is about to किस सड़क, स्ट्रीट चूहा Aladdin.

Cut to अलादीन dressed up as a Prince approaching the town. चमेली is shown to be totally unimpressed द्वारा the big parade, rolling her eyes and scoffing at its grandiosity. अलादीन grins his cocky-boy grin and enters the castle, charming the Sultan immediately. After referring to चमेली as a prize to be won, चमेली overhears and angrily scorns them for treating her as such.

Cut to अलादीन talking to the genie. The genie suggests अलादीन BE HIMSELF. Aladdin's response?
"If चमेली found out I was some crummy सड़क, स्ट्रीट rat, she'd laugh at me."



WHAT.
1. आप met चमेली in the marketplace and SHE ALMOST KISSED आप WHEN SHE KNEW आप WERE A सड़क, स्ट्रीट RAT, आप MORON. This means अलादीन is just automatically assuming that because चमेली is a princess, because of her royalty, she must be shallow and only want the finest of men. This is a shallow assumption for अलादीन to make, and shows he didn't listen to a word चमेली कहा while they were talking at his hut. Even though he knew her when he thought she was also poor, finding out she was a princess illogically and immediately changed his view on her.

2. If what he assumes is true, that चमेली IS shallow and only wants rich, handsome men, why would Aladdin, the boy who wants to prove that there's so much और to him, degrade himself and act as an impostor just to win a girl he assumes has shallow morals? My only assumption is that because as he previously repeats in the movie, he thinks being rich will solve all his problems. I won't fault him for that, growing up poor all his life must really take his toll, but does he need to bring someone else down with him?


Cut to अलादीन on the balcony with Jasmine. अलादीन tries to act as smooth, confident अलादीन who चमेली doesn't care for- but wait! Does चमेली recognize him as the सड़क, स्ट्रीट चूहा from the marketplace?
अलादीन agrees with चमेली when she says she is rich, the daughter of the sultan (not that he can dispute), and a 'fine prize for any prince to marry'. AGREES. And gives her the ol' up-down with his eyes. She spurns him once again for being SO materialistic and tells him to jump off a balcony, how DARE he be so shallow, like any other stuffed-shirt swaggering peacock she's met!


...Until, of course, अलादीन whips out his magic carpet (no metaphor intended) and चमेली instantly turns into the materialistic, shallow person that she's been insulting others for being this whole film.
"A liar who agrees that I am only a rich, hot prize to be won? GO JUMP OFF A BALCONY! Oh, आप have a magic carpet? Never mind, let me hop on that!"
Jasmine, after discovering this guy not only is lying to her, अभिनय totally cocky and shallow, but also is trying to win her over with material items (as she was so unimpressed with a giant parade with many other, और impressive magical items) rightfully and admirably spurns him, until he literally scrapes the bottom of the barrel and doesn't even try to win her over with words या apology, just pulls out his flying machine and wow, she is charmed. AND at this point she should realize, if she suspects that he is the boy from the marketplace, that he is अभिनय EXACTLY the opposite of what she wants, even as she EXPRESSED to him, which should lead her to the conclusion that not only is she shallow but he was feigning interest/didn't care.

I won't dive too much into the 'A Whole New World' scene but I will say that there, अलादीन is being totally possessive and controlling of Jasmine.


During their scene in China, चमेली finally tricks अलादीन into revealing that he isn't who he's pretending to be- and he lies again. APPARENTLY HE STILL HASN'T REMEMBERED या PICKED UP ON THE FACT THAT SHE REALLY LOVED THE BOY FROM THE MARKETPLACE, EVEN THOUGH SHE ACTS TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WHEN HE LIES AND SAYS THAT IT WASN'T HIM. ("I even send servants to go to the marketplace for my servants! It couldn't have been me आप met"...Jasmine: *sighs sadly* "No, I guess not.") अलादीन is clearly so self-absorbed he can't even pick up on what चमेली wants. He just assumes and takes over.


Finally, let's cut to Prince Ali (Reprise).
चमेली finally discovers अलादीन has been lying the whole time (revealed द्वारा Jafar, although that scene confuses me; अलादीन already lied and कहा he dressed up as a सड़क, स्ट्रीट चूहा to escape palace life, so how would दिखा रहा है him in सड़क, स्ट्रीट चूहा clothes reveal anything? Wouldn't चमेली just see the clothes as his disguise clothes? but I digress.. ) So now (somehow) she REALLY knows that he really is poor, and that he's been nonstop lying to her this whole time, as well as totally ignoring her देखा गया and wants like everyone else, and to चोटी, शीर्ष it all off, he already KNEW what she wanted (freedom and someone to understand her and not assume things about her), and should understand perfectly as that's what अलादीन wants to. But he is the worst, as he does understand but acts the opposite, because of totally shallow views.
When अलादीन returns to rescue them all, there's no conflict with चमेली being upset at him, yelling at him for lying so many times, या most preferably, getting fed up at him being so shallow, a liar, and basically treating her like crap. Instead, she just immediately welcomes him back and it's like nothing happened. There's no inner conflict, no attitude, she's just excited to see him and it's as if this girl who supposedly is supposed to not be pray to horrible men just keeps falling for his lies, या willing herself to believe them, regardless of the implications या non-logic. She's turned into a weaker girl than any of the princesses at that point. What? आप lose major, MAJOR points for me there, Jas.


