Best Disney Animated Female Characters

The Top Ten
1 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.

I think Rapunzel is the best Disney princess because
1. She's artistic and musical. Those tower murals, am I right?
2. She's intelligent. Rapunzel not only reads (like Belle, whom people often herald as "the Disney princess who likes to read" and therefore "the smartest Disney princess"), but has taught herself to do just about a million things in the time she's been stuck in her tower, like CHARTING STARS. And yes, using Eugene as an escort was smart because she'd probably get lost in the huge kingdom she'd never set foot in before.
3. She's able to see the good in others and bring it out.
4. She's selfless. She gave up all her chances of escape from Gothel in order to save Eugene from dying.
5. She pays attention to how others feel. I love that, unlike Ariel, she was concerned about how her parental figure, albeit a fake one, would react to her escape.
6. She loves animals. (And it's not so unrealistic that animals follow her around wherever she goes. She forms real friendships with them.)
7. She was more focused on achieving her dream than in a guy, like Tiana.
8. She's fun. BEST. DAY. EVER!
9. She's relatable. Everybody who wants to escape something that's pulling them back from their dreams loves it when Rapunzel finally steps out of her tower.

2 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 .

While confined to the domestic role, Snow White makes the most of it, her indomitable spirit helping her to form a strong maternal bond with the seven little old men she took refuge with. She's certainly one to be admired, surviving out in the world on her own. Her kindness is a powerful thing, and while at times it's taken advantage of, it also helps her to create strong and loyal friends to support her when she was lost and alone.

I hate it when everybody says snow white is Weak! WRONG! Snow white has her own Personality and she is so kind and gentle! She does not want to fight with people and she is not a bratty princess like some other Disney princesses. By far snow white is the best Disney princess! _I LOVE SNOW WHITE!

Snow white is the best Disney character in the world, she should be at number one! She is the most inconic princess ever! The actress who voice snow white done a amazing job, because when snow white sings it is so beautiful, I loved snow white all my life! Glad she's at the top of this list!

3 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.

Sweet, kind, heroic and badass! Mulan somehow deserves to be 1st, the way she acts and how she saved China is really a great job whereas princesses like aurora, snow white and rapunzel( I like them though) can't do that as they not that brave like mulan. You gotta vote this girl up

Both me and my friend love her! Who doesn't like a Brave and Heroic Chinese princess who saved China and proved that girls can just be as great as boys!

She had character, and was not only strong, but noble. The other older princesses were too... Delicate, and kind of just empty pretty faces.

How are Ariel, Cinderella, Elsa, and Snow White beating her? They did practically nothing, while Mulan saved China!

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

I hate how there are a few haters below, who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Seriously, Ariel is a great girl and she had a dream just like all of you do. She wanted something more in life, something was missing. She just so happened to fall in love with a human, and so of course she would want to be human to be with Eric. She did nothing wrong, she was just trying to figure out who she was meant to be.

Ariel is sometimes having problem with the humans but now, The moral she learn is that having legs aren't special but truly kind is that you have your true love

I think Ariel was a great pick though I still don't understand she thinks that only her looks matter and that she doesn't need her voice I don't get it she is 16 common sense woaman

Truly accepting of everyone she meets, and willing to forgive, despite a persons past

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

In the first frozen movie she left her whole kingdom to freeze and her little sister is the one who has to fix her problems instead of herself, she has improved in the sequel but I still hate how Disney portrayed her actions from the first movie as a cool thing and added her to the official princess line instead of Megara and Esmeralda who were already good role models for kids in the first movies they’re from

This has to be the best example of character development in a movie. Also, she has cool magic and gorgeous appearance, but her personality is all she needs in order to be an amazing character.

Elsa should be number one she is way better than Rapunzel beside
she has ice powers and she can froze her any second.

But She Brainwashes Over 18 Billion 4 Year Old Girls Each Day With Let It Go!

6 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.

For Cinderella, she's coincidence and delicate to the stepmother and sisters even though she don't know they don't even love her but the same, Cinderella is simple and delicated but her inner beauty makes her all perfect inside

In the original, the stepsisters cut off their toes to fit in the shoes.

Cinderella is my favorite Disney Princess of All Time.

Cinderella's story is so magical!

7 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 ...read more.

Belle is smart to runaway right? Why is Belle on this list, she is such a bad example! If a beast keeps your dad hostage in jail and belle promises to stay with the beast what the hell? She does not know what he is like! She could runaway and break her promise

Anybody who says Belle is bad is a dumbass idiot! Why are there so many hates down here?! This makes no sense! Why won't anyone love Belle?! Damn you, God damn you all to Hell!

I love all the Disney princesses! By far Belle is the WORST princess because she is smart to runaway from the castle? She also is just boring

She is a bad example for girls! Apparently her beauty is all that's important and she stays with the beast who kidnapped her dad

8 Megara Meg is a heroine from the Disney movie Hercules. Meg is the love interest for, the protagonist, Hercules. Meg sold her soul to Hades for her boyfriend's freedom. However, the (soon to be ex) boyfriend ended up cheating on her. Meg is scared of getting hurt again. However, once she sees how genuine Hercules's ...read more.

