Your Favorite Disney Princess

[Once Upon A Dream]

So,who's your favorite Disney Princess? mine is Ariel.

[Daniel]

You don't say.

I honestly don't know. Its a three way tie between Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora.

[ShyViolet]

Probably Belle, even though she's not actually a "princess" in the film. But she's the one I identify with most.

[Daniel]

Because of her love of books? Cute.

I remember when I joined, you had a real beautiful Belle avatar.

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).

It's a toss up for the classic blondes for me. Cinders and Aurora both have that certain something.

But she is a princess,she married a prince,like Cinderella.
Droosan-i think it's a heronie franchise,and altought she's not a princess she does fit the franchise.

[Meg]

Mulan. She's tough, independent, and actually has a brain. Belle comes in for a close second.

(Should Mulan count as a princess though?)

[Ben]

Mulan isn't a princess, though the legend is such in China that she's seen as close to royalty that there is, so in a way...

She a Disney Princess ,but she's China's greatest hero so she's like royalty .

[Meg]

Y'know, just for once, I would love to see a Disney flick that potrays a princess as a spoiled, snitty liitle brat.

That whould never happen.
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.





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.....

Oh,now i get you it can be really funny .

Paris Hilton.

Nothing wrong with that.
