and we have the generic lineup of all of the Disney Princesses
Favorite keseluruhan Princesses
10. Aurora- Sleeping Beauty (1959)
This princess is just too bland for me. I remember sitting w/ my Aunt Ann begging her to fast ke hadapan the forest parts so I can get back to the fairies. Sure she's got looks- the chick was based off of Audrey Hepburn- but she's got little to no personality. Maybe I'd like her lebih if she had lebih screen time. I always say the movie isn't so much about Sleeping Beauty/Briar Rose/Princess Aurora (seriously, she has 3 names?) the titular character, but the Pari-pari who protect her and the fairy who wants her dead. I also questioned why her voice is all high pitched and innocent when speaking and then when she starts Singing it's like she turned into an operatic temptress. All in all, she needed lebih character development and lebih screen time. And the one sequel thing she was in didn't do much good for her either.
9. Pocahontas- Pocahontas (1995)
Okay, now we got a titular character who's actually a focus. However, Pocahontas doesn't work for me. I give pujian for what she does with saving John Smith near the end, but really that's all about it for me. I just never really liked her atau her movie. I thought it was a good gesture that her speaking voice was a woman of actual Native American descent (Irene Beddard) but her Singing voice (Judy Kuhn) while good just didn't fit for her character. I also never identified myself with her; I hated the outdoors, I wasn't Brave atau adventurous, and guys didn't fight over me, but even so I woulda chose the first Cinta over sequel love- just sayin'. In all honesty, I prefer the supporting characters in the movie than the titular heroine anyway. Maybe this also stems back from getting the sequel a little after doing a lapor on Pocahontas and thinking 'she's a real person, maybe we'll see some real things she did in the sequel'. Nope. I give the girl credit, I was pretty close to my Gramma until she passed away this tahun and thanks to Pocahontas I think it's okay to talk to the spirit of your dead Gramma.
8. Ariel- Little Mermaid (1989)
Ha, ha people are gonna hate me for this one. Let me start out sejak saying growing up I liked Ariel...but then I got older and I asked myself 'Jenna why did anda like this chick?'. First off, she's way too attractive and that made me feel lebih insecure about my looks I'll clear the air on that first. Now we dive into bigger issues I have with Ariel (and for the record, I'm sure Nostalgia Chick Lindsay Ellis agrees w/ me): she does not think things through and the poor choices she makes- for herself- have negative consequences not just for herself but for her father, and Sebastian (lest we forget Les Poissons), but also if Ariel hadn't been kissed she would be Lost from Eric forever and thought could have a negative effect on him too because he had feelings for her. That's another thing I don't think she loved Eric. Yes boo me all anda want but let me explain my reasoning: Ariel is a hoarder obsessed with humans and their things so naturally when she sees a human she finds attractive (remind you, based on looks and nothing else) she becomes obsessed with him and decides 'I saw this human guy and now I'm in Cinta and we gotta be together'. Too me, that's obsession (and stalking) not love. Ariel is not the best role model and I think anda can attribute that to male writers working on their first princess movie. Ariel makes poor decisions for her own selfish need- even when she knows how bad the outcome is- and in the end, everything goes good for her and she learns nothing and remains unchanged. Don't even get me started on the sequels!
7. Tiana- Princess and the Frog (2009)
Looking back on all the Disney Princesses, they weren't as serious as Tiana was. But in her defense she was a goal-driven woman who wanted to fufill a dream of both her and her late father even though it was a time when it was uncommon for women to be working, let alone business owners. Though I will say as a human, she's realistic. If I had a dream/goal I wanted to fufill but needed money, I would get off my lazy butt and work hard...but I'm lazy so in actuality I would say I'd do that, but not. I will admit, I would've liked to seen her lebih as a human instead of a frog, but then we wouldn't really have a movie if that didn't happen. All in all, I admire her perserverance and determination (and the fact that she was willing to work) and I give her credit for being the first African-American princess. Though I wish she wasn't as serious as she was.
6. Rapunzel- Tangled (2010)
I HATED when Disney advertised this movie and put the focus lebih on Flynn and changed the tajuk of the movie. Yes, they tried to branch out, but I would've preferred if the movie tajuk hadn't changed. Oh well, that's ranting. I give credit to Rapunzel for being able to do all that she did while locked in a tower and trying to keep an optimistic outlook. She was a fun princess who with the help of a bandit was able to escape her caged climate and get into the world and quickly have an affect on pub thugs, a serious horse, and of course Flynn. She's kind of in the middle because she didn't really stick out for me that much. I liked Tangled but I still wish it centered lebih on Rapunzel seeing as it's a Disney Princess movie. I will admit, I like her better as a brunette with short hair because I am a brunette and I was never able to pull off short hair. I like that she was also barefoot throughout her movie because I prefer being barefoot too.
