My Ranking of the Disney Princesses
posted by sunnyfields
I have seen other people post their own ranking of the Disney Princesses, and since I'm new here, I thought it would be fun to do my own ranking.

I would love to hear your comments about your own ranking and thoughts about my ranking of the Disney Princesses.

Thank you so much for creating a welcoming community where I feel comfortable enough to post my personal opinions.

My ranking of the Disney Princesses has changed a lot over the years, but this is my current ranking for 2019.
14. Merida: I really wanted to like Merida as I have a Scottish heritage and family still living in Scotland, but she harmed her mother and didn't seem to care.

I like that she mended her relationship with her mother later, but I wish she had thought about the possible consequences of her actions.

13. Tiana: I like how Tiana works hard for what she wants in life, but I also feel like she works too hard at times. She doesn't take a step back from her life and realize that sometimes things happen for a reason.

Belle can have a temper at times and not really find the happiness in her situation at the beginning of the movie, so I don’t relate to those parts of her as much, but she is still a great character.

I preferred the live action version of Cinderella more as she was willing to stay optimistic and tried to keep the deer safe from the prince as I am an animal lover.

Family is very important to me, and I would do anything to keep them safe, but I am not even close to being as brave as she is, which is why I don’t relate to her as much as others on my list.

Even though she was scared of hurting Anna, I feel like she should have at least spoken to her rather than being too afraid to leave her room. Family is really important to me, and I can’t imagine shutting them out the way Elsa did.

She stood up for what she felt was right while looking on the inside rather than on appearances. I think that she was a little rude to the suitors, and she could have just said that she wasn’t interested in them rather than embarrassing them.

I also try to be kind to those who may have wronged me in my life, and people may see me as naïve or gullible as I do tend to give people many second chances, so I relate to Snow White in that way.

I had to decide if I should choose the path that would please my family by becoming a doctor, or if I would follow my dream of becoming a teacher. Pocahontas is truly inspiring how she doesn’t waver in her beliefs and follows her dreams.