Disney needs to add her to the official princess line.
She is a princess because she’s the daughter of king Oedipus and she’s a good role model because she’s independent, smart, witty and learns to not trust people at first

The best of the best. that badass attitude and yet still she is woman of my taste! And those purple eyes!

She is not perfect... I like her...

Funny and just perfect

9 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.

I loved Alice as a character. She was just a curious young girl and I absolutely love the books. Very sweet character!

I really love alice! I love her blonde hair

10 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.

Aurora is the sweetest Disney princess.

Aurora sleeps for all the film

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

All the characters above her a lame as frick. Get her too number 1 for goodness sake. She is waaaay to underrated while other boring characters seem to be overrated!

I love Esmeralda. I would say she's a more defined character than most of the women on this list!

The thing that makes her an unrivaled number one for me is her breakout song "God Save the Outcast." Sometimes I sing it in the shower or in the rare occasion, I mouth the words in church.

Should be #1, she is the most selfless Disney Heroine. She has nothing and continues to fight for the even less fortunate. She is amazing and deserves all the glory that the whiny self-absorbed Princesses get!

She was one of the ladies who inspired me to stand up for other

12 Anna Princess Anna of Arendelle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 53rd animated film Frozen.

Sorry but Anna is one of the the worst princesses ever

It's Sad That Anna Barley Gets Any Recognition

More exiting character than elsa

Way better than elsa

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

I love tinkerbell, she so brave and lovely

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.

The person below you are wrong. Pocahontas was a hero not just in the movie, but in real life too. She settled the problems between the Indians and White man. Also, she is not boring at all. She is sweet and kind and cool, and we even learned about her in school. I do agree she is underrated, but only because she deserves more attention than she gets.

Pocahontas is so underrated and boring

15 Kim Possible Kimberly Ann "Kim" Possible is a fictional character who appears in the animated television series Kim Possible, voiced by American actress Christy Carlson Romano.

She needs a better looking boyfriend, she is way too beautiful, interesting, and amazing to be dating ugly Ron.

Number 1, the best character ever.

16 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.

Even though she has to take several jobs to pay her way, Tiana never loses sight of her goal. Her emotional struggle is powerful and relatable.

She's so underrated

17 Vanellope von Schweetz

I'm surprised she isn't at the top of the list! She teaches everyone that despite limitations, you can stand out and make a difference (just like Vanellope did).

Vanellope is amazing! She's super relatable for people who get mistreated.

I love Vanellope! She's so cute...

18 Maleficent Maleficent is the main antagonist of Disney's 1959 animated feature film Sleeping Beauty. An evil fairy, Maleficent is an incarnation of pure evil, and is responsible for all misfortune in King Stefan's kingdom.

She is most definitely not a princess.

I like her because she is evil

19 Silvermist Silvermist is one of the major fairies in the Disney Fairies franchise. Silvermist is a water-talent fairy of East Asian appearance.

Silvermist is the best Disney fairy! Disney should make a tinkerbell movie about her

I auditioned to be Silvermist at Disney World!

Silvermist is the best!

20 Cruella Di Ville
21 Tiger Lily

Proud, brave and loyal, Tiger Lily is a positive role model to girls everywhere.

22 Minnie Mouse Minerva "Minnie" Mouse is a cartoon character created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney. She was first drawn by Iwerks in 1928, as was Mickey Mouse. Her former voice actor Russi Taylor (1944 - 2019) voiced her for 30 years & also married Wayne Allwine (1947 - 2009), the former voice of Mickey Mouse. Minnie Mouse is currently being voiced by Kaitlyn Robrock
23 Stacy Hirano Stacy Hirano, often nicknamed Stace by her friends, is a supporting character of Disney’s popular animated TV show Phineas and Ferb.
24 Mabel Pines Mabel Pines is one of the lead characters of the Disney XD animated series Gravity Falls. The character is voiced by Kristen Schaal, and designed by the series creator, Alex Hirsch. She is inspired by Hirsch's own twin sister, Ariel Hirsch. She is a caring, boy-crazy 12 year old girl that spent the ...read more.

I once had a 5 hour conversation about Mabel with my friend. No lie, we love gravity falls.

Mabel is so boring and annoying! Why is she hear?

She ain't no princess, but is just as beloved as one

She funny and she nice and help her twin brother

25 Sofia Sofia is the protagonist of the animated television series "Sofia the First." She becomes a princess after her mother marries King Roland II. Sofia embodies kindness, courage, and adaptability as she navigates the challenges of royal life and learns valuable lessons about friendship, leadership, and responsibility. The show emphasizes character growth and positive values for its young audience.

Sofia is so nice and compassion. She even wears an amulet close to her heart to encourage "good karma". If anything she may be too nice. If I had a daughter I would hope she would also be like Sophia. No wonder she is so popular with young girls.

I love it when sofia meets snow white in the episode 'the enchanted feast'

I really love Sofia! She is amazing

I love sofia shes like snow white x
