The Disney Tag

So I'm back with another Disney themed post, surprise surprise. This is the Disney Tag, and I saw this on Ellie Steadman's You Tube channel . I thought I'd give it a whirl because who doesn't love a good chit chat about Disney related things?

1. What Disney scene do you wish you could experience?

Defiantly the boat scene/ I See the Light, between Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder in Tangled. Its such a beautiful scene, and is one of my all time favourite Disney songs. Plus how amazing would all those floating lights look?  

2. The first time that you went to Disney? 

The first Disney Park that I went to was Disneyland in California, which was the original Disney park, it was in 2002, and I was 6 and a half.

3. Your best memory from a Disney Park?

I've been lucky enough to go to three different Disney Parks, multiple times, so it is so hard to pick just one memory, because each park is so different. But I'd have to say probably the first time I watched the Disney Dreams lights show the first time I went to Disneyland Paris in 2013. I basically cried the whole way through, but mostly at the part where Quasimodo climbed up the castle and sang part of the song 'Out There' in French. I wept.

'Out there, strolling by the Seine, taste a morning out there' 

But another magical moment was when I was little and I was at the California Disneyland, and I was brought a Princess Jasmine costume, I remember being so excited to wear it, and literally putting it on straight away in the park.

So sassy 

4. A song that reminds you of being at Disney 

Apart from the parade songs like 'Magic everywhere' from Paris, probably 'A Friend Like Me' from Aladdin, because it always makes me think of that part in the Disney Dreams light show where all the turrets are moving and fire sparks up from the castle. 

5. A Disney character that you would want to be your best friend?

So many to choose from? I mean do I go for an animal best friend, or princess best friend? Part of me really wants to say Hamm from Toy Story, because I find him hilarious plus he could keep your money safe? But leading lady wise, I think I'd want to be best friends with Esmeralda, from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She is kind, strong and sassy, so you know she'd always have your back. Plus her side kick, Jolly, is awesome. 

'I'm Phoebus, it means Sun God' 

6. What is the first Disney film that you remember watching?

I watched Disney from a very young age, but I remember watching Lady and the Tramp, because I never used to understand the whole 'Jim dear' and 'Darling' thing, I do now though. 

There's little me, loving life with all my dogs, and Lady and the Tramp

I also remember I had a video with Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast taped from the telly on it, because in between the adverts of Sleeping Beauty there was a Tetley Tea advert and its always stuck in my mind. 

7. Favourite Disney Princess?

Ever since I can remember Aurora from Sleeping Beauty has always been my favourite princess. I have no idea why, because I was never really into the film when I was little, maybe I just loved the fact she had two princess dresses. Who knows? 

'Make it pink' 

8. A scene in a Disney film that makes you cry

There are several Disney moments that make me cry, but one of the worst is the scene in Pocahontas where John Smith is tied up in the tent because he's going to be killed, and Pocahontas says that she wished he'd never met her and he says the line; 'I'd rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you'. It makes me weep every time.

9. What is a Disney film that will make you feel better no matter what?

The Emperors New Groove. Hands down. The whole film is just hilarious, and I can basically recite it word for word. I think that Emperor Kuzco is one of my favourite Disney characters. 

10. What is your favourite Disney film?

The Hunchback of Notre Dame, without a doubt. This has been my favourite since I was 3, my mum says that I would watch it and then as soon as it was finished I'd ask to watch it again. It's rather strange that a 3 year old would love this film so much, because compared to the other Disney films its actually really dark and some of the lyrics are so deep; 'Why invite their calumny and consternation, stay in here'. I mean what 3 year old would even know what any of that meant? 

11. Favourite Disney song?

How can you pick?! I mean it depends what mood you're in, if you're feeling up beat and jazzy then 'Zero to Hero' from Hercules is fab, or 'I'll Make a Man Out of You' (Mulan). But if you're feeling slightly more chilled then maybe something like 'Beauty and the Beast'. Then what about solo songs?! Like 'Just Around the River Bend' (Pocahontas) , or 'Strangers Like Me' (Tarzan), or 'Why Should I Worry' (Oliver and Company). There is just such variety. 

But for my favourite song I shall pick 'Out There' from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the whole song is just amazing, the score is beautiful and the lyrics are wonderful. Claps go to Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, bravo gents.  

So they are my answers for the Disney Tag. Leave me a comment saying your favourite Disney film, or tell me your answers to the tag. I just love knowing peoples favourite things about Disney. 

Cheerio!