whatsupbugs Great article.
sunnyfields ^ Thank you. :D
MaidofOrleans Great article, and thank you for sharing your list! I like how you structured your article with your opinions in the captions of the photos, that is a refreshing change from the wall of text you normally see. My list is suuuper different from yours: your top two are my bottom two, and my top 6 are your bottom 6. It seems like we rank them based on different things. Based on what you said here, it looks to me like how much you relate to a princess has a strong effect on where they fall in your list, whereas I rank the DPs more based on how much I enjoy them as a character. I can definitely see why you ranked them the way you did though! Thanks again for sharing.
sunnyfields ^ MaidofOrleans Thank you for your lovely comment :). I wasn't quite sure how to do the formatting for this, and the captions took a long time because they have a word limit, but it was a lot of fun to make and find pictures for. I do rank them a lot based on how I relate to them and their situations, but my top two favorites (Rapunzel and Anna) are also my favorite characters to watch in general as they inspire me to remain optimistic and find joy in life despite obstacles I may face. I still have a lot of anxiety, so watching these characters be carefree and joyful is really inspiring to me. When I feel like I can relate to a character, I form a stronger connection to that character and can understand why they do what they do in the movie. When I see myself in the character, it also helps me in my real life as I see how they work through their situations. Thank you again for your thoughts. I look forward to the many more posts I'll read on this cite. I hope you have a wonderful night. :D
asteriamalfoy I'm glad you were able to fix the article so that all the text would show! I also really liked how you included two pictures per princess. It's a refreshing change. It's funny how we have a lot of similarities in princesses but differences too. Ariel, Jasmine, and Pocahontas are still some of my top favorites even though they've fallen down your list. On the other hand, I'm so glad to see Aurora and Snow White so high! I love the classics and wish they got more respect from the general fandom so it's nice to see that you love and cherish them so much! I like Anna a lot as well, more than Elsa, which really surprised me, but Rapunzel is actually one of my least favorites. Yet, your infectious description of her makes me want to like her more than I do, something no one else has been able to do before. Also love how you included live-action Cinderella here. I love both her and the animated one equally. I'm also an ISFJ personality so it's great to meet another one! Thanks for posting such a well-written and interesting article!
sunnyfields ^ asteriamalfoy Thank you so much for commenting. I am glad to find another person who enjoys many of the same characters that I do. I know I have an unpopular opinion about liking Aurora, Snow White, and Anna more than Elsa. I absolutely loved the live action Cinderella, and think she might even be in my 3rd or 4th spot if I had included the live action versions separately from the cartoon characters. I just love how cheerful and optimistic that movie is despite having a lot of similarities to the original, but the original was darker and less hopeful, in my opinion. I am glad that you are starting to like Rapunzel more. She became my favorite the moment I saw her movie, and I connect to her so much. She is very cheerful and a character that is truly inspiring and an epitome of the Disney magic. It is also nice to meet another ISFJ. :) Thank you again for your lovely comments. :D
Mongoose09 This article is really cute, I really like the format. Our lists are quite different but I love that you have both Aurora & Snow in your top 5; Tiana, Belle and Cinderella are much higher on mine but I understand why they're lower on yours. Rapunzel is on the lower part of my list but she's growing on me recently and I get why people like her. I noticed the Princesses you found yourself relating more to tended to be higher. nice & unique list. :)
sunnyfields ^ Mongoose09 Thank you so much for reading my article. I have been pleasantly surprised by how many people here seem to like the original princesses since the news and other online articles seem to make the originals seem weak and not good role models. When I was making the article, I thought about moving Cinderella up, and since I saw the live action remake this year, I have really grown to like her character more than I did when I was younger (just like I now like Snow White), so who knows, maybe she will make it to my top 5 someday, too. A lot of the princesses in the middle of my list have moved around quite a bit. Like Elsa used to farther down, then at spot 6, and now she has landed at spot 8, so I feel my enjoyment of the character depends a lot on what i am going through at the moment and which one inspires me for my current situations. I still really admire characters like Mulan and Tiana, so I hold nothing against them, and if I were to rank my favorite Disney princess movies Mulan would be higher on my list and Frozen would be near the bottom. I know that it may seem strange that I like the characters I relate to or ones I find inspiring and optimistic, but the princesses really helped me at different stages in my life and now that I am trying to grasp the idea of being an adult. Also, it is kind of like a "get to know me" activity, which I also saw some people posting articles of. :) Thanks again for reading and the sweet comment. :D
Princess Belle Trivia & Goofs - credit to Imdb
posted by PrincessAyeka12
I, myself only knew 8 out of 24. Who knows, you might know more than me or know less than me. Either way enjoy reading and absorb the knowledge!

Trivia

1) Art director Brian McEntee color-keyed Belle so that she is the only person in her town who wears blue. This is symbolic of how different she is from everyone else around. Later, she encounters the Beast, another misfit, also wearing blue and with blue eyes. It symbolized good in the film whereas red symbolized evil (the color of Gaston's shirt is red). A notable exception to this code is Gaston's blue eyes - making him the only Disney villain...

Vincent Van Gogh's Japonaiserie After Hiroshige (1887)
I love art! I love culture, history, music and I love art. I have done some posts and polls about the Disney Princesses in reference to music, culture and fashion but not art yet so I thought I would do that next. I like to think of the Disney Princesses as "cultured" young women who have manners, etiquette, decent universal knowledge and appreciation for the arts. So, in my theory of the Disney Princesses being cultured, albeit each at their own levels, here are the paintings that I think each Disney Princess would love the most. (I could probably find a Van Gogh for each of them as I absolutely...

Disney Princesses and their Villain Counterparts
posted by scarletunicorn
Happy Halloween! After much thinking about this, I think I finally came up with another article that i'm sure would be interesting to talk about.

