4 Last Princess Fact

hello today I will tell you about disney girl that I discussed today is the last 4 princess is merida, anna, elsa, and rapunzel. I hope you like it and enjoy it.check it out...

1) Merida

1. Brave’s filmmakers wanted to change the Cinderella Castle logo that shows at the beginning of every Disney movie into Castle DunBroch. They also considered adding a bagpipe to the Pixar logo!

2. Animators had to personally learn the choreography for the film’s fight scenes. They practiced with each other until they became experts in how people move during fights. (Thankfully, there are pictures.) 

3. During the film’s production, Director Mark Andrews and Producer Katherine Sarafian would prepare for big meetings by taking turns pretending to be each other’s audience. This became the inspiration for the epic scene where Fergus pretends to be Merida while Queen Elinor practices her lecture. 

4. Filmmakers decided to show Merida mucking Angus’ stall herself, rather than having a stable hand do it for her, because they wanted to challenge audiences’ expectations of what a “princess” should be. Merida definitely defies stereotypes, and we love her for it. 

5. MacGuffin’s seemingly incomprehensible muttering is actually an authentic Scottish dialect called Doric. The voice actor was given his lines in plain English, and called his mother before recording so she could help translate them into Doric. Brave proves over and over that moms are the best. 

6. Instead of an archery contest to win Merida’s hand, the script originally called for a haggis-tossing competition. We’re glad the writers changed it, because “I’ll be tossing haggis for my own hand” doesn’t have quite the same ring.

7. In the scene depicting Merida and Elinor’s big fight, Emma Thompson (who voiced Elinor) shocked the directors by working herself into an intense motherly rage. She even ad-libbed the spine-tingling line, “There’ll be fire and sword if it’s not set right.”

8. The movie originally depicted Elinor’s transformation into a bear on-screen. The directors scrapped that shot because when Elinor started sprouting hair, they feared audiences might think she was turning into Fergus (and what a different movie that would be).

9. Merida is five feet four inches tall, and Bear-Elinor is nine feet tall when standing. Their height difference created such a challenge for animators that sometimes they sunk Elinor into the floor a bit in order to fit both characters in the same shot. We suppose that’s just one of many hazards of turning into a bear.

10. The script originally called for the triplets to distract Fergus by projecting a shadow on the wall using a bear puppet. The writers changed the puppet to a chicken on a stick because they thought it was funnier (we agree).

11. Directors almost cut the touching flashback scene of Elinor and Young Merida singing a lullaby, due to the difficulty of animating Merida as a toddler. They eventually succeeded by scaling down the animation of teenage Merida and then making her features more youthful, resulting in the adorable little lass we all know and love.

12. Early versions of Brave called for most of the movie to take place in the snow, due to the witch’s spell affecting the whole land of DunBroch. Filmmakers scrapped this idea in order to show the colors of the beautiful Scottish landscape. (Pro-tip: You can spot some of the deleted snowy shots in the film’s trailer!)

13. Filmmakers recorded children whispering to create the distinct sound of the Will O’ the Wisps. They wanted something that sounded both cute and mysterious (nailed it).

14. The script originally called for Queen Elinor to turn back and forth from a human to a bear during her fight with Mor’du. Human or not, Elinor is the definition of fierce Mama Bear.

15. When Mor’du dies, his soul becomes a Will O’ the Wisp. The directors thought he should redeem himself by leading others towards their fate and away from the evil that consumed him during his lifetime.

2) Anna and Elsa

1. They modeled the reindeer, Sven, after Executive Producer John Lasseter's dog, Frankie! They actually brought in a real reindeer, but he just stood there and didn't move.

2. The crew got to tour Norway as "research" when they were designing the kingdom of Arrendelle. Coolest job ever.

3. Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled make a surprise appearance in Frozen! When they open the city gates for Elsa's coronation, you can see the couple's backs toward the camera.

4. However, there are more Disney theories within the movie. Fans believe that when Elsa and Anna's parents left the kingdom, they were en route to Germany for Rapunzel's homecoming when their ship sank near Denmark. The second part of the theory is that the boat the parents were on is actually the sunken ship in The Little Mermaid. Where does The Little Mermaid take place? Denmark, of course. Disney can be so clever with their inter-weaving storylines.

5. Queen Elsa was originally supposed to be a villain. Thankfully they changed the story to make her misunderstood. The movie just wouldn't have been the same.

6. They approached Idina Menzel to play Elsa after hearing her audition tape for Rapunzel in Tangled.

7. Director Chris Buck has worked on animation for other Disney classics including The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Oliver & Company, and The Rescuers Down Under.

8. The animators of the film will watch the voice actors perform their lines in the booth and study the faces they make while they act it out.

9. The co-director and writer of Frozen, Jennifer Lee, also wrote the screenplay for Wreck-It Ralph.

10. Did you notice there is a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal on one of the shelves at Wandering Oaken's Trading Post?

