Your Favorite Disney Princess

[Ben]

Wow, you really <I>do</I> feel strongly about that, huh?

[Once Upon A Dream]

But there are heroines who arn't princesses or Disney Princesses (Alice for exmaple).
Okay,Kida just got kidnapped and rescued (she's a damsel in distress).

And droosan-i can see why you like Kida but she will NEVER be a Disney Princess,she's not a poplure charcter and her film didn't done well in the box office,and what's so heronic about her? she's a damsel in distress,she's got kidnapped and rescued.

I was only pointing out that Kida is literally a Disney 'Princess' character (and having a little fun with that Princess image); Ariel is still my favorite, and likely always will be.

I don't think it's so much the popularity/box office of Atlantis that keeps Kida out, as much as the fact that she doesn't easily fit the fairy-tale 'mold' of the primary Princess characters (as Ben pointed out). This is also why Mulan and even Pocahontas seem like awkward additions, to me.

Oh,Ariel is my favorite,too (with Giselle and maybe Aurora too).
Kida is a real princess but i don't think that she will be in the franchise.
Good point about the fairy tale thing,Pocahontas and Mulan allways get pushed while Snow White,Cinderella,Aurora,Ariel,Belle and Jasmine are everywhere.

Mulan and even Pocahontas seem like awkward additions, to me.

Hence the suggestion of a "Heroines" type range, if the actually feel the need. I think box office/popularity plays a big part to be fair.

Otherwise, where is The Black Cauldron's Princess Eilonwy?

[Once Upon A Dream]

The Princess line is allready a heroines line.
And yeah,the box office plays a big part (that's also why Giselle is a Princess).

I feel strongly about a lot of things.

[Ben]

Good.

Based on design and appearance alone, who is the most beautiful Disney princess? Cast your vote!

[Ben]

Welcome to our boards SBA!

We do actually already have a thread similar to this, but I'll leave this open for now and see what reaction it gets.


Let the votes begin!

[Once Upon A Dream]

I made a Favorite Disney Princess poll but if this is just about look,then Aurora,Ariel,Giselle and Jasmine are the prettiest... but i"ll vote for Aurora.

[Meg]

Hm, these princess threads sure seem to be cropping up a lot latley, eh?

Anyway...The Disney princesses have never really overly impressed me as far as character design goes. They're kind of like the Barbies of the animation world.

[Once Upon A Dream]

I disagree,they're nothing like Barbie (and Barbie does appear in the animation world if you noticed).

[SleepingBeautyAurora]

Thanks for the welcome Ben and I appreciate you leaving it open. It will be interesting to see who gets the most votes!

I think you're missing my point?...
