I've already ranked their films so now I will rank the princesses individually. Share your thoughts. My opinions are always changing so this list might not always be the same in my head.
13. Aurora
I love her film but she really is the worst, most boring part of it. Sure, she's beautiful and has one of the best singing voices of any princess but she is just so bland. And I can't place a character who only appears for around 18 minutes any higher on this list. She's nice but really needed more of a personality especially since her film has such memorable characters.
12. Cinderella
I used to think that she was the worst and most overrated but now I see that at least she has more spunk and personality than Aurora and she plays a bigger part in her movie. I understand that the classic princesses are products of their time so they aren't exactly going to fight back but I think that Cinderella is the most determined and shows the most intelligence plus she has her sassy moments. I still think she looks too much like a generic princess but she's still classy.
11. Belle
I just don't like Belle very much. I think she is so incredibly overrated. Sure, she looks nice most of the time although she has several bad shots and she likes to read, which is nice, but she just comes across as being too perfect. I like that she is smart and that she stands up to Beast and helps her father and that she ignores Gaston but she is still kind of boring and plain-looking. She's a good princess but not the best. I wish she was more playful and made more mistakes so that she would seem less perfect. She's not unique enough.
10. Jasmine
I was really debating whether I should switch Jasmine with Belle but I like Jasmine just a little more because she has a better singing voice (Lea Salonga!) and she's more unique. This girl is spunky, which I like and she's smart and independent. She's my least favorite character from Aladdin and I kind of forget about her sometimes but she is not a bad princess, just not the best but thank the Lord she's not as goody-goody and perfect as some of the others.
9. Snow White
I don't understand why Snow White is higher up than Belle or Jasmine, I don't know why I like her so much but I do. This one is kind of surprising to me because really Snow White does very little aside from work and sing but I just like her. She's charming. I have always loved her clothes and even though she has one of the least appealing voices to modern audiences I have a soft spot for it and her in general. Maybe because she's the first princess. I always think she's underrated because of her admittedly strange voice and old fashioned look.
8. Tiana
I was thinking of making Tiana #9 but I decided to cut her some slack. I'm not a big fan of her film, its alright but not my cup of tea, and think she's alittle too unrealistically perfect and she sort has a one track mind but she is still nice. I thought that at first she was too preachy but I started to like her more as the film progressed. She is beautiful and has a very nice voice overall and one of the best dresses. She's also hardworking, determined, intelligent, and a good role model although I would have just asked Charlotte for the money a long time ago. Still, I like her spunk and can see why people like her even though she was kind of annoying and no fun with Naveen at first. I wish she was more playful.
7. Elsa
I really like Elsa. She's pretty, unique, strong, and has a nice sense of style and of course ice powers but I feel like we never really get to know Elsa well. She's almost always worried, scared or serious in her scenes. I wish they had shown her more playful, happy side that we see a glimpse of during "Let it Go" and at the end. Speaking of "Let it Go", does anyone else think that change was just a little drastic. How could she just up and choose to forget about her sister and home so quickly. Still, I like the song even if I prefer Anna's voice since Idina's( or Adele Dazeem's) voice can be alittle shrieky in the high notes. Nevertheless, if their is going to be a Frozen 2 I hope we get to know Elsa better. I did like how she cared for Anna, except during her song, and didn't let her marry Hans.
6. Ariel
My mom's favorite. I think she is the most beautiful princess and she has a very nice voice but she is a bit of a brat, yes I know she's 16, and falls for Eric and is willing to sell her voice to Ursula of all people to get near him. She doesn't really think through things very well. What if he didn't like her? How would they communicate? They both spoke English so why didn't she just write to him? What did she do with her stuffed crab? So many questions that we won't know the answer to. Still, she is brave, fun-loving, and determined. She's stubborn like Tiana but for a different reason. I love her spirit of wonder and adventure though.
5. Merida
I love this girl. She is strong, brave, unique, and spunky. She's not the prettiest princess. traditionally but she has an interesting and different brand of style and beauty. I like that she's an archer and that she just wants to be herself and independent. She's pulls an Ariel on us and consults a witch which was obviously a bad idea and she can be hot headed, although Elinor was a little annoying, but she works hard to fix her mistakes. She's human, we all make mistakes. I like her fierce spirit and am happy that so many people have embraced her.
4. Pocahontas
I really love this princess. She is so centered, mature, caring, and intelligent and I love that she is so natural and really cares for the environment and tells John Smith a thing or two about his "modern" ideas. I like that she looks like no other princess, she has a short dress, a tattoo, loose hair, she seems like the tallest princess and she's always barefoot. She's unique and I love her for that. And that singing voice of hers is the best, it is so powerful and interesting. I love that she is so brave and adventurous.
3. Anna
I love this girl. She's definitely the funniest, liveliest and most modern princess except for the whole wanting marry Hans thing. She's no genius but she is genuine. She is pretty and quirky and seems like the most playful princess. She also has some spunk and I actually like her voice, its not the strongest but its sweet and great coming from a non singer like Kristen Bell. I also like her clothes and braids. She is so charming and silly but she's also caring and determined.
2. Rapunzel
I don't think Anna and Rapunzel are exactly the same, they are similar but I think Rapunzel is more poised and intelligent. She's also very artistic, which I like. She has spunk too and can wield a frying pan like nobody else. She is a dreamer and determined which I love and aside from her hair she acts like a real, modern girl. She has a sweetness and inner fire about her that I really like. She is cute-pretty and has a nice, playful voice although it is not as strong as some others and has a more pop sound to it. I like how she became more mature as the film progressed but I only wish that she had kept her hair fairly long, I like short hair but not for her because I like the longer hair more. I still like her.
1. Mulan
I love this girl. She is the absolute best princess-heroine hands down. She is realistic because she is clumsy at first but works hard to better herself. She becomes a better warrior than any of the men and ends up saving the day twice and killing the villain, and she is one of only two princesses to do so (the other being Tiana). She is pretty, funny, and mature and seems like a real, modern girl who can show that women can do whatever men do. She also has a great voice, courtesy of Lea Salonga and Ming Na Wen, and their really isn't another princess as brave and strong as she is. I don't care if she really isn't a princess, she is the best and I can't really complain about her or her film.
