Oooh, Princess Disection:

- Snow White: I can't stand this woman, at all. Easily my least favorite princess. She's so hapless, dependant, annoying, lovesick... bleh. The only thing about her I like is that she is half of the vocals in "I'm Wishing/One Song", my third favorite Disney Duet ever.

- Cinderella: I don't mind her so much. The servitude and haplessness bugs me, but on a whole, she's tolerable. She marries the worst prince of the bunch, but I can accept it and move on.

- Aurora: My irrational hate for her movie doesn't reflect my thoughts on her. She's alright. I definetly prefer Phillip to her, but the great voice and her beauty is great. That's about all I've got on her.

- Ariel: Just annoying. I don't like her, at all. The way she betrays her family for Eric, her desperation, her clinginess. Bleh. I've never really understood the Ariel love, myself. I love the way Jodi Benson voices her and sings for her, but to me that whole movie is just overrated. And Eric can just die.

- Belle: My favorite princess ever, easily. I've loved her since I saw the movie at 5. I really liked (and still like) reading, so I could really relate to her, though I could never understand just why she would turn away Gaston. Stupid irrational crushes Wink

. I think she's , realistic looking (for the most part), and intelligant, both traits I value. She's definetly the most arrogant of the princesses though, but I can live with that.

- Jasmine: My long-term second favorite. I love her attitude, independance, intellgance, etc. Not to mention that she has the best "prince" of the bunch. Funny how I end up saying the least about her...

I love I'm Wishing/One Song, too... actually, I like the "One Song" part, but Snow White's voice annoys me too much to like her part. Laughing

I never really cared for Snow White. Her speaking and singing voice are terrible.I don`t like any of her songs,but she is cute. Cinderella and Aurora are nice,but their not my favorites. The old school Disney characters seem boring, when compared to the modern ones.When I was a little girl,I loved Ariel. I think the modern characters are easier to relate to. I also liked Belle,but Jasmine will always be my favorite. Very Happy

I really liked her because she was a princess from another race and culture. The fact that she`s beautiful and out spoken helps too. Very Happy

Jasmine has the best love interest!!! The other princes are out of their league.

I think part of the problem is that the "classic" Disney Princesses tended to be very one-dimensional: they were supposed to be like the ideal lady. Nowadays, Disney seems to be giving the newer princesses more flaws, and making them more fallible.

Yes, the first few were gentle and soft spoken as some women were at that time. They were almost shown as ideal housewives. Notice how Cinderella, Snow White and Aurora were shown cleaning at some point. Nowadays, females are being shown in stronger roles, more outspoken and taking a stand for what they believe. Do you see Ariel or Jasmine with a broom in their hands? Very Happy

Snow White: I have to say she's my favourite. (Hey, I have a sword and I'm not afraid to use it!) I really like her hair, and her singing voice is (in my opinion) beautiful. (This coming from a girl who can change her voice in one second depending on what she needs to be doing, but unfortunately cannot change her soprano voice so I sound really awkard with all my alto friends.) Anyway, I like Snow White. If you don't, that's fine, but I do.
Cinderella: Sure, she's great. It's not her fault she was a servant. And I like how she carefully disguises her wits around her stepfamiles. And I *envy* her singing voice!
Aurora: Have to say this was my least favourite, because we didn't get to see so much of her in the movie. Oh yeah, plus I hate pink.
Ariel: She's cool, she knew what she wanted and went for it, defying her father. Her father is NOT someone just anyone can defy, not with all his power. (Huh, guess that makes Ariel like Kam. Bonus points.) But I hate Eric. He didn't deserve her.
Jasmine: You think I'd be here if I didn't like Jasmine?! Jasmine is defintly the toughest princess (bonus points), knew what she wanted AND how to get her way, and kept up her spirit!

And the forgotten princess, Eilonwy (from The Black Cauldron): It's too bad she's forgotten, because she was a great character and a combination of the first three princesses and the modern ones!

In my opinion, Mulan and Jasmine are the best disney Princesses. Jasmine, is very smart, and independent, not to mention a very fast learner, she can punch hard too. I mean, she was the first Disney princess with pants!!! How kick-ass is that? I like Mulan, because she had a sword. She was witty, and fearless. She had her mind set, and she was going to follow that plan. also, she had the balls to cut off her beautiful, long black hair. I could NEVER do that. Plus, both these princesses has Lea Solonga do their singing voices. How... strange. Well, in the first Aladdin, at least.

Yeah, I was disillusioned when I bought it. I misread the back and thought there were at least two Jasmine episodes on it

I didn't even realize the episode on it was "Bad Mood Rising"! I've made a horrible mistake and severely embarassed myself in the process...imagine a full grown teenager walking out of Target with a Princess: Tales of the Heart DVD. ARGH!

But my favorite princesses are Jasmine and Mulan. Jasmine because...she just rocks! Her fiery spirit, her bravery, her beauty, she's just really cool! And Mulan because she was the first (I think...) asian disney heroine. And I thought that was really cool. Her personality, wit, courage, and awesome fighting skills make her really cool. Mulan may not be a princess but I think she's an aristocrat anyway...

On another note though has anyone here played Kingdom Hearts? Yeah I'm a video game junkie...sue me. Weren't the choices for the princesses of heart a little random? I under stand Jasmine, Aurora, and Cinderella. But what was Alice doing there? Belle she's a princess through marriage...

Ooh, never try to write a post after taking Nyquil...I'm dizzy... Confused

I hate being sick Sad
