HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW SNOW WHITE'S DESIGN IS THE MOST DIFICULT TO RECREATE?

@themousefromfantasyland @princesssarisa

@faintingheroine @thealmightyemprex

So, seeing the Disney Princesses magazines, books and merchandising over the years, I felt that most of the princesses, if correcting some details, could easily be made to look exactly like they looked in their original movies (for example, coloring Cinderella's hair and dress from golden blonde and blue scheme to strawberry blonde and silver-white scheme).

There is only one exception: Snow White, while close to the design of her movie counterpart, always felt... like something was of, but I couldn't articulate why.

The black hair and ribbon were there, along with the color scheme of the dress, I should be seeing the same character, right?

Then, revisiting the movie, its behind the scenes production designs, and images of merchandise, I could notice that there were differences:

Notice how the eyelids are more heavy, the waist is more realistic, and the cheeks are more round in the screencap of the 1937 animated movie, while in a book illustration recreating the story, the eyelids are lighter instead of heavy, the waist is thinner, and the face lacks the chubby cheeks.

The hair in the 1937 is raven dark, while in the merchandise, it receives a blue shinning.

The nose is less defined in the 1937 animated movie, while in the merchandise, she is drawn with a perfectly, well defined nose.

In the 1937 movie, you can say that since it was still the animators first foray with realistic drawn, and moving human cell animated characters, with the priority being making the character move in a expressive way, while they still had a basis for how the character would look like, that they were still creating the character as they animated her.

So in the actual movie, you can see her as a human character who is still raw, rustic... some contemporary viewers could even brand her as "ugly" or "weird".

But to me, those imperfections, born from the animators embracing their limitations with this early work in realistic human characters, make her more expressive, lively... they make her more human, beautiful in her imperfections.

Most artists working in the Princesses movies, shows and merchandising today, don't have to embrace the same limitations the 1937 animators had no choice but embrace.

So they can only work in making shining, more polished redesigns as A representation of Snow White... but they probably can't recreate the rustic, charming imperfections of the original Snow White.

Their technology, and medium is not designed for that.

Hi I've had several people ask me for my opinions on the movie so instead of answering them all individually, I'll give my honest opinion here. (There's a few focused one I'll answer but this is just my general feel for it)

Ok so, I'll be honest, not my favourite SMG4 movie, don't get me wrong I still enjoyed it, I enjoyed it a lot, but as a few people said, it felt more like a long SMG4 episode than a movie. I think if you see it like that then a lot of the flaws with it kinda melt away, at least to me lol.

We know the team can do absolute bangers (Western Spaghetti is still my favourite SMG4 movie you can fight me on it), I think they just missed the mark a bit this one, especially for someone as important as Mr Puzzles. You'd think if this was a finale to him they'd maybe, I dunno, show him more? It's hard for me to say personally what I would do differently, but I think what they did wasn't the best for him. I'm hoping he shows up again maybe, that'd be nice and would make the movie feel less anticlimactic for me and probably a few others.

Then again we've seen him non stop for like a month so I don't feel like complaining too much lol.

The gags though were super fucking funny and that's what I love most about SMG4, I ultimately don't care if the story is lacking, as long as I'm having a good time then the story can do whatever the hell it wants. I'm not a South Park fan AT ALL and even I was crackling at the South Park skit. The references and jokes, the live action bit, MEAT MALLET?! It's stupid shit like that that makes me love watching SMG4.

I do genuinely think a lot of you would be happier if you took SMG4 less seriously, no offence to any of course it's fun to take silly shitpost shows seriously, but at the end of the day they are shitpost shows, they're meant to be stupid and make dumb jokes, again this felt way more like an SMG4 episode than a movie and I'm fine with that.

Anyone saying SMG4 fell off or were horrifically let down or something like that is being silly, you can say you didn't vibe with the movie it's ok, subdue your expectations and watch Bob make a pickle rick joke with me, you'll understand my vision then.

I get the impression they wanted the movie to be more silly and stuff instead of serious like previous movies, Mr Puzzle is a villain yes but he's a horrifically cartoonish one. His main goal was to control the world though the TV or something like that, like compare that to Wren's goal, there's a clear difference in tone between the both of them.

Regards, I still enjoyed the movie, yes it was a bit over hyped but it wasn't a total letdown for me, it gave us Mr Puzzle characterisation which is nice, again it was REALLY funny, and I always love to the see the team try new and silly ideas! I hope they do more weird and wacky stuff like this in the future because you can tell the team was having fun with this! That's more important to me than anything else.

Also that song was an absolute BANGER, certified bop!!!!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

#smg4 #smg4 spoilers #I'm gonna watch it again tomorrow I have so many memes and art ideas to draw from it!!!#To be fair it's hard to beat western spaghetti because that is cinema. You can't beat that one

Charles Bronson

Charles Bronson,

the "death enforcer" died 20 years ago

Childhood in the mine, the name "Soviet" and the burp that started a career, everything you didn't know about the most famous icon with the grim look of cinema

Origins

Charles Dennis Buchinsky was born on November 3, 1921 in Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania, to parents who immigrated from Lithuania and was the eleventh of fifteen children, all of whom grew up in extreme poverty. In early childhood, Charles did not speak English, but he had to catch up quickly

Early fatigue

When Charles was ten, his father died and the boy followed in his footsteps by getting a job in the mine, like many of his peers, risking his life every day for about a dollar a week. Not too surprising that at that age the future stone face of American cinema was already a smoker.

