Peter Pan? Excellent! Guess what's in my VCR? I watch it in chunks - 10 minutes before I go to sleep. Hopefully I will finish it before Disneyland?
And how femme Prince Charming sometimes looks?
I think it's the fact that they coloured his lips ... but you're on to something, here! Except for the lips (TERRIBLY overdrawn on Snow White, I mean really!!!) and the hairstyles, I think Snow White and Charming look v. similar. They're both slender enough that Charming's puffy vesty thing looks about as breast-a-licious as Snow White's conservatively-depicted busom. It was as though Disney was trying to get away with giving them as few distinguishing features as possible ... maybe that's why Snow White has to wear all those bows? I always found her expression to somehow ... SINK into her face. Like, her face doesn't change? I don't know how to describe this. Anyways.
But I kind of grew to like her, despite her screech of a voice.
I guess that's how most North American fans feel about Sailor Moon :P
But it's not like she did anything to lead to the happy ending.
Well, she's female. She can't do anything. Except clean. And I always had issues with her haphazard manner of cleaning the palace steps. If she's perfect to begin with, she certainly can't have a character arc. I suppose if you're in a fairytale, and you're female, you're born perfect, and have to wait for sixteen years practicing your long-suffering sigh until a hero gets around to saving you. (I know this is probably not the most original criticism about fairy tales ever.)
I also get a kick of the way she runs away from the Prince. I didn't find his apparation in the well to be all that scary - if she hadn't been singing in uber-soprano, she probably would have heard him coming. Running back a few steps would have been fine ... but she keeps on running! I love the way she runs in her clogs, with her arms held up in that impractical dainty way girls are supposed hold their hands when they run, hah hah.
