My Review of Ariel's Beginning
I really enjoyed watching this movie. We rented it for my daughter's birthday. I'm a big Disney Princess fan as you can see and although I think it could have been done better, it was still good. I don't believe I will buy it however and it definitely has nothing on my all time favorite movie, Enchanted.
The story line was likeable, telling us the story of what happened to Ariel's mother, why King Triton doesn't like "humans", etc.
The musical score to me was just "okay". I doubt they will win the awards that the origional Little Mermaid brags.
But the quality of the art was SPECTACULAR.
I would have liked to see the origional director direct this film if he is still around.
I am happy that they used the origional Ariel's voice for this movie and also Sebastian. Gotta love sebastian!
It's a good movie to watch once or twice. It doesn't have as many special features as I would have liked but it does have an adequate amount. There is a game you can play on it to find out which mermaid you are. That was fun!
I wouldn't pay $20.00 to own it though. I'll wait till I see it at the next yard sale :)

Enchanted Sequal?
I have heard buzz that the hit Disney movie Enchanted is working on a sequal! Maybe even a few!
I imagine the rumors are probably true considering this movie made a lot of money, particularly in DVD sales. I even purchased this movie because it's one you'll watch over and over again, an instant disney classic if you ask me!
What characters would be in the sequal? would they introduce new characters?
so what do you think. Is a sequal a good or bad idea? Regardless, it's gonna be a good idea for disney, I just hope they do the origional justice. It'll be near impossible to top it.

Disney Princess Party Ideas
Author: Cynthia Marcano
The Disney Princesses are arguably the most recognizable
princesses on the planet. Every little girl dreams of being a
Disney Princess and what better time to become one than on her
birthday? With so many Disney Princess party supplies available,
it can be overwhelming planning a party. Here are some ideas to
help you plan the perfect Disney Princess Birthday Party.
Princess Invitations
Invitations are hard to come by. They can be found in most party
supplies or discount stores. However if you are looking for
something unique, you are only limited to your imagination. For
those limited on time or creativity, here are a few suggestions.
If you are on a limited budget, try finding Disney Princess clip
art on the and printing your own made party invitations. Disney
Princess clip art is readily available online. You can keep it
simple by adding the graphic to the top and adding the details
below. Its a no fold invitation. Tip: Make the invitations the
size of a readily available envelope so that mailing them will
be a snap.
If you have a bit more time and don't mind a little crafting,
try something a little more out of the box. The Disney
Princesses are most recognizable by the gowns they wear. Create
a variety of invitations each focusing on one princess. On each
invitation you can place one princess in her well known gown.
Embellish the gown by making it 2D. Cut colored foam or fabric
into the shape of the gown. Glue accordingly to the clip art.
Embellish the invitation with fairy dust powder or glitter to us
modern folk. Search online for Disney princess fonts and word
your invitation using the official font of the princesses.
Princess Decorating Tips
A Disney Princess royal affair needs to have the royal venue.
Jazzing up your party space to be princess perfect can be easy
as you want to as elaborate as the princess may demand. Using
pinks and purples are the common colors for any princess, but if
you have a specific Disney Princess in mind, using the color of
their gown is your best option.
A princess thrown is a must. A simple and affordable thrown are
in your reach. Use a standard dining chair and wrap tulle on the
back of the chair and tie a big bow. Measure the circumference
of the chair's seat and multiple by 3 to 4. That is the width of
tulle you will need for the seat portion of the thrown. Use
fabric glue and pleat the top of the tulle. Allow ample time to
dry. Place books or something heavy on the tulle to keep the
pleat together while drying. Wrap the tulle round the seat of
the chair and glue the ends together. Do not glue to the chair.
Use pins to keep together at its end to allow the fabric glue to
dry. The chair should have a pleated look and the tulle should
reach the floor. You can also make shorter versions of the
pleated tulle and than layer one on top of the other going from
the bottom of the chair up. You can embellish the tulle with
glitter or sequins. Do this a few days before the party.
Whether you decorate a chair or use a Disney Princess plush
chair that doesn't complete the thrown just yet. All thrown need
a red carpet that leads up to it. You can accomplish this by
using red construction paper or a red mat and lead it up to the
chair.
You can even add a tulle canopy above the chair for some extra
flair.
Disney Princess scene setters are are fast and inexpensive way
to transform your party space into a Disney Princess ballroom.
There are also life size Disney Princess Stick ups to go with
the ballroom scene setters. You can choose one or all the
princesses to adorn your wall. The princess scene setters work
well as wall decor and a backdrop for photos. It is an easy
alternative to making a castle from cardboard and is fairly
inexpensive. Its also just a matter of adhering to your wall.
Princess Party Games
There are lots of Disney Princess games that you can choose to
entertain your guests.
Pass the Poison Apple - a Snow White version of hot potato
Find the Key - Cinderella is locked in the attic, find the key
and set her free
Mermaid Charades - Ariel has lost her voice to Ursula. Think up
popular themes or scenes from the movie and act them out.
Guess The Disney Princess Movie - Sing or play a song from the
movies and have the guests guess which movie it comes from
Dress Up - While this used to be for just girls, you can now
find Disney Princess dresses and Knights attire for the boys.
You can also turn this game into save the princesses or for the
boys, fight the dragon. The dragon is imaginary of course.
Disney Princess parties are fun and classic. Its becoming a rite
of passage for every little girl to have a Disney Princess party
within her lifetime. Embrace her royal spirit and create the
most magical and enchanting party that she and her guests are
sure to enjoy.
