*cuing annoyed Charlie Brown scream*

I have been so frickin' busy this time of year and I put off practically everything I should be doing. But I still have 4 articles to go counting this one.

In said article, this one will be my favorite Disney Princess movie and why it's there.

Now for the record; I want to say none of these are my favorite Disney movie, but a few of these are top 10. I'm going over favorite Disney PRINCESS movie. I myself prefer the underrated Disney movies, but that's just me.

Moving on...

Favorite Disney Princess Movie

These are my opinions, I'm also doing this article solo, please tolerate and respect them as I do yours.

10. Sleeping Beauty

Are you all surprised Pocahontas isn't 10, yeah, me too.

But I rewatched Pocahontas recently among Nostalgia Critic's Disneycember commentaries, and it's still the same as I remember; bland, kinda boring, and I still want it to hurry up and end.

However, I also rewatched Sleeping Beauty. Or I should say Sleeping Beauty droned on in the background as I got distracted on the computer by something cooler.

Sleeping Beauty is just a filler movie. Yes, the artwork is breathtaking, animation isn't that bad, and the climax w/ the dragon is FRICKIN AWESOME...

...but those are about the only things people like or remember about Sleeping Beauty.

The movie itself doesn't even focus on Sleeping Beuaty herself. You get more scenes of the 4 fairies and the two kings and drunk jester guy. I remember not being interested in Sleeping Beauty either. I would always fast foward her part to get to the fairies. So that's kind of a bad thing when a little girl who's supposed to like the princesses wants to fast foward all the parts with the princess to get to the fairies. And the music- though it's from a legitimate ballet- is boring at times. Only when things get exciting (which is rare in the movie) does the music get exciting.

I feel it lacks story and main character development. Even the villain didn't really have a good enough reason for being "The Mistress of All Evil"- but I'll save that for another article. I also heard somewhere that someone on the Disney staff said it had the look of the film but lacked the Disney warmth. Though I'm unsure what the Disney warmth is, I agree. All the movie was was beautiful backgrounds with a frickin awesome dragon scene that was too short for me.

Oh and whenever I babysit 4 year old Annie and 2 year old Kenzie and I ask what movie do they wanna watch, they have never once said Sleeping Beauty. I've seen it clearly on their shelf and I've suggested it, but they say no. So a 4 year old and 2 year old Disney princess loving girls don't want to watch Sleeping Beauty? Huh, sounds like me when I was their age and even a little older. Sleeping Beauty just misses the mark and I feel could be so much better.

9. Pocahontas

I said it's still bland, boring, and I want it to end faster and it's at number one. Why? Well unlike Sleeping Beauty, this clearly has story. It obviously focuses on it's titular heroine and I give it serious credit for that. The music isn't bad either considering it's 8 time Oscar winner Alan Menken and Wicked creator Stephen Schwartz.

So why don't I like this movie? Honest truth is I wish it was more true to it's history. When we started to learn about Pocahontas in elementary school I was so excited because I felt 'Hey I saw the movie I know all about her'. Then we learned the truth, then we watched the movie after. I honestly felt cheated and betrayed. I like knowing things and being right and here it was nothing about the Disney version was right. Granted it's Disney and it had to be kid-friendly, but still; couldn't they stay true to history while keeping it family friendly?

Another slight issue is the animals. While I like them the most, they don't talk. It's a Disney movie where we're used to the animals talking and in a movie where it's a good idea that they should talk considering trees do and maybe Native Americans who live off the land can understand the animals, the animals don't talk. To me, it seemed appropriate that they should talk here, I wanted them to talk in this movie, but they didn't. This is a slight issue because in the end, I still think the animals are cool.

I don't really think I really liked Pocahontas, but I know I tolerated more than Sleeping Beauty.

8. Mulan

If I've said it once I said it a thousand times, I haven't seen this movie the whole way through and I don't have a way for me to do it without watching it in different parts on YouTube or a decent quality on other sites.

But from what I remember, it was kinda funny. I liked that Mulan was never a real princess and that she kicked some ass (pardon my french). I loved the army buddies too especially when they dressed in drag.

But honestly, I can only recall bits and pieces from the movie but I don't remember where in the movie it occured all the time. I know the drag part was near the end, but I can't recall where other pieces were.

I'm sure it'd be higher if I saw it more than once, but I don't really have anything bad to say about it so that's kinda good.

7. Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs

Forever branded with the subtitled the one that started it all. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful it did but there are reasons why this is low for me.

IT FRICKIN SCARES ME!

I'll admit it; I'm 19 years old and I'm scared of this movie. A Tale of Terror wasn't as scary compared to the original Snow White.

