TALE AS OLD AS TIME...|| Disneygirl

Tale as old as time

Since "Beauty and the Beast" is one of my favourite movies (ok I know I always say it for every movie but for a Disney addicted like me it's very hard just to pick one as my favourite), I'm gonna dedicate another post to it.

In particular, at Lincoln Center, Angela Lansbury sang "Beauty and he Beast" for the 25th anniversary of the movie (and it is the main reason for the remake coming out in 2017) with the great Alan Menken at the piano. 

Touchin' moment ever

Seeing this was very emotional. Not only because of the song itself, bu because it reminds me of my childhood, my moments with grandma and grandad on the mountains, watching the VHS of Beauty and the Beast and it was really nostalgic.

I was so happy when they decided to maintain the original soudtrack and especially this song in the 2017 movie (not sure 100% but in the trailer there is an acoustic version of "Tale as old as time" as I named it).

Take a look ad listen to this song!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL || Disneygirl

This week started with a lot of pression and so many things to do. 

Basically my life has changed in just one day. 

I feel like Dory when I have to explain things

It all started last Friday, the 17th, when I received a call from a School near my town. They said  they need as quick as they could, a German teacher for children between the age of 11 and 13. 

So here I am!

Now I'm teaching children basic rules, like grammatic and phonetics, and they seem enjoy it.

Although it is a good thing to have this job, the noise that children make is terrible, I always go home with my head hurting. And I also have to complete my essay and presentation to finally end the University.

I hope the will pay me right xD

So yes, in this period my life is a mess. 

That's why I haven't post in a while.

So how you guys are doing?

LAST BITS OF SUMMER || Disneygirl

"Moana is an upcoming 2016 computer animated, musical adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It will be the 56th film in the Disney animated feature canon. Originally described as a "mythic adventure set around 2000 years ago and across a series of islands in the South Pacific.", the film will follow the journey of a spirited teenager named Moana as she sails the Pacific Ocean to complete her "ancestor's quest".

A picture of the upcoming Disney movie "Moana"

Disney seems to have a thing with water this year. 

I'm not only talking about "Finding Dory", wich will be out here in Italy the 15th of September (I have already seen it because I couldn't resist any longer).

Yes, Today I would like to have a look at the new movie "Moana", which will be out on November I guess, or either in December here to then sell merchandise for Christmas.

I'm not going to read or write about the plot because I don't like spoilers but if you guys want to know more about, just click here :)

As you can see from this video (click here please), we've got two different trailers:

• In the first one there's a baby Moana (cuteness everywhere) which have some kind of special power with water, as she is not able to catch the shell up only by swimming. She plays with it and then the sea carries her on the sea shore 'cause someone is calling her name. 
• The second one explains in general all the characters involved in the movie: there's also a connection with "Demi Gods" (half human and half God) which is reliable in a certain way with the Hercules' plot. 

Let's go right into the ocean!

In my personal opinion, I don't think is going to be an original plot. I'm going to explain right now: there's something in this girl that reminds me of Lilo from "Lilo and Stich". Although any special power was involved, she had a strong attitude and bravery throgout the movie, which I think Disney workers have put also in the new film. As I said before, I see also a connection with Hercules! Do you guys remeber how the cartoon started? With the singing muses right? Well, the moving tattoo on Maui's shoulder does exact the same thing.

These are only my first impressions and I'm going to tell you whether I koved it or not when I will have the opportunity to see the entire movie.

Love, Disneygirl

ALICE IN WONDERLAND Figures Set || Disneygirl

Everytime I go in the Disney Store I always want to buy everything but as long as I'm 24 and I've got also other needs instead of spending all my money in games, I try to put boundaries and to buy only if it is strictly necessary.

Alice in Wonderland Figures Set

Today was not one of that day and my lovely Aunt decided to give me a treat and bought me this set of figures in Disney style with some parts in glitter.