Everything lives in a balance. there can't be good without bad, light without darkness, etc etc...The dichtonomy of ying-yang and how they complement each other is a subject that I find fascinating to read about, and mostly to apply it to other things. Something interesting i noted is how often in Disney the villains are pretty much the exact opposite of the heroes, but they often sometimes come from a same base. And in that base, they have much in...

sweetie-94's Scariest DP Movies

I find majority of the DP Movies to be a bit scary, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible to make a list of the scariest movies, but it wasn't an easy list to do, but as usual I hope you'll enjoy this article

12. Cinderella

Okay so the bottom 3 are the only ones I'm really sure about and especially number 12, I mean do I even need to explain why it's last? But luckily it's there for a good reason, but despite being last it does have a few scary moments, but nowhere near as much as the movies above

11. Frozen

DP Villain Songs Countdown

Because I am still in a musical mood but also ready for the "autumn/Halloween" mood, I'd like to incorporate the two! There aren't many DP villain songs overall but I came up with at least 9 that were good enough to use for the sake of this countdown. I rated each of the songs against how villainous the lyrics were, how villainous the music sounds, how villainous the scene that accompanies the song in the film is and how villainous is the goal of the villain (or just the villain itself) singing the song? I ranked each song in the 4 categories and then ranked them overall by accumulative "evil"...

DP Villain Evil Laughs Countdown
posted by laylastepford
It is the month of October which, in reference to DPs, definitely makes me think of the villains! Since I enjoy themes, October will have a "Halloween, Autumn, or Villain" theme in most of my posts. This one is going with Halloween & Villains! I still cannot add any photos to these articles but I will be doing so as soon as possible. I only included the villains that I actually remember doing an "evil laugh" in their original film:

9. Governor Ratcliffe- Pocahontas: Not really an evil laugh, more of a "bad person" laugh. Not too scary.


8. Lady Tremaine- Cinderella: Although it's evil,...

My ranking of DP hairstyles

I have recently learned that the red hair is a recessive gene and will eventually die out in centuries to come. To think of it, it is very sad as I absolutely love the fiery reds. So this article is inspired from this recent learning and to dedicate to my favourite hairstyle among all princesses.

13. Cinderella:
I hated putting her so down, especially she being my 3rd favourite princess. I hate the length of her hair, its like neither here nor there. I'd say, being a house maid, the pony with simple tie-band suited her purpose. I actually liked her cute little braids in the morning. But when...

Props to link for posting the link When I came up with answers for the 2nd question, favorite music or songs, I really liked them so I wanted to share them as an article.

Snow White- All You Need Is Love by The Beatles: Simple tune with a heartfelt message and catchy melody. Reminds me a lot of "A Smile and a Song".
"All you need is love
All you need is love

Disney Princess Friend Groups (Including Elsa & Anna)
posted by laylastepford
Hey everyone! So a really talented writer on this site had posed a question about which princesses fit best as friends into friend groups. This made me very happy because I honestly think about this all the time (Disney Princess crossovers) so I was excited about the opportunity to read other fans' opinions. After reading many people's opinions and putting careful thought into this, I believe I have come up with groups that best fit the personalities involved. I would love to hear what you guys think, see if you agree or disagree and why so please feel free to leave detailed comments. Thanks!...

My Ranking on DP Movies Villan
posted by anukriti2409
Since I'm being so villainous, it seemed like an appropriate time to share MY OPINIONS on DP movies villains and rank them in order. (Joke intended :D)

So here goes:

1. Maleficent:
with her one nasty evil stroke, she set the stage, She didn't dabble in small time efforts. Her character is the most alluring and unique. She was a fairy, but an evil one. She has the aura of an enchantress. I loved her confidence when she took the stage while casting out the spell.
The best villainy traits: downright evil, need no disguise, doesn't flaunt but does every act confidently and with most style.

A Disney Tale: A young princess narrowly avoids death on the command of her evil stepmother.

The dwarves put her inside a glass coffin until a prince comes and kisses her, releasing her from the spell to live happily ever after.

Merida Defense

It is quite obvious that Merida is not particularly beloved on this spot. Placing last place in just about every countdown done recently, and probably in many to come, Merida needs more love. I used to hate Merida, so I totally understand why people dislike her, but I can't help but wonder why she is hated on, yet people fall in love with Ariel and Jasmine. Oh, I am not going to hate on Ariel or Jasmine in this article, they are both in my top 5. Merida is currently fourth on my list, inches ahead of Jasmine, and inches behind Cinderella.
