I had a hard time deciding how I should put the title. So, in case my title looks messed up, this is basically my list of favourite foreign Disney Princess singing voices. I chose the best foreign dubbing for each Princess IMO and put them in a list. Also, as Merida doesn't sing she is not included. This is only my opinion, so of course everyone will have different placings. But please don't be rude about my choices. Enjoy! :)

10: 1959 French Aurora (Irène Valois)

Before you read any further on my list, I have to tell you I have a thing for French voices. So don't be surprised if this list ends up to be 98% French. Anyways, I love how dreamy Aurora sounds in this version, and it portrays her dreamy yet operatic style. But it was a bit too soft for Aurora. I know Aurora isn't supposed to sound loud or forceful, but compared to Mary Costa's original version this Aurora sounds very weak.

9: 2002 French Mulan (Marie Galey)

I love Marie, she's the best French singer, ever! But her attempt in Mulan ended down here because her voice sounds too young for Mulan, and a bit screamy on the high notes. I do love her passion in her voice, but Marie could have done a better job voicing Mulan.

8: 2009 Manadrin Tiana (蕭蔓萱(I don't know what her English name is))

The first non-French dubbing appears! I listened to multiple "Almost There's" until I found the perfect Tiana. Anika Noni Rose is of course, still the best Tiana but this Mandarin version is the second best. I love how her voice sounds very smooth and jazzy, like how Tiana should sound like. But is it just me or does her voice seem really high sometimes? I don't know, so poor Tiana and her Mandarin voice ends up down here.

7: 2010 French Rapunzel (Maeva Méline)

Maeva did a nice job voicing Rapunzel. Yes, she did a nice job. But I can't say anything more than "nice." Maeva's singing was enjoyable, and fitted Rapunzel's bubbly personality well. But it was way too high for a girl who was supposed to be 18. Way too high. But I guess it suited Rapunzel's inner child, and maybe they were trying to capture that childish quality. The Quebec version was also really good, and Rapunzel sounded much older. I was originally going to put the Canadian French version here, since her voice was less irritating and childish. But the Quebec version doesn't sound nearly as passionate as Maeva. Yet Maeva still remains 7th with her "Raiponce."

6: 2001 French Snow White (Valérie Siclay)

Snow White sounds so sweet in French! Considering that the 2001 version was already their 3rd attempt at dubbing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, they should have made careful choices for Snow White. And they did! Valérie Siclay did a better job at voicing Snow White than the two other versions IMO. But Snow White's singing voice is very old-fashioned. Even though they dubbed it in the 2000's, they still had to make it sound like the original. Thus Snow White's placing at 6th.

5: 1991 French Belle (Bénédicte Lécroart)

Belle's English singing is number one on my English singing voices list, but her French voice doesn't get nearly as high. Ironic, since Belle herself, is, French. Belle will definitely sound like Bénédicte if she were real. But, I would prefer it if Belle sounded like Paige O'Hara speaking French. Bénédicte was a good Belle, and everything, but I have one small problem with her voice. During the song "Belle," when Belle was singing to the sheep at the fountain, I keep on thinking Bénédicte sounded a little pitched. A small problem, perhaps, but my top 4, in my opinion, have flawless voices. So, unfortunately Bénédicte stays in the edge of my top four.

4: 1995 French Pocahontas (Laura Mayne)

Hm, maybe I should rename my article to "disneygirl7's Favourite French DP Singing Voices." I'm sorry! I love French dubbings of movies, they usually seem better or just as good as the original. To be honest, Pocahontas sounds identical in every language, except that her voice might be slightly higher, lower or less powerful. I almost decided to put the Mandarin Pocahontas here, but after comparing these two versions I still think the French Pocahontas has more passion and power in her voice. Laura's singing was enjoyable and suited Pocahontas well. I have no problems with her voice. Absolutely none. But why is she not higher if she had no problems? Aaah, that is because this French dubbing is just as good as Judy Kuhn's original. Just as good. There! That's the reason she isn't higher! Laura's version is just as good. Not better. You see, IMHO the top 3 all had better voices in their dubbings than their original voice actress' voice.

3: 1950 Dutch Cinderella (Joke de Kruijf)

Another non-French dubbing surprisingly appears. I listened to the French Cinderella and went: Ew. I listened to the Dutch Cinderella and went: <3. Her voice was much, much better than Ilene Wood's version. Ilene Wood's voice annoys me, believe it or not. I was able to listen to Joke de Kruijf's voice in Cinderella over and over. But not Ilene Wood's. I don't have much more else to say. Just I love, love, love, love the Dutch Cindy, and it is one of the sweetest voices ever.

2: 1992 French Jasmine (Karine Costa)

I know that in the previous Princesses I said I hated it when their voices are really high. But for Jasmine, I prefer her voice as high as possible. Karine does this well. I've listened to "Ce Rêve Bleu" (A Whole New World) millions of times, so much I can memorize the entire song. In fact, I don't sing A Whole New World anymore. I sing Ce Rêve Bleu. Karine is an excellent choice for Jasmine, I enjoy her singing. Everytime Jasmine is about to sing her first line in Ce Rêve Bleu, I always get so excited. Why she isn't higher, I do not know. I guess she just doesn't seem like anything compared to my number one.

