Since we're nearing the end of this countdown, could you please comment just a couple of sentences on why you like at least one of the characters? You can comment on as many as you like, even one if you want. I will be using some/all comments for the article. Thanks!

The top 10 female characters of the 2008-2012 countdown are as follows:

1. Rapunzel (Tangled)
2. Merida (Brave)
3. Tiana (The Princess and the Frog)
4. Charlotte "Lottie" La Bouff (The Princess and the Frog)
5. Barbie (Toy Story 3)
6. Ellie Fredricksen (Up)
7. Mittens (Bolt)
8. Bonnie (Toy Story 3)
9. Mother Gothel (Tangled)
10. Tinker Bell (Tinker Bell)

Rapunzel: She's a child at heart, she loves art and I think that makes her a very fun character. I like how she slowly fell in love with Flynn, so adorable! She had a dream and pursued it without going too far.
Tiana: Tiana is a great role model. Working hard is one of the most important things to do in this world. She's independent and a beautiful grown woman I'd say. She dreams big and I like that she has a gift for cooking lol, I'm into that stuff.
Charlotte: She cracks me up every time, so funny! She's really spoiled but caring at the same time. I think she's the perfect flawed character.
Ellie Fredricksen: ''You don't talk very much... I like you.'' I don't know why I love that line so much, it's cute! Also her relationship with Carl is the sweetest, it makes me tear up. She seems like a very passionate character even though we didn't see much of her.
Mother Gothel: I like her, she's a classy villain. I love the Mother knows best reprise, it's my fave song from Tangled because there's truth to the lyrics and it's targeted to naive girls. She's pretty funny and some of her quotes are clever.

Tiana: I like how she's so motivated and determined and always works hard, and I like how she has such a determined vision. I also really love how naturally talented she was at cooking, I'm amazed on how well she could cook at such a young age!
Charlotte: She's so bubbly and energetic and really irresistible! I really love her voice and whenever she appears on the screen she really grabs my attention, she's so hilarious!

I will comment on Mother Gothel, Barbie, and Rapunzel soon too. Maybe Bonnie too =).

Charlotte: She had me rolling while watching this movie, she is definitely a high point of PATF. While a minor character in amount of screen-time, she is none the less one of the most vital characters. And can we just appreciate for a second on what a great friend she is? She may be excitable and sometimes unnoticing (ie when Tiana is upset at the party), she is still a terrific friend She is so accepting of Tiana and Naveens relationship! I did not see that, but she gave up her dream of being a princess for Tiana, and was happy to do so! I"m happy so see that she made it so high on the list.

Rapunzel: Until Tangled came out, I never really had a favorite princess. I found all of them quit boring and all the same. But when she joined the line up, I found someone who I could related to and think of as a favorite. I know everyone says she's just like all the other princesses, but that's was makes she special in my eyes. I'm like her by the way I'm like so many different people in one body. She's navie and afriad to make the only person she has ever known mad.
Tiana: Tell this girl she can't do something and she will prove you wrong. Tiana is a girl who isn't afraid to stand up and prove to others, she can and she will get to where she wants to get.
Charlotte: The sidekick that won the hearts of just about everyone. Her friendship with Tiana in that time period on America, was one that if it wasn't Disney wouldn't have lasted. She's 100% Southern Bell and 100% good friend.
Ellie F: Ellie is one of the strongest Disney and Pixar women. She's a talker and an open friendly person, who you can be yourself around. Even when she learns she can't have kids, she doesn't think of herself for to long and bounces back to normal sweet caring Ellie. She and Carl also have the Disney Relationship of all relationships.
I'll do more tomorrow or the next day.

Barbie: This girl is by no means a "Dumb blonde". If it hadn't been for her pulling the truth out of Ken, the others may never have known what had happened to Buzz, and disguising herself as Ken in the spaceman outfit was pure genius! She's not one to be underestimated; she's a lot tougher than she looks.

Bonnie: She's the type of kid any toy would want to belong to. She's fun and imaginative, and she treats her toys more like friends than objects.

Ellie: The thing I love most about Ellie is that she never gave up. She kept her dream of going to Paraside falls alive, despite life's setbacks, and she was supportive of Carl from the moment she met him. Even when she knew she wasn't going to be around, she still found a way to encourage him by leaving that message in the back of her adventure book. She is a truly inspiring character, and not only is she my favorite Pixar female, but one of my top Disney females of all time.

Here are the rest of mine.

Mother Gothel: She’s an amazing villain and she’s so devious and manipulative. I love how she uses her “mother knows best” excuse to try to manipulate Rapunzel.

