Are you team princess or team villain?

[LoveDaisy]

With the announcement of the new villain land I’m curious are you team princess or team villain?

I’m team villain.

Ask any actor, it is much more fun to play a villain.

Like Hopper??

YES, I will miss Hopper in the Bug's Life Show at AK ... SO MUCH!

I love so many of them. LOVE Maleficent. My dream job used to be her in the Halloween parade but now she competes with the Dragon Tail holder in the daytime parade. Every time that fire blows ... The night we did Villains After Hours and I got to see the Dragon at night, goosebumps. And they played metal rock music with her, which is my choice of music. My BEST extra event experience was CLUB VILLAIN!!!!

Dr. Facilier ~ oh I love NOLA and the voodoo energy. I have several voodoo dolls. Ursula is my colors. SO many special villains. Halloween my favorite holiday, Haunted Mansion was my first ride (2 hour wait) Thanksgiving 1971. Still have pics of me in front of it. My kitchen is Haunted Mansion and just finishing up butler pantry to match.

BUT my childhood Villain and lifelong has always been Cruella. As adult I struggled with the puppy thing but the newest movie "Cruella" settled all that for me. LOVE her so much that my Grandma name is "Ella". When they are old enough (maybe 5) I'll explain why.

Villains have much more fun. And some pretty good songs.

SO MUCH fun, and the music is usually awesome!!!

Maleficent rules.

I love Maleficent aand have a little "shrine" to her at my house, but make no mistake, while I love teh villains, I do not root for them! I think I am actually team princess, but I appreciate what villains bring to the table.

The newest Disney Blog post about all the additions said "dedicated to Disney Villains. Inspired by the wicked characters fans know and loathe ..." WHAT??? I mean that might apply to lots of guests but a true Villain fan does not loathe them, we know there are two sides to every story, and even Disney has begun that journey with Maleficent and Cruella.

I mean one of my favorite Villains (not Disney) that owns a wall in my office is the Wicked Witch of the West ... and we all know there are two sides to that story (thank you WICKED)!

I don't think you have to root for the villain to be team villain. I just think you have to appreciate their storylines and contributions over the heroines.

Team Princess for me all day!

I respect the villains and what they bring to the story, but I'm not a big villain fan. I am very much looking forward to the new villain land - the drawing of it looks super cool.

You and I said almost the same thing.
You know what they say about great minds

 

[neverlandsky]

Villains! Oh there's a surprise.

I tend to lean towards Team Villain, but I think it's because they were the more interesting and well developed characters in the earlier Disney movies. This definitely improved with the Little Mermaid and the Disney Renaissance, but there's just something so interesting about what makes these "bad guys" tick. Take Maleficent (not the Angelina Jolie storylines)...while you have to assume there's more to it, she literally loses it because she wasn't invited to a baby shower! Aaaaand she can turn into one of the coolest looking dragons ever!

It was also pretty fun when the girls were little...they'd go to BBB and get their princess makeovers or just show up in princess gear. Then if we were lucky, we'd find a villain. It didn't even matter which villain...because most of them seem to bristle at the mere mention of a princess. We went to 1900 PF dinner right before MNSSHP one year and DD17 (who was dressed as Snow White) had some hysterical interactions with Anastasia, Drizella and Lady Tremaine. Cinderella was sweet and all, but just not nearly as fun and memorable.

On a side note, I think this may be why Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland are my favorite Disney movies. Yes, Peter Pan has Captain Hook and Alice has the Queen of Hearts, but there's so much to the storylines compared to a more straightforward hero/heroine vs. villain. The Cheshire Cat is my second favorite character overall and I remember being surprised when I saw him classified as a villain. I mean, I kind of get it, but it's not like he's feeding Alice a poison apple or anything like that.