1: 1998 French Ariel (Marie Galey)

You take one look at my top, you shake your head. Typical spot for Ariel, right? No. If I were to make a list of my favourite English DP singing voices, the first placement you would see is Ariel. That's because she would have been last. I'm sorry, Jodi is a good singer and everything, but Ariel's original singing sounds lifeless compared to all the other Disney Princesses. I can sing "Part of Your World + Reprises" in French like I can sing A Whole New World in French. Marie is the perfect Ariel. Unlike most people, I detest Claire Guyot's version. Claire sounded like she had a cold while she was recording. Marie sounds so sweet and passionate, I just had to give her the highest place possible.

For my first article I am going to do a prettiest Disney Princess face list. Why just faces? Because I like to vary from the norm. I might do body or hair lists another time. Anyway, shall we get down to business?




11. Snow White
All the princesses' faces have something pretty about them, but Snow White's face is just a little generic for my tastes. I mean, she has lovely brown eyes and rosy cheeks, but that doesn't save her from last place.
Pleasant features: Sweet eyes, ruby lips
Unpleasant features: Slightly chubby face, too generic

That my friends is how you wreak an ending, everything was almost perfect if you take a lot of things from this ending out, like Genie in the moon, the rushed ending, the dragging on of I pick you Prince Ali who you use be tan but now you’re white!

No doubt about it, he's very logical, down-to-earth, intelligent, creative, and has a great sense of humor! He seems like the kind of person who could grow up as a writer or journalist, and always works hard. This guy, like Roger Radcliffe, will never give up!

I once saw an article done on everyone's opinion of this and I thought it would be cool to write an article of my own. There is also a countdown going on about homes and there was one about favorite rooms and they inspired me to write this. So here's my top ten favorite homes.

10. The Chateau

Many years ago, before Cinderella was born and probably when she was probably very little, the mansion was a happy place where her father and her mother entertained the elite and lived in complete bliss. Everyone usually hates this house because it's associate with Lady Tremaine and it looks awful...

MINOR: MUSICAL THEATRE

PHILOSOPHY MAJOR

Probably not what you’re expecting, but I hope to show that Aurora is very suited to philosophy.

To begin with, in Aurora's bedroom - if we look closely - we will see that she has two books. Being the 14th century (a century before Gutenberg's printing press) not only would books be very expensive and rare but literacy rates were very low - even lower considering her demographic: sixteen, female, peasant. By having books at this time, education / knowledge is extremely important in the household...

A MUCH better villain, wouldn't you agree?
A MUCH better villain, wouldn't you agree?
So many times on this site I have talked about why I think Maleficent is a bad villain and I have tried explaining once (Swanpride remembers this) but I ended up using tons of bad arguments and I didn't word it properly so now I want to try it again. If you have any disagreements, I would LOVE to debate about this in the comments so feel free to state your opinions.

What I consider a good villian is not all about cool posing or evil laughs. It's not all about how evil they seem by the way that they act or how many people they get to fear of them. To me, it's all about the ruthlessness, the...

13. Snow White

She is cute, honestly. Yes, I do realize that she is only fourteen, and isn't supposed to look mature. I just really dislike her lips, her eye shape, and eye color. I do like her hair. I think her colors have nice contrast, but I can't seem to get past the face shape and her other facial features.

Please note: I am not a Snow White or Classic Era hater....

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've already made an article like this for link, link, link, and link, and thought it was only right to do one for the amazing Pocahontas. Pocahontas has gone through a roller coaster on my list, most recently being 10th on my list, but I've always loved her. When I first came to the club, Pocahontas was my second favorite, and she's finally joined back into the top 5, now coming in at 4 (3 if you don't count Elsa). Well anyway let's get starting with me talking about why I love Pocahontas!

Pocahontas is great in many ways, but I think there was one instance that really struck me as remarkable,...

The Disney princesses are known for their voices. In some cases, it is the first quality people describe about them. I love music, and I love to sing, so this is something I really love. So here is my personal opinion on the Disney princess singing voices!

10. Ariel
Ariel’s voice isn’t that bad, if it’s your type. Which it’s not particularly mine. I prefer a deeper tone and richer timbre. But if that’s all I have to say negative about it, why is it my least favorite? One little thing: SHE SINGS THROUGH HER NOSE.

Princesses in peasant clothes hanging out.
I've said before that I can't make a ranked Disney Princess list because I love or like all the princesses to a certain extent, so it's impossible to put them in a strict 1 to 13 order. However, some have requested that I just write my thoughts on each one, so I'll do that here. I'll list each princess in order from when she came out.

Snow White - I feel pretty neutral about her. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was one of the first Disney princess films I saw since I got it for Christmas at age three. I liked the movie, but truthfully Snow White never made an impression. She was just kind of...

Team 1989?
Hello everyone, as I did for previous Disney Princess reboots, here is a comparison of the 1989 animated film with its 2023 live action reboot. With that being said, let's dive in!

The Storyline

While the storyline is faithful to the 1989 animated feature, I was very happy that there are several scenes that actually filled in the plot hole. Like we get to see Prince Eric's adopted mother and their relationship between mother and son. tied
Speaking of parental relationship, Ariel's relationship with her dad remains the same, except that in the animated feature. King Triton is a very hot tempered...

7) Bejewelled Princess Dress

This dress is over-the-top! She is not the type of princess who would appreciate being decorated like a Christmas tree and then find that she cannot walk without feeling the heaviness of weight pulling her down. It doesn't suit her at all.


6) Makeover glittery and patterned dress



This is better than the last one but still over-the top. This time it's the gold patterns on the skirt. There's too many patterns. The bodice part is more. subtle with a singular pattern on the side. I like that. But the shiny blue sleeves are distracting. Too shiny. Her headband is...
