Prompt #4: With A Smile And A Song

 You know what I can't get enough of with all the Disney movies throughout the years? The sound tracks. The amazing songs scattered throughout the movies will be stuck in my head forever. It's what I love about them.

Sometimes, I can relate a song to my own stories, actually visualizing a whole scene with it. Music can often give inspiration. Of course, the lyrics will never be 100% accurate for you, but the feel and vibe can. So that is what our prompt is about today.

Prompt: Go through your favorite playlists and find a song that relates to your story and write a scene to it. Doesn't matter what it is. A character's theme song? A song that might be for something off screen? Everything counts, jut write it, to make your creativity flow.

My Take

I can't share an actual scene with you, but there are a few songs that I love and can relate to my story. My favorite: 'Rewrite The Stars' from the movie 'The greatest showman'. There is a 'forbidden romance' in my story. Kind of like a Romeo and Juliet subplot.

Love Beyond Romance: Tod And Copper

Intro

This is the start of a new series on this blog that I like to call Love Beyond Romance. We all love our romance in novels and movies. Many have been upset that there hasn't been a love interest in Disney for a while...

But while I love a good romance myself, there is more to love than just romantic. Many characters have allies who they grow close to. But they don't even have to play a big role. Some friendships appear on the screen just a few times, but to me, it makes an impact. Let's of course also not forget about sibling love.

Today, we are going to look at an old movie about friendship, possibly the first one and one that really focuses on the friendship. A little fox, and an adorable little puppy that meet, and instantly become friends. Not knowing they should be enemies.

You've guessed it! It is time to dive into the movie of The Fox And The Hound. Analyzing the friendship between the two.

Prompt #3: Roles Reversed

Today, we are going to do something interesting in our prompt. In books and movies we always know who the villain is and who the hero. There is never any doubt about it. But what if the roles were reversed? That is a take we are going to look at today!

Prompt: What if the hero was the villain, and the villain was the hero?

They don't even specifically have to switch roles. Take any character from your favorite book or movie, or even your original character. Are they a good person? Turn them into a villain. Are they a villain? Turn them into a good person. We are not looking at them in a villain arc, or redemption arc, just a new light, and new possibilities.

Scar's Villain Arc: The Lion Who Lost Everything

Intro 

Recently, the new Life-Action movie of Mufasa came out, and we gained more knowledge about him, but most importantly, Scar. I am aware that the life action movies aren't always the greatest, but I still want to get into this. Honestly, in my opinion, this is the only life action movie that connects to the original movie. One where the original villain becomes the villain by the end of the movie, and doesn't become he hero.

To be honest, I think people misunderstood the reason why he became the villain. They say it was because of a girl, but was it really? In my eyes, that was only the breaking point, not the full reason.

Note: This doesn't make him less of a villain in the original movie, and I'm not defending his actions. But as a writer you can sometimes wonder why a villain became the way he was. So, let's dive into the movie and analyze Taka, before he became Scar.

Prompt #2: Looking Beyond The Fairytale Ending

 Disney movies, and most fantasy and romance books and movies for that matter, often end in a happily ever after. They get their dream, they defeat the villain, they find love and get married, and that's the end of the story. Or is it...

Prompt: Pick a character or couple. It does not even have to be your main character or couple. What kind of struggles do they have after their happily ever after? What is their first fight about? What mistakes do they make?

Oposites Attract: Naveen & Tiana's Romance

Intro

When we look at the older Disney Movies, it is always love at first sight. They meet, they dance, and they lived happily ever after. A perfect romance every young girl or woman would dream of. There isn't anything wrong with it of course. Sometimes a cheesy love story is exactly what we need, and I love those romances.

But more often than not, romance does not happen within a day. You don't look each other in the eyes and fall madly in love with having everything in common.

 One of the best romance examples in Disney, is from The Princess and the Frog. Tiana and Naveen are as different as can be. Not only on wealth and background, but on personality too. At first you might say they are completely incompatible with each other, but as the saying goes: Opposites Attract! 

Prompt #1: An Unlikely Pair

Let's start off with our first prompt of many to come. Of course, these prompts will be themed around Disney, but feel free to use this for your own book or other favorite series! The point is to get you writing, whether you are a Disney Fan or not.

So... Without further ado...

Pick two random characters from two movies, or just characters who have never interacted with each other before, to spend a day together. How does that go? Will they enjoy each other's company, or clash? How much chaos will the two characters create?

 Bonus: Make a list of characters and roll the dice. Let fate decide who is pushed together.
