Since I can choose only one, it has to be Ariel. I'm a 'sucker' for the feisty redheads, both in animation and in RL. But I'm actually quite fond of all the Princesses ..
-------
Though, I've gotta admit, I never really understood the inclusion of Mulan in the 'Princess' line .. she's a strong female protagonist, sure; and an admirable character .. but a 'Princess' ..?
Heck, why not include Maid Marion from Robin Hood? Granted, she was merely the 'ward' of King Richard .. but she's closer to the station of 'Princess' than Mulan!
For that matter, all six of Ariel's sisters are also actual Disney Princesses, as well! Though, they've recently (finally) gotten their own small line of toys & dolls in the Disney Stores.
-------
Oh, and ShyViolet .. Belle does 'technically' become a Princess when she marries the Prince at the end of Beauty and the Beast (though, there is never any mention in the film of a wedding; nor of the King or Queen .. funny, that).

But she is a princess,she married a prince,like Cinderella.ShyViolet wrote:Probably Belle, even though she's not actually a "princess" in the film. But she's the one I identify with most.
Droosan-i think it's a heronie franchise,and altought she's not a princess she does fit the franchise.

That whould never happen.Meg wrote:Y'know, just for once, I would love to see a Disney flick that potrays a princess as a spoiled, snitty liitle brat.
The Disney Princesses are heronies that believe in themselfs and their dreams,not some spolied little brat like Paris Hilltion.

Thanks Dan! Yeah I love books!! Way too much, some people think.Because of her love of books? Cute. Smile
I remember when I joined, you had a real beautiful Belle avatar.
And thanks about the Belle avatar! I remember it.

Good point Drew!
I also think Maid Marion should be counted. She is definitely a princess. (and her movements modeled after Snow White, so how could she not be? )
I think Meg just meant that it would be cool to approach the story from a different angle is all. Also, in a way that was kind of done in Shrek the Third, with the princesses who fight with Fiona--although they weren't exactly the "heroines."

One thing I'd love is if instead of being "spunky" our "outspoken" (how original!) the princess/heroine could actually be quiet, demure and unsure of herself for a change. (and learn to have confidence) It would just be an interesting change. But then I guess you'd get a bunch of women's groups saying how Disney is sexist, blah blah blah.....
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
