I tried to use comments from users that summarized people's opinions of the princesses as a whole, but sometimes there weren't very many, or any at all.
I would like to give a big thank you to BelleAnastasia for her help in making the lists for this article and the Disney Princess Movie article!
10.Aurora
PREVIOUS RANK: #9 (dropped)
Given her lack of screentime, I wasn't surprised to see Aurora so low, but - and maybe this is my bias of working at Disney, given her popularity here- I was surprised she was last. I was certain it would be Tiana. Aurora adds a spritely but classic addition to the lineup, and will certainly appeal to those who desire a truly traditional princess, -she's a reliable character in that sense. An improvement is that there's more to her than just being a damsel in distress; she's charming, sly, and imaginative. Unfortunately, she often fails to resonate with Disney fans given her often being stamped as having a two dimensional personality and how she serves more as a figurehead in her movie rather than an actual viable character with depth and relatability. But that's part of Aurora's appeal, to strike a chord with someone who doesn't want a relatable character but rather a dreamy fairy tale princess for entertainment. But the fans' desire for substance over material attraction puts Aurora last.

"Aurora: I loved her when I was little and still love her movie, but I just don't consider her to have any traits that make her worthy of being adored the way she is. Being extremely beautiful and having a pleasant enough personality are fine enough things...but she lacks substance and any strong sense of character. Anyone who denies that is deluding themselves. I think people like her for either shallow or nostalgic purposes and then try and justify it by creating this alleged "great personality" out of extremely minor things she does or says that are no more interesting than the other nine princesses." [disneydweeb]
9.Snow White
PREVIOUS RANK: #7 (dropped)
While Snow White continuously climbs up and down the ladder of popularity (although she never makes it past the bottom 7) it seems this round she has taken a predictable turn for the worse. It's easy to pinpoint what's unappealing in Snow white. She certainly has more of a grounded character with a base than Aurora and can create more of a personal connection with fans-- but her constant positivity, while inspiring and uplifting, can be her downfall in this case. While some fans admire her for it (and the majority of others consider it just plain annoying) the fact is no one alive has the emotional strength and naivety to be as constantly positive as Snow White is, because it would be her downfall, which makes her fairly unrelatable.

"I know A LOT of people don't like her on here, and I honestly don't understand why. Her personality is amazing (by far my favorite), she is positive, is adorable, is nice but makes fun of the dwarfs, and she can stop crying after almost being killed with a smile and a song. I love her, she's just the most adorable little thing in all of the land <3" JonnaSe
8.Tiana
PREVIOUS RANK: #10 (rose)
Tiana is a refreshing addition to the princess lineup, but often falls short on favorites lists. The reasoning is short and simple- Tiana becomes a flat character when she turns into a frog, has inconsistent morals and motives, and the princess lineup tends to appeal to the creative, fantasy-desiring dreamers, something Tiana works vehemently hard to fight against being. No one should turn their noses up at Tiana's misgivings, however; not every girl's flaws can be that they're TOO naive and TOO romantic. She sheds a little light on those of us who are grounded and work-oriented. But the movie goes downhill when the frog fiasco starts, and drags Tiana down with it.

"I love Tiana, but my beef with her is the ending: she's so smart, so passionate, so dedicated to her dream... and then suddenly realizes that she wants a boyfriend more. She's spent her WHOLE LIFE wanting one particular dream and is suddenly willing to throw it all under the bus for a boy, and I find that sad. She would be a lot higher if Disney didn't feel so certain that women can't truly have 'happily-ever-after' without a man in their life." -phantomrose89
7.Pocahontas
PREVIOUS RANK: #6 (dropped)
Although she is often accused of losing her personality, I can remember the days when Pocahontas was one of the most popular princesses on fanpop, though those days are long gone. The fact is she doesn't 'lose her personality'- when she's adventurous and fun and carefree in the beginning, it's because she doesn't have any worries or cares. however, When the whole conflict with John Smith and her people arises, she becomes mopey and confused because she doesn't know what to do- when someone is depressed and concerned they don't have the energy to keep running around, diving off cliffs and going over waterfalls, especially when there are more pressing matters. But to set up a character that spent the first 10 minutes of her movie being a wild child only to have her become serious and sullen, whether logical or not, is a let-down for a lot of fans. Pocahontas' saving graces are her unique character, boldness, and bravery; otherwise I doubt most people would take interest in her at all.

