Here are my 最喜爱的 (and least favorite) 迪士尼 princesses!
10) Mulan
My biggest grievance against 花木兰 is not really the character, but the performance. Most of the time, 花木兰 is monotone and expressionless, making her a vague and only relatively appealing character. I like how strong she is and I enjoy her toughness, and I like the movie as a whole, but 花木兰 as a character is too dull and flat to intrigue me as much as some of the other princesses.
9) Pocahontas
Similar to Mulan, Pocahontas is a character that was intended to have 更多 gravity and 更多 depth than she actually ended up with. Her name actually means "little mischief," and I wish 迪士尼 had made her 更多 playful (think a 更多 mature version of Ariel) and a little less earthy and spiritual. I know they tried to make her "mischievous," but watching her frolic in the pond with Nakoma hardly counts, in my head. However, she is exceptionally beautiful, and to this 日 I'm dying to have long, straight Pocahontas hair. :)
8) Aurora
Just like the other Aurora haters, I think Aurora's main problem is that she's dull and isn't even really the 星, 星级 of her own movie. I know nothing about her, aside from the fact that's she's over-sheltered and sweet. She's also a pretty passive player in her own existence, and unlike other passive princesses, it kind of bothers me. That said, she is extraordinarly pretty, and I 爱情 her long, willowy design.
7) Jasmine
I 爱情 Jasmine's 设计 and I like that she's the first princess with any real bite to her, but she irks me at times. Her voice is a little too "princessy" to appeal to my taste, and her spoiled, entitled attitude at times irritates me after a while. However, I give her a lot of credit for being fiery and exotic.
6) Tiana
It's about time 迪士尼 made a princess who is African American, and it's even closer to time that 迪士尼 made a princess with a work ethic. Tiana filled both of those roles well, and she's a nice character with a great 唱歌 voice. That said, she spends most of the movie as a frog and she is a bit one dimensional (she talks about working hard and being a hard worker constantly,), but she's still a great addition to Disney's princess pantheon.
5) Snow White
I 爱情 Snow White, if only for nostalgic reasons. Snow White was my 最喜爱的 princess as a child (I even wore a Snow White 袍, 礼服 on my first trip to 迪士尼 World,) and as much as she is passive, over-prissy and too sweet and naive for her own good, she's still the very first 迪士尼 Princess ever, and deserves 更多 credit than she gets, if only for that reason.
4) Rapunzel
I enjoy Rapunzel because of how different she is from other princesses. Does she harp about dreams all the time? Yes. Is she another princess who spends her time dreaming of a life different than her own? Yes. But she's also kind of neurotic and even a little spastic about things. She's girly, smart, and even kind of silly, which I enjoy. She's a princess who understands fun and curiousity, like the 爱情 child of Ariel and Alice in Wonderland.
3) Cinderella
To me, 灰姑娘 is the classic princess. She's spirited, but not modernly so, witty, but not contemporary, and romantic but not needy. It's a classic story told in a timeless way, and for me, 灰姑娘 will always be the epitome of of a 迪士尼 Princess.
2) Belle
Disney's modern, feminist princess, Belle would be my 最喜爱的 if my number one weren't so darn nostalgic to me. I have always loved Belle, but as I get older, I appreciate her intelligene, her wit, her determination, and her 爱情 of 图书 rather than just her great voice and her pretty dress. Belle is truly a landmark in 迪士尼 Princess history and remains the best role model for young girls, in my opinion.
1) Ariel
Despite all the negative (and true) things 说 about her, I just can't get past my 爱情 of Ariel. She's reckless, impulsive, sweet, and naive, and yet takes an active interest in her own existence and her own future. Besides, she's a mermaid. That's awesome. :)
So there 你 have it! Hope 你 enjoyed my list!
