Ariel only became human because of a MAN!!!
Have. You. Watched. The. First. Fifteen. Minutes. Of. The. Movie?!? Our first exposure to Ariel is when we see her searching for human trinkets on a shipwreck. She has an entire CAVERN(/grotto?) full of human artifacts she’s collected over the years! Part of Your World is before she goes to the surface and first sees Eric. But sure, she only cares about being a human because of a man. Let’s just strip Ariel of all her independent hopes and desires to make our points in the name of feminism, that totally makes sense.
Yeah, but she only acted when Eric was on the line, so that doesn’t matter!
Right, she only became human after her encounter with Eric. Please tell me when exactly she had the opportunity to become human before then? That was the opportunity Ursula chose to exploit.
But it was still a really stupid decision!
This is true. I didn’t use the word “exploit” for no reason. She knew she was asking Ariel to do something risky and stupid. Ursula chose the moment to approach Ariel she did precisely because she knew Ariel would be vulnerable at that point. Triton had just destroyed the collection Ariel had presumably spent years amassing, her one outlet of her passion for humans and desire to become one herself. In that moment, she saw all her dreams disappear. Ursula used the emotionally charged moment to her advantage in order to get Ariel to sign. Remember that Ursula is an evil mastermind who uses all her power to trap people into unwinnable deals. And don’t try to tell me there haven’t been moments in your life where 你 would have done the same for your deepest unattainable desire!
Still, she LITERALLY gave up her voice! And that’s how she gets the man! Do 你 realize what message that sends?
1. Ursula was the one who 说 that would be a good idea I thought it was an accepted convention of children’s/family 电影院 that 你 disregard what the villain says?
2. Notice Eric wasn’t impressed 由 that He is disappointed when he meets Ariel specifically BECAUSE she can’t speak. It was the voice he was looking for. But…
3. It’s Ariel’s zany expressiveness which makes Eric fall for her anyway Eric decides to give up the 幻想 of “the girl with the voice” because spending time with Ariel (yeah, yeah, it was one day, it’s a fairytale, deal with it) makes him realize how enthralling she is. Now, does Ariel spend her time with Eric mindlessly gazing at him? No! She experiences as much of the human world as she can, terrifying Eric out of his mind and making a fool out of herself multiple times along the way. It’s her liveliness Eric falls for, not because she’s some mute, adoring ninny.
Ariel totally forgets about all her other human preoccupations and only focuses on Eric in the human world.
Right, so I touched on this in the last point. Deal with it. Not only did Ariel continue to pursue her passion for learning as much about the human world as possible, she did so while even ignoring Eric at times. 晚餐 the first night? Eric must take a momentary backseat so Ariel can brush her hair with a fork and attempt to play a pipe. Though she could have been working on charming him while she sat 下一个 to Eric on the leisurely carriage ride, Ariel dipped over the back of the 大车, 购物车 so as to discern its secrets of transportation. In the town square, Ariel simply HAD to discover the mechanics of puppetry. Her desire to be fully human is just as present after she meets Eric as before.
She never learns her lesson! She screws everything up and doesn’t think she has to do anything!
link But, on another note: The consequences of Ariel’s decision were supposed to be hers and hers alone, and she was going to accept them as hers. Notice how she didn’t fight back against being marched off to punishment until Triton decided to get 魔发奇缘 up with the situation? Ariel didn’t expect anyone to get her out of her situation. Now, was she sorry for her initial decision to go to the surface and become a human? Probably not. But was she sorry for the fact that her father was hurt through that decision? Yes, I think she was. Ariel DID have to face the consequences of her impulsive decisions, and in the end, she had to remedy them.
Stepmothers are always seen as evil 或者 bad in these 电影院 but what if there is another side to the story and they have their reasons for their actions >>>

Like I 说 the princess list, this just a 预览 of how well Moana does if 或者 when she joins the lineup, so it's a smaller pool of users, no 语录 from users and no extravagant pics. Without further ado, let's get to it.
12. Brave-196 points
Fanpop is not very kind to this film at all, much like its princess. 皮克斯 made a very halfassed attempt at 写作 a 迪士尼 Princess movie and strangely, it doesn't feel like a 迪士尼 film 或者 a 皮克斯 film. Some may even compare it to early 2000s Dreamworks. (read: Shrek) People also find this movie to be a rushed mess with the only well done aspect...