"I absolutely adore this girl. She has left a real impact on me over the past few years because of her strength. I love that she stands up for what she believes in, and that she is able to appreciate all forms of life. She is so incredibly unprejudiced, it wouldn't matter who or what you were, she would still respect you. And yet she isn't superwoman - she still finds it difficult at times to stay strong, and needs help to guide her to the right decision. I also love that she places herself as just one of her people. She is clearly a born leader but she never assumes that she is above anyone else, and she always considers what is best for the group as a whole rather than what is best for herself. - milky-way
6.Rapunzel
No one commented negatively on Rapunzel, so I'm just going off of my opinion on her, which other people tend to agree with.
There's no denying that Rapunzel has been a big hit among Disney fans, and Tangled as a whole. She's relatable. She's fun. She's naive, nervous, spunky, and realistic- and also not. Those of us (such as myself) who aren't Rapunzel's biggest fans can usually admit that while she's a good character, she's predictable, unoriginal, has no flaws, is a step backwards for the lineup, and brings nothing new to the table. She's a hit or miss for most, and seems to either have a big impact or none at all.

5.Cinderella
PREVIOUS RANK: #5
This can be summarized even more simply than Tiana: People either appreciate her for staying emotionally strong under abusive circumstances, or criticize her for not being proactive enough in trying to escape her life with the Tremaines. For that split reasoning she always gets stuck right in the middle.

I think Cinderella gets dismissed pretty often as one of the 'weak' classic heroines. While she definitely isn't as proactive as one of the later princesses, I think Cinderella is truly an interesting character; she's an absolute 'ideal woman' of the 1950s, meaning she's elegant, refined, patient, feminine, family-oriented, graceful, and polished. I think she's actually pretty tough, if subtle, and I wish she was given more credit for being strong enough to live through childhood abuse and still have a song in her heart. -phantomrose89
4.Jasmine
PREVIOUS RANK: #3 (dropped)
Jasmine is pretty steadfast in her popularity; She's really the first (and only) Disney princess to continually stick up for her beliefs verbally and fight back when she has no other means. While this can be perceived as rude or ungrateful, it stands to point out that this is Jasmine's only means of retaliating against her oppressors. Her attitude and aggressive nature can either be her strong point or her disadvantage.

"Jasmine will never make it top my top 3. Despite my adoration for her spicy and hard attitude, which people often accuse of being rude or ungrateful for some inexplicable reason (acting as she does is the ONLY way she can fight back against her oppressors, and it's just plain sexism to say she's too rude for a girl), the fact that she's a hypocrite who refuses to let anyone walk all over her EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO ALADDIN will always disappoint me." -princesslullaby
3.Mulan
PREVIOUS RANK: #4 (rose)
I think I'm stuck at a roadblock for this one because to me her ranking should be and always has been fairly obvious- she's amazingly brave, smart, and having a princess search for an identity and worth is a trait worthy of noting to the Disney Princess lineup. But the voice acting drags down her character as well as a weakened personality, especially by the end of the film.

Ariel represents nearly every person out there in some way, whether they want to admit it or not. Her incredibly flawed personality can detract from her fans but mostly draws people to her. Whether you admire Ariel for her determination and bravery or despise her for foolish decisions and a selfish attitude, there's no denying the ease of ability to relate to her makes her one of the most popular characters out there.