5. Mulan- Mulan (1998)
I admire her, I do. She was brave, selfless, and put her family before herself. I can identify with how she feels about herself because that's how I feel about myself too. She's lebih low on this senarai because if we're being honest, I've only seen Mulan one time. I don't own the DVD atau video and I miss opportunities to catch it again when it's on. I honestly blew her off until I saw all the Cinta she got on here and realized that I have a lot lebih in common and a lot lebih respect for her than I thought. So...at least she gets in the bahagian, atas 5
4. Snow White- Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs (1937)
"The One that Started it All". I think Snow White's branded with that tajuk the rest of her life. She's pretty high on this senarai because I try to force myself to watch her movie whenever it's on (and I usually do) and I realized the girl is so optimistic and romantic but she lacks intelligence. Yes she does 3 incredibly stupid things (I'm saving it for another list), but she's younger than all the other princesses and doesn't think things through. But I Cinta how helpful and trusting she is and that she'll be a friend to anybody and in return, they'll be a friend to her. I do like this princess yes, but I've seen lebih renditions of this story and I like a couple variations of Snow White better than the Disney one, so I'm kinda cheating sejak putting her high up because I like other non-Disney Snow Whites too. Besides the princess, I Cinta her story. I give the girl credit for the scary things she went through and how her demeanor never changed and she held onto the hope that the guy who snuck over her dinding and frightened her, but sang to her, would rescue her and they'd ride off into the sunset and eventually marry. Though when I was 14, I don't think I dreamt of riding off with some dinding climbing Singing stalker and getting married. This girl needs to think more.
3. Belle- Beauty and the Beast (1991)
I Cinta that she's a brunette, she wears blue, she loves to read, she feels like an outcast, and she longs for lebih in her provincial life. This girl is smart and tries to do what's best for everyone while standing up to what she feels is wrong. I don't think I have anything bad to say about her except that she suffered Stockholm Syndrome and didn't try to escape when she had good opportunities...but then we wouldn't have a movie would we? I also think too much pressure was expected on her to break a decade long spell, but hei that's 'cause none of them seen anybody new in a decade.
2. Jasmine- Aladdin (1992)
She's not the focus of her movie, true, but she's the only central female character and they treat her well. melati, jasmine is tough, independent, fights for rights and equality, stands up for herself and for others, and I think she's one of the smart ones (she says she's a fast learner and it shows). There was a soalan on this site about which princess would be your wife, best friend, and enemy and though most chose melati, jasmine for enemy due to her attitude, I chose her as my best friend and I gave some pretty decent reasons why. melati, jasmine was also prominent in her sequels and spin off TV series- which I love- and even though she's not the central focus and only gets one song in her main movie (but we all Cinta it anyway), she is one I truly admire and wish I could be lebih like...even with attitude. Bonus melati, jasmine and Jenna (Jenna being me) are both products of 1992 so BOO-YAH!
1. Cinderella- Cinderella (1950)
Her name is part of my nama pengguna did that not give it away? I Cinta THIS GIRL! I Cinta her apperance, I Cinta her voice (speaking and singing), I Cinta her mannerisms and quirks, I Cinta that she's patient and obedient like me, I Cinta that she was the first princess to use sarcasm, and mostly I Cinta that she is the central focus in a Disney princess movie that ties not only the main plot, but the subplot together. I not only Cinta Disney's Cinderella, but any Cinderella...well, maybe not modern hari Cinderellas like Hilary Duff but I'm a fairy tale girl. I Cinta the Cinderella story and the fact that it's a rags to riches tale that can happen to anyone male atau female. I can relate to Cinderella in both strengths and weaknesses; we both tend to stay to ourselves and talk to Haiwan (don't judge me), we always do what we're told even if we don't want to, we keep hope that we'll get a happily ever after in the end, we prepare ourselves, we fantasize about better lives, we rarely get anything nice atau new, we try to defend ourselves even when others won't listen, we have dogs, we go without things a lot, and we don't get out much. I frickin' Cinta her no matter what anyone says.
These are my opinions, please tolerate them. komen-komen are appreciated, I like to hear what others think.
And now here are the pictures because I'm still not sure how to muat naik them under the princess name but anda still deserve something somewhat appealing in this artikel to look at.
"So is your name Aurora, Briar Rose, or Sleeping Beauty? You're the title character, can't you settle on a name?"
"If we're getting technical here, since you're a real princess you're gonna die at 21 Pocahontas...or should I say Rebecca!"
"You haven't had any interaction with this guy and you know you're gonna marry him? I know 16 year old girls should be thinking about boys but dang honey you went a little too far."
"So you work hard and the one time you wish on a star it kinda backfires on you. Don't worry honey, your mama is Oprah, I'm sure she can fix it."
"For your 18th birthday, you wanna see some floating lights? Have you considered a car or some money for college...maybe you're own apartment?"
"In today's standards, it's not so weird when a girl dresses as a guy, but falling in love with your boss dressed as a guy is somewhat weird."
"Hey, maybe you should run a background check on this scary person before you take anything from...oh, and you're in a sleeping death. I ain't kissing you."
"Hi yeah, we need you to break this decade long curse in a certain amount of time...no pressure on you or anything."
"If we discuss some attitude adjustments I think...oh what a lovely pet tiger you have. Why are you both staring at me like that?"
"Question, how did you fit that shoe into your pocket?"
