Best Animated Female Characters from Disney Movies & Pixar

The Top Ten
1 Mulan Fa Mulan, a character inspired by an actual historic figure is a character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 36th animated feature film Mulan, as well as its sequel Mulan II.

She is queen! She risked her life for her father and she helped lead her army to victory she is like the Chinese Joan Of Arc! LOL!

Definitely the best. While other princesses bravely gave up everything for looove, meanwhile, Mulan saved China!

Mulan is on my list on top ten female badasses in movies! Come and vote for her!

Milan has to be one of the strongest female animated characters I’ve seen in a movie and I thank Disney for doing this right and not turning her into a lovesick damsel like I’ve seen in other movies when the heroine meets a dude. We need more like her who can stand on their own.

2 Rapunzel Rapunzel is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 50th animated feature film Tangled, and its short sequel Tangled Ever After. She is the tenth Disney Princess, the first Disney Princess to be CGI-animated, and the first Disney Princess to have freckles or green eyes.

What! She should be 1st. She is prettier than Mulan with eyes like seeds and lips thin as paper. Everyone is Insane with Mulan, Tiana, Pocahontas, Merida, Elsa and other ugly faces. People just...just have been taught to worship the ugly tomboys than mary sues. But rapunzel is very charming and brave also. She is a perfect mix. Mulan just mudered 1000 soldiers and acted to be helpless one who can't do anything but can do at the last moment. She was stupid when Mushu sneezed and she said her name as 'Achhoo' and could have changed her clothes and removed her makeup when Li Shang came. And if the pain was not reacting when u saved Li Shang, why u fainted afterwards, Mulan? But Mulan is still nice.

She has a goal in life and always tries her best to achieve it.

My favorite Disney princess

3 Snow White Snow White is a fictional character from Disney's first ever film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves . She is Disney's first ever Disney Princess and is the only Disney Princess to have her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame .

She needed a man to save her...no girl power here

BEST princess ever created

She fell for an old witch trick.

4 Elsa Queen Elsa of Arendelle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 53rd animated film Frozen.

She treats HER OWN SISTER like she is some ANNOYING DOG she doesn't want to hear.

Then, she runs away while HER OWN PEOPLE almost FREEZE TO DEATH while she sings A SELFISH SONG about the cold not bothering HER anyway and doing whatever SHE wants to do (while making a revealing transparent dress with a high slit in the side).

Afterwards, she SHOOTS HER LOVING SISTER IN THE HEART with ice.

Then she makes an EVIL SNOW DEMON to try to kill her OWN SISTER and ONE OF HER OWN SUBJECTS.

And, then, she thinks she can fix everything and win her subjects' hearts back by crocodile tears after she already MURDERED HER SWEET LITTLE SISTER.

The only reason why Anna is still alive at the end of the STUPID MOVIE is because she is so AWESOME, SWEET, LOVING, FORGIVING, and utterly AMAZING.

Elsa deserved to be STABBED TO DEATH.

I don't care. Your hateful comments (which I can see coming) will NEVER BOTHER ME ANYWAY. So there, lovers of this horrible movie ...more

How About The Worst Because She Has Brainwashed Over 5 Trillion Little Girls Across The Globe And Making Their Parents Go Suicidal

She was a monster, she started a big mess and Anna had to go and fix it all, she is nothing but a burden to be honest!

No! I accidentally voted for her instead of Snow White! I hate elsa! She's the worst!

5 Judy Hopps Officer Judy Hopps is the protagonist in Disney's 2016 animated feature film Zootopia. The first rabbit to be in Zootopia's police force, Judy is determined to make the world a better place while breaking preconceptions about other species. Teaming up with a fox named Nick Wilde, she sets off on her ...read more.

Out of all these characters here's why Judy Hopps is the best. She's determined, helpful, honest and hardworking. Now look at all the other characters, they're princesses who just looked pretty and had a prince save them. The princesses don't have the outstanding qualities of the first bunny cop in Zootopia, Judy is a good role model to all to see beyond bigotry and political corruption.

She's smart,awesome, and doesn't need a man to make her happy.She's also better than annoying Ariel and overly-annoying Rapunzel combined! (Just don't tell the Rapunzel fans-they'll come after you with torches and want your head on a stick).

I like characters who are tomboyish, smart and awesome that Judy had proved. I like her adventurous personality and her style, go Judy!

Not only does is the main protagonist in the film, but she represents female empowerment

6 Ariel Princess Ariel is a fictional character and the title character of Walt Disney Pictures' 28th animated film The Little Mermaid.

She saved Eric and she broke her daddy's rules! You go girl!

The most beautiful singing voice.

My gorgeous girl.

