Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 15

Day 15- Favorite dance scene


The final scene of Beauty and the Beast (1991) when Belle and the Prince (formerly the Beast) dance in the newly un-enchanted castle is our favorite dance scene.  This isn't just the happy ever after for the couple, but also for Mrs. Potts, Chip, Lumiere, and the rest of the castle residents.  This is what they have all been waiting for, and this scene ties our hearts in with theirs.

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 14

Day 14- Favorite lyrics


"Let it Go" from Frozen (2013) is one of our favorite songs (it almost got yesterday's article).  "Let it Go" not only fits Elsa's journey, but many people today can relate to it in their own way.  Every lyric of the song has a double meaning, which leads us to our bottom-line favorite lyric from the second verse of Demi Lovato's version: "I know I left a life behind, but I'm too relieved to grieve".  What's your favorite "Let it Go" lyric?

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 13

Day 13- Favorite song overall


"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins (1964) has been known and sung all over the world for decades now - it has certainly stood the test of time.  Mary Poppins and Bert make us feel all jumpy and happy inside every time we hear it.  We can't sing it without smiling (we've tried), the song just too, well, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 12

Day 12- Favorite love song


We smile with delight whenever Rapunzel offers the satchel to Eugene (formerly known as Flynn Rider) and Eugene, rather than taking it and running, sings beautifully with his new dream.  Cue happy sigh and possibly a box of tissues. "I See the Light" from Tangled (2010) is so beautiful.

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 11

Day 11- Favorite villain song


A good villain song requires 3 things: A showcase of evil, an overall creepy factor, a an evil laugh.  Scar's "Be Prepared" in The Lion King (1994) has it all.  The entire eerie green color scheme alone is a showcase of Scar's evil heart and downright creepy.  Scar's evil laugh at the end sends a chill down our spine.  Every. Single. Time.  Don't worry, Scar, we'll be prepared.

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 10

Day 10- Favorite outfit


Disney movies do not disappoint when it comes to fashion.  There are the epic capes, gorgeous ballgowns, and simply splendid everyday clothes.  No movie ties all three of those together though so flawlessly like Enchanted (2007).  Giselle of Andalasia has many fabulous outfit changes.  However, our favorite is the first dress Giselle makes out of Robert's curtains.  It's fairytale style but much more practical than the wedding dress from the previous day.  It has flowers, pink, and bows without any being over-bearing.  Next time we're in a clothing pickle, we know where to turn to: curtains.

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 9

Day 9- Favorite hair-do


Princess Anna's coronation day hair-do in Frozen (2013) takes first place.  It's fancy yet comfortable, braidy but not overkill.  The green ribbons in the back that match her dress (and eyes) are a nice touch.  On the inevitable day we're invited to a queen's coronation (or become queen ourselves) we'll be sure to go with this 'do.
