The countdown is over and the results are in! DP club fans have voted for their favorite landscapes in DP movies. Surprisingly fans were more divided for choosing the lower ranks and had almost a united say about the top ones. Here are the results. Hope you'll enjoy.
11. Princess and The Frog
I was a little surprised to see it leave first. I know its not much liked around here but I thought having Cinderella and Snow White and Seven Dwarfs around, this might just skip being eliminated first. Well, I was wrong. Fans didn't really find the bayou magical and swamps looked garish and dull to them.
wavesurf: I don't like swamps, the bayou, or Louisiana. So this means I don't like the setting for The Princess and The Frog.
Sparklefairy375: Don't like the colors and lighting that used in those landscapes
blanche_rouge: It's mostly in the swamp which I don't find magical or romantic.
eternalbeauty: ^Agreed, there was nothing special. It's not a place for a love story/fairy tale.
classy_cindy616: I think I agree with everyone who picked this. I also find Mulan boring.
Emasomolanyiova: I like the bayou, tough. But I prefer others.
10. Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs
Fans felt that it wasn't the best animated with dull and dark colors used. They didn't find anything special in it and has much less to offer that others.
audreygrace412: This landscape never much stood out to me.
Sparklefairy375: I never like the landcapes from this film. The colors are dark, dull,and boring. The animation is not beautiful at all (though I understand it was because the technology that used in that era)
ace2000: ^I agree.
tiffany88: Honestly nothing special, I don't really understand how is this better than ex. PATF ? At least I've never liked it. Too dark, plain and lifeless.
9. Cinderella
I was quite taken to see Cinderella make 3 rounds as it literally has nothing to offer when it comes to landscapes. Fans finally agreed that most of the movie happens inside and what was outside was quite ordinary.
anukriti2409: I can't believe PATF got voted over Cinderella and Tangled. They are so generic and hardly there in the movie. Most of both movies is centered in towns.
Cinderella's landscape is literally blue washed and has nothing to offer. PATF was gorgeous with its water lillies and fireflies. Even the bayou wedding was gorgeous with such brilliant light and flowers.
ajotma: There's not much variety.
MaidofOrleans: Cinderella's landscape really doesn't have anything to recommend it.
M_gann: very little actual landscape. I find it very boring and generic. Even the picture of the castle looks very plain and boring from the distance.
tiffany88: Agree, Cindy's mansion looks very detailed from outside(and we saw part of the garden) but most of the scenes are from inside so...
Sparklefairy375: Most of the scenes are from inside the house and cadtle. The outside landscapes are just seen a bit and it's only some houses and nothing much interesting in it.
8. Tangled
Though some shots of the valley and castle overlooking the lake were beautiful but was again quite generic and nothing spectacular to offer.
jeangreyforever: I think Tangled's scenery was incredibly bland and more like something out of a Tinker Bell or Barbie movie and a mix-mash of different eras and countries that don't mesh well together.
anukriti2409: this is super generic with forest and a town by lake... nothing special about it.
M_gann: not many large landscape shots, and while the detail is beautiful, you don't get to see much.
Zanhar1: I'm simply a bigger fan of 2D.
audreygrace412: I agree with M_gann and zanhar1. I think the colors blend more beautifully and artistically in 2D.
MaidofOrleans: Although I like the setting of the town on an island, the rest of the landscape is pretty generic.
7. Brave
I was quite sad to see this go this early. I thought the forest was done very beautifully and the glens were gorgeous. But fans didn't agree with me. They find Brave's landscape dark and foggy for most part. And doesn't offer much except for the glen, its just dark, gloomy forest.
wavesurf: Same as the last four times I've said it. I just don't find it very...welcoming. Most of the landscape is dark, murky, and foggy. And the castle is generic-looking on the outside, and sparsely furnished on the inside. There are no whimsical touches to the castle. It is bare bones. The view from the castle is not very spectacular. And we just see Merida twirling. We don't see "the view" from the Firefalls. I really just don't feel all that attracted to the landscape.
jeangreforever: Very dark and nothing too interesting. It lacks the magic the others have.
disnerdtobe: Sad to see Tangled go. I actually kind of like the landscape with all the vibrant colors. That's where CGI actually worked, unlike Brave.
