For some lore on this review series
Up is another Pixar movie that I had actually seen prior. However I only watched once before a while ago and I don’t really recall liking it then. I think my initial thought was it was too much premise and not enough plot. I will say that was bad take to walk away with even at the time. However did my opinion of this movie changed on a second watch?

Green is also the only color that can be warm or cool as it is a neutral color. All this combined with that many women look beautiful in the color it’s no wonder that so many timeless movie costumes are green.
Green is a beautiful color that has associations with youth, vibrancy, greed, jealousy, renewal, growth, nature, abundance, success, peace and serenity. As green is a neutral color it can be warm or cool. In addition it looks great on different skin tones so it’s not surprising that it is often used for movie costumes.
This page is a ranked list of the 10 best green costumes from Fantasy, Sci-fi, and Superhero Movies. Really, any movie that is whimsical or supernatural. Green costumes from Period Movies and Modern Movies have their own rankings.
Articles of clothing, like undergarments, cover-ups, bathing suits, sleepwear, outerwear etc. are not included. The costumes are ranked by aesthetics, memorability and how it suits the character/film. Subjective opinions do influence the ranking.
Also costumes that I deem more blue-green (Teal, Turquoise, and the like) will have their own ranked lists.
Enjoy!

There is a lot symbolic meaning to the color green. It’s a color of youth, vibrancy, greed, jealousy, renewal, growth, nature, abundance, success, peace and calm.
Green is also the only color that can be warm or cool as it’s considered a neutral color. All this combined with that many women look beautiful in the color it’s not wonder that so many timeless movie costumes are green.
This is ranked list for green costumes from period movies. Green costumes from Modern and Fantasy/Sci-fi have their own rankings.

The List is mostly likely to change because they keep making movies and movies need costumes.

Green as a color has many meanings: youth, vibrancy, greed, jealousy, renewal, growth, nature, abundance, success, peace, as well as calming energies. Green is the only color that can be warm or cool as it is a neutral color. All this combined with the added bonus that many women look beautiful in green and it is no wonder that it is used for many timeless movie costumes.
This page ranks the ten best green costumes from modern movies— “modern” meaning the movie reflects the fashion of when the movie was released. (Period movies and fantasy/sci-fi movies have their own rankings.)

Read More →I tangently and briefly touched on this casting concept in my post ranking the songs from The Swan Princess, how is that for an introduction?
But in all seriousness there exists in musical theatre three roles from musicals based iconic French literary works where the principal antagonist is motivated by his obsession. Honestly there is more than likely more title than three* but Javert and The Phantom are from musical smash-hits and The Hunchback of Notre Dame/Notre Dame de Paris is more under-appreciated shows in the musical theater space, at least in North America. Note Dame de Paris is a little more beloved in other parts of the World.
So if you have guessed the roles are Javert, The Phantom and Frollo or as I call them “Obsessive French Man Musical Trio of Roles” though at first I used the word “triumvirate,” “trio” as a word works a little better with the music theme.
Originally I had thought there was one performer that had, at least some capacity, played all three role thus completing the trio but alas it turns out I was wrong. One, Joesph Tokarz was in ensemble of a Yeston’s Phantom production and not the Opera Ghost himself. However since I proved myself wrong there I decided to dig a little more to see if there was a Notre Dame de Paris former cast member who fit the criteria and I’m sad to say that we were so close. Wim van den Driessche was cast as Firmin and as one of the Phantom understudies for the canceled Mogador 2016 Paris cast. Could be another performer who has actively played all three roles of Frollo, Javert and the Phantom? Maybe but haven’t found that performer as of yet. But there is also hope that it could happen one day.
For the more well-known version the musicals many performers have played two out the three roles mostly The Phantom and Javert so let’s go for broke and suggest a musical performer for a Frollo who has also played Javert and The Phantom in high profile productions, Norm Lewis.

Disney Pins trading is one of those things I like in theory but not so much in practice. As in I don’t do it but I watch content of other people doing it.Pin trading seems cute and fun though a capitalistic, overconsumption thing. Again no real hate for Disney Pin trading.
Amongst the myriad of Disney themed pins The Princesses get a lot of sets. This new one is the Enchanted Gown set. There are 12 in total and they feature each princess in a pretty gown inspired by their fancy formal looks. Some are more “inspired” than others.
So I’m going to rank and rate these gown, just the gowns based on 100% subjective taste. And how well I feel the gown is “enchanted” or how much I like the design. Warning going hasher to gowns that didn’t deviate from original look.

Technically I have seen Wall-E prior to this blog review series. However the first time I watched Wall-E on small TV and I was half paying attention. The next two times it was put on in the background so again I didn’t really pay much attention. I think when the movie started I tried to watch it in earnest and then something distracted me away from the cute robot.
So really the fourth time was really the first time I actually payed attention to this movie. And is Wall-E actually worth mine or anyone’s attention?

Much like vibrant shades of red – burgundy and darker reds have the same passionate energy but because the darker reds have other colors and shades mixed in they have a timeless sophistication. Burgundy also has connotations of wealth and power.
This ranking is all about costumes that are darker red, but not purple. Colors include burgundy, maroon, crimson, red-magenta, etc. Think wines, not tomatoes. Bright red costumes have their own rankings. This ranking only considers costumes from Fantasy/Sci-Fi or any otherworldly type movie. Dark reds/burgundy costumes from modern and period movies have their own separate rankings.
Undergarments, cover-ups, sleepwear, outerwear, swimwear etc are not included. The costumes are ranked by aesthetics, memorability and how well it suits the character/film. And subjective options could have some impact on things.
