I just watched Beauty and the Beast last night...i know, 19 and I still watch Disney movies. What can I say, I am researching for my major. I am going to school to be an animator. This one is my favorite...I think it is because I loved KQ6 and Robbie Benson...I think...was the voice of Alexander and the Beast.
Does anyone else have a favorite fairy tale? It does not have to be a Disney movie.
My other fav is Jorinda and Joringel.
-
I love that one too :D I should watch it again, but I got uberly obsessed and sicne then I forgot to watch. Maybe tonight whilst doing college work!
-
I always liked Sleeping Beauty.
(was that the title? its been a while)
-
On the subject of Disney movies, did anyone else notice that a lot of Disney voice actors were in KQ6?
-
Hmm. I didn't. Of course, I don't follow Disney voice actors that closely.
I'm amazed that someone besides me has heard of Jorinda and Joringel! I first heard it on a recording of a 1940s kid's radio show that dramatizes fairy tales, and I've never heard it in any other context.
I'd have to say that my favorite is "The Fool and the Flying Ship" (there are countless variations of it and its elements), though " Puss in Boots " has been a longtime fave as well.

i personally liked Lady and the Tramp ;D
-
i know, 19 and I still watch Disney movies.
So what? Why should only (young) children be 'allowed' to watch Disney movies?
Just as I wouldn't know which game I like best, or which movie I like best, I wouldn't know which fairly tale 'by Disney) I like best. You see, to pick a best one, first you have to be able to at least remember the title. :-\
-
I still love Disney movies. :) My fave Disney movie is prolly The Sword in the Stone, but that's not really a fairy tale. Unfortunately my fairy tale reading knowledge has gotten rather rusty. I was usually more inclined to read Greek myths instead. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
-
I think that one of Disney's best was The Black Cauldron.
-
I'm amazed that someone besides me has heard of Jorinda and Joringel!
I heard about it... actually read it. I used to love fairy tale books when I was a kid... don't recall having favorites though ;]
-
FUN FACT: The Black Cauldron got Tim Burton fired from Disney...
-
Who is Tim Burton ???
-
Tim Burton (http://imdb.com/name/nm0000318/bio) worked on The Black Cauldron, hope this helps ; )
-
Thankyou very much B'rrr ;D
-
Tim Burton did all the creepy but funny movies. ;)
-
He's the best Batman director IMO ;)
-
Edward Scissorhands was good :D
-
Beetlejuice was better :D
-
I never saw beetlejuice.
-
Beetle Juice was cool ;D, but i havent seen all of it :-\
-
I highly recommend it ;)
-
well, for fairy tales, I'm really not sure which is my favorite...but if we had to talk about Disney's adaptations of the fairy tales...it's a toss-up between Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty.

My friend has beetle juice on DVD so ill borrow it off of him ;B
-
I never really wanted to see it.
-
Nightmare before Christmas! My favourite disney film of all time probably, just so cool! (Tim Burton too)
NBC was disney right?
-
Yeah, Night Before Christmas was Disney ;D, but unfortunately i never got to see it :'(, ill try and rent that now ;D
-
Oh sorry I lie! NBC is my second fav disney film, the first would have to be Spirited away <3 <3 <3 awesome awesome awesome amazing film and its just been released on DVD in the UK with more features than my US version so it looks like thats another £15 down the drain ::)
-
Spirited away has been out here for months now XB
-
I don't remember what my favourite Fairy Tale was or if I even had a favourite. ::)
My favourite Disney flick is The Lion King. XD
EDIT: I also loved Finding Nemo, but that's by Pixar. :P
-
I think I once saw beetle juice on tv, but like many things, I forget most of it. :-[
-
EDIT: I also loved Finding Nemo, but that's by Pixar. :P
Finding Nemo Rules ;D, its based in Australia which is cool and its so funny ;B
I especially like the seagulls :suffer:
-
Mine!! ; )
lol, enjoyed Nemo, Shrek and ice age ; )
don't know my favorite fairytale though, oh-wait, isn't LotR a fairytale?? ; )
-

I don't think there are any fairies in LoTR. ;D
-
fairy, elf, what is the difference ; ) the dutch word elfje is sometimes used for fairies as well ; )
-
Faries can fly. :P
-
Elves can too.... with a little help that is ; )
hmmm ....where is that catapult ; )
-

A fairy is a fee, you and your stupid Dutch language.
-
hahaha, my stupid dutch?? i didn't create that cwazy language. I know that a fee is a fairy, but in some tales elfje is used... and that would be a small vesrion of a fee , but is has wingz and stuff....
-

