Wright create a new spellbinding chapter in this Disney princess’ saga. With new fishy friends and foes, and bubbling up with new beats, this prequel splashes onto DVD August 26th!

Hal from Malcolm in the Middle. He hilariously reminds me of my childhood.
I would say brad pitt
Heathcliff Huxtable – I loved the parts where they would pretend the kids were actually grown ups and show them what they actually got from trying to be a grown up. The show with son using monoply money to live on and trying to eat, get a furnished apartment and have a girlfriend. That was so funny!
My favorite celebrity dad is Mike Brady–played by Robert Reed. He always seemed so fair with his decisions and punishments. He was never worried about being considered “uncool.” There are times I wish I had that good of a grasp on things.
Thank you for the contest!

My little girl’s name is Ariel (3 months old).

i really like Johnny Depp, like once when he was daughter was really sick, even though he was in the middle of filming a movie he flew home to take care of her! plus he’s totally dreamy~
Mike Brady he always kept his cool and loved both his kids and his step kids.
ward cleaver
My dad is the GREATEST! He is a retired navy veteran and a retired teacher. But when I was in high school and did not have a date for the prom ( pretty girls never seem to have that problem) he found me a date. Thanks Dad
Fred Sanford from Sanford and son. His love for his son really shows.
I’d have to say Bill Cosby. I just loved the way he was so caring, yet he was able to bring so much humor into the household.
Archie Bunker is my favorite celebrity dad. He reminds me of my own dear dad. Seriously!
Brad Pitt is my favorite celebrity dad. Any guy that can have all those kids and keep his sanity has to be good.
I am so embarassed as I put in my own dad instead of a pretend one. Of all the tv dads I still love Ward Cleaver as he was so understanding, He was firm but you could see that he really loved his sons and family. Now I will go put a paper bag over my head to hide my red face!
My favorite celebrity dad would be Tim McGraw. He takes his girls on tour with him when they are not in school. And one more important thing is that he loves their Mom.
He’s fictional. He’s canine. He’s Pongo from 101 Dalmatians! Not only is he willing to run across the country in the snow for his kids, he adopts another eighty-four and provides for them, plays with them, and loves them.
The Beaver’s Dad.
my favorite hollywood dad would have to be brad pitt. he has really been putting forth the effort to make a loving and supportive home for children who probably would have survived. He has also help produced three of the pretties babies I have ever seen and really seems to get enjoyment in spending time with them. He has the means to spoil his kids rotten yet you can tell he wants them to be raised with a level head on their sholders so they dont let the fact that they have been in the spot light from birth (or adoption)..
I think Brad Pitt, he is seems so caring
Will Smith. He really seems to know how to balance family life and work.
I love Steve Martin in Parenthood! His oldest son in the movie needed alot of help – he was such a whiner. Funny scenes with the littlest boy. 🙂
Brad Pitt seems like a good dad!
Johnny Depp because he is so facsinating.
My Favorite Celeb Dad Would Have To Be Christian Bale Because He’s A Big Movie Star.
Brad Pitt is the papa!
Hmmm…I would have to say Will Smith as he seems to be very involved with his kids.
Gotta go with Cliff Huxtable (Cosby) from the Cosby Show…he always had an answer for everything!
I think my dad is the best dad you could ever have. He never fails to amaze me. He raised myself and my two sisters all by himself and did it with such style, grace and a wonderful sense of humor. I think now of all the embarassing questions and situations he was put through with three girls and yet besides turning red he never failed to answer them. He was always there to listen to our heartbreaks and he really did listen. He wiped away tears from our skinned knees and skinned hearts. He helped us to believe in ourselves and and never doubt that we were just as good as everyone else. He also taught us to appreciate what we had instead of worrying about what others had and we did not. Today we are all grown up and know that we are who we are today because of him. He has Macular Degeneration and cannot see anymore yet when we are with him he still sees our heart and souls. He is the best mom and dad I could have ever asked for.
Al Bundy. If you do everything the opposite of him you should be pretty good.
Michael Landon from Little House on the Prairie.
My great dad would be Andy Taylor because when he was wrong he told Opie he was sorry.

I would have to go with Heath Ledger. He was always with Matilda. You could just tell that he loved her dearly. Thank you!
My Two Dad’s Paul Reiser and Greg Evigan, I mean what is better than having two Dads, one down to earth and one a little spontaneously fun. Best of both worlds…on tv that is.

I would have to pick Ralph Waite as John Walton from the Waltons. That dad had a full time job for sure, and I think he was portrayed as a very upstanding and respectable person.
I always thought Mel Gibson would be a great Dad.
I always thought Mel Gibson would be a great Dad.
Garth Brooks. He has always been a doting, hands-on dad and gave up his career until his daughters are raised. He realized that they were more important that his ambitions.
He’s great!
Homer Simpson, because he is so funny!
It has got to be Brad Pitt!