On चोटी, शीर्ष of all this, अलादीन treats his फ्रेंड्स like crap. He takes total advantage of Abu (who can be a pain but that's no reason to be rude), AND especially Genie, who shows nothing but kindness to Aladdin, and to who अलादीन keeps abusing and taking advantage of. Whenever anyone, especially the Genie, tries to offer him advice, he yells/snaps at them ("Buzz off!") and acts incredibly self-absorbed.


अलादीन is also so down on himself , the whole thing about him not being worthy of anyone
but then sings "There's so much और to me" and says "I'm not worthless!". Its like he's both trying to prove himself, but he's self-pitying when it's convenient for him. He always wants to be the victim.


I wouldn't be so bothered द्वारा all of this if अलादीन had changed in the end, but he didn't. He's still the same Aladdin. He never apologizes for his actions, except fleetingly, and to Abu, ("I'm sorry Abu, this is all my fault, I've gotta go back and set things straight.") when he should be apologizing to Genie & Jasmine. His transformation is condensed to one sentence- "I gotta stop trying to be something I'm not." आप never see any REAL transformation. And in the sequels & the TV shows he continues to boss Genie around and lie and lie again and again and again, apologizes everytime, and goes back to lying again. The cycle is this:

Aladdin: *lies*
Jasmine: *gets upset*
Aladdin: *depressed and says sorry*
Jasmine: *forgives him*

And the cycle repeats. Over and over. I'm neutral towards/ dislike अलादीन in the first movie, but in the sequels I honestly hate him. I won't get into discussing how he's so much worse in the sequels, but let's just say 'Out of Thin Air' has to be one of the most condescending and disrespectful things Aladdin's ever said/sang, although I like the song.

I can't forgive अलादीन for all the things I named. Assumptions, being shallow, rude to his friends, but most of all- NEVER LEARNING HIS GODDAMN LESSON.
And चमेली can't be in my चोटी, शीर्ष 3. I love her attitude, probably the thing she gets criticized most for and is actually the best part about her, but her actions I find hypocritical and weak.

And that's why I don't like Aladdin.

Originally, this लेख was supposed to be a full countdown. However I couldn't decide any of the placings. Instead, I give आप a चोटी, शीर्ष three smartest princesses article.

Side note: When I mean smart, I'm talking about how much knowledge they have and how logical their thinking is.

3. Elsa

I guess this might surprise people, but it seems perfectly logical to me. Elsa has a lot of knowledge (as revealed in "A Sister और Like Me"). She spent hours a दिन studying while she was inside her bedroom. Also, she's 21. That means she must have at least a विश्वविद्यालय level understanding of pretty much all...

OK, so in my last article, I gave my reasons as to why I don't think Gothel is a full villain. In THIS article, I'm gonna give a सूची of possible backstories that may have influenced Gothel to be the way she is.

I'll start off with the one that's the most likely, but the one I don't wanna believe.

1. In her youth, Gothel was a very sweet child, but as she grew into a teenager, the trials and tribulations of teenage life took their toll on her. She लॉस्ट most of her innocence and became obsessed with things such as her looks, so much so, that it drove her to vanity, obsession with her looks. The...

I've seen many of these लेखाए on here, not many of them are that हाल का though. Hardly any include the CGI princesses या Tiana in extreme cases. Not offence intended
So I decided to do a slightly और up to तारीख, दिनांक countdown. Hope आप enjoy it! :)
IMPORTANT NOTE - This is an opinion article. if आप do not agree with any of my choices that's fine but there's no need to make harsh comments.

Due to the हाल का 'Merida Princess Makeover Scandal' I am only judging the girls on how they look in the movie, not in the merchandise.


20. Merida

 Super brave, not super beautiful...
Super brave, not super beautiful...


She may be brave,...

 Let's see who of these two that really is better
Let's see who of these two that really is better
I saw that KataraLover had written an लेख about Ariel and Merida and who of the two that was a better character, I decided to do the same, but with my two प्रिय princesses Snow White and Aurora, but also because they're imo the two most similar princesses, but anyway here we go

Similarities:
They have a lot of things in common, they both प्यार animals, they have the same dream, they're both considerd beautiful द्वारा people around them and they both had to be saved द्वारा their princes

Differences:
One of the biggest differences between them is that Aurora is pessimistic and Snow White is और optimistic,...

I decided to write this because there's always a moment where each of these princesses aren't happy so well here we go :)

The only rule I had was that the princess has to दिखाना any feeling except happiness for majority of the scene so not the whole scene that's too hard to find almost at least!

Snow White: The Forest Scene

This is in my opinion one of the scariest movie moments, maybe even the scariest, it scares me whenever I watch the scene. What makes me प्यार this scene so much is the animation, it's so well done that it scares me. This scene clearly shows that डिज़्नी has a dark side!...
