Editor’s Note: Good morning, friends. On this last day of February, I’m glad to be one step closer to spring but closing the door on this year’s Love Meter series. Thanks so much to the writers who wrote such fun pieces this month, and all of you readers who joined in these HEAVY debates. Today […]
Read MoreEditor’s Note: Nicole is literally one of the kindest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met and another reason why I’m so thankful for this community because it has led me to great people. I love her enthusiasm for Disney magic, makeup and pretty things, and her amazing creativity. She is always inspiring me. Today, I’m […]
Read MoreEditor Note: Back in November, I had the total pleasure of meeting The Disney Project’s Keith Gluck for the first time. He was in the early stages of a project (of course) and it was so much fun to geek out about Disney and Christmastime, and get to know each other. It’s totally admirable how much […]
Read MoreI admit, even as a kid I was never really taken in by the Disney princesses. Or perhaps it wasn’t the princesses per se, but rather a general skepticism toward fairy tales and happy endings. Disney love was charming and sweet, but far from believable – even a six-year-old could discern that. Unsurprisingly, a little […]
Read MoreNote from Estelle: Last year, I had the pleasure of hosting some lovely writers around the web in my first ever Valentine’s Day series. Honestly, I’m not much a fan of this particular holiday but we have to keep February exciting somehow, don’t we? The LOVE METER series is all about the compatibility of the […]
Read MoreOne of my favorite parts about writing This Happy Place Blog is being hit on the head with a random idea and turning it into a living and breathing thing. This past month, some talented bloggers looked at the compatibility of some Disney and Pixar couples you should recognize in the Love Meter series. Really, […]
Read MoreThe Disneyverse is responsible for so many memorable tales of love, friendship and companionship, both expected and unexpected. But I have to say I really appreciate Pixar’s particular way of combining the complexity of modern relationships with age-old tropes that somehow always results in something beautiful, heartwarming and relatable — even when told through computer-animated […]
Read MoreTarzan is actually not a Disney film that I loved upon first viewing. As a young fan of the Disney Princesses, it was rather strange for me to watch a film set in the jungle, and about a man who had been brought up by a gorilla. However, many viewings later (thanks to my cousin, […]
Read MoreNote from Estelle: When I first emailed a few folks about guest posting for the “Love Meter” series (before it even had a name), I didn’t ask for anything specific. Just some way of dissecting the compatibility of characters we meet for a two hours or so in a movie. I was so happy when […]
Read MoreI have never been the biggest fan of Disney Princesses. It’s not that I don’t like them or their stories but I usually liked a different character (like Maleficent, not sure what that says about me) in the movie more or I just appreciated and loved the story. I guess that is why I never […]
