As many of us know, Disney Princesses are not always viewed in a positive light. Some people believe them to be passive, codependent damsels in distress. But is this really true? 或者 does each Princess offer a kind of strength in her own way? Here, I have carefully ranked the princesses in terms of being good role 模特 for young girls. We'll start at the bottom of the 列表 so we can work our way towards, in my opinion, 迪士尼 Princess' best role model. I have spoken to plenty of parents to make sure that I have diverse research and opinions.
9. Aurora
The third 迪士尼 princess to ever grace the silver screen is the lead character in one of Disney's most classic fairy tales. However, she is the least interesting princess in terms of personality. I admit, she isn't 给 much of a chance with her very small amount of screentime. However, Aurora really offers nothing to her own film other than song and beauty...two gifts she received at the film's start. Aurora is gorgeous and elegant but she spends most of her time dreaming about a prince coming and sweeping her off her feet. There are countless 更多 interesting characters in the film such as the Good 精灵 and the anatagonist Maleficent. Aurora is pretty much just an object to be fancied, provided for and rescued. She literally does nothing but dance, sing, cry and sleep.
8. Snow White
The first ever animated heroine in a feature film, Snow White has a lot to her name. She stars in what is commonly known as the greatest animated film of all time. Now, the 问题 is, as a character, is Snow White all she's cracked up to be? Snow White has many positive traits: she is very optimistic, kind to those around her and doesn't feel too sorry for herself...she even apologizes for causing a fuss after a terrifying run through the woods. Still, Snow White's only goal in life is to have a prince come and take her away to his castle, where she can be romanced and live happily ever after. She gets her wish after foolishly eating an 苹果 from a strange hag who easily convinces her it's a "magic wishing apple." Sure, Snow White's not the brightest bulb out there and she may not have any ambition, but she has got personality.
7. Ariel
Absolutely one of Disney's most beloved princesses, Ariel is a favourite among many young girls. She was the princess who sparked the 迪士尼 Renaissance with her spunky, teenage appeal. Unfortunately, the only character Ariel ever seems to concern herself with pleasing throughout the entire film is herself. Although she does like to explore and collect things, this interest quickly takes a back-seat in her reasoning for becoming human when she spots the handsome Prince Eric. After bravely saving this dashing young man from drowning, Ariel makes it her goal to 加入 him on land and woo him. There was great risk in this...what if Ariel had made the deal with Ursula only to find Eric was an arrogant pig? She would have had two choices: marry him anyway 或者 turn into one of Ursula's slugs. Luckily, in true 迪士尼 fashion, it works out because once she meets Eric, she likes his personality as well. Still, she bargains her whole life, abandoning her 老友记 and family, for a guy she's only ever seen and never interacted with. While I admire her bravery and sass, I definitely think most of her popularity is due to her being a beautiful mermaid as opposed to a beautiful human girl.
6. 灰姑娘
Her story is one that inspired millions...rags to riches. And 灰姑娘 is to be admired for throughout a life of hardship and abuse, she still manages to see the good in others and have hope. One of the most underestimated princesses in terms of value, 灰姑娘 is 更多 than just a pretty face. She works hard and appreciates what she has in life, while most of us would be damn near suicidal if we were in her shoes. Her main downside is that without the help of her fairy godmother, she would've died a slave. She didn't have the courage 或者 strength to free herself...it was up to the mice and her animal 老友记 to get her out of that wicked Lady Tremaine's grip. Cinderella's dream is, big surprise, to marry a prince which she evidently clarifies in the film's theme "A Dream Is A Wish Your 心 Makes."
5. 茉莉, 茉莉花
The only 迪士尼 princess that the film doesn't revolve around, 茉莉, 茉莉花 has somehow captivated the spirits and hearts of many fans. She is the first non-European princess and the first to not be hopelessly dreaming of marrying a prince. In fact, she states that if she ever marries, she wants it to be for 爱情 and not status. She is shown to be clever and quick on her feet several times throughout the film such as seducing Jafar, playing along as Aladdin's crazy, monkey-worshipping sister and recognizing Prince Ali's mannerisms to be the same as the boy she met in the marketplace. She is sassy, fun and gorgeous...most importantly, she has self-respect and refuses to be treated like a trophy. Although the film is 更多 centered around her lover, in the scenes she does appear in, 茉莉, 茉莉花 is a fairly admirable 迪士尼 princess.
