Yeah, wasn't sure how to title this one. Basically, I'm gonna go over the voices of the princesses and why they're top. You can expect some information too including voice actresses.

And yes, if you know/tolerate me, you can expect another thing from me that I'm sure ticks people off, but this is my opinion so...

...I don't think I have to explain myself with that one.

Favorite Princess Voice

10. Snow White

God her voice annoys me. I give serious credit to Adriana Caselotti for being an operatic singer by 17 years old (the same age she was when casted) but for today's standards, it's annoying. It's way too high pitched both singing and speaking and it makes her sound more and more immature than her teenage age. Plus, how many girls have you heard trying to match her voice but fail horribly? Yeah, imagine a headache like that from a few girls in a choir class. I wish it was more mature sounding, but I don't think Disney wanted a mature voice for the 'little princess'. Even as she aged, Caselotti's voice still remained as high pitched and annoying. Think about this: have you heard anything else from Snow White's original voice? Can't think of anything? Well that's because Caselotti bascially sold her voice to Disney and never had a career afterwards. In the end, she doesn't get a career and we get stuck with a high pitched princess.

Hey fun fact for you movie lovers: Walt Disney is credited for being the inspiration for Wizard of Oz due to the sucess of Snow White. AND during the song 'If I Only Had a Heart', you can hear Adriana Caselotti, the voice of Snow White, sing the line "Where for art thou, Romeo?". Cool huh?

9. Aurora

Sorry, I'm not really a fan of the operatic voices. And what sorta irks me is that Aurora's speaking voice is all innocent and high, but when she starts singing she suddenly turns into this opera diva with a seductive voice. I'll admit, I do like to sing, but I can't hit high notes and hearing Aurora (and even Snow White) made me feel worse about my alto voice. Much like Snow, girls in my choir tried to emulate Aurora to slightly better results, but still...don't try to mimic the original. Unlike Adriana Caselotti, the voice of 3 names (inside joke from two previous articles), Mary Costa, was able to have a sucessful operatic career and last I heard, she still does opera stuff. Her voice today has aged, yes, but I think Mary doesn't talk like speaking or singing Aurora. She just uses the normal voice that I would have liked to heard in the movie. If none of you think that, it must be me. I'm not gonna lie, I've had major ear issues since a double ear infection and my hearing's been so-so, so don't be afraid to admit your opinion on Mary Costa's voice.

8. Pocahontas

She upped one, way to go! I really appreciated the fact that they hired Native American actress Irene Bedard to voice the Native American princes, but I would have loved to hear her sing. Then again, I don't think any of the Native American voice actors in that movie do their own singing. Again, correct me if I'm wrong. Judy Kuhn is a great singer, but I don't think Judy's voice was a good fit for Pocahontas. Boo me all you want, but that's my viewpoint on it. I don't really care for Pocahontas in general, but at least it hasn't been last in anything thus far.

7. Mulan

Again, appreciate that Ming Na, an Asian, is voicing the Asian Heroine (Mulan's technically not a princess folks). Lea Salonga is from the Phillipines (so she's technically Asian too) and has a spectacular voice that worked for Mulan considering Mulan sang all the songs. When princess' singing voices are dubbed, you gotta make it work. This one did work from what I can recall (I've only seen Mulan like one time the whole way through). But Mulan's still kinda low because her voice was partly a fake man voice during the course of the movie too.

6. Belle

Paige O'Hara, what can I say? I can say she was at her peak in 1991 when Beauty and the Beast was released and her voice was a good fit for Belle. Then we reached a new decade. Oh Paige. You can tell her voice has aged, and not well. If you're not listening to aging Belle via Paige, you probably heard her second voice actress in House of Mouse during the Christmas song Jodi Benson, aka Ariel. This is why Belle has dropped out of the top 5. If it's not an aging Paige, it's the little mermaid.

Seriously, listen to the Disney Princess song "If You Can Dream", you can tell time has not been kind to Paige O'Hara's voice.

5. Rapunzel

When it was first announced Disney was making Rapunzel (before the title change), the original voice was going to be Kristin Chenoweth. I fangirled. I am a huge fan of Kristin Chenoweth whether it be Wicked, Pushing Daisies, anything she's in, I am a fan. Then it was announced Mandy Moore would be Rapunzel. I was slightly dismayed, but still okay because I'll admit, I was a fan of Mandy Moore. I grew up listening to her teeny bopper music, and she had done something Disney related prior to Tangled- Princess Diaries if you're interested. She did do speaking and singing, and it was pretty good. While I'd rather have had Kristin Chenoweth, Mandy Moore was still pretty good.

