would you want an all Princess movie?

Post by Princess Forever »

What I mean by 'all Princess' is having the 6 main Princesses in the same "universe" and having an adventure together. I know that may sound a bit Saturday-morning-cartoonish, but it's still something I'd love to see :)

I would totally love that! I really like House of Mouse, and any time that characters interact. One time at Animal Kingdom, for example, Koda & Kenai were joined by Donald & Goofy [I believe Goofy, too], and it was one of the greatest moments ever. :)

If the Princess Christmas DVD was any good, I'd buy that, but the princess apparently don't really interact in that, I guess.

But, yeah, I'd buy it if it were a true movie and not just a compilation of TV episodes.

I'd watch it, and probably even get excited for it, but deep down, I would be unhappy. Like in Enchanted, they wanted all the characters to be of their own universe in fear it would weaken their individual mythologies, which I agree with.

However, if all the voice actress were to return (well, all that can), and the animation was nice enough, I'm sure I'd really like it.

Just today I was thinking of a Princess themed American Idol show. We all know they can sing (well, except for Snow White...), but who is really the best out of them all? (BR of course!).

We could see how well they'd stand upto Simon's harsh criticism, break under the pressure of reality TV, bitching around behind the stage and vote eachother off survivor style (complete with lack of clothing) :wink:

Unless we're talking about Roger Rabbit or House of Mouse type ideas where the princesses interact simply because all the Disney animated characters live in the same world, then no. Here are the reasons why:

1. The Disney Princess franchise stinks in general. Whilst the films in which the princesses originate are very good, their shared toy-line is creepy.

2. The princesses come from different cultures and time periods. Okay, so the majority of the princesses are from European cultures, but even still, they exist in different time periods so a film with them all in could look like a bad time-travel mess. For example, Aurora/Briar Rose is from the 14th century, and would look quite strange in the world where Cinderella lives, which appears to look like somewhere in Europe during the Romantic era. And imagine placing Snow White in Princess Tiana's New Orleans!

3. The princesses all come from different source materials anyway. Did you know that the story of Mulan exists in Ancient Chinese poetry? And that Pocahontas is a legendary figure from American folklore? Not to mention the fact that countless versions of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast etc have been recorded by many different folklorists from many different cultures. Don't you think that respect for the classic source materials ought to be appreciated?

I like the idea of the princesses living in the same universe. I wrote a fanfic in which the Daleks invade their world and yes people get killed in tha just haven't put it up anywhere. Now I am working on one based on one of my favorite scifi stories the War of the Worlds trust me that one is gonna get ugly as well but the WOTW fanfic was narrowed down to only four princesses cause the others would have been martian fodder.

Only if it were in the vein of "Sex and the City", like in which Cinderella (a sexy young writer who writes about sex), Snow White (a young vixen who dreams of finding her prince and living together in a posh high rise), Belle (a sexy young lawyer who finds herself falling for a hairy beast), and Ariel (the sexy experienced one) all move to the big city to drink fruity alcoholic beverages, talk about love and relationships, and date all the other Disney men.

I wouldn't want to see it unless it were a spoof or parody. And the Shrek movies already did that very well.

But then, I'm also not in Disney's target demographics for the Princess-themed product either.

It would be nice, but - like some other posters said - it's practically impossible because they all live in different time periods. However, that problem could be solved if some magical being - let's say Genie - who has the power to travel through time and space, brought them together.

But what could they possibly do then? Look pretty? Solve riddles? Fight baddies? I think this idea (time travel) would work better with Disney Heroes, because there just isn't (or I can't figure out) a plausible plot for a feature film with Disney Princesses.

I like to view them as living on another planet where they all exist at the same time.

Dimensions in Time: The Disney Princess Edition!

Anyway, I agree with Wondy for the reasons he mentioned. Plus, it's bad enough we have to endure an entire overhyped merch line and the occasional DVD that brings about sound and fury. A whole crossover movie would be one step too far.

I like the idea of genie or other powerful being bringing them all together. And it could showcase tha princesses can kick a$$! Besides, in posters and stuff, they have them all together, despite time eras, countries, etc.

No, No, No, No and just so I get my message across. NO! (Although on reflection, the idea of Pickled Princesses...)

If you want one Disney crossover, its obviously Team Atlantis meets Tarzan via Burrough's underground Kingdom of Pellucidar. And with Pixar doing a John Carter movie, it would sort of make some sort of synergistic sense for Disney marketing. Sorted. Go to it Disney for a 2012 release.

Well, as much as I think it would be interesting to see, I would have to pass on such an idea.

I could see the main six (Aurora, Ariel, Snow White, Belle, Cindy, and Jasmine) together, but not in sharing the same universe. That would just be weird.

The sad thing is . . . I could see Disney trying to make something like this happen just to mock me. XD

It would be to weird seeing them all together in the same place. Some of them I could see making cameos but not full out interacting with each other.

I think it could all turn rather nasty if you ask me. I mean, we're talking about several Princesses in one movie here! To me that = Diva tantrums and rivalry! For instance, do you think Snow White's gonna take kindly to Aurora overpowering her vocals so that Snow White's shrill, shreiky voice can no longer be heard? I don't think so! Miss White will be all up in Sleeping Beauty's face 'til the three good fairies have to come along and break the two of them up. I for one don't want to see clumps of Aurora's luscious locks scattered over the floor and I don't want to see Aurora being the one to poison Snow White's apple. I think you get the gist :wink:
