"Many people say Ariel is selfish, but I disgress. To me, someone selfish is someone who is self-centered and put their own interests above others, not mattering if may hurt someone or not. Ariel is not selfish, she is impulsive doesn't think before she acts, meaning that (unlike someone selfish) she doesn't realize her actions are going to hurt her father and sisters.

When she made the deal with Ursula, she was terribly sad with her father - and with reasons! So her mind was fogged and she probably thought, like a normal teenager, Triton hated her and/or didn't care about her. People also point out her missing the concert as being selfish. But she had genuinely forgot about it. We all forget compromises sometimes, and maybe she didn't show to the recitals because she doesn't like the idea of singing to a big public.

Like I stated before, Ariel is just being a teenager. Many teens are immature and reckless, though to me she isn't immature. I know most of the princesses are mature for their ages, but Ariel is just being bluntly realistic. In the Renaissance, where Disney was specifically trying to give princesses their viewers could relate to (instead of admire), they had to give these type of teens a princess they could connect with. People say Ariel was dumb in wanting to meet humans, who eat her kind. But again, I disgress. I think it is wonderful that she understood they lived a different culture and didn't demonize them as a group ("barbarians", "dangerous", "incapable of feeling"). Ariel shows interest of learning what more is to them besides that they eat fish. In "Part of Your World", she shows interest in knowing them intelectually, for she is interested with the objects they created and how they work.

Also, I would like to point there are fish-eating dangers in the sea: the sharks are natural predators, and Ursula is seem eating a shrimp (which I don't see as much different from eating fish). Triton doesn't ever consider the option of exceptions to the group, vegetarian humans, just as there are merpeople who eat fish. Ariel also takes a lot of criticism for changing herself for a boy she just met. Really? In her trip to the surface and her observation of the ship, she surely noticed that she and Eric have some interests in common: they are interested in music (he playing the "snarfblatt", her singing), don't like the grand royal life-style very much (his reaction to the statue, her forgetting the concert), etc. Plus, he was brave and caring when he saved Max. So she wanted to know him better, it's simple as that. Besides, she always wanted to be a human. Eric was just the tip of the iceberg, the propellant factor that led her to make a deal with Ursula, just like the increase in the price of the bus price was in making people go to the streets and manifest in Brazil. So, she didn't change herself for Eric. She changed because she wanted to.

Many of my points in the two last topics were borrowed from here: link. It also gives a more detailled insight of why would Ariel be interest to meet Eric."

-Silverrose1991

"I agree very much with Silverrose1991. I've heard many times that Ariel was a selfish brat and she just made mistakes all the time. Others have said she abandoned her family for a 'gorgeous' man. I disagree very much with this. I have my own reasons for this.

Ariel wasn't exactly selfish. She was so excited when she had a chance to change her world, she just went for it with out knowing the consequences. If Ariel knew that for what mess she made or what she was going to make she would have probably prevented hurting anyone. Sure, she hated her dad for a bit and was extremely hot-headed but I'm sure all of us have had butted heads with our parents and felt un-cared for. She didn't know who Eric was but she still wanted love. She really wanted to be with a human since they had such a different worlds and she wanted to discover it. I mean falling in love with a man she didn't know, I'm sure we all, or most of us, have done that before.

She wanted adventure. She wasn't content with just being a mermaid, she wanted more value to life. Plus, saying she married a man she just met and doesn't know is wrong. First off, we don't know if she got married to Eric right away at age sixteen. Though I'm pretty sure she did. She knew Eric for three days while she had her visit. Okay, I didn't make a good point there. She still knew him a but before. You got me, but like Silver Rose said, "They shared interests."

Some don't like Ariel for her appearance. Let me get this straight, have you learned anything from Beauty and the Beast? (To those of you who don't like her for her appearance) Appearances don't matter, it's about the heart. If you don't like Ariel's personality, I respect that. We all have our own opinion. But disliking someone ONLY because of their looks is just wrong. I personally love her fire engine red hair with those unrealistic bangs. And the dresses don't matter. Lots have said they dislike her for her looks and wardrobe, that's a dumb reason not to like her. I'm not saying the person is dumb, it's just a dumb reason.

Ariel didn't actually abandon her family. She lives near the ocean for one. And if you've seen the sequels she keeps in touch with her father, with the ability to turn into a mermaid again. Ariel, like Rapunzel, was wild and chased her dream, she only wanted to find true love, but she loved someone who wasn't her type. The humans are enemies to the mermaids but Ariel still loved Ariel. It's a bit like Beauty and the Beast just with an attractive Adam (though Eric in my opinion isn't very attractive)."

Thank You Silver Rose for letting me join in on you when we both had the same idea.

The weird thing is that I haven't done a list about their original voices, but anyway, since I'm greek, I'd like to make this article first. :) Sorry for putting some non-DP girls, but I put them because I really liked their voices and I wanted to say something about them. Also sorry if the quality of the songs is not good, but it was difficult to find nice greek versions and not fandubs. Enjoy!

15) Ariel: Anna Rossi
This is the '99 version, not the original, but I decided to put that too. I hate that voice! I mean, she can sing well and it fits Ariel better, but she sounds too bitchy and sexy...

About time!

My name is Anna and I live in Norway (believe it or not).
I was born on 4th of July, 1999. I live with my family of four; My father, mother and my big sister.



I have blue eyes, medium dark blonde hair and light skin. I think the DP i resemble the most is Cinderella, but I don't have as tiny feet as her! It could also be Anna, we share the same name, freckles, clumsiness, awkwardness and eyes.

I am outgoing in general, but lately I've been what other people calls an introvert. I'm pretty creative, at least that's what I've heard.

12.SnowWhite and the seven dwarves
Really, I don't hate it, I just don't find it all that interesting. I much prefer movies with action or that at least keep the plot going. The majority of the movie consist of SnowWhite just being so darn lovable with the dwarves, not anything building up at all, she runs away, she has funny bits with the dwarves, the queen comes and the prince saves her. I often find myself going on the internet during it or going some place else. It's cute but it doesn't focus on anything, it just drags on little insignificant scenes. It's very cute, but it could've been...

Ok so we left off on number six so we are on number five.

5.Rapunzel
She has this fun side that is so enjoyable. Most of the time she seemed to be very zest.I love how she's so like able and well-realized.

4.Belle
she's very like able in many ways. First she's very independent and relate able. Just she is much like me. That most of the reason why she's that high on the list.The other reason is that she can say no which is a lot in my book.

3.Elsa
I don't even know how she got this high on my list. Sure i know why i like her.Just she wasn't execpted to be that high. The main reason i like...

Ever since information about Giants came out, people have been looking up information about all the characters, including Angelina. Many people on the Disney Princess wikia have been saying that she may become an Official DP in 2017, after Giants comes out in 2016. Well I hope this information is true.



I know it is way to early to see if she will become a DP or not, and yes I know Anna and Elsa aren't even inducted yet, but I still gave this topic some thought.

Based on the information we know about Giants and Angelina, the movie is said to take place in Italy. Angelina will probably be...

This is a short article just for fun. I've always wanted to do this when other people did it. I would have explained but I think some of the lyrics or self-explanatory already :) At times, I can imagine the Princesses singing the songs and other times, I think the song represents the Princess.

We can do anything if we try
Can't resurrect Gandhi, resurrect king

We can do anything like

13. Mulan

Silverrose1991- She is a wonderfully written character - complex, developed and relatable. I love her selflessness, her intelligence and her loyalty to her father.

dclairmont- I love her devotion to her father and the awkward, quirky side of her that we see. I kind of loose interest in her in the second half though.

sweetie-94- I love how clumsy she is in the beginning of the movie, but as the movie progresses she...
