Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 22

Day 22- Favorite non-romantic duo

Mike and Sully from Monsters, Inc. (2001) and Monsters University (2013) make the perfect team.  They got off to a rocky start in college, but they each learned their lesson and made amends.  Together they started at the bottom (in the mail room, to be exact), and together they made their way on top, scarers.  Even when Boo came in, their friendship remained (but it was close!).  Sully and Mike are truly an example of a great friendship.

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 21

Day 21- Favorite castle

Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom is straight from a fairytale, yet it's right before our eyes.  No castle has stirred so such emotion in us.  We cry when we see it for the first time on Main Street.  We may cry some more seeing the fireworks go off behind it during Wishes.  And then we cry again when it's time to leave.  Cinderella Castle beckons us to a world where dreams come true.  And that's where we left our hearts.

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 20

Day 20- Favorite pet

Pascal from Tangled (2010) is the perfect pet for any situation.  The Pixie Dust Posse has had many different pets: hermit crabs, goldfish, frogs, even a kitty.  However, none of them have stood still for us to sew a dress for them.  None of our pets have played hide-and-seek with us.  None of them have traveled with us on an adventure to see the floating lights.  We wish we had a pet like Pascal, don't you?

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 19

Day 19- Favorite sidekick/henchman

When Mulan (1998) leaves home to take her father's place in the war, the ancestors deem she needs a guardian.  None other than Mushu is up for the job (especially now since the supposed "great stone dragon" is in pieces).  As Mushu said himself, he's travel-sized for Mulan's convenience.  He's helpful to Mulan in many ways.  For one, his fire power lit the cannon that brought the avalanche down upon the huns.  Also, he ties the fireworks to himself on the roof of the palace when Mulan is fighting Shan Yu.  Mushu is the perfect companion for Mulan, even though the ancestors didn't think so.

Disclaimer: Despite his lizard-like appearance on the picture above, he's a DRA-GON.  He doesn't do that tongue thing. :)

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 18

Day 18- Favorite villain

Mother Gothel from Tangled (2010) is downright selfish.  Her motivation?  Herself.  Her goal? Herself.  Mother Gothel just wants to be young forever - and she'll do whatever it takes to do it.  Hide the magic golden flower from the world even though it's the queen's only hope?  Pshhhh... of course!  Steal the princess and raise her secretly away from any other human contact?  Duh.  Act like she loves the child when the only love she has is for herself?  Oh yes.  Mother Gothel will cross any line and break any rule to keep herself young forever.  And that's what makes her our favorite villain.  And the villain song.  That too.

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 17

Favorite heroine

Bianca from The Rescuers (1970) and The Rescuers Down Under (1990) may be small, but she is the ideal choice as a rescuer for Penny and Cody.  She is brave, prissy, and a perfect match for her partner Bernard.  Bianca herself is certainly a statement that no matter how small and insignificant you may seem in others' eyes, you can still do BIG things.

Disney 30 Day Challenge, Day 16

Day 16- Favorite hero

Simba from The Lion King (1994) wasn't always a hero.  He ran away as a kid, grew up, and then tried to ignore his past.  However, thanks to Rafiki and Nala, he decides to step up and become who he's destined to be.  Some movie heroes appear to be perfect (when we all know he's not) and some heroes continue to be jerks (and somehow save the day anyway), but Simba learns his lesson and acts on it.  He is an example to follow, even though he's not the same species as us.
