Alright, I watched Rainbow Rocks and... yeah, my review of it is coming soon. But I have noticed something about the villains, the Dazzlings. First of all, they're really fun and 50x more likeable than Sunset Shimmer in the first movie, mainly because of how over-the-top they are. But I also noticed that they're similar to the Sanderson Sisters from the 1993 Disney movie Hocus Pocus.
Yeah, kinda surprised no one's ever mentioned their similarity. And trust me when I say there are many similarities, at least in my mind. 1. They're evil, magical beings (though there's a significant physical difference between sirens and witches, the Dazzlings are in human form throughout most of it so that doesn't count). 2. They're who-knows-how-many-years-old. 3. The fact that they're evil is played ridiculously over-the-top. 4. Their personalities are similar to a T: they have the leader (Adagio/Winnie), the more sarcastic one (Aria/Mary), and the nicest, ditziest and arguably cutest one (Sonata/Sarah). 5. They're defeated by a group of (presumably in RR's case) virgin teenagers. 6. Even the way they hypnotize everybody by singing is similar! (Battle/I Put a Spell on You)
Any thoughts? Any comparisons to other fictional characters? Post them in the comments below!