Rapunzel: I like how she’s sheltered but is determined to see the world all the same. I love how she’s such a dreamy character, plus I love her energetic too! She was so cute and hilarious when she left the tower, I love how she had such conflicting emotions!

Barbie: She’s really, really clever. I love the scene with her and Ken and his wardrobe, that was hilarious! She’s awesome because she has a really good heart and would do anything to help her friends.

RAPUNZEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rapunzel: It's no surprise to anyone that Rapunzel is my favorite princess. Everyone tells me that my personality is a lot like her's, and I always take it a a compliment. Rapunzel is spunky and energetic, always having fun despite her life stuck in the tower. She's creative and a sweet, tender girl at heart. Her relationship with Flynn is really adorable. I love the way they start out as strangers not trusting each other at all, to falling in love on this big adventure and gaining each other's trust. It's a beautiful to watch. I just love Rapunzel's spirit.

Tiana: I love how Tiana is really the first realistic Princess. She doesn't plan on sitting around waiting for a man to come sweep her off her feet. She believes in hard work and is determined to make a life for herself, and make her dreams come true. She's sweet and kind, but you don't wanna mess with this sassy New Orleans girl.

I might comment on Merida and Charlotte later too.

Barbie: She might be just a Barbie doll but she's actually more than that. She's funny and clever and loyal to her friends, more than she has a crush on Ken. I love the scene where she asks Ken to show off his clothes and then ties him up on his surf board. That always make me laugh! When Lotso tells Ken, "There are millions like her," Ken contradicts him: "Not for me." I totally agree with him!

Ellie: Ellie is my favorite Pixar female character. Despite her short scene in the movie, she "speaks" so much! She has big influence on the movie -- why, she's the reason why Carl goes to Paradise Falls. She is energetic and full of fun, yet she isn't bitter when her childhood dream of going to Paradise Falls is never fulfilled, just because she's contented and happy to live her life with her one true love. She and Carl are one of my favorite Disney couples ever!

Rapunzel - I really enjoy Rapunzel. She's funny, sweet, and in the same time stubborn. Many people say there's nothing new or original about her, but as far as I remember we've never had a bipolar princess before. I think she's a really nice character!

Merida - Out of all the recent heroines, who came out, Merida is definitely my favorite! I love her fiery nature and her determination to change her fate! Her accent and her hair are also amazing and so memorable! And I love that she's so good with her bow and arrows!

Tiana - She's really nice, but I do find her a bit boring and unmemorable. Totally overshadows by Charlotte imo.

Charlotte "Lottie" La Bouff - She's the best character in Princess and the Frog. She's not only funny and sweet, but she's also a great and loyal friend. During the 1920s racism was still extremely strong in America and it was almost unheard of that a white, rich girl will treat a black, poor girl as equal. And this is exactly what makes Lottie such a great character!

Barbie - The most hilarious character in all the Toy Story movies (along with Ken) :)

^ Thanks for your comment, but sorry I don't think I'll include your Tiana comment. It's sort of negative and I wanted it to just be positive

Oh and I'm really surprised Merida only has 2 comments! I thought more people felt strongly about her

Tiana: When I first watched The Princess and the Frog I was sort of neutral in regards to Tiana; I didn't like her nor dislike her. But when I rewatched the movie I realized just how great she is - she's such a realistic and relatable character. She's such a good role model and it'd be great if more little kids looked up to her.

Barbie: I absolutely LOVE Barbie! I love how she destroyed the stereotype of "bimbo Barbie" because she's anything but - the complete opposite actually. A great character!

Mittens: A hugely underrated character, in my opinion. I was so surprised yet so happy when she made it into the top 10 of this countdown. Her dry and blunt personality just makes me laugh, "Now I'm concerned on a number of levels!" To me she is the best character in 'Bolt' and I wish she would get more attention. I sympathize with her because she's had a hard life and most of her hard exterior is a front. All that's left to say is that she definitely deserved that happy ending.

Bonnie: There is literally nothing bad to say about this character. She's playful, lively, imaginative and just so adorable. It makes me happy that Andy's toys went to someone who will most certainly take care of them.

Tinkerbell- In my opinion she's much better in her CGI form. She's not annoying and is actually a kind and sweet character. She's like the Disney Non-Princess of Ariel basically. She's clever, beautiful, kind, heroic, and brave. I love how she always risks everything to help her friends and everything she cares about. I think she's amazingly clever the way she's able to think things through so quickly. I love how imaginative, curious, and mischievous she is. She's also really determined and once she has her mind set on something you just can't stop her, which I really admire. I also love how she has flaws and makes mistakes but always makes up for them.
