Once upon a time there was a wonderful Disney movie about a fairytale princess, but where did that story come from? The following article is going to dig out the story that inspired the stories that eventually inspired Disney. I am not an expert and I did not take weeks or months to research this, but I still found some pretty interesting and somewhat accurate information. So where did these stories come from? Let us delve in and find out.

Snow White:



This tale has been around for years and has been rewritten and reimagined many a time. For a lot of people when they think of this story...

Reading some of the comments, I realized there's much thing that people are wrong about princesses, well, at least I think they're wrong, so in association with princesslullaby, JonnaSe, lepetitsouris and CureDiana I tried to cover them as objective as possible. Thanks princesslullaby for awesome pictures.

Snow White

*She is stupid (for taking the apple, running away, going into a stranger's house...)

It's unfair making such a big deal out of it considering other princess didworse things.

DisneyPrince's Favourite: link//link//Princes
After yet another day doing as little as possible, I got to thinking about the Disney Princes. I for one include characters such as Simba and even Hercules to be Disney Princes however in the context of this spot I am only ranking the spouses of the Disney Princesses. Anyway, enough jibber jabber, let’s get going.

9. The Charming Prince
Due to the fact Charming is a lazy, pretentious, spoiled prince who we never see develop from, he is my least favourite. The only thing I like about him is his iconic status of being...

There are several rules to stealing another girl's man and Princess Pea knew them all by heart. For example, you must remember that the end justifies the means...some people will need to get hurt for you to succeed. Another rule is that you have to be incredibly sneaky and manipulative or you could get caught in your own web of lies. And of course, Pea's favourite of the rules: never give up. On the other hand they were all her favourite rules...considering she'd invented them herself.
"Honestly Jasmine, you're a saint," said Pea casually the next morning, while she and Jasmine were sitting...

My Favourite Princesses

Alot of these kind of articles have been popping up like daisies lately, so I thought "Why not?" -- Though mine will probably be so bad up against everyone elses, but I'll give it a try. I don't hate any of the Princesses, but there are some I like more so than others. I hope you enjoy my article and hope you agree with some of it. This will be from least favourite to most! Btw, I did NOT take looks into account when I made this. This is based purely on personality and stuff like that.


On to the list..

THE Princess and the Frog” does not open nationwide until December, but the buzz is already breathless: For the first time in Walt Disney animation history, the fairest of them all is black.

Princess Tiana, a hand-drawn throwback to classic Disney characters like Cinderella and Snow White, has a dazzling green gown, a classy upsweep hairdo and a diamond tiara. Like her predecessors, she is a strong-willed songbird (courtesy of the Tony-winning actress Anika Noni Rose) who finds her muscle-bound boyfriend against all odds.

“Finally, here is something that all little girls, especially young...

Okay I'm a week late but here it is, finally!

If I can be honest this is a movie I'm not really that excited about watching again. Any time I watched it in the past I wasn't that interested but now that I've been watching more Disney again lately maybe I'll enjoy it!

Tonight's rewatch: The Princess and the Frog
Last time watched: 2013

How much did I like this movie as a kid?
When I first watched this movie I was 16 years old and kinda going through a "I hate Disney" faze. It wasn't that I hated all the Disney movies since during that time I was still watching the classics like Hunchback of Notre...

My issues with these two aside, they do have pretty cool designs
My issues with these two aside, they do have pretty cool designs
I already shared some of these grievances in a wall post so the adrenaline is down but at least now I can somewhat organize my thoughts. In some ways this kind of a part two to my first rant.

Now, if you ask me the golden age of the Disney Princess lineup was that sweet spot when it was 10 princesses, I mean it was the first eight characters and films that most of us knew and loved, and grew up with, plus the two who kinda pretty much revived (no pun intended) the franchise and they fitted in quite nicely.

We even had a really cool website where the princesses talked to you, you could dress each...

Hi guys, so this article is literary my first impressions on the 2017 live-action reboot of the Disney Classic that we all grew up with it.

The Cast

I was initially a little disappointed that Disney didn't get either Emmy Rossum or Anne Hathaway for Belle, but one problem with the latter is that Anne will be typecast as a royalty. So, Emmy would be the possible choice due to her singing experience.
Whereas the Beast may either be play by Gerard Butler, Patrick Wilson or Joaquin Phoenix, but with Emmy as Belle. It would be like Gerry has played the Phantom's ancestor while Emmy is Christine's...

Thanks to Princesslullaby's recent poll questions, I ended up looking at my own childhood vs. each Disney Princess's childhood. Some of this is just painful for me, and there is no getting around that.

