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.

princesslullaby: first of all, SHE doesn't know the apple is bewitched, secondly, people call her stupid for wishing on an apple. THE DAMN WISHING WELL WORKED
cromulanfav: Pocahontas and Tiana did dumber things. Like Tiana kissed the frog.
princesslullaby: yeah, a TALKING FROG
cromulanfav: and she trusted Louis and mama Oddie. And Poca went with Smith.
JonnaSe: PUNZ IS EVEN MORE STUPID
princesslullaby: Punz is the stupidest
JonnaSe: SHE GOES WITH A STRANGER AND A THIEF! SHE'S GONNA SPEND A WHOLE DAY WITH HIM
JonnaSe: Snow is just eating an apple
CuteDiana: And Punz might have the best knowlege
JonnaSe: I think the only reason she eats the apple is because she wants to be nice to the old lady.
cromulanfav: She just has good manners.



*I hate her because her voice is high pitched and annoying

WTF?! Seriously, this disqualifies as a reason. It's plain shallow. And I seriously don't know which movie people watched because Snow's voice is definitely not that high pitched that it merges on being annoying.

JonnaSe: STUPID REASON! THAT IS SUCH A STUPID REASON!
CuteDiana: then I would EASILY hate Belle.
JonnaSe: It´s a special voice that I think really fits for her.

___________________________________________________________________________


Cinderella

*She should have ran away
There is two main reasons why she should't:

A)She would really be without anything and without anyone out there, she couldn't really survive on her own.
B)princesslullaby: Cinderella won't leave that house! Its the house she grew up in with her father, come on!

She's too passive (she allow people to treat her bad...)

princesslullaby: She doesn't like to hurt people's feelings.
cromulanfav: She's too classy to act otherwise
princesslullaby: again, she's taught to love and respect her parents, and she thinks this is the woman her father loves.
JonnaSe: She doesn´t take bullshit, she knows that "this is as good as it gets". Plus, she belives in karma. If you are good to the others, the good will return.

___________________________________________________________________________


Aurora

*She doesn't have enough personality because she was in movie only 18 minutes

Well, the main argument against this is that Jasmine's in the movie for 22 minutes, so yeah, the time can't be really used as a reason.

JonnaSe: Give any of the other princesses 18 mins. Would they still feel like the main character?

___________________________________________________________________________


Ariel

*She's stupid and selfish for leaving her family for a guy she doesn't know

A)Everyone leaves their family at some point
B)Previous three princesses did pretty much the same. They married their princes right away. It was simply true love. It's Disney. At least Ariel had few valid reasons to believe Eric is good.


CuteDiana: she's not selfish, not a bad selfish
cromulanfav: yeah, she's just not selfless. I would LOVE to leave my family for my dreams, even though if i don't know what's waiting for me
lepetitsouris: I don't understand the big deal of her leaving was. She wasn't first in line for the crown. She didn't have a responsibility to take over.
princesslullaby: If i had a chance to accomplish a dream, my greatest dream, but it was a really slim chance, i would still take it. I think accomplishing a dream is much more important than staying with your family.
cromulanfav: I don't see why would anyone stay with family.Everyone has to go once.
JonnaSe: And she is obviously unhappy there.
CuteDiana: no no please, we should all stay with them until they die, or we die.
princesslullaby: She has to leave eventually.And then people say "well, she didn't succeed in the end". Ariel knew she might not succeed, she KNEW IT, the point was she took the chance.

___________________________________________________________________________


Bele

*I can relate to her because she reads and she's odd

Belle maybe is relatable, but seriously, not because of this.

CuteDiana: OMG.You're stupid that's why you're odd.
cromulanfav: It's 21 century, being literate is nothing special
CuteDiana: I know yeah, actually nowadays it' cool to be odd and outcast.
princesslullaby: they like her, they don't make fun of her or anything, or outcast her
CuteDiana: No and they think that she's really beautiful and everybody likes her.
JonnaSe: But they dedicate the opening song on how "odd" she is.
princesslullaby: yes, but in a good way
cromulanfav: they admire her
princesslullaby: yeah, when they're saying she's odd, they're all smiling. Look when they watch her in the bookshop
lepetitsouris:And I don't think Belle thinks of herself as odd.



*She's smart because she reads

CuteDiana: PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT
JonnaSe: She isn´t intelligent
princesslullaby: COME ON, she is reading equivalent of twilight novels!
cromulanfav: Omg, she reads romance
princesslullaby: AND ITS A PICTURE BOOK LOL
CuteDiana: my friend reads romance and her IQ is like 0.


In the end we concluded she is smart, smarter then people from her village anyway, just, it's not because she reads.

