Day 15 - Favorite female character

Right until this morning I thought my answer was going to be Amélie Polain, but like a lightning bolt the realization hit me: Who's the coolest female movie character ever? Ursula from The Little Mermaid!

What's not to like? She's sassy, she's powerful, her motivation is not based on being accepted by a man (unlike that so-called strongwilled Ariel) and she's got her very own villain song (which I obviously first heard in Norwegian).

And she's an OCTOPUS LADY. Which are like 80 % cooler than
mermaids the last time I checked.

Truly one of the coolest classic Disney characters. And sadly also one of the most grisly deaths.

I'm listening to the Norwegian version...did they re-record the music? It sounds different.

The music is the same, but in the Norwegian clip the CD track is simply overlaid on the movie clip, so the sound is mixed differently than in the actual film.

Ah. That makes sense then. :)
