All of these so called “ugly ducklings” were already pretty!
Agreed!
@@leiamims3633 I agree, they were already gorgeous to begin with, but many just needed a confidence boost.
@@trinaq I agree!
I personally never found Allison's makeover to be a big deal, as it meant that she was bonding with Claire, who was giving her the affection that her own parents never had. Also, Andy clearly liked her long before the makeover even happened, since he stated that he liked seeing her face.
I agree!
Exactly. Andrew had already approached her several times and shared plenty of bonding moments with her prior to the makeover. I think you hit the nail right on the head by saying that it was a bonding moment for Allison and Claire, seeing as how most of the interactions between them up until then had been more caustic than sympathetic (mostly on Claire's part), so "why are you being so nice to me?" "Because you're letting me" becomes much more significant/meaningful.
"I don't remember Frump Girl", but I remember you." That line is so romantic, I love that Ian was emotionally connected to Toula's spirit, before her big transformation.
I liked this one the most because she was doing it for herself, where a lot of these makeovers were for other people.
She was already pretty in “She’s all that” she just had glasses on 😂
Toula was my favorite because she did it for herself, not for a men
These characters have always been beautiful. They just needed someone to show them. ❤️❤️❤️
show them how to be uncomfortable and conforming. anything but themselves..
Not necessarily, that is nothing wrong in looking better, but stay the same personality wise.
I LOVE Strictly Ballroom! 1. Because it’s Australian, 2. Because Fran’s transformation was slow and subtle and she wasn’t plastered with makeup to make her pretty. I could watch that final dance scene over and over! Amazing movie!
No DUFF? Not only did they not made her ugly by adding fake glasses or anything, but also, she's the one who took charge of her own make-over and stayed true to herself while doing so. Can't believe she's not here.
calling someone an ugly duckling says more about the person who has the nerve to call others ugly. This sort thing is part of the problem going on in society.
YES! MIA THERMOPOLIS' MAKEOVER FROM "THE PRINCESS DIARIES" FRANCHISE WAS ICONIC & I LOVED IT! 👸🏻💄👠🎞️🎬🎥🥰
Sabrina (Hepburn or Ormond version) should have made the list.
Barbra Streisand in “The Mirror has 2 Faces.” That and “Moonstruck” are 2 of my favorites!
My favs were Rachael Leigh Cook in She's All That, Sandra Bullock and both Drew Barrymore's entries. Maybe because been a fan of those for 30 years as well.
I absolutely love “Working Girl” and “The Devil Wears Prada”
Not saying she's not pretty, but Hermione's will always be my favourite ❤
I agree, though it's obvious that Emma Watson was always cute, even at a young age, it was when Harry and Ron started to realise that she was, in fact, a girl, especially Ron.
I thought she would be in the top 3... 😅
So, apparently it is on the outside that counts, since in pretty much all of these films/shows, once the female (or in some cases male) character starts to look good, that's when people start to like/pay attention to them, & it has been this way ever since My Fair Lady, & continued in films like Pretty Woman, She's All That, & The Princess Diaries.
So great to see Strictly Ballroom on the list.
Me too. It such a good movie. So underrated!
Aaaawwwee Man.. a lot of these scenes got me through my Young Lonely Male Teenage Years 😂
It's always funny when they try to hide the hot girl under your glasses and a ponytail when you know full well she is absolutely gorgeous exactly like that and without it
Selina Kyle was changed beyond the catsuit… she looked entirely different for the whole movie… limiting her to her alternate persona is a shame as it passes by her whole crisis around who she is really in the end…
Muriel from "Muriel's Wedding" should have made the list.
its movies and shows like these that gave millions of girls/women issues of their self worth and beauty
Remember, if you're gorgeous and you're reading this, if you want to be instantly ugly, just slap on a pair of glasses. This message has been Hollywood-approved.
"Tell me about it, stud". RIP Olivia. It was the new attitude as well as hair/make-up/wardrobe update.
The mirror has two faces!
24:59 if you put glasses with thick black frames on Allison now, she’d look like a pre-makeover girl in other films

Muriel’s Wedding. I would have picked that over Strictly Ballroom.
Chyler Leigh did the walk down the stairs thing yet again last year in the show The Way Home when going to her daughter's dance to be a chaperone. They even set it to Sixpence's Kiss Me again lol
At least she didn’t destroy the staircase this time.
My favorite transformations were TRUE changes in the character... not just exterior changes...Bette Davis in "Now Voyager" and Olivia DeHavilland in "The Heiress"!
Okay. Clearly watchmojo/msmojo hasn’t watched Ever After. Only one of Danielle’s stepsisters mistreated her. In top of that, Danielle’s stepmother/sister also mistreated her own daughter/sister. Please do your research
Beauty come from the inside
Definitely Cinderella (ever since my childhood) happy saturday afternoon, Emily, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
Love all of these but haven’t seen all of the movies
Omgggg St Trinian!! I never see this getting any mention anywhere ever!!! I love it!!!
I love that Mia’s makeover was number one it’s definitely one of my favourites ❤️❤️ as well as Sam, Danielle and Sandy’s and everybody else in this list 😊👍👍
I liked the makeovers of all the girls in 'House Bunny' :)
Bahaha!! I was watching and kept thinking "Where's Mia?!?! Where's Mia!?!?!" That. That one is my fav. Closely followed by Pretty Woman.
