Let me just say I am a huge 迪士尼 动画片 fan. I’ve liked every 迪士尼 动画片 Studios 或者 皮克斯 film I’ve seen. That being said, the princesses have a special place in my heart. But it’s not just nostalgia 或者 a 爱情 of fairytales (although those are factors). It’s that every princess film has been a milestone for its studio, if not for 动画片 as a whole. These 电影院 matter. Big time.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as the first full length animated feature ever made. Every animated film ever made, regardless of what studio it came from, owes its existence to Snow White, a film once referred to as “Disney’s Folly.” Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is also the first animated film to be nominated for an Oscar. Snow White was nominated for a “Best Musical Score” Oscar. Walt 迪士尼 also received a special Oscar in recognition of the fact that Snow White was an innovation in film.

灰姑娘 saved Walt 迪士尼 动画片 Studios. The studio had 迷失 a big part of their revenue when World War II limited their ability to release films in Europe. As well as losing money, WDAS 迷失 animators when a significant portion of the 动画片 staff went to fight in the war. 灰姑娘 was the first film to have a continuous narrative since Bambi. And if 灰姑娘 had failed, the studio would have gone bankrupt.

Sleeping Beauty was the first 迪士尼 animated feature to be filmed in 70mm widescreen format. It was also the last film to use hand-inked cells. The films following Sleeping Beauty used xerography.

The Little Mermaid was the film that started the 迪士尼 Renaissance. Mermaid brought the studio back into the limelight. The Little Mermaid was also the first film to have a scene done with 锦标 (Computer 动画片 Production System).

Beauty and the Beast was the first animated film to be nominated for a “Best Picture” Oscar.

阿拉丁 was the first animated film to gross 更多 than 200 million dollars.

Pocahontas was the first 迪士尼 animated film to be based on a true story.

花木兰 was the first 迪士尼 animated feature to be made primarily at the Florida studio location. 花木兰 was also the first 迪士尼 animated feature to be released on DVD.

The Princess and the Frog was the film that launched the “Revival Era” of 迪士尼 animation. The Princess and the Frog was also the first 迪士尼 animated film to feature a Black protagonist.

魔发奇缘 was the fiftieth 迪士尼 animated feature.

《勇敢传说》 features Pixar’s first female protagonist and is the first 皮克斯 film to have a female director.

《冰雪奇缘》 is the first 迪士尼 animated feature to have a female director.

Each princess movie marks a milestone. A princess movie marked the beginning of feature 动画片 and they continue to mark advances to this day.
