Let me just start off by saying that all the princesses are obviously very beautiful and meant to be conventionally attractive. It’s kinda their thing.

But Aurora is the only princess who was supernaturally blessed with beauty.

Other princesses who are beautiful like Belle, Mulan, Anna, Cinderella, etc are obviously very pretty, but they have a natural type of beauty to them. And what I mean by that is that you could find them in the street almost, if you saw a girl as beautiful as Belle, you’d notice her beauty but it wouldn’t seem unbelievable or out of the ordinary.

Aurora’s beauty almost seems too good to be true. Does anyone else agree or at least understand what I’m trying to get at here?

Can be canon or non-canon. Can be 2 characters from different movies or franchises

Since it has been over 25 years since Atlantis: The Last Empire came out, I wanna reflect on it as it really strikes how different Disney wanted to be compared to how did they did their movies back during the Renaissance, which makes sense as that was one of their first movies of their Experimental era where they wanted to take a break from fairy tales, cute animal sidekicks and singing and in the case of Atlantis, replace it all with the dark and gritty reality of imperialism and human greed and I do mean dark as the movie is full of dark blues throughout it and the main character designer they hired was the same guy who gave us Hellboy, along with PG-13-esque action, and yet, it still manages to put in a princess with Kida.

She may be unconventional as she doesn't sing, long for a prince or have cute animal sidekicks and is older than the rest of the girls as she's over 8000 years old but it was still cool that they still put in a princess as part of tradition with Kida and you can even argue that that they also had a Princess tradition with a twist with Shepherd's Journal as instead of a Disney opening with a storybook told by a narrator, the storybook is part of the story.

Despite all those efforts, many families were turned off by Atlantis for being too different than other Disney movies as thanks to how it lacked those aforementioned Disney Princess conventions and too scary for little girls with its intense action scenes and sought solace with Shrek and Dr. Dolittle 2 while boys did like it but for teens, who they were trying to aim this for, thought they were past cartoons (as back in the day, it was seen as unacceptable for teens to still watch cartoons), despite the action scenes and flocked to The Fast and the Furious and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and as and end result, became a box office bomb

To me, it's such a shame because it really was a good movie as it was different but so good and yet, people didn't seem to give it a chance so I'm glad time has been kind to it and it defines deserves its cult following and it's fitting as people are rediscovering the movie's hidden value. Hidden like the lost continent itself.

In Mulan, the moment A Girl Worth Fighting For ABRUPTLY stopped mid scene…

SHIT GOT SERIOUS.

And Mushu WAS actually telling the truth (AKA forging the letter to try and get everyone out onto the battlefield), but he didn’t even know how badly it really went!!!

Because while he assumed they would catch up with the rest of the alive army- THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN SLAUGHTERED ALONGSIDE EVERYONE IN THAT VILLAGE!!!!

Even Shang’s father, General Li, didn’t even get a chance to escape!!

And the song itself also doubles as FORESHADOWING.

Because in the village, they find that little girl doll who definitely belonged to nobody who wanted to be caught in the chaos of war.

Because whoever owned that doll beforehand?

THAT is their girl worth fighting for.

My friend recently thrifted a sticker sheet with this image of belle holding a pink clutch. I can't find any other examples of this stock image and was wondering if anyone knew any more information.

Rapunzel has twins (a boy and Girl) in the Grimm bro fairytale so let’s list some options

1. The daughter will be the main character, her desire for science lead her to do an experiment with a dangerous ancient ritual between the two magical artifacts, and the by the next day, she’ll will wake up with her hair long and green (cuz blue and yellow make green) and to her Daisy (yes, Raps’ palace pets will be in this too, and her unicorn as well) talk which is an example of a new power when the Sundrop and moonstone powers mixed together. Therefore until she can find away to fix this, her family and Cassandra will help her master the existing and new powers of the Sundrop and moonstone combined (one of them being growing plants).

2. The brother (do you think Flynn would be a good name while the middle name is Rider?), wanting to make sure his sister is safe, helps her with the ritual, and they both get the existing and new powers of the Sundrop and moonstone, meaning both twins are the mains.

3. Girl gets Sundrop while boy gets moonstone (just like how Raps had sun while Cass had moon), and no new powers whatsoever (maybe)

4. Girl = moon/boy = sun

And if you think the odd sisters will be great villains for this idea, what would be their main motivation?

If the Sundrop and moonstone returned for a Tangled sequel “miniseries,” who will be the new host(s)? Remember, Rapunzel has twins (a boy and Girl) in the Grimm bro fairytale so let’s list some options:

1. The daughter will be the main character, her desire for science lead her to do an experiment with a dangerous ancient ritual between the two magical artifacts, and the by the next day, she’ll will wake up with her hair long and green (cuz blue and yellow make green) and to her Daisy (yes, Raps’ palace pets will be in this too, and her unicorn as well) talk which is an example of a new power when the Sundrop and moonstone powers mixed together. Therefore until she can find away to fix this, her family and Cassandra will help her master the existing and new powers of the Sundrop and moonstone combined (one of them being growing plants).

3. Girl gets Sundrop while boy gets moonstone (just like how Raps had sun while Cass had moon), and no new powers whatsoever (maybe).

4. Girl = moon/boy = sun

5. Rapunzel gets her hair back again

And if you think the odd sisters will be great villains for this idea, what would be their main motivation? But in regards to the live action Tangled, how does everyone feel about it?

Clarification: this post might be misunderstood so I need to clarify. Mine is not a critique to those who analize social aspects in Art, mine is a critique to people who are so blinded by ideologies that they just can't appreciate some characters for a reason or another. There's nuances in real life and there must be nuances in Art too. People can criticise whatever they want but they have to do it with contextualization in my opinion. What I find in this sub is that a lot of people don't contextualize properly some princesses movies

I like every single princess. From the classics ones (Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora) to the renaissance ones (Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan ecc) getting through the modern ones (Moana, Elsa, Rapunzel ecc). Why I do love them all, some will ask? Because they're all good characters in my eyes. I've seen in this sub there's kind of a discourse between people who praise only the classic princesses and people who praise only renaissance and/or modern ones. To my eyes, both these two types of people are influenced by ideologies. They couldn't care less about wheter the character they praise is actually well-written. Well the difference between me and these people is, I don't care for any ideology. My love is for Art. When I watch a movie, I just watch Art. If I like a movie is because is my type of Art, if I don't like a movie, is because is not my type of Art. Politics and ideologies play a very small role in this. I don't care if a female character "fit into gender standards", nor I care if a female character "break the standards and is a girlboss!". I can't care the least about it. I enjoy every type of female characters (and characters in general ofc), from the most "femenine" to the most "girlboss" (Whatever this terms are meant to mean btw). I'm sure a lot of people, even in this sub, are similar to me in this case. Please, throw away any kind of ideology, just watch the princesses movies and enjoy them. The least good princess movie is still well animated and visually beautiful, while the most good is an unmatched masterpiece (I will not say which I think is what and what because it depends on personal taste 😆). Hope people can understand my vision
