Top 10 Best Disney Princesses

The Top Ten
Mulan (Mulan) Mulan is the central character in Disney's Mulan, released in 1998. She disguises herself as a man to take her father's place in the Chinese army and fight against the Huns. Mulan is known for her bravery and intelligence, ultimately saving China and earning respect for her actions.

I read the plot of the live-action Mulan movie, and it sounds like it's going to be disappointing. The one Disney remake that could've actually worked, and they're ruining it. I'm probably still going to watch it since Mulan is an awesome character. She's the kind of character that all girls should take inspiration from. She proves to people that women aren't weak. They are also very tough and strong. She even manages to save China all on her own.

She also cares about her family quite a lot. She's not the character who needs a man, even though she still ends up with a man later on. I don't think it's even an opinion that Mulan is the best Disney princess ever. This should be a fact. She is an amazing character. The live-action movie may not sound like it will be good, but hopefully, it surprises me. No matter how bad it might be, it will still be better than the terrible Mulan sequel.

Belle (Beauty and the Beast) Belle is the lead in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, released in 1991. She is an intelligent and independent young woman who loves reading and dreams of adventure beyond her provincial life. Belle's kindness and courage help her befriend the Beast and break the spell that holds him and his castle under enchantment.

GO BELLE!!! For one, she is an excellent role model. She truly has a servant's heart, doesn't judge people by looks, loves to learn, and doesn't fall in love with a charming but jerky guy.

She is also beautiful inside and out.

Belle is amazing. She stayed positive and didn't originally dream of a man. Yes, she fell in love, but only because she found someone who accepted her for who she was. She sacrificed herself for her father, which I might add is actually braver than Mulan's sacrifice. Why? Because wars happen all the time. Mulan literally knew what was coming. She knew a lot about wars. But Belle? Belle had a Beast. She had never seen one before and didn't know a thing about it. You don't see that every day. But she still did it. That is way braver.

She doesn't judge by looks and doesn't immediately fall in love with someone due to how handsome they are. For the first time in Disney history, it was the Princess who saved the Prince. And who made it possible? Belle. But best of all, she doesn't care what other people think about her. She had it bad, with a whole town of people mocking and gossiping about her, calling her strange and funny for reading. But she kept reading. She didn't care what other people thought. That's what we should all aspire to be. We should never care about other people mocking us because they're just words.

Belle was so kind-hearted that she was able to make the Beast kind and friendly. She was willing to help the Beast when he was hurt. She's selfless and almost never puts her needs before someone else's. Belle is hands down the greatest Disney Princess. Who cares about appearance? Who cares about what other people say? For beauty is found within.

Snow White (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) Snow White is the protagonist of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, first released in 1937. She is a kind and gentle princess who befriends seven dwarfs after fleeing from her evil stepmother, the Queen. Snow White's story revolves around her escape from danger and eventual rescue by a prince.

Snow White is definitely the best Disney princess! Now, people just like the princesses such as Elsa, Belle, Mulan, or Rapunzel because they are strong, brave, and independent. They have big dreams too, right? Snow White has all those things! What's wrong with you guys?

One of the hardest-working princesses is Snow White. She has to work hard day by day, and the queen could kill her anytime! She has big dreams, like any other Disney princess. You might think that princesses like Belle are poor because she lives in a shabby house and her life is hard. But look! She still has the love of her father and lives happily through the day.

How about Elsa, Anna, or Jasmine? They're too happy: living in big castles, never having to work (or at least do some chores), and their parents love them so much (of course, if they are still alive). But Snow White or Cinderella have to work hard in their own houses without any love or care! They are still optimistic and never complain about their lives. Snow White also treats others well. Her kindness is endless! What more do you want from Snow White? Why can't she be in the top spot? Answer me!

Rapunzel (Tangled) Rapunzel is the main character in Tangled, a 2010 Disney film. She is a princess with long magical hair, kept in a tower by Mother Gothel, who uses her hair's powers to stay young. Rapunzel embarks on an adventure to explore the world beyond her tower with the help of Flynn Rider.

