Have you ever had a crush on a cartoon character? Explain your animated infatuation, or lack thereof.

It's never really been that I've actually had a "crush" on any given cartoon character, but I've always wanted to be the princess and have Prince Charming come in and sweep me off my feet.

As a kid, Cinderella was always my favorite Disney cartoon. I loved the big ballroom scenes, the fancy dresses, and the fact that they fell in love and live happily ever after. Over the past little while, Beauty and the Beast has become my other favorite. Again, I love the sweeping dresses, the romantic scenes, and the fact that he comes to her rescue and they live happily ever after.

When I was in New York this summer, I saw Beauty and the Beast on Broadway, and it just made my love of it even more pronounced. Honestly, I just about cried during the theme song, when they're dancing... both in the middle of the play, when he's still the Beast, and at the end, when he's the Prince. I'm not exactly sure why I was getting all choked up, but I think it had something to do with the fact that it's every little girl's dream. Most of us dream about having the perfect romance and having life turn out happily ever after. It doesn't always happen, but there's always that dream, and for me, it's been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I want the fairy tale to come true.