Fantastical Fashionistas
I would 爱情 to hear your 评论 about your own ranking and thoughts about my ranking of the 迪士尼 Princesses.
Thank 你 so much for creating a welcoming community where I feel comfortable enough to post my personal opinions.
My ranking of the 迪士尼 Princesses has changed a lot over the years, but this is my current ranking for 2019.
14. Merida: I really wanted to like Merida as I have a Scottish heritage and family still living in Scotland, but she harmed her mother and didn't seem to care.
I like that she mended her relationship with her mother later, but I wish she had thought about the possible consequences of her actions.
13. Tiana: I like how Tiana works hard for what she wants in life, but I also feel like she works too hard at times. She doesn't take a step back from her life and realize that sometimes things happen for a reason.
12. Belle: I like how Belle doesn’t judge others by how they look, and that she is willing to stand up to the Beast when he is being mean to her. She truly sees the beauty within the Beast.
Belle can have a temper at times and not really find the happiness in her situation at the beginning of the movie, so I don’t relate to those parts of her as much, but she is still a great character.
11. Cinderella: I feel sorry for placing Cinderella so low on this list. She is the princess that shares my personality. We are both ISFJ personalities, and I relate to her so much.
I preferred the live action version of Cinderella more as she was willing to stay optimistic and tried to keep the deer safe from the prince as I am an animal lover.
10. Mulan: I really appreciate Mulan’s courage to stand up and fight for her family. She showed that she was willing to die to keep her father safe.
Family is very important to me, and I would do anything to keep them safe, but I am not even close to being as brave as she is, which is why I don’t relate to her as much as others on my list.
9. Moana: I love the relationship Moana has with her grandmother as my grandmother is a lot like Tala. Moana was hesitant to follow her dreams as I was when I decided I wanted to become an elementary school teacher.
My mother wanted me to become a doctor, and I actually started college to become one, but my dream of being a teacher kept calling to me just as the sea called Moana.
8. Elsa: I relate a lot to Elsa as I have struggled with anxiety for a long time. I like that she overcame that anxiety as I am learning to in my own life. I don’t like how she shut her sister out, though.
Even though she was scared of hurting Anna, I feel like she should have at least spoken to her rather than being too afraid to leave her room. Family is really important to me, and I can’t imagine shutting them out the way Elsa did.
7. Ariel: I like Ariel’s curiosity and that she pursued her dream, but she did not go about things in a logical way and put her entire kingdom in danger. I love her carefree and happy personality, though.
6. Jasmine: I like how Jasmine sought to fight against the injustices in her country. She saw that there was a problem with the rule that she must marry a prince, and that the circumstances Aladdin found himself in were unfair.
She stood up for what she felt was right while looking on the inside rather than on appearances. I think that she was a little rude to the suitors, and she could have just said that she wasn’t interested in them rather than embarrassing them.
She was my favorite princess growing up, and I still love how strong she is as a character.
5. Snow White: I have recently come to appreciate Snow White’s kindness and optimism.
She prayed for those who disliked her and continued to dream about being with her prince all while working and staying strong during her horrible circumstance.
I also try to be kind to those who may have wronged me in my life, and people may see me as naïve or gullible as I do tend to give people many second chances, so I relate to Snow White in that way.
4. Aurora: I love how she is shy, sweet, and kind. She is also so nice to the forest creatures, and she accepts her responsibility as a princess despite being upset that her dream to be with Phillip would not come true... or so she thought.
She didn't run away, and she faced the life that was meant for her head on. I am also a little shy and can relate to Aurora having to accept what life throws at you.
3. Pocahontas: I love how Pocahontas protects animals and nature. She is very mature as she tries to make difficult decisions in her life. I have faced similar choices in my life.
I had to decide if I should choose the path that would please my family by becoming a doctor, or if I would follow my dream of becoming a teacher. Pocahontas is truly inspiring how she doesn’t waver in her beliefs and follows her dreams.
2. Anna: I relate so much to Anna and her relationship with her sister as I have an older sister who has a lot of anxiety and shut me out for years. I also like Anna’s optimism and hope that things will work out in the end.
I relate to her because I have been sheltered most of my life and want to find my prince someday, but hopefully I will be able to discern his character better than she did. I am also a little awkward.
1. Rapunzel: Rapunzel is so optimistic, kind, and curious. I relate to not knowing when my life will begin and trying to stay positive and hopeful despite having been sheltered growing up.
I also relate to Rapunzel as I try to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher. I hesitated to pursue my dream because of not wanting to make my mother upset, just like Rapunzel felt conflicted about leaving the tower because of Gothel.
Also, I wonder if it will be all that I dream it will be, just like Rapunzel wondered if the lanterns would meet her expectations. She is realistic as she realizes that sometimes reality is different from our dreams.
She makes the best of her situation and finds joy in the little things in life. She is so inspiring as she made her dreams a reality.
After I watched the first 7 seasons of My Little 小马 Friendship is Magic I started listening to the songs on repeat whenever I felt like it and there are songs from that 显示 that had me thinking of some of the princesses and some of the characters in the movies. Here's a 列表 of the songs, which characters the songs reminded me of, and why.
Song: 彩虹 from My Little 小马 the Movie
Character: All the princesses
This song is actually mostly for a character in the movie who was a villain but then reformed which isn't what happened to any of the princesses (except maybe Elsa, though...

Part of your World
Here we go, from least 最喜爱的 to favorite, here's the Mother's 日 countdown results! I know mother's 日 was two days 以前 but I'm not waiting a whole 年 to put up the 文章 so here we go :)
13. Evil Queen
So it's pretty obvious why she was taken out first; She forced her stepdaughter to be a scullery maid and tried to have her killed (twice) just because she was jealous of how beautiful Snow White was.
12. Lady Tremaine
Again, pretty obvious why she was taken out early. Like Snow White, Cinderella's stepmother forced her to be a maid. But unlike Snow White at least Tremaine...

The three classic princesses
Okay, I am 写作 an 文章 after a long time. I suffered from the lack of ideas and imagination for 更多 than 12 days ago. So, I am not in a mood to start a new series, either, Damn! So, I decided to do one short article, duh! Sorry, I am gonna do a series! I mean, duh, some princesses were horribly out of place. I mean, we think every princess is beautiful, but some are a little historically inaccurate and drawn in a wrong way.
Snow White
It is kinda easy to figure out where this classic took place. The dwarfs’ house is decorated with carved wooden instruments and furniture....

Their wonderful hair makes me jealous
Voted over a 月 ago, the results are in. Keep 阅读 to find out what holiday each princess represents. I had fun do this and was thinking it would be fun to redo this with princes, and maybe villains. 评论 down below and let me know what 你 think about that idea.
Mother’s 日 is an easy choice for Snow White as she is so motherly. She takes care of the dwarfs. She cooks. She cleans. I know that sounds cliché. But beyond those traits, she cares about people the way a mother would. Unconditionally. But she still has her limits much like a mother would. She bonds with her dwarf...

Yes, THESE designs.