6. The Sleeping Beauty
It was obvious to see this leave next as fans had begun to eliminate the options which had more gloomy and dark color palette and offer only one kind of landscapes. So, while forests were beautiful, the colors and animation just didnt wow the fans much to hold it any longer.
ace2000: Too dark and artificially angular.
anukriti2409: Compared to others it is just one kind of landscape and is dark, even though quite beautiful in its detail. The lake adds to its charm but that's about it. I thought Brave had beautiful landscape with glen and open mountains and firefalls and forest also was magical.
tiffany88: Gloomy, dark and very very boring. Not breathtaking at all.
PrincessAyeka12: I agree with tiffany88.
deedragongirl: Depressive and morbid colours!
Emasomolanyiova: OK, I changed my mind. At first I didn't even notice this was still here, so I'm choosing this one because of those colors. I know, it was set in 1959, but still... It just doesn't compete with the others. My next choice would be The Little Mermaid. Also, I love Pocahontas' and Mulan's landscape <3
5. Mulan
I was surprised to see Mulan make it to top 5. While it did last this long, finally fans decided to let this go as it again fell into the same zone of dark and boring vistas.
People here were split in between Mulan and TLM.
jeangreyforever: It's a bit bland compared to the others. Nothing about it ever makes it stand out, which I suppose makes sense because it's supposed to be more subdued.
anukriti2409: As much as it has a variety of vistas from mountains to rice fields to gardenscape, it lacks the liveliness. The colors are dull and don't command attention like others. Its always only in the background, unnoticeable. Love the gardens though.
4. Beauty and The Beast
It was a close call with TLM but fans felt that TLM has much more landscape with ocean views, sunsets, sparkling lakes while BATB with stunning autumn colors offers just that only. Plus, the color palette of BATB is much more limiting than TLM.
disnerdtobe: beautiful but generic compared to others. I'm surprised mulan is in the lead. I find the landscape breathtaking.
wavesurf: Not what I consider colorful or beautiful. Like Brave, the colors are dark. There are few episodes of sunlight: the forest and the town at the beginning of the film--- and then the castle and the ballroom at very end are the greatest times when there is sunlight. Every other time, it is DARK in B and the B. TLM has more sunlight and more variety. There are turquoise, reds, pinks, blues, browns, whites, purples, and the sunshine happens quite frequently. Even the fish in the sea are colorful. Contrast this with the repetitive browns, beige, and oranges in Beauty and the Beast, the dark descending clouds, nighttime, snow, wolves, a mob with torches which barely light up the surroundings.... And I don't end up liking the setting for B and the B. I prefer to see a lot of nice surf on a beach, sunlight glimmering on water, a jaunty little town with an adorable outside colonnade where people dance...a beautiful lagoon set up...and a couple of nice indoor and outdoor shots of Eric's residence, along with a gorgeous wedding set up on the water... The last of which is unique among the typical "let's dance together" endings which typically happen, and are shared in both Sleeping Beauty, and B & the B. Instead of another round of ballroom dancing ( which we already saw earlier in the movie), at the end of TLM, we get the signature end of atmosphere uniqueness: a rainbow.
anukriti2409: While the countryside in stunning autumn colors are breathtaking, there's a short snippet of forest with a distant waterfall. The rest of the landscape is barren forest with ice and howling winds. TLM has beautiful ocean views and glittering moon-washed lake and sunset over the ocean.
FloraStella: I feel like the other ones have a more Tumblr-ish side to them. As a whole, the scenes are gorgeous, but when compiled together, it's like a mess of green and brown, like wavesurf said.
jeangreyforever: Especially after watching the live-action movie trailer.
3. The Little Mermaid
Although a lot of fans had started voting for this since Mulan, but I'm glad it made it to top 3. The landscape is just beautiful in this with stunning ocean views, sunsets, underwater world and lakes and the gorgeous Eric's castle. But fans felt it was time to let this go against the others two which were far more unique and visually breathtaking.
Sparklefairy375: The only beautiful landscape in The Little Mermaid is Prince Eric's castle. The others are generic and nothing special.
tiffany88: BATB really? It has such a unique and colorful scenery! After Pocahontas, BATB's landscapes are definitely my favorite.