1. She's way more intelligent than Belle. Reading is just one of Rapunzel's skills, while the adoration of Belle's intelligence is basically based on her reading Jack and the Beanstalk.
2. She's got crazy diplomacy skills. She'd probably charm all of Corona's criminals and enemies. Sure, Mulan's a fantastic warrior, but there's also such a thing as a fantastic peacemaker. You lose a lot fewer people if you don't engage in war every time a country threatens you.
3. She's kind and selfless and would have the unwavering loyalty of her people. So when she grows up, whatever decision she makes is going to be done with little to no questions asked.
4. She's got guts. If a guy tries to assassinate her while she's alone, she can whack him over the head with a frying pan.

Jasmine (Aladdin) Jasmine is a central figure in Disney's Aladdin, released in 1992. She is the princess of Agrabah, known for her independent spirit and desire to marry for love rather than tradition. Jasmine becomes an important part of Aladdin's journey as they work together to defeat Jafar and protect the kingdom.

Jasmine is a perfect role model for young girls. She is fierce and won't be taken advantage of. She is kind and compassionate. Let's not forget when she gave the bread to the children. Jasmine is also smart. Remember when she tricked Jafar. She has a tiger as a pet!

She doesn't want people telling her what to do. She uses her voice and stands up for herself. Her song Speechless (aka the best Disney princess song) is a good example of this. She teaches everyone to stand up for themselves, which is important, especially for young girls. Like Jasmine sings in her song, she won't be silenced. No one should be silenced! This is what Jasmine teaches everyone. People have to know how important they are and how important their voice is. Jasmine is a role model for everyone. She teaches people they have to stand up, speak, and make change in the world.

Tiana (The Princess and the Frog) Tiana is the heroine in The Princess and the Frog, a Disney film released in 2009. She is an ambitious and hardworking young woman who dreams of opening her own restaurant in New Orleans. Through a magical twist, Tiana becomes a frog and embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and love.

I kissed a frog, and I liked it. This is one of the rare times in which the woman saved the man and not the other way around. Despite getting together with a prince at the end of the film, she's shown to not need a man. She's willing to work very hard to achieve her dreams. She's also very tough in certain situations.

Tiana was the last 2D animated princess Disney created. I wish The Princess and the Frog got more attention. It's only been nine years, but I already consider it a classic. Tiana is the best character in the movie.

Ariel (The Little Mermaid) Ariel is the protagonist of Disney's The Little Mermaid, released in 1989. She is a curious mermaid princess who dreams of living in the human world. Ariel makes a deal with the sea witch Ursula to become human, ultimately finding love and uniting the human and underwater realms.

Ariel will always be my favorite. Contrary to what people who clearly haven't seen the film in years think, she is a fantastic role model and Disney Princess. She tries to explain her curiosity and interest to her father but is constantly shut down by him and never given a chance to express herself. Surviving in a male-dominated ocean, she breaks the mold her sisters are happy to abide by as she goes out and explores her passion.

Ariel does not let herself be confined by her father's prejudices, which I think speaks volumes about her character and is very relatable today. Also, she doesn't throw everything away for a man. Eric was her extra push to finally go out and achieve her dream of being on land. Let's not forget Ariel is only 16, and during the film's time period, it was normal for girls younger than her to be married. Ariel wants to find true love like all Disney Princesses and most women, so she shouldn't be condemned for doing so.

Triton was very horrible in dealing with Ariel's desire to explore the shore. He destroys years' worth of her collections and constantly screams his opinion without giving her the chance to express herself yet again. So, understandably, Ariel is definitely going to want to find out if the grass is greener when she isn't getting it back home. Ariel is not a greedy character. She did not ask for her father to sacrifice himself. She made her decision, and just like in real life, we deal with the consequences of those decisions. She is driven, hardworking, optimistic, and knows what she wants, thus making her the perfect Disney Princess!