Maybe I was a little too dramatic. It doesn't scare me as bad as it did when I was little, but it still freaks the crap out of me. Back when I first saw it, the scene where the huntsman was approaching her with the knife and the forest terrified me. Nowadays, not so much. The forest is kinda cool, and the huntsman's eyes during that scene only a tad bit. I remember I was also scared of when the dwarfs first came to their cottage and my distracted little mind forgot Snow White was there and when they thought there was a monster there, so did I. Then I remembered Snow White and I freaked when they were gonna kill her. I was like 'NO! NO! DON'T KILL SNOW WHITE!' Ah to be young again.

But what's scared me about this movie then, and still does to this day is the witch. I think I can classify this as a phobia. I CANNOT LOOK AT HER! This started when I was four; first it was her voice, then I put the looks with the voice. But my Gramma said it was always her costume that terrified me. I always wanted to watch this to try and conquer my fear (and because I love the dwarfs), but it never worked. I can listen to her now, but still can't look

And please don't torment me w/ pics of her like my so called friends used to do I am legitmiately scared of her.

Aside from being scared, this movie's heroine isn't much of a heroine, the prince was never in there, the music and songs were annoying, and all I liked was the story and the dwarfs.

See, it's not only low because of my fear.

6. Tangled

This is mostly due to the fact that I didn't see it until fall this year and no matter where I went everybody spoiled this movie. I did thoroughly enjoy it, but it was too spoiled for me.

Another couple of reasons is behind the scenes stuff. This movie was originally called Rapunzel and she was going to be voiced by one of my favorite singer/actresses Kristin Chenoweth. I knew it was gonna be all computer done, which I preferred 2D, but I said eh, I still wanna see it. Then they changed the title. Not only did they change the title, the marketing technique was designed mostly for boys to get interested in the movie.

All in all, I still liked the movie, Mandy Moore was a good replacement, but it was too spoiled for me. Yeah, occasionally I like to spoil things for other people, but not an entire movie! And I'll admit, when I watch a movie on TV somewhere in the middle I look up spoilers to see how it ends; but only during the middle!

A part of me also wishes Tangled was 2D hand drawn animation.

5. Princess & the Frog

A return to 2D animation and the classic fairy tale. Hallelujah!

I love the story, I really do. I love the characters, they're awesome. I love a couple of songs...notice I said a couple, I would've loved more if Alan Menken did the music instead of Randy Newman.

I guess this is 5th because I saw this when I was 17. By then I was more grown up then I was when I watched the other DP movies pre 2009. Maybe it's also because this is a more modern spin on it and isn't a time of true magic, but more voodoo junk.

I also liked that Disney broke ground and created an African-American princess. I just wish she wasn't so serious and eased up a bit on work. Still, I like her, and I like the movie.

4. Little Mermaid

Fun fact; I used to be terrified at the scene when Urusla turned Ariel human. I guess the lady villains frighten me more than the bad guys. Evil girl power, yeah!

I know I say some pretty negative things about Ariel, but I still like her. But if we're being honest, she wasn't what I liked about the movie so much. I'm not sure how else to word that, but there were things in the movie I preferred to her.

Namely Sebastian. Sebastian makes this movie for me. I love his character, I love his songs, I love that unlike Ariel his character acutally changes. Growing up, I loved Sebastian, and I still do. And he also made the TV series work for me too. Bonus; like Ariel, Sebastian's never had a different voice actor. And Samuel E. Wright didn't just do one Disney thing no, no, no. He released solo records as Sebastian in the 90's and he starred as Mufasa in the original Broadway production of Lion King.

I love the music in this movie, I love how they took a more family appropriate approach to the original fairy tale (trust me on this the original fairy tale is dark and depressing). The villain was cool, the sidekicks were epic, the prince was okay, and Ariel had a lot of cool moments too.

3. Cinderella

This was one of the first ones I've seen without being terrified of!

I love everything about Cinderella. The heroine, the story, all the other characters, and the different variations other cultures created of the story.

Now for the anylisis of the Disney version. The heroine- check. The story- check. The other characters- uh...sure.

I love the mice, they helped keep interest in the movie. The stepmother, she was a good villain and she didn't need magic. The fairy godmother, I wish they expanded her role a little. Lucifer, a better villain than the stepsisters at times. The stepsisters, okay. I loved the commrodery between the King and the Duke, I even like the Duke.

It's the prince I have issues with.

I heard the story first before the movie. Like Cinderella, the prince was a big part of the story. In the movie, what good was this guy? He's a major reason why this movie isn't in the top 2 spots.

And yeah, I feel like the movie was filler at times with the mice, so that's another reason. But it's still a classic and I still love this one.

2. Aladdin

I felt this one was mostly for boys seeing as though Jasmine wasn't really a central character.

