Hola! As most of bạn probably know, I have taken the liberty of restarting người hâm mộ of the tháng after a few months of inactivity due to Crazy_Rawr's absence. This is the first FOTM interview in months and it's with Tygers_Eye, FOTM for May. MalloMar provided the questions. Well, here's the long awaited interview :)

1. Congratulations! How does it feel to be người hâm mộ of the Month?

A little surprising. I just learned that I won người hâm mộ of the tháng for May 2014. Since's it's now October, I imagine my shock.

2. Your yêu thích Princess and why?

Princess Tiana. I think she has a great combination of admirable characteristics balanced with relatable personality flaws. On the one hand, she’s very tenacious, hard-working, driven, motivated, and won’t give up on her dream. On the flip side of that coin, she’s a tunnel-visioned stick-in-the-mud that doesn't know how to do anything besides work, and doesn't want to because she wants to stick with things she’s familiar with. Since she’s had to work “two jobs her whole life,” it’s all she feels comfortable with and so throws herself into her work. Since she’s never danced hoặc fallen in tình yêu (or been a frog ;P) she avoids these things like crazy. She’s afraid of putting herself out there hoặc making herself vulnerable to embarrassment and heartbreak, which I relate to with every fibre of my being.

I also relate to how finding romance is not her highest priority. She's rather accomplish her goals and achieve her dream than wait for prince charming, despite how her best friend Lottie can think of nothing else and her mom keeps pressuring her to give her grand kids. Considering my sister dreams of the princess fairy tale true tình yêu too, and my mom is thêm interested in me finding a husband than succeeding in college, I know this all too well. x_x

3. Your least yêu thích Princess and why?

Princess Ariel. Most people on fanpop are tired of hearing this, but I find her very selfish, thoughtless and inconsiderate. The less đã đưa ý kiến about that, the better.

4. Your yêu thích Prince and why?

Prince Philip. I know it’s pretty corny and old-school, but I like how well-rounded he is as a prince. Handsome, fairly intelligent, romantic, charismatic, a great singer, a great dancer (dancing is my weakness), sincere, follows his heart, is interested in finding true tình yêu instead of conforming to an arranged marriage, tells his father he’ll marry the woman he loves (with the hilarious and poignant “This is the 14th century!”) and pays no mind to his father’s ensuing tantrum.

5. Your least yêu thích Prince and why?

The Beast. Mostly because of how he treats his staff. He condemns them to being inanimate objects for eternity TWICE (first when he angers the enchantress and then when he frees Belle), and never seems to acknowledge hoặc apologize to them. He also terrorizes them for ten years when they’re trapped in the lâu đài with him. He doesn't even try to find tình yêu if even just to free them.

While it’s very noble that he falls for Belle and “finally learns to love” and when he sets Belle free, I feel it doesn't prove he's a better person tổng thể because he still doesn't think of his staff. He gives up his own chance to end the curse to free Belle. That's great, but he’s still not the only one under the curse. bởi freeing her, he condemns his staff. I wouldn't mind, except he doesn't seem to CARE that they’re hurting too. He doesn't even try to protect the lâu đài from invaders after Belle’s gone!

Mrs. Potts: “What should we do, Master?”
Beast: “It doesn’t matter now. Just let them come.”

bạn ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THE CASTLE, BUDDY! bạn selfish prick. Sirius Black đã đưa ý kiến in Harry Potter that a true measure of a man’s kindness is how he treats his staff (or creatures less powerful than him, I don’t remember) and my sister often says that a man’s true nature comes out in how he treats those that can do nothing for him. And the Beast fails both tests.

6. Your yêu thích DP villain and why?

“Gentlemen! Enchante! A tip of the hat from Dr. Facilier!”

I think he’s a great villain. Great design, great voice, great voodoo powers, great motivation, a fairly sympathetic backstory, an awesome villain song—this guy’s got it all! Unfortunately he suffers from little screen time and not much main plot involvement. If they had just revised the story before animating, he could have been one of the Greats!

7. Your least yêu thích DP villain and why?

Ratcliffe. There’s not much to him besides his greed and social-climbing. He also started the “greedy white man destroys everything in tìm kiếm of gold” stock villain that plagued Disney’s late 90’s, early 2000’s (like Clayton from Tarzan and General Rourke from Atlantis), so yeah.

8. Your yêu thích DP movie and why?

Beauty and the Beast. I think it’s the closest to a “perfect movie,” especially one made bởi Disney. I also tình yêu all the sophisticated morals and life lessons that even most grownups don’t get, and the subtext and symbolism that I keep discovering even after the ninety-something time of seeing it

9. If bạn could choose one Disney heroine to be in the line-up, who would it be? Where would they rank on your pretty danh sách and yêu thích list?

Esmeralda, without question. She’d also be my yêu thích and most pretty bởi a landslide.

10. Which Princess do bạn relate to most and why?

Mulan. I know how it feels to be awkward, unable to fit in the role that society says I should, try hard to meet everyone’s expectations and fail, make a fool out of myself when I meet new people in a situation/environment I’m not familiar with, etc.

11. Who is your...

12. Your yêu thích DP couple and why?

Don't really have one. Don't really care for DP romances. I guess Aurora and Philip since they're so iconic.

13. Your least yêu thích DP couple and why?

Pocahontas and John Smith. Not historically accurate, based on the faulty “native women can’t resist the handsome, virile, superior, godlike white man” trope, and I can’t stand Mel Gibson (who voiced John).

