I'm so excited to finally get to write this article! I thought this was an incredibly interesting countdown, and I want to give a huge "Thank you!" to everyone who participated. This was my first countdown and it was so much fun! I have a bunch of ideas for other ones I can conduct in the future. So anyway, I'm gonna stop blabbing now and get to what you're all actually here for: the results! Enjoy...
10. The Princess and the Frog
It was no surprise that this movie came in dead last. It was practically a unanimous vote! Every single person who 评论 voted that this should be the first to leave. Not only did 迪士尼 twist the fairytale beyond recognition, but the only thing they had in common was a prince getting turned into a frog. For reference, 你 can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"No doubt about it. The main characters are a different race, with a different setting, time period, motives, plot, etc. The 列表 would be way too long to write. The only thing that is similar in both is that the girl kisses a frog, and that the frog is a prince." ~Jayden-G
"That's what bothers me this most about this (and the way 迪士尼 fairy tale 电影院 are heading...). they even got the 标题 wrong. it should be the Frog Prince, since Tiana is not a princess and she kissed a frog prince." ~AudreyFreak
9. Pocahontas
This was another unsurprising elimination. Nearly everyone who 评论 agreed that it should be the 下一个 to leave. They changed ages, names, motives, and dropped an entire romance in where there wasn't one. 迪士尼 seriously needs to take a few history lessons! For reference, 你 can read a summary of the historical account here: link
"John Smith was older. Moreover, 'Pocahontas' was just her nickname, not her real name." ~BraBrief
"John was like 35? and Pocahontas was like 12...goodbye" ~princecatcher93
8. Tangled
Though I personally disagreed that this should be the 下一个 to get eliminated, the majority of the commenters argued that there were very few similarities between 魔发奇缘 and its 来源 material. The whole "wanting to see the lanterns" dream was an entirely new concept, and instead of a prince, Rapunzel got a thief. For reference, 你 can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"seriously, this hasn't left yet? they kept the 1) hair 2) a plant 3) being locked in a tower 4) Gothel hurting Flynn. other than that..." ~AudreyFreak
"The fairytale and the movie are just completely different with the exception of a few key elements." ~BelleAnastasia
7. The Little Mermaid
This was yet another nearly unanimous vote. The first half of the tale has several similarities (desire to be human, falling in 爱情 with a prince, trading her voice for legs), but the 秒 half bears hardly any resemblance. She feels like she's walking on glass, her prince really does fall in 爱情 with someone else, and she dies in the end because she can't bring herself to kill the man she loves. For reference, 你 can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"Very different, to say the least" ~rhythmicmagic
"Very different ending, and transformation into human." ~Popcornfan
6. Aladdin
And again we have another nearly unanimous vote. 迪士尼 took out one of the genies and most of the rest of the story and replaced it with a bunch of pop culture references. Though 你 can see the parallels between the two stories, really the only things left are Aladdin, his lamp, one of the genies, and a princess (though her name isn't Jasmine). For reference, 你 can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"Aladdin...that's a totally different story. Which is a good thing. But the movie omits the mother, the ghost of the ring, the palace which is built for Aladdin, just to mention a few thing. Honestly, the only thing left is 阿拉丁 and the lamp." ~Swanpride
"The man in 阿拉丁 claims to be his uncle, but i think it´s a lie to get 阿拉丁 and his mother to trust him, nothing more. I can´t remember Badroulbadour to be spoiled. Of course her character is flat, she isn´t the main character of the story that´s pretty normal." ~Safira-09
5. Mulan
When I began this countdown I was positive 花木兰 would be one of the last 电影院 to leave. I guess others didn't agree. Sleeping Beauty actually had the most 得票数 at 46%, but 花木兰 had 更多 comments, and since I was basing this 民意调查 off of the 评论 花木兰 was the one to go. For reference, 你 can find a summary of the original legend here: link
"The original tale of 花木兰 is 更多 a framework of a story than a story itself, but many things are different- 花木兰 has siblings (including a brother not old enough to take his father's place,) her parents seem to be in on the act, she is gone twelve years, and 花木兰 is never discovered but reveals herself after coming 首页 from the army to all her fellow soldiers. The only thing that really remains that same is 花木兰 matures and goes through a period of great maturity (also the symbolism of twelve years) and that the Emperor offers her a position but she returns 首页 instead." ~rythmicmagic
"Yeah. I think she was older in the poem, was not caught until after she served her many years, did not have feelings for her general. There really is not much of a story to the original poem. Oh, there is no dragon, and did not leave for dishonour." ~Jayden-G
4. Beauty and the Beast
I had to make a tiebreaker round for this one. Based on the 民意调查 Beauty and the Beast just barely beat Sleeping Beauty, but the 评论 were tied, so I decided to be doubly sure and make a tiebreaker poll. The 民意调查 was very close again, but the 评论 clearly favored Beauty and the Beast. After all, they left a lot of stuff out (siblings and etc.) and put a lot of new stuff in (talking objects and etc.). For reference, 你 can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"Well this one is different from the original in a lot of ways. One is that they had no talking objects, no Gaston, and no angry Beast. He was extremely kind to her. Maurice got captured because Belle asked him for a rose, he was rich, had sisters, and had little to no plot." ~Jayden-G
"This is hard. Both have similarities and differences from the original tales. I'm choosing BATB, because it just seems to have 更多 differences than Sleeping Beauty." ~BelleAnastasia
3. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Once again Sleeping Beauty actually won the 民意调查 portion of this, but the 评论 favored Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It's easy to see why it was the 下一个 to leave - in the original Snow White was younger, the Wicked 皇后乐队 tried to kill her three times, and there was no magical kiss. For reference, 你 can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"In the original, the 皇后乐队 tricked her three times and the prince didn't 吻乐队（Kiss） her, he just thought that she was pretty and so he had her taken to his palace in a glass case and on the way she was dropped and the 苹果 came loose." ~rythmicmagic
"What bothers me about the changes the most is the kiss...totally screwed up the perception of the tale." ~Swanpride
2. Sleeping Beauty
Anyone who faithfully voted in this countdown will know that I was pushing for Sleeping Beauty to go from fairly early on. I guess very few people agreed with me because it ended up in 秒 place! The majority of the original elements are still there, and when compare to Perrault's version, which it is directly based off of, it is nearly exact. For reference, 你 can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"Hm, in the original fairy tales, there is no dragon and there are seven 精灵 not three fairies. Besides, the princess sleeps for 100 years." ~LightningRed
"Sleeping Beauty is missing big plot elements that were in the fable; an the backgrounds and situations of some characters are completely different." ~Jayden-G
1. Cinderella
It's not difficult to see why 灰姑娘 won this countdown. All of the main plot elements are still present in the movie, and the only real addition was the talking animals. 迪士尼 left out a couple of the 更多 gory parts, but for the most part everything else is there. For reference, 你 can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"Making the stepsisters physically ugly is a pretty big change, one which totally screwed up the perception of the fairy tale." ~Swanpride
"There is little to no difference in Cinderella." ~Jayden-G
And so this concludes my first countdown! Hugs to everyone who participated. <3 评论 your thoughts, and I'll start another countdown soon. :)