Any way, only Eric's castle is spectacular, otherwise it is plain, dark and sometimes boring
PrincessAyeka12: Eric's castle is the most beautiful sight in the scenery. The rest is very blue, very beige and dark in places.
anukriti2409: While it has beautiful vistas of ocean and lakes and underwater world, the other two are simply mesmerizing with their colors and setting.
jeangreyforever: It hurts me to pick this :(
2. Aladdin
I think Aladdin has one of the most unique landscapes and the color are so vivid and sparkling. But alas, it was eliminated against Pocahontas which is a favorite among fans for its breathtaking scenery. Many fans felt that Aladdin is mostly centered in sand views and animation is bit cartoon-y.
MaidofOrleans: It's mostly sand. I prefer the beautiful watery vistas of the other two.
quishy11: It's a more cartoony looking and I'm fine with it but I like it less.
Aladdin: I don't like the vista, here. At least, with TLM, the sand is interrupted by ocean. And I definitely prefer Eric's castle, the beach with the surf coming in, the lagoon, and the charming little town in TLM over the dirty, crowded marketplace, the single oasis, and the few garden pools we manage to glimpse out of the corner of our eyes in Aladdin. We don't see much of the inside of the palace in Agrabah. We do see quite a lot of the insides of Eric's residence in TLM, and I have to say...an empty throne room and a bunch of pillows and curtains in Jasmine's room does not equal...atmosphere. Also, in Aladdin, it's just sand, sand, some sky scenes, and the rooftop of a Chinese palace during "A Whole New World." (The camera doesn't even let us take in/see much of the Chinese parade below...It's all still focused on that boring rooftop.) After the end of "A Whole New World," the audience is treated to yet more pictures of the dirty town outside the palace, a snowy hilltop, and sand, sand, sand. Yeez. Pocahontas and The Little Mermaid have more differences in scenery overall. There is more graceful or quaint beauty shown in each frame, and there is so much more variety in the landscape itself in both Pocahontas and TLM.
1. POCAHONTAS
This won hands down from all options. And fans had no doubt for choosing this as best landscape in DP movies. Undoubtedly, it offers visually breathtaking views and the colors and animation is also just excellent in every sense. It has the magical feel to it as well.
anukriti2409: The vistas are just phenomenal! They are magical with all the leaves and sparkling water, and beautiful nature at its best. The animation is beyond comparison. Although Aladdin has some quite unique views of yatch sails on river Nile and Supermoon and sunset over desert but Pocahontas's is just unbelievably breathtaking.
tiffany88: As much as I love the scenery in Aladdin(especially Jasmine's garden) I have to pick Pocahontas. The whole movie is full with gorgeous, breathtaking sceneries <3
Emasomolanyiova: By far! The Aladdin one is way too cartoony.
wavesurf: I would have preferred TLM's landscape over Aladdin's. I still prefer TLM's landscape over Pocahontas's. But Pocahontas's is my second choice.
MaidofOrleans: So much gorgeous scenery, and the colors are amazing! Everything is verdant and alive.
PrincessAyeka12: Beautiful sunsets, river, and woods. Also waterfalls and a rainbow over the water. Mists. Magical.
Sparklefairy375: The landscapes are gorgeous and beautiful, especially the river, woods, and the sunset <3
ace2000: Stunning.
jeangreyforever: Absolutely gorgeous.
FloraStella: by far
Evera: of course
Thank you to all those who participated and commenting in the countdown. Hope you enjoyed it! Love to hear from you all, as usual.

Thank you to all those who participated and commenting in the countdown. Hope you enjoyed it! Love to hear from you all, as usual.
Rose Bukater's 2 Hairstyles
Only 2 hairstyles made it as a possible hairstyle for a princess, especially if it's a princess from the Victorian or Edwardian Era set in Europe! I just love these 2 hairstyles as it looks very classy.
Scarlett O Hara's 2 Hairstyles
Another possible choice for the a princess, initially I had great difficulties over which one is the best. But ultimately, both are the best like Rose!
Liesl Von Trapp's Hairstyle
Honestly, this is the only hairstyle that I really like, it looks simple and yet elegant.
The Choice is Up to You!
So, do you agree with the choice that I made?