But it didn't matter to me because I still loved this movie. I loved the adventure, the romance, the characters, and the voice acting was great too. Bonus, the TV series was pretty awesome too.

Why is this number two? I guess it's another character focus issue. As much as I love this movie (like me it's 19 years old) I loved the princesses. I wish they would've shown more of her. I think you got some more development of her in the TV series and she didn't even appear in some episodes.

Still, I love Aladdin, I love that it wasn't just for girls, I love the TV series, and I love that this one was funny and still could be emotional.

Did I mention that this is also a product of 1992? Because it is...like me!

1. Beauty & the Beast

I watch this movie once a month because I love it.

Granted there are some serious issues with plotholes, but I don't care.

The characters, the story, the artwork, the music, it all just takes me away.

Much like Cinderella, the villain doesn't rely on magic and I like that. I like that a lot of things in this movie is realistic.

In addition to Cinderella, I feel I can relate myself to Belle. We're brunettes, we love wearing blue, we like to read, we want more in our lives, we'll do anything to protect our loved ones even if it's not the best thing to do, we honor promises, and we feel like outsiders in our soceity. Besides Belle, I love the side characters, especially Lumiere.

What else do I like? The romance. We don't know how long it takes them to fall in love, but it isn't love at first sight and it takes a while. The transformation scene is near perfection, and even though it uses recycled animation from Sleeping Beauty, I love how it uses the recycled animation.

I really don't have anything bad to say about this movie (without going into details about plotholes) and I don't think anyone else does either. It's a tale as old as time and this movie can stand the test of time and people will still love it.

Bonus; this was the first Disney movie to have a pop song at the end sung by Celine Dion & Peabo Bryson, both of whom I like to listen to.

Well, that's my list. These are my opinions, thank you for respecting them.

Here are some pics of movie posters. I tried to get original ones or video covers. And for the record, the Snow White one is up there because that animation is different than the movie animation. Please enjoy

Yes, my list changed again. Please don't be too shocked when you read the results. I worked hard on this article, and more importantly, I worked hard on deciding. 9. Ariel
Even if you tried to come find me, I lock my windows and doors at night, and I have an attack dog, so yea. Ariel is my least favorite for many reasons. She's selfish, makes stupid decisions, leaves her family for a guy at 16, and a lot more. Sorry Ariel fans. 8. Tiana
Sorry Tiana, you just didn't impress me. She just doesn't know how to have fun, and she falls in love with Naveen out of the blue. It doesn't seem like she has...

Everyone else was doing it, so I decided to make one of my own. Please keep in mind I like all of the princesses, just some more than others. So scroll down and enjoy my article!!!! 9. Aurora
I do like Aurora! Honest! It's just that I don't get to see much of her. I like it when characters show a lot of personality on the big screen, and Aurora did show some, but not much. We see she likes animals and dreams about true love, but that's about it. She could've been higher on my list if she showed more personality. 8. Jasmine
I know know, most of you are probably wondering: "Why is Jasmine so...

9. Snow White's Castle
I'm sorry, but the only thing that seems good about this place is that it has a few nice balconies that you can stand on while your man serenades you. Other than that, it's a very dark, eerie castle. Of course it's ran by an evil queen so that makes perfect sense.

8. Prince's Castle (Snow White)
The scene with the Prince's castle is one of the most beautiful scenes in all Disney movies however, we can't really see it. It seems more like a mirage made of light in the clouds if you ask me. It's obviously beautiful, but we have no idea what it actually looks like inside....

Hey i'm new here so I just want to say that I will give my honest opinion and I probably don't swear half as much as the average teenage girl. I think. Just a little uh...preview of me there hehe.

Moving on, I will evaluate the princes on not only looks but what I found hot about their personalities too since I believe in all that "looks aren't everything" crap. Also keep in mind that this is just MY opinion, some may agree some may not that's your prerogative just please don't fight me about this.

PS: I know I should've put images but I just found out how and will probably add them later.

Cinderella was dragged off to Lady Tremaine's house. Cinderella tried as hard as she could to break free but it was no use. Lady Tremaine took Cinderella up to the attic.

"You worried me to death young lady. Me and your step-sisters cried every night because of how much you worried us. When your father died I could have thrown you out into the streets but did I?" said Lady Tremaine

"No you didn't" said Cinderella

"Who let you stay? Gave you food? A room and bed? A roof over your head?" asked Lady Tremaine

It's a nice sunny day Cinderella felt that there would be nothing in the world could ruin it. Christopher was happy too her finally has a friend and still hasn't told Cinderella he's the prince, he felt like he must tell her today. He doesn't think she will care about his power but care about him. They care for each other very much. Back to the story Cinderella was danceing in a flower field all day, she didn't pick any because she didn't want to make the field of flowers any less beautiful. It's now sunset Christopher is going to tell Cinderella he's the prince.

