secondlinaTo celebrate the coming of two animated movies, The Princess and the Frog and Ponyo, who seem to have a similar theme (human falling in love with creature and creature falling in love with human and wishing to become human), I decided to draw fanart. But not ANY fanart. Oh no. Here is a list of Animated Beauties (both male and female) and their beasties. Lo and Behold, the pretty and the cute!
Bell opens the ball of course, she's the best-known example.
Tohru honda and Kyo soma. so he's technically not a beast per se. But it's so cute.
Tiana and Naveen. Brand, Spankin' new disney buddies.
Lucy and Aslan. They count as animated! There was an animation back in the 80's of Narnia (but it made even less sence then the Lord of the rings one.)... also, the lion counts as animated in the new movie XD
Lois and Brian from Family Guy. Because I like Brian and Stewie.
Liz and Hellboy. One of my favorites.
King Kong and his...ckicklet. Plenty of animated versions of those two. also, again, the newer version = lots of animation for the monkey at least.
Jessica and Roger Rabbit. God I loved that movie. "She's not bad. She's just drawn that way"
Frodo and Gollumm. What? I never said all the Beauties would be GIRLS. Also, I know they aren't lovers but they do have an close relationship (in the "I know i'm going to turn out like you and it makes me feel like I should take care of you" sense.)
Shrek and Fiona. Human Fiona is GORGEOUS.
Another Disney girl (Disney sure likes this theme): Eliza Maza and Goliath. I read the spoilers. I know they smootch.
Chihiro and Haku. Because you aren't loved until you are loved by a rivergod.
Ariel and Eric. I'm sorry, but before she turns into a human, I think this counts as an inter-species relationship. I mean...She's not a mammal since she doesn't require going up for air. Gills = lays eggs for babies = no vagina = other species = counts here.
April and the turtles. I think ninja turtles is the first time I ever though as a child " Wait a minute....isn't weird for a chick to hang out in dark alleys and sewers?"
Last but not least, Alicia Masters and the Thing from the Fantastic Four. Now, I know in the last movie, Alicia was black, but in all honesty, I hated those movies. A lot. And I loved her design from the 50's.
Missing from the list: Storm/Nightcrawler - The characters from Ponyo - Sophie/Bird!Howl - Fakir/Ahiru
This was really fun to draw. I want to color them all and put them on deviant art.
I strongly encourage everyone to go see Ponyo and The Princess and the Frog. The movies look really good (or at least visually stimulating) and both are distributed by Disney. This is basically Disney, testing his ground. Even though they now can match Pixar on the technical level in 3D animation, they know that 3D animation is Pixar's domain. They also know that traditional animation is seen as their domain... they have been gradually returning to traditional animation, testing the audience (namely with Enchanted.) The Frog Princess is them seeing if it's worth (on a $ squale) returning to traditional animation on a regular one-movie-every-three-years basis. So please, go see it in theatres. Disney apparently needs a big box-office blowout to convince themselves to re-hire their animators. It sucks, but Disney is first and foremost a business. But they offer a quality product, so why not give them a reason to make it?
Ponyo comes out in theatres here on August 14 and The Princess and the Frog on December 11.
(Did anybody else noticed that Disney used the same font as Nemo for the title of Ponyo?)
