Picspam: Disney Ladies Casting

[lirazel]

So a couple of weeks ago, Sadie and I were having a typically silly conversation about who has an excellent enough face to play Rapunzel in a live-action version of Tangled. And, being Sadie (aka: ridiculously ridiculous and evil), she challenged me to cast ALL the Disney ladies. "I don't even care about Disney that much!" I shouted. But the casting director in me got the better of me, and now here I am with the most random picspam ever.

This was fun but also challenging (especially finding someone who was actually Roma for Esmeralda, since I had dedicated myself to getting ethnicities right as well. Oh, also getting the right ages was hard at times as well, but this is fantasy anyways, so it's not like it matters). So...here we go.
















































And, as a special bonus, a not-Disney casting for my favorite animated lady:





*Before I get any slamming of Emmy Rossum, I need to say this: she absolutely can act. Just watch her in Shameless if you don't agree. Girl is awesome.

OMG GET OUT OF HERE WITH THIS. GET OUT, YOU HEAR ME?

WHY IS THIS NOT REAL?

AND YOU INCLUDED ANASTASIA WHICH I LOVE AND ADORE. SO MUCH.

OLIVIA WILDE, EMMA STONE, KRISTEN BELL, EMMY ROSSUM.

UGH THIS IS SO AMAZING.

So, you're submitting this to Disney, right? ;)

I wish! Everyone should listen to me! :D

adlkjadflj this is fantastic and a super neat idea. I especially like your Saoirse Ronan, Kristen Bell, and Georgie Henley choices. Emma Watson as Cinderella isn't something I would ever have thought of, but I like it, and Dianna Agron as Aurora is perfect! Aren't you also a fan of The Swan Princess? :D

I'm so glad that you liked it! Some of these were super easy--Kristen Bell was the only person I could consider for Tinker Bell--but I had to play around with, say, Wendy for a while.

I did love The Swan Princess when I was younger! I haven't seen it in years, though--I should come up with someone to play Odette!

Wow. You did a shockingly good job of finding actresses who actually look like the animated version (to the point where some of them almost look like they were based off the person you chose).

So, this is fucking great.

[finkpishnets.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, this is epic casting. Completely perfect! I'm applauding you from over here. ♥

Some of them were hard. Others took no effort at all. But it was fun, and I'm glad that you think they work! :D

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was such fun to do! Glad you like it!

LOVE!

This is awesome. I think I am now obsessed with the idea of Kristen Bell playing Tinkerbell. I was smiling and nodding until I got there and then I just gasped. How has that not happened yet?

[magisterequitum.livejournal.com]

I second the Odette motion.

I love The Swan Princess.

I think I am now obsessed with the idea of Kristen Bell playing Tinkerbell.

I KNOOOOOOOOW. She was born for that part!

[madcap-shiny.livejournal.com]

YES YES YES YES YES TO ALL OF THIS.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

HEE! I'd forgotten about your Megara love!

[pocochina.livejournal.com]

yaaaay! this is great.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks!

THIS DISNEY KID APPROVES MIGHTILY OF THIS POST.

I would never have thought of Georgie Henley and Saoirse Ronan, but yesssss. And I have a huge girlcrush on Olivia Wilde so a special YES to her as Megara. (And to me Armie Hammer is Hercules, so the thought of them together = unf.)

Emmy Rossum as Belle! Belle is one of my favorites, and I just discovered Emmy’s acting skills, so I approve!

Freya’s FACE omg, of course she is Rapunzel (once you mentioned faces, I KNEW it was her!).

Look at them all! *goes back up to scroll again…and again…*

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! I was hoping my Disney Kid friends would approve! YAY!

once you mentioned faces, I KNEW it was her

She's where the whole thing started!

So glad you like it!

Kristen Bell as Tinkerbell! I NEED THIS.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW!

[ahigheroctave.livejournal.com]

I'm going to slam Emmy Rossum anyways. It has nothing to do with her ability to act or not so, but the fact that Belle is my absolute favoite and Emmy has just always bothered me.

That being said, I love most of your other choices. Amber as Tiana! Dianna as Aurora! Emma as Cinderella! And Karen being the Little Mermaid might be the only thing to get me to rethink my hatred of that movie ever.

That being said, I'd love to see you cast the Disney princesses as well. If only because I like pretty people.

I'm not sure about Emma Watson (she's way too fierce but maybe she could pull it off), but Tiana, Pocahontas, Tinkerbell and especially Aurora are perfect!

Great job, galpal <3