War

After becoming the first of the Buchinsky family to graduate, in 1943 Charles enlisted in the United States Army and fought in World War II as a pilot in twenty-five aerial missions.

The name

At the beginning of his film career, Buchinsky had to stop for a moment to think about his own name. In the 1950s Senator Joe McCarthy launched a hunt for the alleged Communist who massacred intellectuals and artists across the country on charges of treason and collusion with the Soviet Union. Charles' Lithuanian surname might have made him an easy target, so the aspiring actor took on the all-American name of Bronson.

The first role

For his film debut in 1951's "Commander Johnny" Bronson resorted to a particular skill that no other of the suitors for the role of him had: that of burping on command.

European success

Before becoming an icon of genre cinema in America with "Death Wish" in 1974, Charles had difficulty breaking through in Hollywood, but by the late 1960s he was already a beloved face in Europe, thanks to western films such as “The Guns of San Sebastian” by Henri Verneuil and “Once Upon a Time in the West” by Sergio Leone.

Phobias

As a probable result of a childhood spent underground, Bronson suffered from claustrophobia, but he also had a constant fear of germs and infections, which perfectly explained his notorious aversion to handshakes.

Relations

In 1949 Bronson married colleague Harriet Tendler, with whom he had two children, Suzanne and Tony. The couple divorced in 1965 and three years later the actor returned to the altar with actress Jill Ireland, with whom he remained until her death in 1990 and with whom he had two more daughters, Zuleika and Katarina. Charles' third marriage was in 1998 to Kim Weeks.

The death

Charles Bronson died on August 30, 2003 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after a long hospital stay. The actor had been in failing health since the late 1990s, when he was hospitalized for hip surgery. In the following years, he was also diagnosed with lung cancer and Alzheimer's. His grave is in Brownsville Cemetery in the town of West Windsor, Vermont.

Charles Bronson,

il “giustiziere della notte” moriva 20 anni fa

L’infanzia in miniera, il nome “sovietico” e il rutto che avviò una carriera, tutto quello che non sapevate sull’icona dallo sguardo torvo più famoso del cinema

Origini

Charles Dennis Buchinsky è nato il 3 novembre 1921 a Ehrenfeld in Pennsylvania, da genitori immigrati dalla Lituania e fu l’undicesimo di quindici figli, tutti cresciuti in povertà estrema. Nella prima infanzia, Charles non parlava inglese, ma dovette mettersi in pari alla svelta

Fatica precoce

Quando Charles aveva dieci anni il padre morì e il bambino seguì le sue orme ottenendo un lavoro in miniera, come molti coetanei, rischiando la vita ogni giorno per circa un dollaro a settimana. Non sorprende troppo che a quell’età il futuro volto di pietra del cinema americano fosse già un fumatore.

La guerra

Dopo essere diventato il primo della famiglia Buchinsky a prendere il diploma, nel 1943 Charles si arruolò nell’esercito degli Stati Uniti e combatté nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale come pilota in venticinque missioni aeree.

Il nome

All’inizio della sua carriera cinematografica, Buchinsky dovette fermarsi un attimo a pensare al proprio nome. Negli anni ’50 il senatore Joe McCarthy dette il via a una caccia al presunto comunista che fece strage tra gli intellettuali e gli artisti di tutto il paese con l’accusa di tradimento e collusione con l’Unione Sovietica. Il cognome lituano di Charles avrebbe potuto farne un facile bersaglio, così l’aspirante attore prese il nome tutto americano di Bronson.

Il primo ruolo

Per il suo debutto cinematografico in “Il comandante Johnny” del 1951 Bronson ricorse a una particolare abilità che nessun altro dei pretendenti al ruolo aveva: quella di ruttare a comando.

Successo europeo

Prima di diventare un’icona del cinema di genere in America con “Il giustiziere della notte” del 1974, Charles ebbe difficoltà a sfondare a Hollywood, ma già dalla fine degli anni ’60 fu un volto amatissimo in Europa, grazie a film western come “I cannoni di San Sebastian” di Henri Verneuil e “C’era una volta il West” di Sergio Leone.

Fobie

Come probabile risultato di un’infanzia passata sotto terra Bronson soffrì di claustrofobia, ma ebbe anche un terrore continuo di germi e infezioni, il che spiegava perfettamente la sua nota repulsione per le stette di mano.

Relazioni

Nel 1949 Bronson sposò la collega Harriet Tendler, con la quale ebbe due figli, Suzanne e Tony. La coppia divorziò nel 1965 e tre anni dopo l’attore tornò all’altare con l’attrice Jill Ireland, con la quale rimase fino alla sua morte nel 1990 e con la quale ebbe altre due figlie, Zuleika e Katarina. Il terzo matrimonio di Charles fu nel 1998 con Kim Weeks.

La morte

Charles Bronson morì il 30 agosto 2003 al Cedars-Sinai Medical Center di Los Angeles dopo una lunga degenza. L’attore era ormai di salute cagionevole dalla fine degli anni ’90, quando fu ricoverato per un’operazione all’anca. Negli anni successivi gli furono diagnosticati anche un tumore ai polmoni e l’Alzheimer. La sua tomba si trova al cimitero di Brownsville nella cittadina di West Windsor, Vermont.