4. Jasmine

Fun fact, Linda Larkin was told she had to lower her voice. Linda is a high pitched speaker, but she still made a good Jasmine (whether anyone feels Jasmine needed a middle eastern voice or not). You can tell her voice switched in and out on occasion in anything Aladdin related she's done. Linda Larkin was the speaking voice, however; and there have been not one, but TWO different singing voices for Jas. The first one being Mulan's singing voice Lea Salonga. Lea's voice was absoultely perfect for the one song Jasmine sang in the original movie. But Lea did not return for the sequels. Granted she did do Jasmine's singing voice in Enchanted Tales and "If You Can Dream", but not for Return of Jafar of King of Thieves. No, that voice was dubbed by Liz Callaway. Liz is no stranger to dubbing singing voices: she dubbed the singing voices for Kiara in Lion King 2, Odette in the first Swan Princess, and most famously Anastasia in Anastasia. So she was chosen to be the new Jasmine singing dub. And honestly, she was pretty good. I love Liz's singing voice and seeing as though they couldn't get Lea, Liz did a good job as the back up option- thank God that Brad Kane was able to still dub Aladdin's singing voice. Sure I wish Jasmine's voice was consistent, but you gotta give credit for Linda Larkin for doing the speaking voice of Jasmine for anything and everything Jasmine related.

Fun Fact: Liz Callway's sister Ann sang the theme song to the show "The Nanny". Weird, eh?

3. Tiana

Again, they got an African-American to voice the African-American, way to go. Anika Noni Rose is best known for co-starring alongside Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls, and she beat out celebs like Alicia Keys, Tyra Banks, and even co-star Jennifer Hudson. Anika has the perfect voice for Tiana both singing and speaking. I love that her voice wasn't too high, but it wasn't that low either. It was just right.

2. Ariel

Everything was about the voice for this one. Jodi Benson landed the role of Ariel thanks to her working with the movie's songwriter Howard Ashman in the show Smile. Since landing the role of Ariel- both singing and speaking- Jodi has been the only voice for the princess. And that's good because Ariel's been in practically anything Disney what with the Little Mermaid show, Kingdom Hearts, House of Mouse, anything to bring the Disney princesses together, heck Jodi's even voiced Belle. I do like Ariel's voice, I'll admit (I liked it more when she didn't talk though 'cause the character was annyoing). Her voice, like Anika Noni Rose's for Tiana, was just right for Ariel.

1. Cinderella

Groan all you want, but this is my opinion!

I stated I loved practically everything about Cinderella and her voice is no exception. Ilene Woods (who I'm peeved DID NOT get recogintion at the Oscars in Memoriam) didn't even audtion for the voice. Some friends of hers were songwriters for the movie and they asked her to do a demonstration for how actresses should audtion. Well once Mr. Disney himself heard her voice, he hired her for both singing and speaking. And what a great move that was. I don't have much to say that I haven't said already. It wasn't too high, it wasn't that low, to use a different term, it was mezzo-soprano and it was perfect. Her voice conveyed any emotion for Cinderella give whatever circumstance the character was in and it was just perfect. As for Jennifer Hale, the current voice of Cinderella, she's doing pretty well too. I don't like her as much as I love Ilene, but she's a good Cinderella too.

So don't sue me for my opinion. And I will say, don't expect to see Cinderella first for everything.

To compensate for any inconvience, here are images of the voice actresses that I have mentioned above. No captions this time due to me having a massive headache for the past few days and not wanting to think.

And yes, all that info on voice actresses is from memory. So if there's anything wrong, feel free to correct me. Also, I know I neglected current voices for Snow White and Sleeping Beauty but that's because there hasn't been a definitive current voice since the original actress passed or retired. That, or I couldn't find any decent pics.

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 already made one on singing so I thought I'd move on to speaking..sooo yeah..This will probably be really short since I can't say much other than "ew you suck" or "you're pretty cool", so I decided to just do descriptions under the pictures because it's so much easier that way. Oh yeah and I'm not including Anna/Elsa since sorting out eleven voices is hard enough and I can't figure out where I'd place them. If I had to choose Anna would probably be around seventh and Elsa would be around tenth. Tell me what your list would look like in the comments! Thanks for reading :)
11. Mulan-Finally a list that doesn't have Belle or Ariel at the bottom.  Her voice is the only one that slightly annoys me.  I just don't find it very emotional or interesting.

8. Pocahontas-The only list you won't find Pocahontas high on.  I love her movie, her personality, her beauty, her music, but her voice is just alright.  It's not very expressive in my opinion, but it can convey excitement and anger, which I like.

The unseen force released her, pushing her into the person whose home she’d just broken into. They tumbled to the floor, and Elsa was only aware of three things: her icy magic, glaring into the petite girl’s arms and covering them in frost, the angry, painful burning sensation caused by the girl’s glowing hair; which was draped over the former queen’s prone figure, and the fact that the red-headed assassin was standing on the windowsill, an arrow in her bow and prepared to do her job. All of this meant one thing, and one thing only.

Elsa was going to be killed, her death punctuated...