I really think he loses it, here... Raging at a person is not explaining to a person your personal view.
I got inspired 由 laylastepford's link about which American Cities the 迪士尼 Princesses would live in and as I'm from Sweden I decided to write an 文章 about which Swedish Towns (since most falls into that category, only a few falls into the "city" category) each 迪士尼 Princesses would live in, it's hard to identify each town's personality so I based it on mostly other aspects. I haven't been to all these towns so I'm just basing on what I know about each town
Snow White: Alingsås
This town lays only about 30 分钟 train ride from Gothenburg and from what I've read and seen off...

Hello there! I'm ApplesauceDoctr here today with my third DP Song Analysis article. I've forgotten how much I enjoy 写作 these, and since I re-watched 《勇敢传说》 a few days ago, I thought I'd analyze one of its most notable songs -- "Into the Open Air".
Before we begin, thought I'd mention this -- the chorus occurs twice in the real song (the one 你 can purchase from the soundtrack), but only occurs once in the actual movie. The lyrics for the two are quite different, but because we only hear one version in the movie, I'll only discuss that one we hear. :D
This love, it is a distant star...

I'm not doing it with the CGI Princesses because I don't particularly like any of their smiles. I mean... they look like real teeth Dx Anyway, here's my list...
9. Pocahontas
As some may know, I think Pocahontas is a really beautiful human being, in and out. But what I don't find beautiful about her is her ways of expression. When she speaks, it sounds like she's faking every type of emotion she's trying to express and the same goes to when she smiles.
8. Mulan
Mulan's smile feels held back so that's why she is in this placement. But I do think it's warm and natural, maybe not as ''impressive''...
