My Top 10 Favourite Disney Princesses
A list of my Top 10 Favourite Disney Princesses.Keep in mind:
1. It's just my personal opinion.
2. Only official princesses appear in this list (so non-official princesses, such as Vanellope, do not appear in this list).
3. Princesses who already have become Queens are also included, as long as she was born as a Princess (this is true about both Elsa and Anna, as both sisters were born as Princesses).
4. Spoiler Alert: There are some spoilers from "Frozen II".
Notes: Despite Vanellope appearing alongside the Princesses in "Ralph Breaks the Internet", I do not consider her as an offical Disney Princess because (a) She is a video-game character and (b) she is too young (she is only physically nine years old, but her game exists for 21 years as stated in the sequel). Also, despite Disney now owning Lucasfilm, I do not consider Leia Organa as an official Disney Princess because (a) Lucasfilm, who made the original Star Wars trilogy she starred in, were independent at that time and (b) she is not from an animated film (at least the canon films are not animated)
Princess Cinderella is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 12th animated feature film Cinderella and its sequels Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time. Cinderella is the titular main protagonist of the Disney film same name.
Reasons why I ranked her as #1:
1. She was abused by Lady Tremaine, Drizella and Anastasia for nine years, but she still remained kind and optimistic, being a very good role model for anyone. She only broke down after her dress was torn apart by her step-sisters.
2. She truly cares for Jaq, Gus, the other mice and the rest of the animals, as seen multiple times in the film.
3. In "Cinderella II: Dreams Come True" and in "Cinderella III: A Twist in Time", despite the fact that she was previously abused by Anastasia, she still forgives her and does not bear her any grudges. On the contrary, in "Cinderella II: Dreams Come True", she even helps Anastasia to stand up against her mother and sister and to find her true love, and in "Cinderella III: A Twist in Time", she even protects Anastasia (disguised as Cinderella) from Lady Tremaine and Drizella.
4. She has a very beautiful singing voice, thanks to her voice actress, Ilene Woods (1929 - 2010), and any song she sung in the original film, including the deleted song "Dancing on a Cloud", is amazing.

Reasons why I ranked her as #2:

2. She saved Elsa from Hans when he tried to kill Elsa at the cost of her own life. Fortunately, she was defrosted thanks to Elsa.
