Jasmin

Jasmin is a princess of the city Agrabah, in Arabia. She´s sixteen years old and the daughter of the Sultan, in the film she's married with Aladdin
About her personality, she's always very stubborn and a bit impetuous too. She's so intelligent, but she might be too arrogant sometimes although she has got a very big heart and always helps people who need her.
Her body seems like a sand watch, her eyes are brown, and her beautiful long black hair is in a pigtail accompanied of a elastic band with a sapphire.
She wears many outfits but the outfit wich she´s more relationated with is a costume composed by turquoise bloomers and a short t-shirt accompained of copper earings and gold shoes.

Dory From Finding Nemo: A Brave and Optimistic Fish with Short Term Memory Loss

Dory is the lovable and highly optimistic fish from Finding Nemo. While its true she has her quirks, you cannot help but love her honest and friendly character whose loyalty helps Marlin get through hard times.

Dory´s motto throughout the film is, ¨Just Keep Swimming!¨ A lesson that teaches viewers no matter what problems come your way, you must keep going and you cannot give up. A lot of times, if you just ¨go with the flow,¨ your problems will naturally sort themselves out. That is exactly what happens when Marlin needs her help. Seen in the video below, Marlin is ready to give up on his search for his son. He is frustrated and tired, and although he sometimes becomes annoyed by Dory´s positive attitude and constant singing, it is what gets him through his struggle.

 

So next time you´re in a bind, just remember Dory´s brave and optimistic attitude and JUST KEEP SWIMMING!

PETER PAN
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
Peter Pan is a caracter created by J. M.Barry in 1904. He was based on Barry´s older brother who died in an ice-skating accident when he was 13.
Pan in Greek religion and mythology is the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature, of mountain wilds, hunting and rustic music, as well as the companion of the nymphs
How was Peter Pan?
The "boy who wouldn't grow up" (Peter Pan) has appeared at a variety of ages. In his original appearance in The Little White Bird he was only seven days old. Although his age is not stated in Barrie's later play and novel, his characterization is clearly years older. J. M. Barry describes him as a beautiful boy (blue eyes and light hair) with a beautiful smile. He was valient, proud and arrogant.  Peter is mainly an exaggerated stereotype of a boastful and careless boy

The story

Peter does not know his parents. Barrie wrote that he left them as an infant, and seeing the window closed and a new baby in the house when he returned, he assumed they no longer wanted him. After Peter "ran away" to Neverland, he returned to find his parents forgot about him and had another child.
Peter is the leader of the Lost Boys, a band of boys who were lost by their parents, and came to live in Neverland. He is best friends with Tinker Bell, a common fairy who is often jealously protective of him. His arch-enemy is Captain Hook, whose hand he cut off in a duel. From time to time Peter visits the real world, particularly around Kensington Gardens. Wendy Darling is the most significant friend.
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->


Films

There were several films based in Peter Pan´s history:
Peter Pan (1953), film produced by Walt Disney
 Hook  (1991) film directed by Steven Spilberg
Neverland (2011)  is an adventure/fantasy miniserie

Hercules is a strong boy, son of Zeus, greek god. He is the hero of the film. He wears a blue layer and a armour golden. He had a horse with wings, Pegaso.



Argument:

The film is based on the legendary Greek mythology hero Heracles, (know in the film by Hercules, his roman name).
The Greek gods Zeus and his wife Hera have a son named Hercules. While the other gods are cheerful, Hades, jealous brother of Zeus, plots to overthrow Zeus and rule Mount Olympus. Hades remembers that in eighteen years, a planetary alignment will allow Hades to locate and free the Titans to conquer Olympus, but only if Hercules does not interfere. Hades sends his minions Pain and Panic to die Hercules. But Hercules, didn´t die.
Throughout the film, Hercules lives diferent adventures and he knows friends.
In the end, Hercules rejects the opportunity of be god for to live with his girlfriend Meg.

In this video Hercules trains with his friend Phil to becomes  a hero.

Alice in Wonderland.

Alice in Wonderland.

Based on the Lewis Carroll's story, Alice in Wonderland is a Walt Disney film that was premiered in 1951.


Alice is a little girl with a long blond hair and blue eyes. She always wears a loop in the head. In the film, she wears a blue and white dress.


- Argument.
At the beginning of the story, Alice plays with her kitty, Diana. She is imagining her own world, when she falls asleep. Suddenly, Alice sees a white rabbit who wear a jacket and a watch, and she runs to catch the rabbit. Alice follows the rabbit and falls into a hole. The rabbit go into Wonderland by a very small door, but Alice doesn't fit by the door. Alice sees a bottle on a table, she drinks it and she becomes smaller. When she goes into Wonderland, she sees a very big cookie, she eats it and she becomes bigger. In this place, she meets a lot of strange characters: the mad hatter, a caterpillar who smoke, a dodo bird and the March hare. Later, Alice is invited to a "not-birthday" party. She also plays croquet with the Red Queen. Finally, Alice wakes up and she realises that everything was a dream.

- In this video, Alice meets the caterpillar:
