Is Twilight just another Disney Princess Movie?  email this discussion to a friend?

I've read all the books and I enjoyed them very much. I've seen the movie twice and while it doesn't follow the book, it's still very enjoyable.

I'm not trying to badmouth the books or the movies in any way. I'm just noticing that this theme in Twilight, well, I've seen it before.

Make Edward a prince and ta-dah! It's now become the traditional Disney formula and you get a new Disney princess, Princess Isabella (because we already have Belle). I even commented to a friend of mine that I'm shocked that Disney didn't jump on the movie rights.

And now there's the rumors that not one, but TWO of Disney's actresses are trying to get into the next movie. Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical) and Brenda Song (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody) have both been rumored to have auditioned. Twilight movie people are denying the rumors though.

But it makes sense, doesn't it? Disney recognizes it's own signature story when it sees it and if it can't run the show, it can at least throw a couple of their own characters in there.

It is rated 6.1/10 on imdb.com by general viewers, so I think it is just so-so movie. Some people even says that it is the movie about a vegetarian vampire so it is not exciting at all.

I thought it was exciting, but I really liked the books too.

You might be right. But I think it just proves that the writer was good enough to make the classic ordinary theme into the very interesting story. You might not need a great idea for a storyline to make a story interesting (and of course... selling; which is good for publishers).
Not many authors would be able to make the ordinary story into an enxtraordinary result. If you notice, what makes the difference between Hogwarts and Mallory Towers was just the little magic and a little fantasy. I believe it happened in Twilight as well.
Hope you would know what I mean :)

You gave me goosebumps! You have such a great point here. A great writer takes a storyline and makes it a very interesting story. I agree, I believe this happened with Twilight. The author twisted a classic story and poof - we're all hooked. That's so fab - I never thought of this before, I am so grateful that you pointed this out!

I didn't really think about it when I saw the movie but now that you mention it it does resemble the disney princess movies... interesting.

I don't think it's a Disney Princess Movie just because it deals with vampires... haha. =)
