What Disney Princess film do you hunk is overrated? Underrated? Perfectly Rated? I think Sleeping Beauty is overrated, and Tangled to a very small degree. I think Brave is perfectly rated. What about you?

I think Tangled is the most overrated DP film. I don't know, maybe it's just because it has a lot of obsessive fangirls, but I don't think it lives up to the hype, and I personally don't find it classic material. A lot of the phraseology and most of the music will be outdated in ten years, and, unlike the music in, say, Cinderella, it won't at least have classic style to it, it will simply be outdated.

I think PATF is the most underrated. I honestly don't get what is so TERRIBLE about it, and while it is objectively one of the weaker DP films, I definitely think it holds its own among them, and is at least enjoyable.

I think The Little Mermaid is neither overrated not underrated. I think it is given just the right amount of credit. It really is a masterpiece, and very creative.

Even though I like Tangled very much, I think this movie is the second most overrated Princess film. I do think this could be a classic but at this time, it is not and I get mad when people say its better than the films of the Renaissance. It does have potential to be a classic in a decade or so.

@Jayden-G That's something you will have to live with, the same way I have to live with people growing up in the late 80th/90th being all crazy over the Renaissance movies and snubbing the classic ones. It's more a matter of nostalgy than anything else. I have one favourite movie of each era, because each of them presented us with some outstanding work. But most people are so attached to the movies they grew up with, they don't really pay attention to the older ones, and oftern complain that the newer ones just aren't as good as the movies they feel connected with due to nostalgia.

Overrated: Beauty and the Beast, people treat this like God's movie, it's a good film, but it's not perfect. TLM too an extent.
Underrated: Pocahontas or Sleeping Beauty, you know how much hate these movies get? I get these movies are an acquired taste, but when you think about it, Sleeping Beauty's story is on par with BatB as far as plot, Pocahontas's love story makes more sense than Cinderella's. These movies have their merits, and unlike Tangled or BatB, no one will discuss these merits.
Perfectly rated: Mulan, PatF, Aladdin. They get the love they deserve. They're good films, but not that good.

But the difference between Cinderella and Pocahontas is that Pocahontas waa suppose to be big epic Disney movie based on a real even....and it's everything but that. Cinderella was suppose to be a fairy tale from the get-go (and fairy tales are per definition more about symbols and less about character development and realistic story telling), and people nowadays take this movie way more serious than the animators did. I guess, they knew what a horrble and unrealistic story it really is, so they did a lot of lambshading...it always cracks me up when the Grand Duke makes his speech about how unlikely love at the first sight is and when he points out that the shoe will fit more than one girl. Or when the fairy godmother is all "Well, naturally I'm your fairy godmother, just roll with it!"

Beauty and th Beast does Dave a few problems. After the first day Belle is at the castle, Maurice leaves the town to go and save her. Something there is supposed to take place siring a few weeks/ months, and the next time you see Maurice, he passed out in the middle of the forest. It would not take him weeks/months to get to the castle if he has been there before, and it took everyone else like an hour, so I think she is only there for a few says maximum. And Adam was 11 when he transformed to the beast, but on his portrait, he looks like he did not age a day. And on the montage in the prequel also makes him look like he has not aged a day. The midquels do not help with these flaws.

I agree with you as we'll about the midquels and animation as well Jesikaroo. Belle looks like 5 completely different people over the course of the movie

TOTALLY AGREE. I usually love all DP movies, but Frozen is THE MOST overrated movie I've ever seen, next to Brave.

Brave isn't a Disney Princess movie, and I don't think it deserves the hype. It's not that good that rumors should be coming about a coronation. How is Sleeping Beauty overrated? It's barely known, and there's no sayings in it's merch. Only pictures about a girl with a pink dress and orange hair, doesn't make sense one bit.

I think the overrated one is The Little Mermaid. It deserves most of it's hype, but there's too much hype. They focus on Ariel and forget Flounder and everything else that made the movie great. I don't think Ariel is the reason why it's great. The plotline, soundtrack and other characters were much better than Ariel. She's always in the spotlight and there's barely any merch about the others. I think the underrated one is Mulan. The soundtrack is great, so is the plotline and animation. It deserves medium hype. The perfectly rated one is Cinderella. I think the exaggerated it too much putting in the blue dress and the new sparkles. But the movie itself deserves it. It's beautiful, Walt loves it, and the kids love it. The only old movie out there that they REALLY like- and will never get old of.

I won't comment on Brave until there actually was a coronation.....
How is Sleeping Beauty overrated? I have to fight for this movie (and all the other classic Disney movies) in more or less every single countdown. Some for Tangled, btw, which was also criminally neglected when it comes to awards because it hit the theaters in an unlucky year.
I think Mulan used to be underrated, but has found a fanbase by now.
Aladdin is imho horrible overrated. You think Tangled will soon be dated? Take a good look at Aladdin. I bet, even kids nowadays wouldn't get half of the so called jokes in this movie anymore.
And Pocahontas is not necessarily overated, but people are always giving the movie a pass because of the great music and the great animation.

posted over a year ago

Even though Aladdin is one of my favourite movies, it has dated horribly in the past 20 years. But when I was little, I never paid attention to Genies pop references and jokes, so that doesn't really matter to me. Sleeping Beauty is overrated because the story is mediocre at best, has much more filler than Cinderella and Snow White, all of the characters except for the fairies are dull, and there are many plot holes. I think it is o.n par with The Sword of the Stone, but people only say Sleeping Beauty is better because of the animation and because it is a princess film, meaning more exposure. Both movies are boring and uninspiring.

