And here are my answers to Meredith's lovely B&B tag:
1. When did you first experience Beauty and the Beast? ~ I really don't know... It's one of those childhood memories that you feel like you've always known, but it would have been either orally or as a picture book. I didn't see the animated film all the way through till a couple years ago.
2. In what forms (book, movie, retelling) have you experienced Beauty and the Beast? ~ Book form and the 1991 film (which is my favorite animated Disney film to date).
3. Who is your favorite character in Beauty and the Beast? ~ Probably Belle.
4. What is your favorite song from the cartoon Beauty and the Beast? ~ (Can I say the Battle on the Tower and the Transformation tracks? I've listened to them over and over and over.) As for an actual song... Um.... I guess I'd say the Mob Song. The orchestration and tension are soo incredible. (And it goes right into my two favorite tracks above. ;))
5. If you were turned into a piece of furniture what you want it to be? ~ Oh my. For some reason a table is the first thing that comes to mind. (And think of all the incredible, luxurious tablecloths that you could wear like... well, you could think of it like a dress or a shawl.)
6. What would your dream cast for Beauty and the Beast be? (This can be as elaborate or simple as you desire.) ~ Profuse apologies, but I'm kinda drawing a complete blank on this one at the moment. :/
7. If your school were performing BatB which character would you want to play? ~ Well, I identify most closely with Belle, but I'm not really a singing-on-center-stage sort of person. Maybe a townsperson? Ooh! Or maybe Mrs. Potts. Yes, I think Mrs. Potts.
8. Like Belle, do you enjoy reading books multiple times? ~ YESSSSSSS.
9. If you were to write a retelling, what would you change? ~ I actually dream of doing this someday, but I haven't decided if I'd keep it super traditional or mix it up. Or maybe I'll write two. I do have a good idea for a different spin on the end, but I'm not sure how I'd exactly work it. (Though now I'm getting inspired and ideas are starting to spin. ;))
10. Are roses your favorite flowers? ~ I have to say sweet peas are my tip top favorite flower, but if we're talking English cottage roses... then I think they're most definitely #2 -- right before peonies, and cactus dahlia.
Thank you for the fun tag Meredith!
And everyone, be sure to hop over to her blog here to join in the party and see the other entries!
Nice answers! The pictures go so well with them!
ReplyDeleteHaha! We both want to play Mrs. Potts! I find this most amusing.
ReplyDeleteAnd I see we've both got ideas for a retelling spinning in our heads now. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Yay, you like the Mob Song too! I always thought I was weird to like that one so much. :) It was probably one of the most exciting moments for me in the live-action movie.
ReplyDeleteAhh, I like the idea of a different ending somehow. I'm not sure how that would manifest itself, but it's a good idea.
Lovely pictures, by the way(especially the first and last ones) and thanks for participating!
I love your reasons for wanting to be a table. ;D
