Top 10 Most Underrated Disney Princesses

Disney's princesses have enchanted audiences for generations, each bringing her own unique story and charm to the screen. While some, like Cinderella and Belle, often bask in the spotlight, others don't always receive the recognition they deserve. This list highlights those princesses who, despite their compelling narratives and admirable qualities, haven't always been front and center in the Disney lineup.
The Top Ten
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 .

My mom used to read me stories about her as a child. By the way, she literally started the whole Disney princess franchise! Without her, none of the other Disney princesses would even exist.

She's the best Disney princess ever, and she's terribly underrated. What has happened to people nowadays?

Snow White is terribly underrated! I don't understand why. She's perfect!

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... read more

She's more than a convenient narcolepsy joke, which even Disney themselves seem not to realize.

She is underrated. I love her. My favorite Disney princess is Aurora.

She only speaks 18 lines of dialogue.

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.

I feel like Cinderella is underrated compared to other, newer princesses, such as Belle, Jasmine, and Mulan, who actively show that they are strong and independent in one way or another.

With Cinderella, however, I feel she does not receive the recognition she deserves because she is often considered weak. In reality, she is a very strong woman. She endured her evil stepfamily for nearly nine years (from age 10 to 19), and despite all the chores she had to do, she never gave up hope that her dreams would come true. She only broke down when her dress was ruined, and even then, her faith brought her the Fairy Godmother, who helped her achieve her happily ever after. She doesn't need to actively show her strength to be considered a strong Disney Princess. Even her subtle signs are enough for me.

Additionally, her voice actress, Ilene Woods, did an amazing job portraying her.

Jasmine She is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 31st animated feature film Aladdin (1992).

I never see her in any Disney Princess franchise.

Hey, she never made it to the top of any TheTopTens list.

I'd say Jasmine is the best Disney Princess.

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.

I think it's because she's Black.

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... read more
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

You hear so little about her, but she is truly an amazing princess! She's brave, independent, and knows what she wants and doesn't want. She embodies the qualities girls today aspire to have, and she's one of my role models. She didn't marry the guy her parents wanted and instead won them over by staying unmarried. I believe she's a great character who deserves much more attention than she gets.

Horribly heavy Scottish accents.

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.

In my opinion, Tiana, Mulan, Snow White, Aurora, Eilonwy, Kida, Nala, and Maid Marian are the best princesses. To be honest, I don't think Giselle is underrated or overrated because she is simply a copy of the classic princesses.

She's the coolest princess ever. She's perfect for tomboys!

She never had a sequel apart from her live-action film!

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 definitely the most underrated.

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 truly underrated. She's kind, beautiful, and has hobbies beyond waiting for her prince to come. Did Belle expect to get married? No, she said she wanted adventure in the great wide somewhere, not to be married. But if she's happy, I'm happy too. The point is, Belle is really underrated.

She's my hero! Sorry, that was weird. I was an outcast in my childhood, but when this film was released, at age 12, I no longer felt bad about being smart. The next time I was picked on, I said, "Why are you doing this? Can you please knock it off?"

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

Instead of getting a proper sequel, she was given an ugly animated cartoon. Tangled 2 deserves a proper sequel. Come on, guys, this is not funny.

Not given enough credit! You rock, girl!
