OK, hi everyone! *waves* I'm sort of a lurker here. This is my first bài viết in this spot. I haven't watched Công chúa tóc mây hoặc the Princess and the Frog (because both phim chiếu rạp came out when I was studying for my exams. Damn!), so I won't include Tiana hoặc Rapunzel in this list. I probably will incorporate them in a later list, once I've watched both movies.
Anyway, so here are my favourite princesses (starting from the least favourite one.) I'll also write what I think is their main characteristic.

Snow White
"The Sweet Princess"
I first watched Snow White when I was six. I thought she was just too...sweet. I know that sounds odd. Her voice, her looks, everything. TOO SWEET. For me, there's two kinds of figurative sweetness. There's melt-your-heart sweetness, like Bambi. However, there's sickeningly sweet sweetness. And that's Snow White. Her voice made me want to break something. If bạn could get diabetes from listening to something sweet, just listen to Snow White's voice.
(BTW, what happened to the turtle? I'm glad Snow got her prince and her lâu đài in the sky, but I sat through the whole thing needing to know the whereabouts of the turtle.)
I guess I just didn't like her because I was a tomboy, and Snow White is definitely the opposite of a tomboy.

Aurora
"The Beautiful Princess"
Another one I watched when I was little. In fact, Sleeping Beauty was the only DP movie I had on tape. Aurora is blessed with the gift of beauty. I definitely enjoyed her thêm than I did Snow White. She is a princess, but sometimes she comes off as a queen. And very beautiful. I loved the vision of her which Maleficiant gave Prince Phillip...golden hair, long eyelashes and red lips. However, I think Aurora wasn't được trao much screen time, compared to the other DPs. If she had had thêm screen time, I would have liked her A LOT better.

"The Gentle Princess"
Honestly, I don't have much opinion of Cinderella. The film focuses thêm on her story, than her actual character. My opinion of her is that she's gentle, kind and compassionate. However, I wish she'd thêm backbone in standing up to her stepsisters and stepmother. She has a horse, she could get it to kick them hoặc something. hoặc poison their dresses, that was a huge favourite in Victorian era. At least DO SOMETHING to get back at them.

hoa nhài
"The Kick-Ass Princess"
It may come as a shock that I actually like Jasmine, despite placing her in the middle of my list. When watching Aladdin, I focus thêm attention on Aladdin, Genie, and Abu than Jasmine. However, I think hoa nhài looks out for herself, is resourceful, fiery and intelligent.
#4
Belle
"The Bookworm Princess"
A lot of people say Belle's intelligent. I'm not sure about that. She reads, yeah, but đọc doesn't equal to intelligence. She was đọc a fairytale, not a book about rocket science hoặc quantum physics! But I tình yêu her compassion for the Beast, her tình yêu for her father, and her ability to not judge a person bởi their looks.
#3
Ariel
"The Curious Princess"
I loved Ariel as a kid, and I still do. I find that no matter what the situation, I'm always on her side. Ariel is very easy to love, and she has thêm human experiences than most on this list, despite not even being human.
Ariel: "I'm sixteen years old! I'm not a child!"
King Triton: "Don't bạn take that tone of voice with me young lady, as long as bạn remain in my ocean, bạn obey my rules!"
That exchange made me really root for her. How many of us, as children and teens, have been through this same situation? I admit, she's done pretty stupid things, like defying her father's orders and forming an alliance with the sea witch. But in the end, Ariel shows that we are all flawed and despite our many flaws, we are capable of tình yêu and being human.
#2
Pocahontas
The Passionate Princess
Pocahontas is very much of a woman compared to the other princesses. She is the most beautiful of all the princesses, both inside and out. She has an air of maturity about her, yet she's so freedom loving and spiritual. I must admit, it was the song "Colours of the Wind" which made me fall in tình yêu with the movie, and subsequently the princess. I tình yêu the passion she has for everything she does, especially in her tình yêu with John Smith. In the end, she chose to remain with her people. Pocahontas watching John sailing away from her truly the most heart-breaking moment in any Disney Princess film for me, I actually cried during that. I also tình yêu her moments of fun.
Pocahontas taught me that "if bạn walked the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things bạn never knew, bạn never knew."
#1
Mulan
The Công chúa tóc xù Princess
Mulan had me from the start. I liked it that she wasn't like the other princesses. She isn't the most beautiful, hoặc the most witty. However, she is the bravest of them all. Mulan doesn't wait around for princes to sweep her off her feet hoặc for glass slippers to fit her. Mulan actually gets out there and makes things happen. She loves deeply and it's not some romance, it's a great tình yêu for her family, her Những người bạn and her country. She saved China, need I say more?

If I choose wrong, I will feel my Father’s wrath.
He simply won’t understand,
And will insist that I do as he commands.
Deep down in my tim, trái tim I know that it’s right,
And I am willing to put up a fight.
I fell for a pale face.
The feelings I have can’t be erased.
I have shown him all the màu sắc of the wind,
And he was finally able to comprehend.
We could have one adventure after the other.
I never want to be with another.
I told my Father I don’t want to marry Kocoum,
But he doesn’t know where I’m coming from.
I have to keep our two worlds from going to war.
They must know we don’t have to fight anymore.
I must create peace,
hoặc the hate will just increase.
They have to see my side,
hoặc else our tình yêu will be denied.
