Disney cartoons are the best company in my childhood and I believe that to some of us they still are. One of the most fascinating role in the cartoons are the various princesses. Each of them had their own beautifulness and characteristic and can always make a little girl cry to her mom for products with their faces on.
Few months ago it dawned on me that I actually know little about them. Therefore, I decided to list them and make a comparison between them based on the Walt Disney version of the stories…
I’m going to introduce them by age, though a bit cruel. First, the oldest, Snow White.
Snow White is friendly and always kind to one another, though it leads to her death before the prince came to save her—she should never take things from strangers, especially an evil-looking one. She lacks the power of judgment. Even the prince she fell in love with is the love-at-first-sight. 
Next, Sleeping Beauty. Sleeping Beauty is cursed and has to live in the woods to hide from the evil witch. She is a good girl, we can tell from how much the fairy ladies love her. She dreams about the prince, the one who meant to marry her and to save her from the long sleep, very often. Her sixth sense is strong; but still, she could not save her herself.
Cinderalla, not a princess before she married the prince, was a poor, abused girl. She has been treated as a servant of the house but seldom show reluctant to her stepmother and stepsisters. She is endurant and obedient. Her marriage can be counted as love at first sight as well, which I am not really admire.
The next three stories are hard to tell the exact time they were made, so I’ll start from Princess Jasmine in Alladin to the little mermaid Ariel, and finally Belle in Beauty and the Beast. These three princesses start to have their own temper as human being, not anymore a perfect doll. The next post will be even more interesting!

i've read an article stating that gIselle from Enchanted is the combo of all the disney "princess syndrome," maybe you could analyse her too lol. don't get me wrong i love that film!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like some of the Disney cartoons too, but not those with princesses though. Cool analysis, somewhat humor too, I like it. Looking forward to the next part and some more Disney cartoon comparisons!
ReplyDeleteWow! You have such good sense of observation! I love Sleeping Beauty the most. I am so envy that she could had long sleep... Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next three princesses especially Ariel!
omg. this really reminds me of my fantasy in childhood of being a princess!(which girl didn't have that kind of fantacy? i used to draw princesses on every piece of art work.)
ReplyDeletethis analysis is awesome! and yes, the age thing is a bit cruel. i don't even want to count how many years ago it was when i first watched Snow White cartoon.
i 100% agree with Keith. i would love to read ur analysis of the princess in Enchanted. i love that movie to death!
to Keith:
ReplyDeletePrincess syndrome...? Interesting! I'll check this out! Oh and, I love Enchanted, too! But analyzing Giselle might take some work; after all, the film itself is about reversing the image of what princesses should be. Thank you for the advise though!
to Eric:
ReplyDeleteYou don't look like someone who love Disney cartoons, I have to say. But I'm glad that you left a comment here without attacking Snow White(I know you wanted to). Thanks, dude! :D
to Isabella:
ReplyDeleteSleeping Beauty is gorgeous! Ha!
But she didn't sleep too long in the cartoon, actually; she was awakened the day she fell into sleep...I "reviewed" the film and shockingly discovered that.
to Cindy Swatt:
ReplyDeleteYou drew princesses on every work?? Wow, I can tell that you really do like them!!!
So you like Enchanted, too? Okay, since you all love Giselle so much...I'll try to make it another post!:D
Thank you for visiting!!!!(bow)
Really? oooohhhhhhhhh that's too bad......
