So I decided to rant about Snow White next.

Snow White was the very first animated female to make it to the big screen. If any of the princesses were to be called legendary, Snow White would be the one. She paved the way for every Disney Herione, princess or not. Pick any other female character from Disney and I guarantee you she'll have something in common with Snow White. Cinderella, Aurora, Pocahontas, Belle and even Jasmine would probably be completely different characters had it not been for Snow.

Let's talk about the dwarfs for a second, like the fairies from Sleeping Beauty, these guys pretty much carry the movie. All of them pretty much have the same relationship with Snow White, but Grumpy, he's special. He's the only person in the entire movie who experiences something resembling development. Changing from a mean old grump to a kindhearted gentleman who cares deeply about the princess. Needless to say, the most popular dwarf is Dopey, the goofiest and funniest mute ever. The rest of them are somewhat bland. Personally my favorites are Sleepy and Happy, I enjoy their presence. Doc earns a few points, Bashful and Sneezy, not so much.

The most negative thing I can say about Snow White is that she's a very one track character. By that I mean she's not very complex. She's literally always happy 100% of the time. I was hoping she would show some emotion or at least experience some amount of growth but sadly no. Similar to Jasmine's sass, Snow White's constantly upbeat attitude can get grating abit. Even Aurora has a more diverse personality. There is one little moment where she cries but she immediately bounces back. While her optimism is her best quality it's also her downfall. I would have been nice to see Snow White get angry or break down but then she'd be a realistic character.

Now Snow White's voice, she's been criticized for this so often to the point where she's been excluded from MAJOR princess merchandise. In the video for If You Can Dream, Snow White only gets one scene and she doesn't even get to sing. Surely back in 1937, a voice like that would have been considered attractive, with similar voices like Betty Boop, who's an icon. Today people just find it irritating and it's probably why she's not very popular. But hey it's her trademark voice, it's what she's known for and it's what makes her unique. Disney could have easily given her different voice but they chose not to, because it's one of the many things that make her special.

I will be the first to agree that Snow White is physically the weakest princess but emotionally she is very strong. Similar to Cinderella, she overcomes what is most likely to be years of child abuse and manages to keep smile on her face and her head held high. After having several vicious attempts on her life, Snow is rewarded for her optimism and strength with a prince and her own happy ending. While I do agree she is a damsel in distress, personality wise, she's a great role model. Not to say that young girls should be happy 24/7 but that they should try to look on the bright side and not let bullies put them down.

I don't mean to offend anyone but in my opinion Snow White is the dumbest princess. Don't get me wrong, I don't think she or any of the other princesses are dumb but any of them should be labelled the "stupid one" it would be Snow. Though, I must go easy on her because she is the youngest princess. Biting the apple, breaking into the dwarfs' home, not being able to recognize clear threats. Snow White is clearly lacking in the intelligence area and that's easily her biggest flaw. Not to mention, she's gullible.

Despite the fact she's the very first Disney Herione, Snow White is probably the least poular princess on a global scale. Due to her appearance and of course, her voice as well the overwhelmingly popularity of CInderella, who's always mistaken for the first princess. No one seems to like Snow White, at all.

To me Snow White represents happiness (or optimism). No matter what life throws at her, she faces it with a cheerful attitude and joy in her heart. Even in the gloomiest of situations, she finds the will power to sing and smile through it all.

Heres just a short little look in the mind of Belle as her and the Beast are reading in the library during something there.

Obviously I dont own the characters or the story....disney does....


Belles POV.


The fire was crackling as I read from the book I had come to love so much. The warmth hit me hard but that wasnt the only thing making me feel warm. It was also probably my companion.
The Beast was propped up behind me his legs pulled in as he stared at the pages with those clear as the sky blue eyes that seemed out of place on such a creature. They followed along as I read, him trying to make...