11. Elsa is the only Disney princess who isn't a teenager. Jennifer Lee said that she's 21. Anna is 18.

12. Josh Gad improvised most of Olaf's lines to make the producers laugh.

13.During the end credits there is a disclaimer about boogers! "The views and opinions expressed by Kristoff in he film that all men eat their own boogers are solely his own and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the Walt Disney Company or the filmmakers. Neither The Walt Disney Company nor the filmmakers make any representation of the accuracy any such views and opinions."

14. Frozen was the first full-length Disney (non-Pixar) movie to win the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature.

15. Frozen is the highest-grossing animated film in history beating out Toy Story 3. It has made over $1.07 billion and is still raking in the cash!

16. Jennifer Lee is the first female to direct a full-length Disney animated feature film. She is also the second woman ever to solely write the screenplay for a Disney film since Linda Woolverton wrote Beauty and The Beast in 1991.

17. The movie is based off of a Hans Christian Anderson story titled The Snow Queen, which was also the original title of the hit film before they changed it to Frozen.

18. Kristen Bell admitted that it had been a dream of hers to voice a Disney princess. She grew up watching The Little Mermaid and used to record herself singing all the songs. Like Menzel, Bell also auditioned to play Rapunzel in Tangled.

19. Anna is the only Disney princess to share a duet with the villain character.

20. The composer of the film, Christophe Beck, composed a bunch of movies you loveincluding Bring it On, Just Married, Hot Tub Time Machine, Date Night, The Hangover Part 2,Crazy, Stupid, Love and lots more.

3) Rapunzel

1. Tangled was Disney’s first full-length computer-animated fairy-tale adventure. 
It was also Disney’s 50th animated feature. No pressure or anything.

2. The director of Tangled, Nathan Greno, began his Disney career as an inbetween artist for Mushu in Mulan. 

Before directing Tangled he also worked on Brother Bear, Meet the Robinsons, and Bolt. He even voiced Lefty in Meet the Robinsons. Surprising, isn’t it?

3. Artists were inspired by the real world when designing Rapunzel’s world.
The kingdom was inspired by Mont-Saint-Michel and the hidden valley was inspired by Rocamadour. New life goal: visit these and other places that inspired Disney movies.

4. Early designs for Pascal were purple and blue.

Eventually the artists settled on green because it looked best with Rapunzel’s hair and clothes. (Pascal was also almost a squirrel. Nuts right?)

5. Animators drew inspiration from Cinderella and Pinocchio. 

Much of this inspiration comes from “shape language,” which is so subtle that you might not even notice it. Even though it isn’t obvious, it gives Tangled the fairytale feeling we love from other Disney classics.

6. There’s a family resemblance between Rapunzel and her parents. 


Okay, this one seems pretty obvious. For the audience to instantly know that the King and Queen are Rapunzel’s mom and dad they should look alike. Unlike normal families, Rapunzel came first and her parents were designed after her. Technically it would be wrong to say she looks like her parents—her parents look like her.

7. Animators originally considered using fireworks instead of floating lanterns. 

Story artist John Ripa came up with the idea to have lanterns instead. The team called a meeting to show John Lasseter the idea, thinking they would show him something amazing that he had never seen before. Turns out that John and his wife lit a lantern together on their anniversary while visiting Bora Bora. So much for a surprise… but he loved it!

8. Details from the castle are duplicated in the surrounding village. 

Artists wanted to make sure that there wasn’t a huge disconnect between the king and his people. They used shapes and architectural detail to do this. However, they did want the castle to stand out in terms of scale, so all the buildings in the village are three stories or less.

9. One particular meeting was instrumental to the smoldering success of Tangled. 

During this meeting, women from the studio brought in pictures of male actors and celebrities they found attractive. A very serious discussion followed as to what made these men… ahem… hot. From that day forth the meeting was referred to as the “Hot Guy Meeting.” Thanks to their tireless efforts and discussions, we can all gaze into the beautifully crafted face of Flynn Rider.

10. Tangled was almost a satire.

Glen Keane (character animator of Ariel, Beast, Pocahontas, and Tarzan), who had originally pitched the idea, wanted it to be a sincere fairy tale. When there was talk of taking a satirical approach to “Rapunzel” and titling it “Rapunzel Unbraided” Glen said, “I can’t do this kind of movie. This has to switch back, or else I can’t do it.” It switched back. He did it. Joy resulted.

11. The development of Tangled took forever.

Foooorrrreeevverrr! Well, since about 1937. “Rapunzel” was originally one of the stories that was considered and then rejected during a frenzy of post-Snow White and the Seven Dwarfsconcept development.  Other stories that were explored were Alice in Wonderland,Cinderella, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast.

Now that you’re totally wrapped up in these Tangled facts…