I would say this summarizes the general attitude about Belle:
"Some people may say that she's boring, unoriginal, and "nothing special, but I don't care. I love her sense of longing and her adventurous spirit, yet she still stays with her father because she knows he needs her the most. She's sassy but classy, and never gives into Gaston because she just knows he's not the right guy. That's how I aspire to be. She's like a role model to me, and I love her to pieces. That's why Belle is my favorite princess." -hisblueeyes

10.Aurora
PREVIOUS RANK: #9 (dropped)
Given her lack of screentime, I wasn't surprised to see Aurora so low, but - and maybe this is my bias of working at Disney, given her popularity here- I was surprised she was last. I was certain it would be Tiana. Aurora adds a spritely but classic addition to the lineup, and will certainly appeal to those who desire a truly traditional princess, -she's a reliable character in that sense. An improvement is that there's more to her than just being a damsel in distress; she's charming, sly, and imaginative. Unfortunately, she often fails to resonate with Disney fans given her often being stamped as having a two dimensional personality and how she serves more as a figurehead in her movie rather than an actual viable character with depth and relatability. But that's part of Aurora's appeal, to strike a chord with someone who doesn't want a relatable character but rather a dreamy fairy tale princess for entertainment. But the fans' desire for substance over material attraction puts Aurora last.

"Aurora: I loved her when I was little and still love her movie, but I just don't consider her to have any traits that make her worthy of being adored the way she is. Being extremely beautiful and having a pleasant enough personality are fine enough things...but she lacks substance and any strong sense of character. Anyone who denies that is deluding themselves. I think people like her for either shallow or nostalgic purposes and then try and justify it by creating this alleged "great personality" out of extremely minor things she does or says that are no more interesting than the other nine princesses."

9.Snow White
PREVIOUS RANK: #7 (dropped)
While Snow White continuously climbs up and down the ladder of popularity (although she never makes it past the bottom 7) it seems this round she has taken a predictable turn for the worse. It's easy to pinpoint what's unappealing in Snow white. She certainly has more of a grounded character with a base than Aurora and can create more of a personal connection with fans-- but her constant positivity, while inspiring and uplifting, can be her downfall in this case. While some fans admire her for it (and the majority of others consider it just plain annoying) the fact is no one alive has the emotional strength and naivety to be as constantly positive as Snow White is, because it would be her downfall, which makes her fairly unrelatable.

"I know A LOT of people don't like her on here, and I honestly don't understand why. Her personality is amazing (by far my favorite), she is positive, is adorable, is nice but makes fun of the dwarfs, and she can stop crying after almost being killed with a smile and a song. I love her, she's just the most adorable little thing in all of the land <3" JonnaSe
8.Tiana
PREVIOUS RANK: #10 (rose)
Tiana is a refreshing addition to the princess lineup, but often falls short on favorites lists. The reasoning is short and simple- Tiana becomes a flat character when she turns into a frog, has inconsistent morals and motives, and the princess lineup tends to appeal to the creative, fantasy-desiring dreamers, something Tiana works vehemently hard to fight against being. No one should turn their noses up at Tiana's misgivings, however; not every girl's flaws can be that they're TOO naive and TOO romantic. She sheds a little light on those of us who are grounded and work-oriented. But the movie goes downhill when the frog fiasco starts, and drags Tiana down with it.

"I love Tiana, but my beef with her is the ending: she's so smart, so passionate, so dedicated to her dream... and then suddenly realizes that she wants a boyfriend more. She's spent her WHOLE LIFE wanting one particular dream and is suddenly willing to throw it all under the bus for a boy, and I find that sad. She would be a lot higher if Disney didn't feel so certain that women can't truly have 'happily-ever-after' without a man in their life." -phantomrose89
7.Pocahontas
PREVIOUS RANK: #6 (dropped)
Although she is often accused of losing her personality, I can remember the days when Pocahontas was one of the most popular princesses on fanpop, though those days are long gone. The fact is she doesn't 'lose her personality'- when she's adventurous and fun and carefree in the beginning, it's because she doesn't have any worries or cares. however, When the whole conflict with John Smith and her people arises, she becomes mopey and confused because she doesn't know what to do- when someone is depressed and concerned they don't have the energy to keep running around, diving off cliffs and going over waterfalls, especially when there are more pressing matters. But to set up a character that spent the first 10 minutes of her movie being a wild child only to have her become serious and sullen, whether logical or not, is a let-down for a lot of fans. Pocahontas' saving graces are her unique character, boldness, and bravery; otherwise I doubt most people would take interest in her at all.