You might not have created it, but you use it. In Flemish I've never known an elfje being referred to as a fairy.
-
Elves are related to fairies.
Like it or lump it. :D
-
They're related, but they're not the same.
-
Meh. Close enough. :)
-
lol, how are they related?? I always thought that elves were created by illuvator (simarillion anyone? ; )
-
lol, how are they related?? I always thought that elves were created by illuvator (simarillion anyone? ; )
Samiwhat ???
They're both fairytale-creatures.
-
Simarillion.... never heard of it?? <sigh>
-
Not ALL fairytales have fairies in them, you know... it's just a name :P
-
Tolkien
Cat
-
Oh, they were there...he just didn't write about them...
-
Tolkien
yeahhh.... someone who read books ; ) ...that is, fantasy books
-
You know, Tolkien ripped off the name of another mythical beast to use for a creation of his own.
Sailors spoke of huge, sharp-jawed, black and white creatures that swam in the cold, northern waters. The name that they came to call them by later was altered slightly to become the common name that the real, non-exaggurated animal is known by: the Orca.
That's right. Orcs were fierce denizens of the ocean...until good ol' J. R. R. came along. Sad, isn't it?
Akril
-
OK, so. So far I've gotten that elves don't fly, fairies do, and orcs existed in some form before LotR. And aren't tiny versions of fairies called sprites in English? The rest I'm just confuzzled. ;P
Peace & Luv, Liz
-
sprites.... isn't that the plural of sprite? and isn't sprite a soda (like 7up)? ...<sigh> this is starting to confuse me ; )
-
Yes, sprites is a plural... I was trying to match the plurality of "tiny versions" and "fairies" in my sentence. Perhaps "Isn't a tiny version of a fairy called a sprite?" would have worked better... I apologize.
And yes, Sprite is also a soda brand. English sucks, doesn't it?
Peace & Luv, Liz
-
Yeah i think Sprites are small fairies or something close to that ;B
-

lol, no need to apologize at all ; ) ...I understand what you meant ; )
-
Oh, OK then. I just wanted to make sure. :)
Speaking of fairies flying... does Edgar get to do any flying in KQ9? And does Rosella get airsick? :suffer:
Peace & Luv, Liz
-
Good question Jeysie ;) :suffer:
-
Yeah i think Sprites are small fairies or something close to that ;B
Don't sprites have anything to do with (pc) graphics? ::)
-
Yes but it also has something to do with small fairies or evils ;B
-
My dictionary says a sprite is:
a) fairy,
b) dwarf, and
c) (wood) spirit. 8)
-
Yeah thats what mine said ;B
-
Yeah thats what mine said ;B
It can't be the same though, mine was an English-Dutch dictionary. XB
-
lol, why can't he have an E-D dictionary ?? ; )
-
lol, why can't he have an E-D dictionary ?? ; )
Because he probably wouldn't understand the 'D'-part. ;D
-
that isn't all that weird ; ) ...I have a french-dutch, a spanish-dutch and a italian-dutch dictionary, and i can't understand those languages... well, xcept for french (a bit)
-
My dictionary says that a sprite is "an elf, fairy or goblin". Yum.
-
Yum? Yum?! Mango, have you been eating sprites again? I told you to stop doing that. Fey folk are not the sort you want to piss off.
Peace & Luv, Liz
-
I love Sprite! Oh, wait, we're talking about living sprites, not the Coca-cola product...oops, sorry ;P

Did ye not notice that in all of your dictionary, the 'Dutch' is at the end? That's the point I was making. You normally only buy dictionaries which translate to your own language, or a language you'd like to understand. Dutch is certainly not racx's language, and I doubt it's a language he'd like to understand (in depth). 8)
-
hmmm.... i always buy in couples... so i can look words up in both languages... ; )
-

I would've never bought any foreign language dictionaries had it not been for school. My E-D and D-E dictionaries stem from my mother's school days. So does the D-F dictionary, the F-D dictionary I bought for school, and the G-D and D-G dictionaries too. 8)
-
Little Nemo and Tenth Kingdom are my favorite fantasy movies. :) Little Nemo being that movie about the kid on the flying bed of course. ;)
Two other awesome movies, one was Cock A Doodle Doo (I think, it was about a rooster being saved or something like that) and another one had to do with a tiny kingdom being found underneath the sink (different than Tenth Kingdom I think). And there was another movie that I cannot remember the name of that had to do with Time Pirates or something. And another movie where there was a Troll with a Green Thumb, and another movie where a girl's father was turned into stone until near the end...
Basically, I love surreal fantasy movies. The ones that make you think and wonder, and you don't even know what's going on half the time. *Especially* when they blend reality with fantasy so much you can't find the border anymore. ;D
-
Yeah thats what mine said ;B
It can't be the same though, mine was an English-Dutch dictionary. XB
Mine said a small fairy, dwarf and/or spirit
-
I loved 10th Kingdom! But never heard of Little Nemo--only Finding Nemo...And, I'm sure this doesn't count as a fairy tale, but The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen--that was awesome!
Cat
-
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was cool XD
-
hmmm.... never seen that movie ; / ...so you could reccomend that? ...where could I compare it with?
-
its got Sean Connery in it ;B

It is a rather old but good animated movie. I was surprised to see it was based on some old books from around 1908, I'll have to look up the books sometime. Little Nemo In Slumberland is the book(s).
-
I, also, loved the 10th Kingdom.

Thanks...the picture on the box looks familiar, so I might have been exposed to it some time or another. I'll have to start checking the local video stores!
