Hi guys, an idea had struck me on writing this article. It is a comparison between Wicked and Maleficent, are you ready?
The Story
Although the film is like Wicked, but Maleficent is a darker and Gothic version of Wicked. Mainly because of how the film is portrayed.
Whereas Wicked is more lighter despite that it has some darker approach at some point of the film, so I would not label it as Gothic.
The Characters
Princess Aurora is very much like Glinda, because the 2 protagonists are optimistic and blonde-haired! They tried to persuade the 'Villain' (both Elphaba and Maleficent) to be good.
Fiyero is like Diablo, mainly because they are the guide and secondary characters in the story. They also provide comic relief to the story too!
Finally, King Stefan and the Wizard of Oz are similar because in both Sleeping Beauty and the Wizard of Oz respectively. They're good guys, but in both Wicked and Maleficent. They're bad guys!
No One Mourns The Wicked!
So, these are the similarities between Wicked and Maleficent, do you agree with the similarities? Do you have more? Write it down!

1) Josh Groban
I have always been a fan of him and after listening to his rendition of If I Can't Love Her from the musical version on Youtube. I personally felt that Josh should have been cast as the Beast!
2) Urs Buhler & Carlos Marin (Il Divo)
Just so you know that Carlos Marin had previously played the Beast in the Madrid production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and I personally felt that his voice is more suitable.
The second choice was his Swiss bandmate, Urs Buhler because he has both the looks and voice for both Prince Adam and the Beast.
3) Il Volo
The Jonas Brother version of Il Divo, they sound perfect and Prince Adam would definitely sound very operatic. Do you agree?
Let The World Be Done with Me!
Here are my 3 choices, do you agree?
Call me Anne. I wouldn't say my age because you would be embarrassed but think older then Elsa. I loved the 90s princess (Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, and Mulan) since I identify with them a lot. When I was in elementary&High school I did get bullied but that's a long time ago now. I love some of the articles I have read here on this site specifically the ones arguing about Cinderella not waiting around for a Prince to save her. Did you know that it took from the 1800s to the 1912 before Snow White's and Cinderella's respective stories overlapped? And in the 1913 some guy who had the last name Powers who would later help Disney with Steamboat Willie made his own film version of Snow White and borrowed the True Love Kiss from either Grimms' Briar Rose or Perrault's Beauty in the Woods.
12. Snow White
I don't really like Snow White, she was a little bit childlish and boring.
11. Aurora
She's so low because she didn't do anything interesting and we see her on screen only 18 minutes.
10. Tiana
She is good character, but a little bit too serious
9. Merida
She was interesting and funny, but I like next eight more
8. Mulan
I like Mulan because she's very realistic, but I don't like her pessimism
7. Cinderella
She is my favorite ,,classic" princess, she's interesting and dreaming.
I like her third movie ,,Twist in time" most
6. Pocahontas
I really like Pocahontas, she's very interesting and funny
5. Moana
I like Moana because she's adventurous and loves water
4. Ariel
She's great character, especially in TV series
3. Rapunzel
My favorite ,,modern" princess, she's funny, dreaming and clever
2. Jasmine
She's rebellious, and I love her quote ,, I'm not a prize to be won"
1. Belle
She's clever, dreaming about adventure and a little bit sarcastic