"I absolutely adore this girl. She has left a real impact on me over the past few years because of her strength. I love that she stands up for what she believes in, and that she is able to appreciate all forms of life. She is so incredibly unprejudiced, it wouldn't matter who or what you were, she would still respect you. And yet she isn't superwoman - she still finds it difficult at times to stay strong, and needs help to guide her to the right decision. I also love that she places herself as just one of her people. She is clearly a born leader but she never assumes that she is above anyone else, and she always considers what is best for the group as a whole rather than what is best for herself. - milky-way
6.Rapunzel
No one commented negatively on Rapunzel, so I'm just going off of my opinion on her, which other people tend to agree with.
There's no denying that Rapunzel has been a big hit among Disney fans, and Tangled as a whole. She's relatable. She's fun. She's naive, nervous, spunky, and realistic- and also not. Those of us (such as myself) who aren't Rapunzel's biggest fans can usually admit that while she's a good character, she's predictable, unoriginal, has no flaws, is a step backwards for the lineup, and brings nothing new to the table. She's a hit or miss for most, and seems to either have a big impact or none at all.

5.Cinderella
PREVIOUS RANK: #5
This can be summarized even more simply than Tiana: People either appreciate her for staying emotionally strong under abusive circumstances, or criticize her for not being proactive enough in trying to escape her life with the Tremaines. For that split reasoning she always gets stuck right in the middle.

I think Cinderella gets dismissed pretty often as one of the 'weak' classic heroines. While she definitely isn't as proactive as one of the later princesses, I think Cinderella is truly an interesting character; she's an absolute 'ideal woman' of the 1950s, meaning she's elegant, refined, patient, feminine, family-oriented, graceful, and polished. I think she's actually pretty tough, if subtle, and I wish she was given more credit for being strong enough to live through childhood abuse and still have a song in her heart. -phantomrose89
4.Jasmine
PREVIOUS RANK: #3 (dropped)
Jasmine is pretty steadfast in her popularity; She's really the first (and only) Disney princess to continually stick up for her beliefs verbally and fight back when she has no other means. While this can be perceived as rude or ungrateful, it stands to point out that this is Jasmine's only means of retaliating against her oppressors. Her attitude and aggressive nature can either be her strong point or her disadvantage.

"Jasmine will never make it top my top 3. Despite my adoration for her spicy and hard attitude, which people often accuse of being rude or ungrateful for some inexplicable reason (acting as she does is the ONLY way she can fight back against her oppressors, and it's just plain sexism to say she's too rude for a girl), the fact that she's a hypocrite who refuses to let anyone walk all over her EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO ALADDIN will always disappoint me." -princesslullaby
3.Mulan
PREVIOUS RANK: #4 (rose)
I think I'm stuck at a roadblock for this one because to me her ranking should be and always has been fairly obvious- she's amazingly brave, smart, and having a princess search for an identity and worth is a trait worthy of noting to the Disney Princess lineup. But the voice acting drags down her character as well as a weakened personality, especially by the end of the film.

Ariel represents nearly every person out there in some way, whether they want to admit it or not. Her incredibly flawed personality can detract from her fans but mostly draws people to her. Whether you admire Ariel for her determination and bravery or despise her for foolish decisions and a selfish attitude, there's no denying the ease of ability to relate to her makes her one of the most popular characters out there.

I would say this summarizes the general attitude about Belle:
"Some people may say that she's boring, unoriginal, and "nothing special, but I don't care. I love her sense of longing and her adventurous spirit, yet she still stays with her father because she knows he needs her the most. She's sassy but classy, and never gives into Gaston because she just knows he's not the right guy. That's how I aspire to be. She's like a role model to me, and I love her to pieces. That's why Belle is my favorite princess." -hisblueeyes
