If there is another topic on this I apologize. I have searched and found nothing on this so...hopefully I'm right

Anyway, which Disney princess was your favorite? And please give me a legitimate answer why. Not "cuz she's cool" or "I like her hair." Give me a reason that will make someone else want to like her, too.

Ok, let's get this topic started!

D'aw, Mulan was my favorite. D:
Actually yes, I believe Mulan was one of them because when I was little, I was given the 'Disney Princess Horses' collection and Mulan's horse, Con, was one of them. So... just pointing that out. But if you're not counting her...

I guess mine would be Pocahontas. She's just awesome. I think her and John Smith [the one from the first movie, NOT the second] made such an adorable couple, and her love of nature just makes things ten times better for me. She's just the best.(:

Yeah sorry XD But nice reason for Pocahontas.

Well Giselle isn't a princess either! She married a normal man in New york, not the prince in the animated world!

Dont worry, Im well aware. I had to put someone there xD. Again Giselle just seems more the type to be a princess. I'll take her off if enough people want me to, though.

Please don't double post, edit your first post instead please.

Sorry, forgot. Is there any way to delete my second post?

I would vote for mulan, but... Um.... Mulan is not a princess xD

I picked Tiana. She is very unique character.

I have a couple of favorites when it comes to Disney Princesses:

#1(tied) - Tiana: Before my other choice, she was the BEST role model for girls in today's time, despite her film taking place in the 1930s time period. Tiana knows that hard work can lead to one's dreams coming true, not just wishing upon a star and hoping for it to happen soon. She, like many of my favorites, cares deeply about family and it means a lot to her, even more than the typical "Princess" stereotype of finding a prince to marry and such. I think I like her so much not just because she's the first African-American princess in the Disney Animated Canon, but because she's got so much determination to defy the odds despite her race and how things unfortunately are during that time period for African-Americans/blacks. I'm glad Disney pushed the bar with her, and it was risky, but I know I'm not the only one to catch that little hint near the beginning... right?

#1(tied) - Rapunzel: She's just so... likeable and one of those girls that has such a cute, naive charm about her. I mainly like her spunk, her many talents and the way she works a frying pan... not just for cooking, but also for fighting~! She's so optimistic and someone that everyone seems to be drawn to... maybe it's all that hair. Actually... Hidden text : click to show

But yeah, the two most recent Princesses are just... more independent and show that a girl doesn't really need to have a guy save her all the time... in fact, both Tiana and Rapunzel save their main male counterpart more than once in their specific films [I think Rapunzel did more saving than Tiana... if I remember correctly.], and for a Disney movie for today's audience, that's saying something. Maybe it's thanks to Fiona from the Shrek franchise...




Honorable Mention (tied) - Belle: Just... Belle. I like her because she was a different type of girl than most other princesses of earlier Disney films. She's a bookworm and personally you could call her the "hot dorky girl" that somehow every guy wants to marry. She's not much of an action girl, but she cares about family and it's important to her.

Honorable Mention (tied) - Mulan: If she were officially a "princess", Mulan would be one of the best examples too. She believes in her family, and she's got the balls to risk her own life to save her father's by taking his place in the army... holy crap, that takes total guts! Plus, she's smart, strategic and not just a pretty face. And she's... I think... the only one in the "Disney Princess" line to have a last name. She is Fa Mulan, after all.

I also like Jasmine too, so she's another Honorable Mention. She's a girl that knows she's more than just a girl born with the title of "Princess" or a prize for a prince. She's sassy and likeable, as well as rebellious. I like how she's willing to speak her mind and wants to marry for love, not because she has to follow some stupid law that makes no sense.

Too bad "real canon Disney Princesses" like Elionwy and Kida aren't in the Princess line... They were cool, though Kida was the better of the two. Anyone who even knows or understands who I'm talking about, I love you forever.

Mine is tied between Mulan and Pocahontas, but in the end I went for Pocahontas. Both are strong characters who go against what is suggested to them by society (Mulan is pressured to just be married, Pocahontas is pressured to marry the chieftain's favourite soldier) and they both go against that and do something completely different. In the end I picked Pocahontas because she negotiated peace along with John. Even if Mulan is a lot more of a developed character

My favorite seems to be an "unofficial" princess, though she does qualify to be one. (Most likely it's because she's from an underrated film.)
My favorite Disney princess is Kida from Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
I think she has the coolest design, a FANTASTIC story (especially the bit of her childhood going to her adult-hood about the bracelet with her mother), and a great personality. I love everything about Kida. <3
Edit:
May want to add how she qualifies as one. Her father is the Emperor of Atlantis, so technically she's a princess.

<3 <3 Aurora! She has the most amazing voice and she is one of the few who feels perfectly happy with the life she has. Of course she dreams of more, yet she sees how she can be content.... feels so long since I've watched it. Totally gonna watch it this week #vod ! YAY! #Disneymovies on demand.
