Princesses and Princes of Disney @disney-royalty-unite - Tumblr Blog

So...I don't think I need to say that this blog is pretty much dead. I think I'm the only member left of the original team and the slight revival team left on tumblr or at least paying attention to this blog.

This whole thing was started a few years ago by someone who just wanted to make a fun, exciting place for Disney fans to meet and work together on a blog for people to enjoy. I was incredibly glad to be allowed to join the group and I made several friends through it, who I will admit I am no longer in contact with, but who were very influential to me in my young teens, when I need female empowerment the most.

The blog was not always a happy place for us all-we fought a lot, we weren't good people to each other; we were young teens and young adults with all of our own struggles to deal with in our own lives and we lashed out because of it. That killed the blog.

I am grateful for what happened though, I can't see why I shouldn't be. I was a desperately lonely, depressed, anxious teenager who found her voice through Disney characters both on this blog and, embarrassing, rping on twitter *war flashbacks and cringes*. It made me a better writer and a better person overall.

When I leave this blog, I believe no one will be left to run it. It will stay up, the original owner never deleted it and I have no way to, I believe. You can still follow it, I don't care I'm not the boss of you, but it should be even deader than before.

If you want to follow me on my own tumblr (though I don't know why anyone would care to, I never made my personality known), you can @thephantomofthe-internet. If not, thanks for reading this.

goodbye, it's truly been real

P.S. Chloe, if you ever read this, and I don't think you will, I'm so fucking sorry. We were terrible. You deserved better.

Animated Hair Explained

What do these two ladies have in common?

Yes, they are both 18, but both of them are also daily accused of failed hair physics. I cannot even count how many times people bring these two up to me when I’m ranting about animation errors. So I’m now here today to make it clear why Rapunzel and Anastasia (and their character designers) do not deserve the criticism.

RAPUNZEL

Complaint: “When Rapunzel gets her hair braided it turns super short.”

Backstory: Yes, she has long ass hair. 70 feet of it to be precise. And her hair does indeed get shorter when it’s braided. But the hair itself is still 70 feet long.

The secret: It’s just folded on-top of itself several times.

The proof: We don’t see much of the branding process itself. The image below is actually from the only shot we get.

But take a look at normal braids from “Tangled” as well as “Frozen”.

Pretty small, right? Also check out how thin Rapunzel’s hair is when you grab it all in your hand: it’s not unaturally thick in any way.

Now look at Rapunzel’s huge ass braid. The thickness of it proves that there are several layers of hair hiding in there; folded over and over and arranged in a way so that the tips of the hair will still be at the end. Another design choice would have been to give Blondie a 70 feet long thin braid, but it would still have gotten stuck everywhere due to it’s length. So making a shorter and THICC braid was the best solution.

Conclusion: The braiding girls in Corona really know what they are doing and have bright futures up ahead.

ANASTASIA

Complaint: “Anastasia’s hair goes from short to long out of the blue.”

Backstory: When we first meet young Anastasia she has long hair, but when we meet her again as an adult she seems to have cut away her long locks.

But in later scenes her hair reaches her lower back??? But no worries! The animators haven’t been smoking gummybears while making this decision, since her hair was just hiding right under our noses all this time.

The secret: Anastasia hair is layered and she used her own hair to tie up the longest part.

The proof: When Anastasia removes her hat we can see a high ponytail; completely plausible for someone with short hair. But look at what’s keeping Anastasia’s hair in it’s place; it’s her own hair, twisted tightly in a loop. We even see this same technique used by all the burlesque dancers during “Paris Holds The Key”.

If this had indeed been a hairband of sorts then it wouldn’t have the exact same shade as her hair, nor would it have been drawn like this. But what about the hair at the nape of her neck? It’s just the shortest parts that did not reach the messy ponytail, a very common occurance for people with layered hair. But these short parts become practically invisible if you let down all your hair over it. Same thing if you let a professional do your hair, which happens to Anastasia after meeting Sophie (The secret here = Bobby pins).

For further proof you can below see real life examples of twisted hair, as well as short hair that does not reach a high ponytail.

Conclusion: Anastasia’s hair is misunderstood and deserves love.

I will now go eat vanilla ice-cream with hot raspberries. Ciao.

ANASTASIA

Complaint: “Anastasia’s hair goes from short to long in-between scenes.”

When we first meet young Anastasia she has long hair, but after we meet her at 18 then she seems to have cut away her long locks.

But then her hair reaches her lower back??? But no worries! The animators haven’t been smoking gummybears while making this decision, since her hair was just hiding right under our noses all this time.

The secret: Anastasia hair is layered and she used her own hair as a hairband for the longest part.

It’s s just the shortest parts that did not reach the messy ponytail, very common occurance for people with layered hair. But these short parts becomen practivcally invisible if you let down all your hair over it. Same thing if you let a professional do your hair, which happens to Anastasia later in the film.

For further proof you can below see examples of real long twisted long hair, as well as short hair that does not reach a high ponytail.

Conclusion: Anastasia’s hair is misunderstood and deserves love.