First of all it cost 15,00€ (was 20 € before sales); It was put in a very lovely bag, with a zip: it's made of plastic and it has got a piece of a cardboard as a support

I really like the drawings in it: all the princesses
in a "baby" style, so cute!

As I told you in the post before (Disney Tag) my favourite Disney movie is Alice in Wonderland not only because the story is amazing, and also the original book itself, but because it has got links of some important events of my life.

These figures are as short as fingers, all in different sizes to reproduce well the exatc size of the character, and in some part of clothes there are glitters in the exact same colour. They have also got suppors to make them stand up wherever you put them

You can see the blue glitters on Alice's skirt...

...or on the Mad Hatter's Hat

At the moment these cuties are on my shelf, in my bedroom, looking at me while I'm writing down this post. A lot of cuteness here in the room.

Tell me what's your favourite Disney Movie and if you have some items send me a picture!

That's all for now,

Love, Disneygirl

The Disney Tag || Disneygirl

Yesterday I subscribed to a blog community called "Bloglovin" (suggested by a friend of mine who has also got a blog called paperplanepond if you want to have a look) and since I haven't got so many followers, I've decided to do this tag, inspired by happygomummy.co.uk.

Ok that was a lot of spam so let's go right into the Tag

My cuties in a box

• What's your favourite Disney movie?

As long as I love pretty all the Disney movie, I think I'm gonna go with Alice in Wonderland because the story and the Original book itself mean so much to me.

• What's your favourite Disney Character?

In every movie I find a character that I love so much, but it has to be both Olaf and the Cheshire cat. Can't choose between them, I'm so sorry

• What was the first Disney movie you remember seeing?

Before Mum bought me the English VHS of Winne the Pooh, I had a recorded VHS with the "Three Caballeros" (it is a movie with Donald Duck and his friends travelling through the beautiful countries of Mexico and Latin America in general) ad I can say I did consume that poor little thing. I was attracted by the sounds and the colours...you should see it btw. 

• What type of Disney item do you collect the most?

I mean, plushes are the best thing in the world. And also Tsum Tsums. I've got plenty of plushes, including Lotso, Cheshire Cat, two versions of Olaf (the basic one and the one with the Hoola skirt omg it's so cute), Dory, White rabbit, Alice and so on. When I went to Disneyland in Paris I did collect some of the beautiful pins there but I haven't got so many.

When Merida saves her mum from being a bear.

• Have you been to Disneyland

Just once, in Paris but I hope to see all the parks around the world, when I will be able to earn money

• What is your most emotional Disney moment?

My boyfriend and I always cry when we see the story of Ellie and Carl in the movie "Up". Oh gosh, we cry so much and then we cuddle during all the movie. It's a special moment for me.

• If you could pick any Disney character to be your friend, who would you choose?

I would choose the blue Genie from Aladdin, not because of the wishes but because he is very nice and loyal with people who love him

• Who is your favourite Disney princess?

I have a thing for Ariel since I was a child. 

• Who is your favourite Disney sidekick?

I love the development of Pacha, the man who is going to lost his home because of Kuzko: at first he is angry but then he become more and more brave

• Who would be your Disney pet?

Can I say wall-e? Because it is so cute even if it's a robot!

I've got two: Izma 'cause she is the funniest villain ever and Lotso, because he is only angry with the world and in some way I can relate to him (especially when I am on period)

• Which Disney film would you most like to star in?

Since Disney bought the Lucasfilm company, I would choose the Star Wars world. I would like to become a Jedi

• How old were you when you watched your first Disney movie?

I was very very young, I can probably say 3 years old but I'm not sure about it.

• What do you love most about Disney?

I love the fact that in every movie you can find a deep message both for young people and adults, and after watching a Disney movie you can feel something inside that is not easy to explain but it goes inside you. Like magic. Like fairy dust.

My favourite couple is Ellie and Carl 100%

• Flounder, Sebastian or Scuttle?

