Childish of me to say this, but I just watched Sophia the First: Once Upon a Princess yesterday morning =w=lll It's a little girl's movie, I know, but I saw this commercial about it on Youtube while I was waiting for a video to load and they mentioned that the three fairies from Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella were going to be in the movie, so, I just HAD to watch it XD It sort of brought me back to the days of my childhood, lol, quite nostalgic >< Plus I wanted to see how those movie producers are doing with those princess movies and such. I still watch Barbie movies, to see how they progress, and kept comparing them with their predecessors. The previous, original ones are ALWAYS the best ^^ It's quite rare for sequels like Kung Fu Panda 2 to be enjoyable as the first. I'm not saying Princess Sophia the First sucks though. In fact, it's quite nice, I sort of liked the story, even though my brother claims that their animation sucks. Or is that the graphics? o.O It IS a movie for little girls, so fudge logic~
Sophia the First starts off about this kingdom called Enchantia or something relevant. Fancy, mythical names like that always pop up in fairy tales XD Anyhow, it told about how a shoemaker and her daughter went to the castle to deliver shoes for the king, only to have the shoemaker falling in love with King Roland the Second and vice versa ((cue shoemaker being embraced in Roland's arms)) Well, that was fast @@
So they're off to get married and Sophia and her mother was now moving into the castle to start off a royal life. Then came the Prince and Princess...what's his name again? Phillip? Robert? Gah! I keep forgetting things >< the Prince's sister was Princess Amber, blonde, beautiful and aloof at such a young age. Both would be Sophia's stepsiblings now.
New big-ass room. New wardrobe. Five or six fancy crowns. Even those dinky forks and knives of different sizes on the dining table. It's also weird to hear the King talking so casually o.O Sophia was just a normal girl at heart, and was unable to take in all this royal treatment, so she sings her heart out and went to see her mother ((musicals~
Ooo! King Roland gave her this cool, sparkly purple amulet necklace thingie as a present and made her promise to never take it off. Obviously, this is probably one of those royal heirlooms that possesses magical properties. I mean, they always have that @@ No way can an ordinary amulet emit that much sparkles.
In order to welcome the new family members in, Princess Sophia gets to have a ball in her honor. Problem was, she didn't know how to dance @@ Oh, the heck? Flying horses on flying carriages? Just for school? Why can't I have one of those? ((piak~
Wow. An academy for royalty-in-training. With the three fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather as the school headmistresses. Why is this reminding me of Barbie's Charm School? =w=lll Oh well, at least they're co-ed XD Young royalty from different backgrounds and countries all gathered here to learn the ways to be the proper princes and princesses.
Slowly, but surely, Sophia got the hang of school. But all that was disrupted by Amber, when she pulled off tricks like making his brother let Sophia on this magical autoswing that's dangerous when it gained momentum, and she ended up being flung into the fountain. And there's that other time when Amber gave her a pair of blue dancing shoes, which were actually cursed and made her jump and dance all over the place uncontrollably >< Poor Sophia.
Once, after the swing-fountain incident, she went into the forest, soaking wet in her purple gown (oo! purple! Take that, Flora and Merryweather! >:D No more reds and blues for you guys!) and despite feeling humiliated, she found a baby bird in the grass, beneath a tree, and helped it back to its nest. With this good deed, the amulet granted Sophia the aibilty to talk to animals. Funny how the animals play a part in this XD They talked about how they had served the princesses and helped them with their chores for eons, but they never got anything in return. LOL! At least they're rewarded with food from the kitchens by Sophia XD
Sophia was once part of the common folk, so her two best friends got to visit her sometimes. Even as kids, they met the prince and actually swooned. He's not THAT hot. He's just a kid! =.=
When magic was involved in this, a royal family always had a wizard by their side. This wizard was Cedric ("It's CE-dric," he would say, whenever Sophia called him CEE-dric XD), wheezy, weedy and plain lousy in spells == He kept making the furniture disappear with this wand. But he's evil, 'cause he wanted Sophia's amulet to himself and rule the kingdom ><
Sophia didn't know that. Also, she needed help in dancing to not make a fool of herself at the ball, so she went to find him for help. Instead of a dancing spell, he scribbled a SLEEPING spell for her on a piece of yellowed parchment, so that when she recites the spell, everyone would fall asleep, and he could finally take the amulet.
Amber was in distraught when her brother didn't like her for pulling pranks on little good-natured Sophia, and she saw her popularity slipping away. Her royal blue, gold-embroidered gown was torn at the side when the hem of her skirt was pulled by the one of the feet of her vanity while trying to chase after her brother. Or was it the chair? =w=lll So, she didn't come for the ball, and just sobbed in her room, realizing that her brother was right: she's jealous of Sophia.
