MY FAVORITE DISNEY QUOTES

For with each dawn, she found new hope that someday, her dreams of happiness would come true.-Cinderella

Take it from an old spectator. Life's not a spectator sport. If watchin' is all you're gonna do, then you're gonna watch your life go by without ya. -The Hunchback of Notre Dame

I'm a damsel. I'm in distress. I can handle this. Have a nice day.

5 Movies Based Off Shakespeare Plays

THE LION KING/HAMLET

In The Lion King, Simba is interpreted as Hamlet. Both stories follow the lives of a prince seeking revenge on his uncle for the murder of his father. Nala is of course supposed to be Ophelia. The Lion King actually follows very close to Hamlet's original script.

SHE'S THE MAN/ THE TWELTH NIGHT

The 2006 movie 'She's the Man' is set in a modern day college and follows the story of Viola, who poses as her twin brother Sebastian, in order to be allowed to play for an all mens soccer team. Viola and Sebastian also star in the Shakesperian play 'The Twelth Night'.

ROMEO+JULIET/ ROMEO AND JULIET

Everything about these two adaptations are identical except for the time periods in which they're set. Small changes, such as the modern Juliet committing suicide with a gun instead of a knife, are made to the newer version. Both films have identical dialogue.

HAMLET (2000)/ HAMLET

Just like the modern version of Romeo and Juliet, the 2000 version of Hamlet stays very close to the original script. Modern touches, such as Hamlet inheriting a company instead of a kingdom from his father, were made to the 2000 version.

10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU/ TAMING OF THE SHREW

10 Things I Hate About You strays further from the original Shakespeare play it was based off of. The dialogue, setting, and events have all been revised in this modern version.

My Dream Cast for Hunger Games Movie

KATNISS EVERDEEN

(Jennifer Lawrence has already been cast ) :(

Hailee Steinfeld- She fits the description of Katniss perfectly, and we know she can show a tougher side after seeing True Grit.

PEETA MELLARK

Lucas Till- He looks like he can capture Peeta's sweet side perfectly, and his charismatic side too.

GALE HAWTHORNE

Trent Ford

PRIMROSE EVERDEEN

Elle Fanning

HAYMITCH ABERNATHY

Robert Downey Jr.

PRESIDENT CORIOLANUS SNOW

Kenny Rogers- He is one of the only celebrities that perfectly matches Snow's description of having very squinty eyes and the plastic surgery look to him.
