meme: do you know my canon?

Mondays are always good meme days, so I am bringing back this one we last did in May. It's been three app cycles since, so it is time for us to do it again! The explanation below is stolen from [livejournal.com profile] rilla_myrilla via [livejournal.com profile] solo_sword.

Ping in with your canon (as specifically as you'd like for giant insane comic, SW and Power Ranger stuff). Then wait for other people to ping in with their canons! If you're familiar with it, tell them! And then, yay, new people to squee with!

Disney's Beauty and the Beast

[identity profile] bookworm-beauty.livejournal.com 2012-01-09 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
A small-town girl lives with her father (I think it's contractually obligated that Disney princesses do not have mothers, though evil stepmothers or foster fairy-mothers are optional) in France, but her dad is totally taken hostage by a scary beast in a castle! She trades her life for Daddy's, and lives in the castle with the beast all winter long, being entertained by his servants-turned-teapots et al. Eventually, she falls in love with the Beast, who, SURPRISE, is actually a prince who was transformed.

Also, Gaston is a jealous asshole and amazeballs, and he gets the best song.

The only Disney movie I saw at the actual target age. Was very confused over all of the plot, but thought it was adorable anyway.

I so wanted a Belle barbie. Never got one.

This is the only Disney movie I still own on VHS.

This is my favourite Disney right up there with Robin Hood.

Ooooooooooooooonly about a gazillion times.

(Am I allowed to say the modern Disney movie musical soundtracks were never the same afterward, without Howard Ashman?)

Saw this in the theater! Might have crushed on Gaston because there's something wrong with me.

Totally one of the best Disney movies!

I think I mostly thought that as a kid because the main protagonist was a girl who liked books, and omg *I* was a girl who liked books. Therefore it won all Disney movie competitions in my eyes for many years.

Until I discovered The Lion King.

One of the first movies on VHS I owned that was all MINE and not mine-and-my-brother's.

I saw this in IMAX! It was awesome! Admittedly, partially because I loved how you could tell when the animators originally got really lazy, because suddenly the villagers who were just rectangles wearing hats were FIFTEEN FEET TALL.

Seen it, own it on VHS & DVD, going to see it in 3-D when it comes out at the end of this week.

One of my favorites, seriously.

Gaston's song is my faaaaavorite.

I have seen this dubbed in German. It was...interesting.

Man, I miss playing Lumiere.

But really, easily one of my favourite Disney movies of all time.

And one of my favourite Broadway musicals, on top of that. :D

I had an unhealthy desire to grow up to be Cogsworth when I was a small child.