Jayden-G posted over a year ago

Oh, I think Aladdin is outdated too, but that just sort of went with the feel of the movie, if you know what I mean, while the rest of Tangled is basically the quintessential fairytale, so it doesn't stand out as much.

Sleeping Beauty is a aquired taste, but too say it's overrated is wrong on more than oen level. If the movie gets any love, it's because Aurora's beautiful. No one even notices the animation, the story, the characters, the music, anything. The movie is a piece of culture, a piece of art. Which is much more than can be said for Brave, while I love that movie it's a plain movie and Merida hasn't had her cornation yet.

Jessikaroo posted over a year ago

Actually...no. I Yes, I like the Animation and especially the music in Sleeping Beauty, considering that I LOVE Ballett. I agree with Jessikaoo, it's a piece of Art, and for that alone it deserves more respect it gets. But it is also one of the most feminist movies I know (if you see the fairies as the main protagonists and Aurora only like the catalyst, like I do). Yes, the movie pretty much ignores usual story-telling by not focussing on Aurora. But honestly, I'm not sure how much of a disadvantage that is - sometimes "different" is not really bad. I also don't think that Maleficient is dull at all, neither is Prince Phillip, who always was and always will be my favourite Disney prince. And what Plot Holes are you talking about? I can't think of a single one in Sleeping Beauty. (What aggrevates me about Aladdin btw is that no one is able to recognize the other one...come on, he just wears different clothes, he is not THAT difficult to recognize).

Swanpride posted over a year ago

A plot hole for Sleeping Beauty is that everything that could go wrong with hiding Aurora happens all in one day, when it could have been evened out more. I have to agree that it is a piece of art, but that is ONLY because of its animation. When Phillip fight Maleficent, he does not say a word, grunt, or moan, which makes the film much more annoying to me, and how some of them don't talk when it would be necessary which takes away the attachment and the joy of the film. So are you telling me you would still enjoy the film and call it a piece of art if it had the animation of its immediate successors? But we will agree to disagree on Sleeping Beauty and that is alright.

Jayden-G posted over a year ago

He doesn't say a word because Mary Costa, the voice of Aurora, shoot out her voice and because of some peticularies in the contract it resulted in both the voices of Phillip and Aurora not being available for the second part of the movie. THAT'S the reason why there isn't even a grunt, Disney ended up with a huge problem during production and they had to work around it. And they did it by conveying a lot which couldn't be said through animation and by using well placed music (I can't stress enough how outstanding the music in this movie is). But you know what a good thing is? That I'm not forced to watch the english version of the movie. The German dubbing is definitly the better one and gives the movie a small edge over the english version which is good too but, I admit, can be more draggy because the dialogue is spoken less lively.

Swanpride posted over a year ago

Oh, and everything happening in one day...that's not a plot hole that's, if anything, a plot contrivance, but one which makes a lot of sense. If the fairy go overconfidend and make a mistake, it naturally happens at the very last day.

Swanpride posted over a year ago

I guess you are correct about that, but the problems I listed before still stand. I like Sleeping Beauty, just not a lot.

Jayden-G posted over a year ago

I think Sleepign beauty is apiece of art because of the story, it's classic. I could watch it forever, it's enchanting. Plus the music, score and characters are wirthy of being called art. There's more to SB than the animation,but I feel like the only one whos ees it.

Jessikaroo- No you're not the only one who sees it. But I couldn't watch it forever :)

Underrated: Snow White & the Seven Dwards

Perfectly rated: Cinderella

It annoys me when everyone thinks Tangled is overrated, it's a great movie and I agree with SwanPride when she says Aladdin will be outdated soon. Cinderella is perfectly rated, I don't really need to explain. Pocahontas is kind of a poor storyline IMO...John Smith is a boring character and so is Pocahontas. I love the soundtrack, it's fantastic, but as an overall movie, it's not very good and people only freak out about it BECAUSE of the amazing soundtrack.

posted over a year ago

Like sb, Pocahontas is an aqruied taste as well. You can respect it for it's score, music and animation. But as far as the story and characters go, you'll either get it, or you wont. Unlike Tangled which was created to suit everyone's taste.

That is true for Sleeping Beauty, Pocahontas, and PATF.

I said that because it is not one of the best to come out from the renaissance, it's like 4th or fifth, and I do know that The Little Mermaid started the renaissance and win two oscars and a golden globe. Some movies did better critically, and all except The Reacuers Down Under did better financially, which is why I said that. I know the importance of The Little Mermaid to Disney, and even the worst filing frill the Renaissance (Hercules) is still kick ass. The little Mermaid is a phenomenal movie in all aspects.

I dont think any of them are too much overrated.
I dont consider "Brave" a Disney Princess movie, as some others have stated as well. I do not think Merida deserves to be on the lineup or should be at all. It makes no sense.
But if I had to choose
Overrated:Tangled-to a certain extent. Brave if you're one that considers it one. ( non-DP- Lion King)
Under-rated: Sleeping Beauty, Princess and the Frog; Mulan ( Hercules-nonDP)
just right: Beauty and the Beast; The Little Mermaid

Unrelated, but you have an amazing icon!

I don't think Merida should be a Disney Princess either, but they confirmed her and started selling her with the others, so people started to include her in the polls and articles.

Tangled is the closest to being perfectly rated (maybe even slightly underrated. I think it deserves at least a 8/10).