I love her voice

7 Aurora Aurora is a fictional character from the popular Disney Film, Sleeping Beauty and the 2015 Live Action Release, Maleficent. She is commonly known as Sleeping Beauty and is one of the group Disney Princesses. She is a unique Disney Princess as in her film, Sleeping Beauty, she has a total of 18 minutes of screen time and 18 lines (excluding the song she sings, Once Upon a Dream), unlike the other Disney Princesses who are featured in their films for nearly the entire film.

Why is she on the list? She needed a man to save her!

8 Tinkerbell Tinker Bell, is a fictional character from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan and its 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy.

Yes! She is super sassy and cute! You gotta love her!

9 Dory Dory is a major character from the film, Finding Nemo and its sequel, Finding Dory. She is a blue tang known for her short-term memory loss and tends to forget almost everything, even the fish that she knows personally. This makes the mission to find Nemo even more difficult for Marlin.

Ok I'm sorry how is dory number 9? This is crazy! She is so funny! And inspirational! She has to be the best. She is 10x better than any disney princess. After all she taught everyone to just keep swimming.

Dory is the best! She's hilarious!

I like sand! Sand is squishy!

10 Joy Joy is the main protagonist of the 2015 Disney/Pixar animated feature film "Inside Out". She is one of the five emotions inside of Riley Andersen's mind and serves as the leader. Hence her name she is very positive and optimistic and wants nothing more but for Riley to be happy.

Joy is crap. I hate inside out

Don't like move to sad

The Contenders
11 Belle Belle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 30th animated feature film Beauty and the Beast (1991) and in the live action remake Beauty and the Beast (2017). Belle is the intelligent and selfless young daughter of an inventor who does not conform to the normal ways of her small minded village.

The best Disney princess. I can't believe she was forgotten. Belle is way more than a feminist poster child. She's smart, witty, loyal, adventurous, and has a very pretty design. Plus her romance with the Beast is, oddly enough, the most believable in all of Disney canon.

Belle is the best princes of all time. She is animated very well, but she can't beat; Mulan, Rapunzel, Ariel, Snow White, Elsa, Judy Hopps, or Dory. Either way she can beat Jasmine though.

One of my smart fictional character, I love her and I think she and Mulan are the best!

She's so COOL. And pretty, witty, kind and brave

12 Alice Alice is a fictional character and protagonist of Lewis Carroll's children's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass.

She's cool and pretty and brave. That's what I like about her

Alice is really cool, actually.

13 Jasmine

Jasmine needs to be in the top 5. People don't like her just because she's an arab

What this below aurora

14 Pocahontas Pocahontas is a title character in Disney's 33rd animated feature film Pocahontas, and its direct-to-video sequel Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World.

She's my most favorite princess and she's been put on second on my list of favorite princesses

I love Pocahontas I was her in my school project

I love her and movie

I just hate her

15 Esmeralda Esméralda, born Agnès, is a fictional character in Victor Hugo's 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

She protects her people, kicks ass, fights for justice, judges by what's inside and has a goat. The best female character by Disney, case closed.

16 Moana Moana is the protagonist of Disney's 2016 animated feature film of the same name. Born on the island village of Motunui, Moana is the daughter of Chief Tui and Sina, with an inherited love for the seas and voyaging. When her island becomes endangered, Moana is chosen by the ocean to journey across the sea to save both her people and the world.

What! Moana should be in the top tens! She is awesome and determined and brave and GAH! Why isn't she higher

17 Merida Princess Merida is a fictional character from Pixar's first ever Disney Princess film, Brave. She is a talented archer who wishes that she were not destined to become the Elegant Queen of Dun Broch. She is forced into a marriage betrothal by her mother, with whom she has a very negative relationship. ...read more.

She's my most favorite princess, though she doesn't behave like one

Maybe she is little ugly but she is better than those damsels!

Only princess that ends up without a man, girl power

One of my favorite movie characters ever!

18 Tiana Princess Tiana of Maldonia is a fictional main character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 49th animated feature film The Princess and the Frog.
19 Cinderella 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 QUEEN.

20 Vanellope Von Schweetz

I love Vanellope. I find her adorable, and the passion and excitement that she has really makes her an enjoyable character.

She is super cute and has the most adorable and funny personality! She is quirky, unique, and just special!

She's adorable and funny. Too bad they don't accept her

21 Lilo
22 Anger

Hello? Anger is a MALE character. What kind of idiot put this one on this list?

Was somebody confused and thought that since Anger was a part of Riley, that makes him female? Cause it doesn't.

Notice the title says FEMALE characters, Anger is a male character

You could have put this as "Riley's Mom's Anger" instead of just "Anger"

23 Riley Anderson
24 Mrs. Potts

She may not be a princess but she is still amazing. who wouldn't love a talking teapot

25 Edna Mode Edna Mode is a fictional character from Pixar's Incredibles Franchise. She is a well-known suit designer for super heroes of all kind. She has a slightly spunky attitude and firmly believes that your costume should be powerful, while still looking good.