In the ballroom, Sophia made an appearance, the spell paper clutched in her hand behind her back. As the dance was about to start, Sophia read the spell out, and magic seeped out, making everyone asleep, even dumb Cedric himself. She was terrified and thought that she'd recited it wrongly, and fled from the ballroom to call for help. Hopeless, tears came out, sluicing her cheeks, and a drop fell onto the amulet. Guess what? CINDERELLA SUDDENLY POPPED OUT OF THIN AIR! O.O She explained that the amulet connected all the princesses and fairies, so that one could help the other when one's in need. So, if one needs help, and one of the princesses is in the middle of doing something like, I don't know, taking a shower, won't that be...awkward? =[]=lll
Cinderell-y started singing! :D She sang about how her stepsisters were also jealous of her, and because of that, they loathed her, and that she should've done something about it, but she didn't got to and now regretted 'cause they could've been sisters and got along together. So now she's telling Sophia to forgive Amber 'cause she's her sister now, and family should stick together. I cried at that part, admittedly, because I remembered how horrible they were to Cinderella and that now she's saying she forgave them, it's so gamdong! TT^TT
Oh well. Her appearance was brief, plus her character model was not as pretty as the 2D version (her nose! >.<), so let's get back to Sophia and Amber. Amber apologizes, Sophia forgives, SISTER HUG~ XD To break the spell, the girls would have to go to Cedric's basement lair to find his book of spells. The animals even pitched in to distract Cedric's annoying crow.
The ball was saved! Sophia mended Amber's dress, since she learned sewing from her mother as the shoemaker's assisstant. In return, Amber even taught Sophia how to dance. The royal family, along with the common folk, all dance happily ever after. The end! ^^
So kids, if you wanna be as popular as Sophia, go for the good-natured personality, don't be a hater like Amber and Cinderella's stepsisters! It all comes down to attitude.
Remember Rapunzel? I love Disney's movie about this princess! Tangled! ^^ It's way different from the original story. I like the fact that she has magical hair and that her 'mother' kept her locked in the tower so that she can have all the powers of youth to herself. It makes so much sense as she has such long hair! Because once her hair's cut, her hair will turn back to its original colour, brown, and it will lose its power. She's so bubbly and eager to see the world outside! And Flynn Rider, I mean, ahem, Eugene, well, he's hot! XD And he's not your typical prince, but a wanted thief! A handsome, flirtatious thief, but still one to boot! <3 And the floating, flying lanterns play a big part in the story as well! They totally look like marshmallows. Don't they look like marshmallows?
Awww~<3 They sang so sweetly~ Rapunzel's voice is so awesome even my face has goosebumps @@ Can't believe I cried again at this part @@ And that other part where Rapunzel thought that Flynn left her for the crown. It's just so sad! And that part where Rapunzel finally gets to meet her parents! What a reunion! It felt like one of the proudest moments ever. And the waterworks just can't stop itself TT[]TT
Awwwwwww~~~~They're about to KISS! Stupid twin ginger buffs and stupid youth-obsessed witch! >< They just HAVE to interrupt this romantic moment, don't they? Antagonists, tch~
They even have that an OVA of their wedding! The horse and the chameleon were so cute! XD They accidentally dropped the wedding rings (gold, with minute diamonds) and they chased them all over town. It's so creative and fun! Very cool~ ^^ When will they ever get Eugene's nose right? LOL XD
I was flicking through the TV channels when I suddenly come across channel NHK, a Japanese one, featuring a program about Kyary Pamyu Pamyu ^^ I love her fashion! It's colourful, it's bright, very unique, even though her music videos can be a bit weird but that's the best part of it! It's unlike any other! And her songs! It's so catchy! Cutesy! Fun! She has an amazing voice, makes me claw at my throat and be like, why can't my voice be as good as hers? :O Her style is so lolita-like. I always admire that sort of style >w< One day, I shall purchase a pastel-coloured dress, frills, lace and all, along with cute foodie accessories! ^^
I recommend her song Fashion Monster. I love, love, love that Halloween theme and bat-like hairstyle! I'm sure Batman would've grudgingly accept that style, I mean, it's the bat after all! =w=lll And did you see that guitar? Massive! @@ Her other song, Candy Candy is also great to listen, very nice ^^ If only she can come to Malaysia QAQ Where's the Kyary Pamyu Pamyu fan base when you need one? I see a lot of them American fans on TV and they kept commenting on how unique her style is and how everyone is inspired by it and that's how she gained popularity. They even know the dance moves to her songs, so cool that they held a flash mob in New York! o>w<o Kyary, if you do read this, please come to Malaysia QAQ I'll gather every fan if I have to! I super, super love your style! You're, like, my idol, my role model in the fashion department, and if you ever cosplay, you'll be, like, a legend @@ Seriously, how did you do your hair up like a bat? That's the best Halloween style ever! Thumbs up to your stylist! o>w<o Kawaii na!
Father bought apple pie again today ^^ He wanted to surprise me, but I caught him putting it, along with some chicken pies, into the fridge. He looked like a deer being caught in the headlights XD Thanks, Dad! :)))
I should go study Biology now. Why can't math just stay as math and not pop up with something like ADD math? It's like they have nothing to do, so they come up with this ADD math >< sigh! It used to be my favourite subject, but when stuff like CIRCLES and TRIGONOMETRY and INTEGRATION appears in the syllabus, I change my mind, I'm going for plain old math XD TTFN!