I've already made an article like this for my top 7 (link, link, link, link, link, link, and link), and thought it was about time to make one for my eighth, Jasmine. Despite Jasmine's "low" place, I really, really love her! If you don't include Anna and Elsa on my list, she's actually sixth. I've really been warming up to Jasmine lately, moving her slowly out of my bottom 5 and there's a possibility that she could move up even higher. This will be a scene-by-scene review, so it may get quite long. So let's get started with the article!

I made this same list nine months ago, and thought it was about time to update it! Anyways, I find all of the princesses beautiful, so just because one of your prettiest is low, I still find her extremely beautiful. Well, let's get started!

13. Merida
Previously: n/a

I really don't want to have to put Merida here, but someone had to go here! I absolutely love her hair; the color is so warm and rich, and I also love her piercing blue eyes, but sadly I just can't put her any higher. If her head was just stretched out a little more I'm sure I'd be able to put her higher, but for now, she's last....

I will be adding some non-princesses to this list!


15- Merida- Sorry to say this guys.. but I find her hideous. I find no beauty in her at all. She's weird looking. Especially with the animation she is in. To the people who like her I'm not saying anything bad about her I'm just stating my honest opinion so please don't get offended.

14- Kida- I find absolutely nothing appealing to her. I always thought she kind of looked like a man. She also as white hair and weird eyes.. how i that beauty? Again, just my opinion no hate.

13- Rapunzel- I just think they could of done better.. I don't like the...

I just wanted to write a list but I remembered that I have already write one with the Prettiest Female Heroines in the Childhood Animated Movie Heroines club (the link is at the comments). I didn't want to write the same things about the same princesses, so I'll mention only the princesses that I don't think they are so beautiful. Let's begin.

Anna
Placement in my Prettiest Disney Princess List: 13th

Sorry Anna! I just don't find her so pretty. I don't like her nose and her lips are too thin. I like her eyes, their color is amazing, but sometimes they look kinda odd, like they're too close...

Here's my countdown of my favorite princesses!

My decisions aren't set in stone- they change every other week! So, this isn't permanent- except for the lucky princess who stole first place! ;)

"I like that Tiana brings in variation to the line up."
"I like that Tiana brings in variation to the line up."

10. Tiana
I like that Tiana brings in variation to the line up. I love her- she has a strong determination, she's smart and she does have a little humour in her. Her loyalty to her father is so sweet, she never gives up on her father's dream :') The movie just goes downhill for me when she turns into a frog, it goes downhill- she loses...

♥ Excuse my laziness. I'm fucking tired.

9. Aurora

They should call her A-bore-a. Hahahahahaha. I have a comedic gift. That was so punny. Anyway, you snooze you lose and since that's exactly what she did for the majority of the film, she gets ninth spot. She seems very sweet and is extremely pretty though. She actually has one really funny moment that people seem to forget.
Phillip: When will I see you again?
Aurora: Oh never! Never!
Phillip: Never?
Aurora: Well, maybe someday.
Phillip: When, tomorrow?
Aurora: Oh no! This evening!

She's super cute as a kid and has an awesome solo...

I've written this type of article before, but I haven't ranked my favorite songs from each DP Movie yet so I decided to give it a try, also decided to do this so I could add songs from Brave and Frozen which I didn't do in my previous article since I wrote it before the movies where released. I don't dislike any of these songs so just because a song is last on this list it doesn't mean that I don't like that song. So anyway let's get started :D

12. A Whole New World

Just a few years ago this song was very popular and very overrated imo, while majority of people has realised that this song...

This is an article I should've written when I first joined fanpop, but I usually have a hard time figuring out my favorite princesses like a lot of you guys. Anyway, here we go.

13) Pocahontas
I love her movie and her relationship with John Smith, but it seems to me that she isn't as outgoing as the other princesses. I love how she is adventurous and free-spirited, but other than that I'm not really one of her biggest fans.

12) Aurora
I haven't watched Sleeping Beauty in forever, but I find Aurora to be beautiful and elegant. After I watch Sleeping Beauty again, she might move higher on my list....

Okay, this is by far the EASIEST list- WAAAYY easier than my link. I change my mind ALL the time but I think I can be content with this list. Let me just kick if off and say that NONE of them are ugly.. some are just prettier than others. :-P Now, let's get on with it...


10. Rapunzel
Okay, I think that her eyes are so MASSIVE! Also her head is too big for her body. Unless she has a REGULAR head but a SMALL body? o.O She looks so young- maybe 13?- she definitely does not look 18. On the bright side, she'll love it when she's older! She looks cute and pretty in half the scenes, the others...

One Song from each film From Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen This was hard because I love a lot of songs in each film *CouchPocahontasThePrincessandtheFrogTangledandFrozen* so hopefully I can rank this just right.

12: One Jump Ahead Reprise ~Aladdin
Aladdin is personally a hard movie to rank for favorite song, the songs aren’t the best songs mainly because their all filler. But One Jump Ahead Reprise is mainly the song that makes the movie. Sadly I don’t like Aladdin’s singing voice.