Cinderella (Cinderella) Cinderella is the main character in Disney's Cinderella, first released in 1950. She is a kind and gentle young woman who endures mistreatment by her stepfamily. With the help of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella attends the royal ball, meeting the prince and eventually finding her happily-ever-after.

Cinderella is a kind, loving, gentle princess who always tries to see the good in everyone. She is such a nice character that I care about what happens to her in the movie. She lives with two evil stepsisters and an evil stepmother. It's a pretty bad life to be living. She has to put up with so much torment, kind of like how Kelly Marie Tran had to deal with extremely mean Star Wars fans, which caused her to leave social media. She's such a nice lady, I don't know why people felt the need to harass her.

Anyway, Cinderella managed to accomplish her goal of going to the ball, meeting a prince, and living a happy life. She totally deserved it since she is such a kind girl with good morals. The live-action version of her is also very kind-hearted, but the problem is she's TOO happy. The animated character at least gets upset when she needs to be, which makes her a more relatable character.

Merida (Brave) Merida is the protagonist of Disney-Pixar's Brave, released in 2012. She is a skilled archer and the princess of a Scottish kingdom, who defies traditional expectations of her role. Merida's story focuses on her quest for independence and her efforts to repair her bond with her mother.

Why do people hate Merida? She acts like a cranky teen at first, but she makes up for it. Despite not always agreeing with her mother's decisions, she still very much loves her. She even tries to protect her after she turned into a bear.

Merida is better than people give her credit for. She's very adventurous and she's not afraid of anything. Her skills provide for some excellent action scenes that are just so entertaining to watch. Her archery skills are top-notch. Her sword-fighting skills aren't bad either. Also, her hair is amazing. And yes, she is an official Disney princess even though she's from Pixar.

Speaking of Pixar, I've been hearing really good things about Incredibles 2.

Moana (Moana) Moana is the titular character in Disney's Moana, released in 2016. She is a courageous and adventurous young woman who sets sail across the ocean to restore the heart of Te Fiti and save her island. Moana's journey highlights her strong will and leadership as she reconnects her people with their voyaging heritage.

Oh, Moana, she's so fearless, has a connection with water, which is really cool, and she's determined, loyal, and smart. That's all I have to say because everyone knows she's awesome.

How is she not in the top three? She saved her people. She's better than Anna, Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, and Ariel. All those people and more! This is ridiculous!

She is so brave and willing to help her people.

The Contenders
Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) Aurora is the main character in Disney's Sleeping Beauty, released in 1959. She is a princess cursed by the evil fairy Maleficent to fall into a deep sleep on her sixteenth birthday. Aurora is eventually awakened by a prince's kiss, which breaks the curse and restores peace to the kingdom.

Despite considering her the second worst Disney princess, I don't actually hate her. She's a lovely character with a beautiful singing voice and a very kind attitude. The problem is we don't see her a lot in the movie. We don't get to know a lot about her.

I feel like she will have more screen time in Wreck-it Ralph 2 than she does here. When people discuss Disney princesses, she's rarely ever brought up. She's so forgettable. She's the princess with practically no personality. Then again, it's better than having a straight-up terrible personality like Ariel.

Pocahontas (Pocahontas) Pocahontas is the main character in Disney's Pocahontas, released in 1995. She is the daughter of a Native American chief, known for her deep connection to nature and her bravery in seeking peace between her people and English settlers. Pocahontas plays a key role in preventing conflict and building understanding between different cultures.

Pocahontas is pretty cool, I'll admit that. The movie she's in, however, is kind of boring. She made the movie slightly more interesting since she knows quite a lot about nature. She can even talk to trees, somehow.

Of all the Disney princesses, she has the best singing voice. The songs she sings are so powerful because of her voice. She's very adventurous and very brave. She even ends up saving John Smith.

Unfortunately, she doesn't really have a lot of memorable moments. Not even any memorable lines of dialogue, which is a shame because she could've been such a great character.

By the way, I do not like the way she looks in Wreck-it Ralph 2. Also, I found it weird that we actually see her hair flowing in the wind, or in this case, the lack of wind!