You voted and you got it! Here's my take on what the movies would be like if Jasmine and Pocahontas switched places. I'm not sure if I'll continue, so comment on what you like or don't like.


Switch #1: Pocahontas and Jasmine

Let us immerse ourselves in a world where trees can talk, carpets can fly, and genies dance and sing. It is in this world that we find two princesses very different from each other, separated by time and distance. This world is about to face a drastic change, although nobody knows it. Because those two princesses are about to switch lives, switch stories, and they won’t...

First a little introduction, I have every intention of seeing this movie, but here are my personal judgments of this movie based on the controversies surrounding it, trailers and so forth. Since i like to end on a happy note, we'll start with the bad.
5. THE pRINCESS: When I first saw this trailer i was thinking "how the hell can a black waitress from New Orleans in the 20's be a princess? but the more trailers that got released i slowly realized that Tiana isn't actually a princess at all, at least not by birth anyway, suddenly the whole she turns into a frog thing made allot more sense. But...

Up in the cottage, Aurora woke up early ready for the challenges ahead. She grabbed a royal blue coat, ankle to neck length, and slipped some ballet flats on. She flipped through books upon books containing maps and stuffed them into a concealed basket. Then a small crimpled painting of Fauna edged with burns of fire, "just in case I happen to run into anyone." Aurora disengaged her lips realizing the sound of her voice could awaken Flora. Obviously as you could have told, Aurora was settling of to venture and find Fauna, possibly Merryweather. She gripped tightly to the basket. Walking towards...

10. Shang and Pocahontas

I'm not surprised that this couple was the first to leave. I think this couple might clash just a tiny little bit because they are COMPLETE opposites (imo) and would have very very different views on life. Shang is a war general and Pocahontas hates war, somehow don't see this one working.

- PociandSmith: 'they are not made for each other'

- Justinfangrrl:' ^I agree, It just doesn't fit. Mulan is the only one I can see with him....

Those of you using the word selfish still do not see that you are using this word the wrong way, and frankly seem like fake Ariel fans. Cause no Ariel fan would call her such a hateful, negative word. The definition of selfish is : "devoted to caring for oneself and ones interests only, greedy. Regardless of others". the words that can be used in place of of Selfish are : narcissistic, greedy, hoggish, mean, narrow-minded, out for number one, narcissistic, prejudiced, wrapped in oneself. This definition and these words do not describe Ariel at all in any way. They describe Ursula, and the other...

1 = Rapunzel makes the best out of living in a tower with her pet chameleon. She has no internet, no phone, nothing. Which is why I don't like it when people say she can do too many positive things, or she has too many positive traits. Her step-mother probably taught them to her so that she wouldn't be bored everyday while she's stuck up there.

2 = Rapunzel doesn't rebel the first time. She listens to Mother Gothel, and stays put. When she see's Flynn, she doesn't welcome him in. And when she does knock him out, she's proud to tell Mother Gothel.

3 = After she's out of the tower, she keeps thinking...

15. Peter Pan- I find him to be more cute than hot. He reminds me of a little boy and I find that so cute. When I was younger I wanted him to be my boyfriend though. I guess since I'm older I'm into the more manlier men in Disney.

14. Hercules- I don't know what it is.. but I just don't find him all that hot. Sure, he's manly and strong but when he was skinny and weak I prefer him. They made him too strong and his body was weird to me.

13. Flynn- Blame it on the animation that he's so low on the list.. If he was animated like the rest of the Disney guys I would definitely put him higher. He's...

I know everyone and their grandma has written one of these, but I have yet to write my official list until now, and I swore I was never gonna do one of these. For some reason, I just couldn't sit down and nit-pick about who I liked the most or who I like the least. But now I've finally broken down and forced myself to sit down and sort this crap out (Even thought I have much better things that I should be doing right now...) BUT ANYWAYS, the order of this list has been bouncing around in my head for months and I've been over-analyzing every frickin' princess. So, if you haven't gotten sick...
