The first three (Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora) are certainly Christian. At the time their movies were made (30s to 60's) there was no other option. It was just expected, even if it wasn't specifically mentioned.

Ariel is tricky because the underwater kingdom and I believe Eric's human kingdom are fictional and there is no reference to any religion. The same goes for Repunzel.

Belle however lives in 1700s France which was predominately Catholic. The same goes for 1920's new Orleans and Tiana.

Jasmine is Muslim as her father mentions Allah. However that is technically inaccurate as the movie seems to set in the era of the arabian nights, before the formation of Islam. So she should be worshiping the old pagan pantheon. On the other hand she appears to live in the Ta Mahal which wasn't built until the 1600's so let's just say she lives in a fictional Muslim country.

The last two are easy because they actually talk about their religion in the movie. Pocahontas believed in the law of nature (mother earth) and Mulan practiced traditional Chinese ancestor worship.

There were always other options- Judaism, atheism, agnosticism, or being pagan.

I see them all being Christian, with the exception of Ariel, Jasmine, Pocahontas, and Mulan. I don't see Ariel being Christian because of all the mythological aspects surrounding her and her family, along with the fact that Triton is linked to Greek mythology. Jasmine is most likely Muslim because her father makes praises to Allah throughout the movie. It kind of annoys me that Disney includes Jasmine in the Christmas CDs and have her sing Christmas songs when she's obviously not Christian, at least they have the brains to give Mulan and Pocahontas songs about winter instead of Christmas.

Yeah, but Ariel probably became a Christian after marrying Eric I bet.

Pocahontas did convert to Christianity in real life, so it actually would have made sense for her to sing Christmas songs.

Snow White, Cindy, Aurora- Christians (Catholics- at least, Snow and Aurora would doubtless be)
Ariel- whatever mermaids worship, then probably converted to Christianity after marrying Eric
Belle- Catholic
Jasmine- Muslim
Mulan- Ancestor worship/Taoism
Pocahontas- Shamanism
Tiana- Protestant
Rapunzel- Christian
Merida- likely a Pagan, it seems to be pre-Christianity Scotland but I could be wrong. She would probably be Protestant if it's sooner than I am thinking.

Snow White- since the movie is based in 1500's Germany, she mostly like would be a protestant christian (lutheran to be exact since the reformation did take place in the 1500's and was started in Germany by Martin Luther.)

Cinderella- she could either be protestant or catholic since the original story is debated to be based in Germany or France.

Aurora- most likely catholic since the church had high power in Europe during her time in the medieval period.

Ariel- she could mostly likely be Greek based paganist but could of converted to anglican or catholic christianity when she married Prince Eric.

Belle- since the movie is based in pre-revolutionary France, she would have had the catholic faith since it was a dominate christian denomination.

Pocahontas- she is originally native american, she mostly worship her Powhantan earth like religion, but she laters marries John Rolfe who is anglican/puritan in real life.

Jasmine- her story was based in early arabic times, where Islam didn't come into existance yet. However there were paganism (Sumerian, Mesopotamian, etc.) & possibly Judaism in the region.

Mulan- christianity and islam did not exist in ancient China during her time, there were many philosipical religions in China at that time. For example there was Daoism, Buddism, Conficism, etc.

Tiana- since the movie was based in the 1920's New Orleans. There was a mix of protestanism & catholicism in the region. Also, voodoo did exist as well.

Rapunzel- she is another character where her movie was based during the existance of protestanism. She dates back to the 1500's Germany, however, the movie seem to be based in the later period where there were conflicts between protestants and catholics in the region. I estimate her exact time period to between the time of the Spanish Inquisition & The Thirty Years War. She was either protestant or catholic when she was reunited with her parents.

Merida- again based in the medieval period. Depending on what region of Scotland or tribe she was from, she would either been a Germanic or Roman paganist or converted to catholicism depending what part of the medieval period she originated from.

Anna & Elsa - they are based in the late 1700's or Early 1800's (estimated to be during or in the middle of the Napoleanic Era) Norway. They would be part of the Anglican Church since some monarchy separated from the church earlier in the 1500's and 1600's to secure their line of the throne or to not let the Catholic Church influence their rule or their kingdom's religious freedom. Also, Anglicans had their own bishops. The trolls (and possibly Kristoff, since he is adopted by the trolls.) could of have knowledge or praticed Germanic paganism from the medieval period.

The Church of England didn't exist in the 14th century, the time where Sleeping Beauty is set, so it follows Aurora must've been Catholic.

Cinderella, Belle and Snow White are in fact Christian because Cinderella had faith that she would find love and Belle showed the Beast who he was on the inside and Snow White prayed for God's blessing on the seven dwarfs.

Well, Walt Disney was actually a Christian himself.... So... I think most of them might be actually Christians or Catholics, because most royals are catholics. So I see it this way:

Cinderella: Catholic
Aurora: Catholic
Snow White: Catholic could be possibly Christian
Belle: Christian or maybe even Mormon (No mormon and catholicism is not christianity)
Tiana: She could be a Christian
Ariel: Greek Religion
Mulan: Buddhist cause of the temple
Rapunzel: She was kidnapped my a lady who was evil and was shielded all her life.... she probably doesn't have a religion. But if she was with her parents maybe catholic.

Jasmine: Muslim most likely cause of the Muslim temple and how she dressed.
Merida: Protestant
Elsa and Anna: Catholic/Protestant or Christians because of the message the story was actually sending.


Now these could be false, but these are just from my views.

1. Snow White - Christian (she prays in the movie)
2. Cinderella - Christian (gets married in a church)
3. Aurora - likely Catholic
4. Ariel - Polytheistic Greek religion of gods
5. Belle - likely Catholic
6. Pocahontas - converted to Christianity
7. Jasmine - her father talks about God, but it is based before Islam, so maybe Judaism or some other god?
8. Mulan - Chinese Ancestor Veneration, which was a part of what is called the Chinese Traditional Religion according to what I researched
9. Tiana - likely Catholic
10. Rapunzel - Gothel probably didn't raise her to be religious but her parents were likely Catholic as since the 16th century, the Catholic Diet of Speyer in 1529 in Germany forced many protestant Christians to leave
11. Merida - Pagan
12. Anna and Elsa - Anglican (St. Olaf's Church is what inspired the church for Elsa's coronation, and it is Anglican)
