It’s the Royal Wedding today. I thought this might be a fun occasion
to do a post about Disney Princesses.
The ranking in this list is just my current top 3 princesses, I am also only
going off characters who are included in current the official Disney Princess
line-up.
3 – Pocahontas
First off, I know Pocahontas
has problematic parts. I also know that a lot of people dismiss the movie out
of hand because of that. However I think that Pocahontas has a lot of positive aspects
that people often don’t acknowledge.
Personally I think Pocahontas is a great character. (She
also has the best animal sidekick in Meeko!) Pocahontas tries to fight for what
she believes in, she fights for love and understanding, and she aims to bring
people together. I think some of her lines like, “This is where the path of
hatred has brought us. This is the path I choose.” have a lot of resonance.
2 – Merida
Merida is determined, opinionated, stubborn, and resourceful.
She really broke with what is expected of a Disney
Princess and it worked well. I feel like Merida is also one of a limited
number of princesses who actually has to deal with her actions having
consequences in terms of the rule of her kingdom.
Whilst Brave is
not one of my favourite Pixar movies or one of favourite Disney Princess movies, Merida is utterly one of my absolute favourite
Disney Princesses. I recently re-watched
Brave and it reminded me of just how
great Merida is.
1 – Tiana
I love Tiana. A self-motivated, hardworking, young woman who
wants to start her own business. Tiana doesn’t just wait around for something
to happen, she knows what she wants and she strives to get it.
Tiana really is a great character and for me she is
absolutely the very best Disney Princess.