14. Your yêu thích DP song and why?

Once Upon a Dream. I think it’s very beautiful, ethereal and romantic.

15. Your least yêu thích DP song and why?

Um... None really comes to mind.

16. What is your yêu thích song from each DP movie? (It doesn't have to be sung bởi the DP)

>- Snow White: I'm Wishing -> One Song
>- Sleeping Beauty: Once Upon a Dream
>- Cinderella: Sing Sweet Nightingale (underrated, imo)
>- The Little Mermaid: Kiss the Girl. (Apparently I owe my first Kiss with my beau to that song, as mentally hát it gave him the courage to Kiss me.)
>- Beauty and the Beast: Belle (Reprise)
>- Aladdin: "MAAAAAAAAAKE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY FOR PRINCE ALIIIIIIIIIIII!"
>- Mulan: Matchmaker Song, oddly enough.
>- Pocahontas: Just Around the Riverbend
>- Princess and the Frog: "I got Những người bạn on the Other Side!"

>- Mulan: Kahn
>- Princess and the Frog: cá đuối, ray the Firefly! <3
>- Tangled: Maximus
>- Brave: Those two maids always trying to calm down Maudie. (The female of the species does exist in this movie! I was starting to think Merida, Elinor and Maudie were the only ones!)
>- Frozen: ... The ice harvesters that sing Nữ hoàng băng giá Heart.

18. yêu thích and least yêu thích DP sidekick?

yêu thích is cá đuối, ray the Firefly (he’s not that popular, but I tình yêu him!) and least yêu thích is cá bơn, bồ câu (grow a spine bạn little guppy!).

19. yêu thích Disney movie? (Not being a DP hoặc Pixar movie)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame!

20. yêu thích Pixar movie?

… Do I have’ta?

All right, all right. I guess… Ratatouille.

21. Which DP do bạn want to be best Những người bạn with and why?

Cinderella. She’s very kind and soft-spoken. She loves động vật like me, and based on how well she treats the động vật I can see that she would be a very loyal, kind, helpful, dedicated friend. (Seriously, she saves them from traps, gives them clothes, names, food, shelter, etc, is willing to help them out even though she already has so much to do, go to bat for them even though it’ll get her in even thêm trouble, etc.)

22. Which DP do bạn think bạn would not get along with and why?

Ariel. Unlike cá bơn, bồ câu hoặc Sebastian, I wouldn't let her drag me into places I don’t want to be in, hiển thị no concern for my distress hoặc well-being, ignore my protests hoặc warnings to leave, and then STILL drop everything I’m doing to follow her to the ends of the sea, hươu con, nâu vàng, fawn over her, risk everything to help her, hoặc risk my very life to save hers. “What bạn give is what bạn get,” as Tiana says, and I’m not giving anything to a gal that can’t even ask if I’m all right and actually wait to hear the answer, hoặc just blows me off when I try to talk to her, hoặc just pats my head and walks away when I say, “I hope bạn appreciate what I go through for you!” after I risked my life to help her.

23. yêu thích crossover couple?

I know this sounds bad since I just finished ragging on her, but… Ariel and Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet.

I guess I'd better better explain why.

1) I've seen a lot of pictures of them photoshopped together and I think they have GREAT chemistry. Whether it's Ariel admiring Jim from afar, Ariel being perky and Jim being tired/annoyed, Ariel being bubbly while Jim smiles at her antics, Jim taking her para-sailing, Jim protecting her on an adventure, the two just sharing a romantic moment, first kiss, wahtever. I just think they look cute and compatible no matter the situation.

2) Their stories are rather compatible since she's a mermaid that dreams of life on land, while he's a human who works in his mother's seaside inn and then goes on an adventure on a sea ship in... space. Well, whether his adventure is a traditional sea adventure like the book hoặc a sci fi adventure like the film, can bạn imagine the possibilities if their stories were combined?!

3) Based on their personalities, I actually think they would be rather compatible. Ariel is perky, bubbly, cheerful, energetic, adventurous, etc. Jim is thêm dour, moody, serious, and downtrodden, but has a secret fun side. I think Ariel could help him smile and see the joy in life, while he could challenge her, make her think, make her feel compassion and consideration for others (since he actually has problems), but still feed her tình yêu of the human world and her thrill for adventure.

4) I think they would bring out the best in each other. Again, Ariel's sweet, cheerful, carefree nature could make him smile, lighten up, and act nicer (as we see cute, sweet, carefree Morphy do in the film). Likewise, I think that being in tình yêu with a regular guy who actually has to work for a living and has problems of his own (instead of a rich, easygoing, carefree prince who'll just give her everything she wants) would teach Ariel to be thêm considerate, compassionate, and helpful to others.

24. Have bạn ever been to any of the Disney theme parks? Which one? If not, which one would bạn like to go to?

Yes, Disneyland in California. Great place. Lots of fond childhood and teenage memories there.

25. What are your hopes on...

- Fanpop? - I guess that it’ll be a nice place again. I know I haven’t been contributing to it because I can be pretty negative and short-tempered, which is why I try to post as seldom as possible.

- Future Disney movies? - BRING BACK TRADITIONAL HAND-DRAWN (OR AT LEAST 2D) ANIMATION, DARN IT!!!!
