Why is it that when people talk about Disney's live action remakes, they often only talk about Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid?
Don't get me wrong, I love all four of those!
But there are two (technically three, since one if them got a sequel) that are often left out!
Cruella!!
Maleficent!!
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil!
Those three were amazing!!

Cinderella is my favorite Princess if you’re asking me about Disney princesses. But I love Princess Irene from The Princess and the Goblin and I love Queen Lucy the Valiant, too.
Cinderella is awesome because the defining traits of a good person, a good woman and a good ruler are her superpower. She’s rewarded for having faith and being selfless and kind while she waits.
But I loved Sleeping Beauty, too, because she represented this precious, innocent, pure thing that was worth everyone trying to shelter and protect. Her movie shows how women ought to be treated.
And of course Belle. If Cinderella didn’t already do this, Belle would have my whole heart. I LOVE the moment in the animated film where she says, “wait!” and then, “…take me instead.” And the MUSIC does that, “isn’t this amazing” melody quietly to punctuate the moment. Because she’s doing the thing her fairy tale heroes would have done; she’s sacrificing herself and giving her noble word to save someone she loves, and it’s at the cost of all her own interests and dreams—and she came up with that idea all on her own. She gave herself up all on her own, when she hadn’t done anything wrong.
Faith! Sacrifice! Kindness! That’s what makes a good princess.
And in conclusion, this quote from the opening of the Princess and the Goblin, by George MacDonald:
THERE was once a little princess who—"But, Mr. Author, why do you always write about princesses?" Because every little girl is a princess. “You will make them vain if you tell them that." Not if they understand what I mean. "Then what do you mean?" What do you mean by a princess? "The daughter of a king." Very well, then every little girl is a princess, and there would be no need to say anything about it, except that she is always in danger of forgetting her rank, and behaving as if she had grown out of the mud. I have seen little princesses behave like the children of thieves and lying beggars, and that is why they need to be told they are princesses.

Miss Vogue: 5 Minutes With 5SOS
'The Future
Ashton: "I'm looking to get a place of my own soon, now I'm 21. I think me and Luke might get a place together, and anyone else who wants to join! So that'll be really cool."
Their Favourite Things In London
Luke: "I always like to go to a pub. We went to a funny pub yesterday - it was called a gastropub but none of us were that sure what that means. They served snails."
Ideal Destinations
Calum: "Ashton and Luke really like travelling but Michael's always pretty happy at home. We're all away so much that sometimes just being in one place for a while is the best thing. I think we're going to get to go to Asia and South America on tour next summer though, which will be really cool."
The Most Famous Person In Their Phonebook
Michael: "Taylor Swift's blocked my number!"
Ashton: "Is that because you were texting her all the time?!"
Most Starstruck Moment
Luke: "We all have the same one - Dave Grohl. He's always been such a huge influence to us so when we met him that was literally insane."
Who They Text The Most
Luke: "Oprah!"
Ashton: "Luke managed to start a rumour a couple of years ago that he texted Oprah all the time and there was this media frenzy about what he was texting her about."
Luke: "Yeah and you guys will never know wheher it was true or not..."
Style Rules
Luke: "Never trust anyone who wears white pants!"
Ashton: "When we're on tour we have four wardrobes, four sets of drawers etc. But somehow everyone's stuff always ends up in Luke's wardrobe and then he claims it as his own."
Dream Date
Ashton: "The blue avatar! I'd love to go on a bow and arrow date with her.
Calum: "That was my first ever crush too!"
Michael: "Ariel - I'd take her for fish and chips."
Sounds Good Feels Good is out today.'