My categories of adverse childhood situations (some with severe adverse conditions) are based on evaluation from the domestic violence class I took. I'll be frank. I have my own dissociation/childhood trauma.


This is an article where I'm defining where I'd group categories of adverse childhood experiences, specifically for the Disney Princesses. I'll also add in how each princess copes with their...

Coronation Moments.
Coronation Moments.
Since 5 princesses were originally commoners, what you're going to read is actually a few coronation music that will suit when the these 5 commoners became princesses!

1. Royal Coronation Overture (Patrick Brill)

So the composer is modern, but this music sounds French and Baroque. I personally think that Belle and Cinderella will use this music since they are French.

2. Marche de Triomphe (Marc-Antoine Charpentier)

Another French Coronation, only this time by a French composer! Considering that this piece was use for the coronation of King Louis XIV of France (AKA The Sun King), it sounds pretty...

Note: Frozen is owned by Disney, not me.

A week had gone by since Anna and Elsa's accidental visit to the public lake. The 2 sisters wanted to actually swim. Thankfully Anna had a plan.

Anna walked into the living room of the kingdom and stated "We should go swimming today."

Elsa said "But I don't want us to make another embarrassing mistake."

Anna tried to calm Elsa down by saying "I went to a nearby private lake yesterday so I know how to get there. Plus it's not that far away."

Elsa asked "Are you sure it's not a public lake?"

Anna replied "I hanged out there for hours yesterday. Nobody...

I am really getting annoyed of this now. Layla Stepford is now doing this for a laugh rather than not meaning to do it. She once sent us an article saying that she is sorry, but obviously she did not mean it or that the cyber bullies just keep on going. Whatever the reason just pack it in. You are ruining what is a wonderful site for me and other fans not just of disney princess but of every Club on fanpop.

I don't know how they can keep going, knowing that their site would be blocked in like a couple of hours. I don't know why they bother. Annoying fans with racist, harsh and bullying statements...

After seeing MaidofOrleans list in the forum link, I thought it was a cool idea to list down Disney Princesses on the basis of which how I relate to them or not relate to them. So here goes:

DON'T RELATE TO

Snow White:

I don't really relate to her much. I cannot go from being scared for my life to cleaning the stranger's house in the same day. I'm optimistic but not like her, I'd be more like practical and cautious in her situation. I am also not as organized as her and neither as much persistent with my ways of living.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you

Hi everyone!

I was looking at articles that were posted before I arrived on Fanpop and there were several Fanpoppers that wrote this type of article. So I thought it'd be fun to write my own.


1. What name would you change yours to?

Anna. It's simple and it just sounds really pretty to me. It also means "grace" in Hebrew.

At least my name is graceful.
At least my name is graceful.


2. Which skills would you like to develop?

Literally everything Mulan did while training for war. I'm currently studying martial arts and it would be amazing to be able to perform at Mulan's level.



3. Who would you want for a parent?

James...

Hi everyone, this article is focus on my personal favourite of the Asian Elsa. I'll also put the ratings from 1 to 10 and what I think about their voices, now their singing is base on their performances on Elsa's signature song, Let it Go.

Cantonese (Voice Actress: Jobelle Ubalde)

This has gotta to be the worse dub of any Disney movie ever! I hope that there will be no more Cantonese dub for future Disney movies, the choice for this actress is ridiculous.
She sounds like she's having a nasal while singing and most of the time it's like out of tune! So sorry to all of my friends from Hong Kong,...

Does this look like the face of someone who doesn't care?
Does this look like the face of someone who doesn't care?
Well,this is the first time I've ever done something like this before.
If you remember my "Elsa isn't selfish,just flawed"article that I've written 7 months ago,ever since then I've seen more criticisms against Elsa claiming that she's selfish.And this time,they're even worse,so I decided to make a continuation of that article,a sort of "Sequel Article" (sorry if that sounded stupid).
Firstly,just like before,this is just MY opinion,this isn't the word of God and I'll use all the evidence and logical thinking to "build my case",but I just want to defend a character that means a lot to me....

Since I'm being so villainous, it seemed like an appropriate time to share MY OPINIONS on DP movies villains and rank them in order. (Joke intended :D)

So here goes:

1. Maleficent:
with her one nasty evil stroke, she set the stage, She didn't dabble in small time efforts. Her character is the most alluring and unique. She was a fairy, but an evil one. She has the aura of an enchantress. I loved her confidence when she took the stage while casting out the spell.
The best villainy traits: downright evil, need no disguise, doesn't flaunt but does every act confidently and with most style.

2. Mother...
