[quote="Tar"]Mine too, Lydia, but getting past the obviousness of that pairing on an Aladdin forum... ;)

Beauty and the Beast. Not only do I identify with Belle in almost every way, this is one Disney movie where they really do manage to convey the "wholesome" message they claim to try for in all movies. 
Beauty is only skin deep.
No fooling around - it was love for an ugly character and scorn for a handsome character. And even when the Beast became the handsome prince, Belle didn't rush to him overjoyed in her good fortune, or whatever Cinderella/Aurora/Ariel would have done... she looked scared and upset (maybe because she thought he'd died, but that's another thing) because her love was gone. Ah... I just can't get over what a darn good job they did with that movie.

Something I didn't think of until you all mentioned it, but I agree that Phoebus and Esmeralda are amazing - you cannot help but fall in love with Phoebus if you're a teenage girl watching that movie, he's so funny and brave and strong and kind and gorgeous - and he compliments Esmeralda so very well. I love everything about that movie, especially the villain.

Shang and Mulan are great as well, especially because it was so NOT love at first sight, hehehe. The first time she meets him he's very, very upset with her - oh yeah, and thinks she's a man. ;)

I also loved Pocohantas and John Smith. Although it was incredibly cheesy that she knew how to speak English that well (the movie wouldn't have worked otherwise, but whatever), the whole deal with him learning to look past stereotypes and her learning to reconcile duty with her heart touches me on so many levels. 
I pretend as though I never touched or heard of that fucking sequel. It pissed me off so badly. Although one of the things that touches me most about Pocohantas and Smith is that they [i]don't[/i] end up together in the end, that it's not a perfect fairy tale ending,that  it still showed that love has no boundaries, love can cross an ocean, love is timeless and that they will always be together no matter what!

Simba and Nala isn't very well developed, but it's a good way of showing childhood friends growing up to feel something more than liking for each other, and that is really cute. I love Nala for forcing Simba to face up to his duty and his reality, and I love how Simba does it so well once she helped him just a little with it. The sequel kind of makes them look stupid though.

Ah... how I hate Disney sequels. (The only exceptions being the two obvious ones.... ;))[/quote]