4. Belle
The only princess to ever appear in a Best Picture Nominated film and present an Academy Award, Belle is a highly praised and 流行的 迪士尼 princess. She is remarkably unique and although she is beautiful, the filmmakers made her unaware of this. She does not wish to marry the handsome town-hero Gaston because she is able to see that he doesn't have much on the inside. She simply refuses to be someone's "little wife" which surprisingly is what all the other princesses before her dreamed of most. She dreams of adventure, a first for a 迪士尼 princess. Although she is a loner in her town, need for companionship and rescue are not at all apparent in her. When her father is in danger, she rides her horse to a spooky castle. She gives up her freedom and agrees to spend the remainder of her life in a dungeon, all to save her father's life. Although the film receives occasional criticism for romanticizing an abusive relationship, this is basically the film's only known controversy and it is a highly debatable one. Belle forgives and allows the Beast a chance to 显示 her his 心 and that is what makes Belle's story a tale as old as time - everyone should be 给 the chance to 爱情 and be loved.
3. Tiana
Disney's newest addition to the princess lineup is Tiana. She marks the first ever African-American princess but has a lot 更多 going for her than just that. She is independent, hard-working and loyal to her family and friends. She is the first ever princess to truly have a specific ambition. Tiana wants to have her own restaurant, not just for herself but for her deceased father who shared that dream. She is a vibrant and passionate character who does 更多 than just believe and have faith in her dream - she works for it and earns it. Throughout the course of the her debut film, she learns to 爱情 Naveen. In the end, she gets her prince and the restaurant. She is a perfect example that a young girl can be in a loving, committed relationship while fulfilling her own individual dreams.
2. Pocahontas
In Disney's first ever animated film based loosely on true events in American history, Pocahontas is one of the strongest 迪士尼 heroines out there. She is shown to be spiritual, athletic and independent. Not to mention beauiful but when every single 迪士尼 girl is gorgeous, it's the personality that stands out most. Pocahontas, like Belle and Jasmine, doesn't want to be married for the sake of companionship and someone to provide for her. She wants to find herself on her own terms and follow her own path. When she meets John Smith, she truly does fall in 爱情 with him because she sees 更多 to him than the fact that his skin colour is different from her own. She is courageous and accepting, seeing both sides in what looks to be a violent war. She is eventually able to achieve peace 由 standing up for what she believes in, quite bravely I must say. In the end, she stays among her people instead of returning to England with John Smith. Although she cares for him very deeply, she is not willing to uproot her entire life and leave her 老友记 and family behind.
1. 花木兰
This girl is the ultimate 迪士尼 hero, male 或者 female! She defies gender stereotypes 由 secretly taking her father's place in the army. Not only is she 《勇敢传说》 and selfless, but she is insecure and a little clumsy, something real people can relate to. 花木兰 evolves as a character - she starts out wanting to fit in and bring her family honor through being a beautiful bride but ends up saving China and inspiring every girl who sees the film. She is kind but not a pushover and she doesn't rush into marriage with Shang. She asks him to stay for dinner, significantly hinting that there will be a romantic future between the two. 花木兰 is stereotyped as a "tomboy" but honestly she was just a different side of femininity. Being 《勇敢传说》 and strong shouldn't be solely a male attribute, it should be viewed as admirable from whoever shows those qualities. 花木兰 is the best role model for young girls because she shows them that they have the right to be whatever they want to be and can truly accomplish almost anything in life. 花木兰 is never once a damsel in distress whereas nearly every princess before her has been. The film realistically accepts that 花木兰 is a young woman and is not quite as physically strong as the men around her. But it is her determination and intelligence that allow her to embody a magnificent solider. The 花 that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all. This is completely true about Mulan. She is a strong character on any level and is easily the most heroic 迪士尼 Princess.
9. Aurora
The third 迪士尼 princess to ever grace the silver screen is the lead character in one of Disney's most classic fairy tales. However, she is the least interesting princess in terms of personality. I admit, she isn't 给 much of a chance with her very small amount of screentime.
