      Maybe it's like Elizabeth Taylor: technically they're blue but because of a slight genetic mutation (don't panic, I'm not talking about this Alexandria gene bullshit) that makes her blood verses more visible in certain light, they look purple. And let's just say that for Elizabeth, Hollywood always had the right light for it. A friend of my sister's has the same mutation but because her eyes are hazel, they appear vaguely orange (again with the right light and sometimes the right accessories).

      It's actually a genetic mutation (not that bullshit alexandria gene, don't worry) that because of more visible blood vessels, causes the blue eye to look purple in the right light (and makeup on occasion). A friend of my sister's has the same mutation but as her eyes are hazel, they have a tint that sometimes looks orange instead.

    @bennmordecai6395 3 года назад +15

    Aurora's eyes appear as three different shades in the film. They are either solid black in the wider shots, purple in the close ups or blue in the extreme close ups. Therefore her eyes are just as validly purple as they are blue, although you could argue that the violet gets a couple more seconds screen time. So they can be what ever colour you want, and I like purple better so 😛. I feel like her eyes appear more purple in the cottage scene (36 minutes into the film) because that colour compliments the warm lighting and colours of her peasant frock. At the end her eyes are blue because that scene is cast in a blue hue and her dress is also that colour. I also think the deep red of her lips makes a pretty combination with the blue, and this is probably why the cell painters chose to make her eyes this colour in this scene.

  • @michaelquelet9603
    @michaelquelet9603 3 года назад +31

    You didn't look at the scene where Briar Rose comes back to the cottage after meeting Phillip for the first time! In that one, in every close-up, her eyes look violet! The only reason I think you could still be right is because they look like a bluer violet in the close-up of her waking up, and so maybe Disney goofed and made them look more violet in the other scene when they are supposed to be blue. But the cottage scene I mentioned is huge evidence they could be violet! Also, as an asnwer to why would a Disney Princess have a non-realistic or humanly possible eye color, It could be because Flora gave her the magical gift of beauty, so she has a magically beautiful eye color!

    If I may mention that scene where Aurora returns to the cottage to discover her birthday cake and dress: her eyes happen to be coloured in the wide shots of that scene! But the colouring is a bit difficult to construe-it looks like a periwinkle or lavender or some blend of those two with blue.
    Regardless I like to think her eyes are purple since she has quite literal enchanted beauty; gaining an impossible eye colour would signify that in a very delightfully subtle way!
    EDIT: I’ve rewatched the movie and the aforementioned where she returns to her new Birthday Gifts, her eyes appear decidedly darker than I remember, definitely more purple than periwinkle, although this is from watching it on Disney+ so I’m unsure how true this holds for the original footage. Regardless this definitely does make the case a more something of a grating inconsistency. Although I do stand by what I said in the above paragraph.

      @@nickssummervlogs2474 I never said ‘enhanced’ nor ‘advanced’ beauty; ‘enchanted beauty’ is what I said. Plus I don’t understand what you’re saying here? Purple is literally an impossible eye colour; all across the Disney Animated Canon human characters are depicted with real eye colours all across the board. Moreover purple here is merely what is said to be Aurora’s eye colour across the various media depictions and marketing. As I’ve mentioned before, Aurora having purple eyes appeals to me as a small detail to remind you of the fact that Aurora was explicitly blessed with magical gifts.

    I've read that in some early sketches Aurora's character design was inspired by Elizabeth Taylor, and in those sketches the animators drew her with Taylor's eye color. And even though Disney eventually decided to go another way with Aurora's look, there are still some instances in the film where they used the "Elizabeth Taylor eyes". So that may be one source for the confusion.

  • @Heyyyyitsanya

    They’re blue because in the close up Aurora is in a dark tinted room, making her blue eyes appear violet. But people with violet eyes don’t even really have violet eyes, they have blue or maybe blue gray that resemble violet, like Elizabeth Taylor (Taylor’s eyes were dark blue but they appeared violet with certain makeup clothing and lighting) . So really Aurora is unique and different from the other princess in that she has those blue eyes that can appear violet. Whereas Cinderella just has blue eyes.

    I think Aurora’s eyes were originally going to be blue, but were instead violet, because Disney previously made a princess who is a blue-eyed blonde, which is Cinderella and both Princesses look very similar to each other. I do think Disney decided to choose violet for Aurora in order to avoid any confusion with another princess that made her debut in the same decade (which is once again Cinderella I’m referring to), overall Aurora’s eye color is beautifully unique and Disney should keep her with that eye color more often to show the character’s unique beauty.

    About the dolls, I don't understand why should they be confused with one another. Aurora's hair is much longer than Cinderella's, not to mention the different hair and eye color (NOT in merchandise, though. I'm still confused on why they changed it. Sure it could have been for color coding and distincting them, but Cinderella and Aurora were already looking different! What about Jasmine and Pocahontas, though? They both have long black hair and brown eyes and stay the same in merchandise. Maybe because Pocahontas' skin is a little darker than Jasmine's? I don't know...)
    EDIT 2: Actually, violet _is_ a natural eye color! It's very rare, but it exists 😊
    EDIT 3: Oh, right, the other (unofficial) princesses. But that still doesn't retract from my point, they could have kept her eyes brown. There aren't many blondes with brown eyes in Disney.