To Wong Fu, Thank For Everything. Julie Newmar:
After the strawberry festival
You have two of my favorite films on this list: Now, Voyager and Strictly Ballroom.
I wish the magical makeover from 1989’s Teen Witch had made an appearance, but otherwise this was a really great list! Shoutout to Strictly Ballroom!! ❤❤❤
Huge omission here, Stockard Channing in "The girl most likely to"
queen latifah in last holiday
Yes! And in her case (unlike a lot of these) it wasn't just about a more glamorous appearance--though that was there too and fun to see--it was a real transformation from inside.
My wish list:
Top 10 disney junior shows
Top 10 unimportant pokemon episodes (no catching new pokemon, no evolving, no gym/pokemon leage battle, no meating new rivle, etc)
Top 10 underrated animated disney series
Best disney movie per decade
Top 10 disney reprise songs (deleted included)
Top 10 disney villains that deserved a villain song
Top 10 disney couples with a tough start (Both movies and tv-series)
Top 10 what have I done moment excluding disney and pixar
Top 10 disney movie ideas (by you)
👍😉
I always preferred Velma, Laney, Fern, and Allison before the makeovers. I guess I've got a type.
Of course I was wondering who could possibly be number one
Miss congeniality deserves to be number one
What shocked me the most was Anne in that Princess movie. Not sure how well known she was? If she wasn't, that was clever. I didn't know her at the time
I think Mandy Moore was a lot more famous than her back then (I was in uni). At least in my country. So yeah, that was a clever move.
Eliza Doolittle will always be my number one❤ I adore Audrey Hepburn.
I knew princess diaires would be number 1. Part of me would have loved to be a part of the movie.
I remember "The Nanny" with My Fair Lady
Laney Boggs ❤❤
When narrators say Click instead of Cleek.. clique
How could you leave out Sabrina!!!
Agreed! This will always and forever be my #1 in this category...both versions!
No Haley Mills in Pollyanna?
Only halfway through watching but I hope Sabrina makes this list. Best makeover ever
You should include Emma Watson in Harry Potter in the ball dance scene
This year "Hitman" had one too! But It was a male character
The thing is, in the Grimm's Tale, Cinderella's father isn't mentioned. Does that mean that he just let his daughter be abused?
25:02 I thought we all agreed that was an anti-makeover
Allison didn't need a confidence boost. Most of her interactions were already with Andrew to begin with, and he was very clearly interested in her before she pulled her hair back and put on some different eye shadow.
Yes she did, she was sloppy and tacky.
Not an intentional transformation, but Adrian Balboa is an entirely different woman by the end of "Rocky".
I almost clicked away in disgust when Princess Diaries wasn’t on the list and then 😂 there it was at #1
I haven't watch the whole thing but I hope the main girl of off teenage witch is on here love that movie
I'm pretty sure this has been done before. Pretty Woman all the way.
The devil wears Prada was not the duckling movie. It was the princess diaries when Mia became princess of genovia
You should have included Cantinflas’ “A volar joven” where Miroslava Stern’s character transformation is amazing.
Sorry. What about Goldie hawn from death becomes her!! Best transmission EVER
Allison looked so much better betore the makeover though, this was a downgrade for her
Another moral of many of these movies is that it takes lots of money to look good.
Sad, but true.
Kinda sorta unpopular opinion but both Laney from "She's All That" and the girl from "The Breakfast Club" (forgot her name) looked way cuter before the transformation.
The Breakfast Girll looked gross prior to the makeover.
Afraid to admit this but saw a few of the films including Clueless recently and some like Pretty Woman, The Devil Wears Prada & Grease (more than once - know the script in some films by heart). BUT my favourite has to be the original of Cinderella - not becuase of the transformation because of the story & song which has stood the test of time. 🔔🌹❤🥁🍀👍
Edit error at 19:20. Text is repeated at different takes for different intonation. Weird that this went unnoticed.
Did maid in Manhattan dirty didn't even show the finished look
How is Sandy not #1?
The repeated audio 😂
Bs.. because she tioknof her glasses, she's pretty.. lord
WOW
No Allison’s makeover was never good.
In all of these films women are told they need to look better to be loveable and successful.
And the „better look“ is always sexed up to impress the men.
Such a horrible message!
There is nothing wrong in improving your appearance, but do it in moderation, and remain a nice person.
I don't see a difference.
Number 4 is the worst
I have a better name for these movies. the "hey! don't objectify women. Now look at me and how sexy i am~! movies."
I don't see any women of color? Dang Hollywood😭😭
What I noticed about the list, is that outside of JLo everyone else was white, apparently no other POC ever had a glow up moment in the history of movies, so they had to put an animated white girl on the list. Do better next time @msmojo.
All women? Pretty shallow for "MsMojo"....
How about Arnie Cunningham from Christine.
I don't know how to feel about this video. People don't need to be made over. I dress up all the time, but the concept of someone needing to change who they are or their appearance to be better is not sitting with me.
Girl Power - as the girls sang "Spice up your Life". This is a feel good video. You have pride in yourself and "dress up all the time" - not everyone can or does. But most people dream of a day that they might be whisked away to a spa (maybe), given a make over, dressed in lovely clothes - maybe taken somewhere special just for a day / weekend. Mightened meet a prince, be whisked away on a private plane to the opera, become a super hero but it would be nice just once to be special and live like royalty or a star. Only a person can change who they are on the inside IF they need / want too. Outer appearance is all cosmetics.