There are lots of kisses, but the cutest is the one between Anna and Kristoff. So embarassing but so cute at the same time.

• If you could live in any world from a Disney movie?

Probably Arendelle: it seems such a peaceful and quiet place, before the snow storm of course.

A vey merry unbirthday, to youuuuuuuu!

I'm going o sai Tangled because of the soudtrack

• Who is your favourite prince?

Flynn Rider/ Eugene and Kristoff

• Which princess would you most like to trade places with?

Ariel, because I love sea but I don't swim so well as probably a mermaid will do.

• Favourite Pixar movie?

Up for the plot and The Incredibles for the characters (my family and I like to say we're like the Incredibles)

• Favourite Disney quote?

"If you can dream it, you can do it" by Walt Disney himself.

Probably not. I'm ready for challenges, though.

Already Halloween? || Disneygirl

Jack Skellington and friends in a very cute
Tsum Tsum exclusive collection

I went to the shopping centre near home and, as usual, I entered in the Disney Store to find some news, so here I am.

Here in Italy we don't celebrate Halloween as much as England or America does, but in recent times people have become more and more interested in this particular event, even if it's only an excuse to celebrate in local pubs or to hang out with friends to have a pizza.

I can't say Halloween is my favourite festivity, because I'm a scaredy cat person, but when I see this kind of stuff it means that autumn is finally coming!

I find this Nightmare before Christmas collection really cute, all the plushes inside a cardboard coffin, also with the two Jack and Santa Claus...well done Disney!

I didn't pay attention to the price but I think it probably costs around 30 € or something like that.

A spooky love between Jack and Sandy

Again, these plushes were just in a corner at the end of the shop but I found it cute: the size is very big though, and inside very figure there is a metallic cable which gives you the possibility to move arms and legs (both Jack and Sally have got this feature). These costs 29 €.

Hidden cuties

Last but not least: Mickey as a scarecrow and Minnie as a pumpkin lantern. 

They were hidden from the other items and I don't know why: if there is new stuff coming in the store, clients should see it, love it and buy it.

Oh well, can't wait to eat Halloween cookies and sweets as an excuse to celebrate!

Love, Disneygirl

Feelin' like Hercules! || Disneygirl

Did Herc join CrossFit classes?

Ok guys it has been a while since my last post but like any other of you I went on holiday.

Sun, sea, beach, fun, relax. Oh yeah

But. 

September has just begun and I feel like this is the real start of a "new year": come back to holiday, start new activities and programm stuff to do.

Before I went on holiday I started a new type of sport called "Crossfit".

The main reason was that right next to home there is a gym and it was awful not to know what was going on there.

So one beautiful and crazy day I went there to pick up some information about that and I discovered Crossfit.

It' s an intense hour of workouts with pull-ups, squats, push-ups, weightlifting, gymnastic, running and rowing.

I think it was one of the best decision I've ever made: first of all, you cannot imagine how many muscles we've got and most of them are completely petrified by our day routine.
Crossfit is useful to discover what we have got inside and how to train it to become fit.

Second, you sweat. And by "sweat" I really mean slip on your own sweat after lesson.
Disgusting but amazing at the same time.

Third, after 6/7 lessons you start to feel stronger and faster in everything you do, from the morning when you get up till when you go to sleep.

Fourth, you can get fit without starving yourself (no more rumbling in your tummy, eat is a good thing, remember it.)
I was terrified when I joined the first lesson: I was lucky to meet such nice trainers that gave me the strengh and power to continue my workout. Then I started to feel happy after lesson because of my results and after one month trial I enrolled for an all-year round course. Hope it goes well :D

Love you all.

THE ARISTOCATS in real life || Disneygirl

Hi there

The weather here in Italy is so hot that I haven't been sleeping for 4 days and my mood is horrible at the moment. It feels like you are trapped in a heat jungle, and, believe me, it sucks.

that's me right now

But, anyway, yesterday (and also the day before) I went to a really nice cafè in Milano, called "Crazy Cat Cafè" and I went because there are cats in there! Ok let me explain this: I have never had a pet at home, and the idea to chill out a bit with a cat sitting right beside you feels amazing for me.