"Oh Christopher look at that...

How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down, then you'll never know

The daughter of a Native American tribe chief and English soldier share a romance when English colonists invade 17th century Virginia.

Again, Poca is at the bottom of my list. People usually make points that it is aimed at a more mature audience, and I'm still a kid, so that's probably why I find it boring.

you all are probably sick of these right now and are wishing me an early death, but everyone else is doing it and i'm not going to drop dead, no matter how hard you wish it.

8. Snow White

I know everyone thinks this, but too bad. I think her only truly beautiful scenes are when she's asleep, and otherwise she looks a bit young, cute at best.

7. Belle

6. Pocahontas

5. Tiana

4. Mulan

3. Ariel

2. Cinderella

1. Aurora/Jasmine

My top is a tie between two differently gorgeous girls. Aurora is generically pretty like Cinderella, but she can pull it off with the slightly different hair color, the style of her hair, and her body. She's gorgeous in every way. Jasmine is incredibly exotic. She has skin somewhere between Tiana and Belle, and it basically is a beautiful, year-round tan. Her hair is silkily black like Pocahontas's, and her body is fantastic. Her eyes are giant, sexy, and brown with thick lashes. She is every Project Runway contestant's dream.

Lady Tremaine went to the guards.

"Oh please you must find my step-daughter the poor girl" cried Lady Tremaine

"Don't worry mam we'll find her" said a guard

"Oh please, please do I don't know how I'll live without my dear Cinderella I Love her like she's my very own daughter" said Lady Tremaine

At the house.

"Why are you going threw so much trouble mother for that little nobody" asked Drizella

"Yeah we can get another maid" said Anastasia

"This is the path I choose Father, what will yours be?"

Choosing my least favorite is always the hardest part for me. Pocahontas is just too serious for me, it's weird because she's the rare type that's kind of boring but still has a sense of fun at the same time.

Cinderella managed to escape during the night with her friends, however she had nothing with her to eat. Her puppy Brunno chased after a boy with food. Brunno jumped on the boy.

"Brunno get off that boy right now! I'm so sorry he can't control himself sometimes" said Cinderella

"It's okay miss. May I help you?" asked the boy

"Oh I don't think you can" said Cinderella

"You don't know who I am do you" asked the boy

"No I do not now I bothered you enough I should be going" said Cinderella

"WAIT! I have some food we can share. My name is Christopher by the way" said the boy

Here is my opinion on the best and worst princesses.
I know some of the images look dumb but I edited some of them. Many fanpoppers know that I do not make images and I have just started.

Remember that I don't hate any princess.

I know there are many Cinderella lovers out there but she is my least favourite (she doesn't have a pink dress by the way.) I admire her sassyness and I think out of the 3 originals she is the most sassy. I also love her line "I have the other slipper" and the song "Sing sweet Nightingale"....

Ahh, the famous line, Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all? The mirror said this young lady, but I beg to differ. She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, just not as pretty as the others. But hey, this was made in the 30s, ideas of beauty change over the years.

8) Mulan
China's heroine. Her hair is very pretty at the beginning, even still cute when it's short. She has an excuse for not being as pretty as the following, Disney had to make her to be able to pass off for a man.

Imaginative Princess Countdown Results!

Disney Princesses vary in multiple ways, and how much they imagine is no exception. Some of them are very down to earth, and quite realistic, while others are very much in their own world, constantly dreaming and creating new visions and ideas in their heads. This is a rank of the least to most imaginative Disney Princess.

9. Pocahontas



Pocahontas was determined to be the least imaginative princess. This is mostly because she doesn’t having the flaming ideals and dreams that most of the others have, because she was generally unsure for most of the...

Wait and see, when we're through, boys will gladly go to war for you...






I like this song so much because I adore this scene where Mulan is getting ready to meet the matchmaker. I like watching her get dolled up!

My heart has wings, Mmmm, and I can fly...
My heart has wings, Mmmm, and I can fly...









I love this song because it reminds me of when you first fall in love with someone. Everything seems brighter and sweeter. You literally feel all lit up inside. This song pretty much sums all of that up.

So back in my junior year of high school I was obsessed with Tigi Bedhead Products.
Bedhead products.
Bedhead products.


These are bedhead products. Me and my friend used to be obsessed with hair and obsessed with Bedhead's stuff. We bought their products with ferver. I made a checklist of all the stuff I needed to get. I got close to having the whole collection. Sadly, but probably better for my mental health, I am no longer obsessed with their products like I once was, though I do use some of their stuff still. One day I was bored in one of my classes and decided to write a tribute to Bedhead Products....

If you havnt noticed before those lyrics send the message "No matter who you are rich, poor, whatever....your dreams CAN come true!"