*She's so brave and selfless for trading herself for her father's freedom

Now, we're not trying to deny she is, just, it's not that special. The thing with Belle is that her situation is completely different than Ariel's. She doesn't have anything else in this world but her father. She doesn't have any goals in her life. She sings about wanting something, but she doesn't know what. So when she takes her father's place, she doesn't really loose much because in her case, she's not using her freedom anyway.

princesslullaby: Now, wouldn't YOU trade places with the person you love most? only person you have? I think 90% of people would trade lives with the person they love the most, thing that is most important ot them, so I dont think it's so brave.
___________________________________________________________________________


Jasmine

*She's mean

Seriously she's the nicest person in that movie. Everyone was mean to her, so she had to respond in the same manner. Mean = telling bad people things they deserved? I don't think so.

JonnaSe: Because she has "attitude"?
princesslullaby:She lives in a society where she has restraints and pressures, she has no choice but to yell her opinions, its actually the smartest thing to do, its whats kept people from totally dominating her.If she tried to express her opinions calmly and intelligently, no one would listen, look who she's surrounded by!


___________________________________________________________________________


Pocahontas

*She loses he personality after she meets John Smith

As wise princesslullaby said, Belle would stay with her tribe, Ariel would leave with john Smith. Pocahontas is somewhere in between, she's torn, and that affects her personality. She doesn't loses her personality, she just becomes little mopey.

*She's smart

Eh, there's nothing that indicates she's extraordinary smart. She seems rather lost for the most of the movie.

cromulanfav: She was sitting in the trees and staring at the compass.
lepetitsouris: She needed Grandmother Willow to make all her decisions for her basically.


___________________________________________________________________________




Mulan


Well, there really is no significant stereotype about Mulan so we're skipping this one.
___________________________________________________________________________


Tiana

*She should have more fun and work less

Opinions were divided on this one. Some thought she really needs to loosen up, and some thought she needs to get her restaurant as soon as possible and then have fun, instead of working her whole life.

_____________________________________________________________________


Rapunzel

Much like in Mulan's case, there isn't much prejudices and stereotypes about Rapunzel either. Perhaps the one that she's not very original and that she's rip-off of Snow White, Ariel or Jasmine, which is rather inaccurate. Her personality isn't like theirs at all, but saying that she doesn't bring much new in Disney Princess line-up is valid point.

___________________________________________________________________________

Well, hope you enjoyed it. If you think we forgot something, write it in comments. Also if you disagree, we will be happy to hear your opinion... so we can argue it...

Hello, everyone! Here is the compilation of the results of this spring's DP movie countdown. The ranking was based 32 lists: thirty-one submitted by Fanpop users link + mine. Click on the link for more information on how this countdown works, but in case you are wondering, I awarded one point to the first of each list, two points to the second, and so on. Which means that the movie with the least points was the winner of the countdown.

3. The total of points;
4. Two comments for each film (four for the first place).

Last time I wrote about songs I thought suited Jasmine, today I'll write about songs I think suits Elsa, hope you'll like this article :)

link - Katy Perry
This song could suit most of the princesses, but I think it suits Elsa the best, reminds me a little bit of Let It Go

link - Britney Spears
Before Frozen was released I thought this song suited Mulan the best, but after Frozen came out I realised that this song suits Elsa even better, don't know exactly why though

link - Within Temptation
This song really suits Elsa, both the title and many of the lyrics

link - Nightwish
This one may suit her less...

As KataraLover called me, I'm most definitely bi-polar with my beauty lists but hopefully this comes to an end... somehow. Anyway, let's give it a shot by writing another prettiest Princess article. You know, it would be a lot easier if the Princesses were uglier. Please don't get mad because of my disorder to rank pretiness.



13. Merida

Props to Merida for being this unconventional beauty. Unfortunately for her, she is just not my type. Not to say that she is ugly, she has nice features but alas she hits rock bottom on my list. She has a nice body shape, however the shape of her eyes and...

I know it's a couple years late but I've always wanted to address this and what better way to do it than an article.

Now I have a LOVE/hate relationship with this video, I have to make sure to emphasize the first word because honestly I thought it was funny. I'm sorry, it makes me laugh every time. I love Robot Chicken and Adult Swim, they're hilarious.

So as you can guess I'm not mad at Robot Chicken for making the video. Their job is to make me laugh and they do it well. They've done just as bad if not worse to characters that are just as if not more beloved. I don't take it seriously. They...

It's time to stop making excuses for Disney. It's time to stop congratulating Disney for including a line of Oaken saying hi to his family, briefly showing them with the small possibility that that's his husband in the sauna, and then calling Frozen revolutionary. Time to stop congratulating Disney over having Elsa, a character that shows no signs whatsoever of being LGBTQA+, just because she doesn't show any signs of being straight either. The fact of the matter is that Disney is the largest, most influential animation company in the entire world, heck, it's one of the largest companies in...