At first you have to wait outside for the waitress to arrive and than you can enter ( there are two doors so that cats cannot escape in the street); you sit at the table and order something (I chose an "Iced cat coffee" in salted caramel flavour: delicious!)

I also ordered the "monthly muffin" and then I discovered that I was not the only one who would like something to eat! (There are rules there, and one of that is not to feed the cats because some ingredients are toxic for them). 

The cats are extremely cleaned and curated so that the customers are free to relax and enjoy the experience.

It's very hard to resist: look at these tiny cute eyes!

Here comes another one

The prices are fair enough but you have to pay 1 € extra for the "Cat Therapy": I think that money goes for the health cares and cat food in general. 

If you want any other information about this cafè, here there is the FB link Crazy Cat Cafè in Milan and leave a comment if you would like to go or if you like cats as I do!

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 2017: NEW TEASER TRAILER || Disneygirl

Just let's talk about it: who in the earth doesn't love the story of Beauty and the Beast. 

I think it has been one of my favourites in the whole Disney production, with the original drawing technic but also the improvements of special effects such as the ballroom scene 

for that crazy person who doesn't remeber it.
Yes I'm judging.

How not to underline the flawless and the beautyness (is this even a world?) of the soundtrack! Anybody in my age remeber "Be our Guest" or "Tale as old as time" - even if the title of the second one is "Beauty and the Beast" but, whatever -

Ok, today the italian Disney YT account has decided to put online the trailer of the movie, which it will come out in March 2017 and YES I can clearly hear your voice screaming "WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR SUCH A LONG TIME" and i can really undersand you.

From that shortcut the first thing that pops out is the music, the same as the start of the original cartoon, and also at the end when they played an acoustic version of "Beauty and the Beast". 

Another particular I really appreciated was the choice of not to show any of the characters, so we can only hear their voices and be able to imagine them as we like, even if the eye of Emma Watson is clearly shown behind the red rose of the Beast.

Well well well, Disney Company has chosen to pump the expectations up: the collection of "Beauty and the Beast" 's Tsum Tsum will be available in August (and I'm on vacation, so I might not be able to purchase any of them) 

I hope not to be disappointed (in Disney I trust, no matter what)

If you would like to know what I'm talking about, here is the link to the trailer La Bella e la Bestia 2017 Trailer

Let me know in the comments below how exited you are for this movie!

Love, Disneygirl

FINDING DORY REVIEW || Disneygirl

Hi folks,

I was able to have a look at the new Disney Pixar movie "Finding Dory" which I think is one of the most waited film of the year.

Well,even if I'm not so satisfied when I generally watch the sequels, this particular movie has stupefied me.

The script is well written, and the characters are well explained and developed troughout the film.

It is not an obvious plot, and you can tell that also by the trailer: of course, there are al lot of childish gags but the message that the movie gives  is very deep and make adults think about it, also when you leave the cinema or switch off the computer.

The amazing Ellen DeGeneres gives her voice to Dory, and I like the fact that the structure of Dory's face is quite like hers. By the way, there are lot of funny characters, and I appreciate that the old ones and new ones interact together to save Dory from  danger (I'm not going to spoiler the plot or something else).

Talking about the merchandise, I didn't like the fact that here in Italy all the gadgets came out at May whereas the movie will be on cinemas after summer, the 14th of September! I managed to buy Dory and Destiny's Tsum Tsum and Hank's POP earlier, but with the sales going on right now I was hoping that merchandising were on sales as well: I went this morning to find out the opposite.

Are these two the cutiest things ever?

Take a look at the trailer if you haven't seen it yet Finding Dory_ the trailer and comment below if you have already seen the movie!
