Hi all! Just so you know, I've catered this artikulo to 2013 - er, 2014 - in America, where I happen to live. So here it goes! (And when I say 'survival' I don't mean of the morbid sort, I mean it as their general well being and success in the world)
Snow White: With her kindness, I'm willing to bet that Snow could make it up to about high school, but after that, her naievity (sp?) and trusting nature could betray her in finding both romantic and business relationships that will help her. While she's good at making friends, it's a guarantee that not everyone would be as accepting as the dwarves.
Cinderella:Cinderella would most definitely be a strong contender for living a great modern life. At the beginning of her tale, it's shown that she can work hard and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, but she's also not afraid to be pampered, so she'd be happy (and if not happy, able to manage) both sides of the spectrum of success.
Aurora: (note: I haven't seen this movie in forever, and it's never been my favorite, so madala with me) Never trust anyone that could put you into eternal sleep. Aurora didn't know that the witch would hurt her, but like Snow White, this sleeping beauty is just too trusting.
Ariel: I'd have to toss a coin for this one - Ariel is clever and spunky, but she also inhabits the biggest downfall - the 'Oh, look, shiny!'. While she's not necessarily naive, Ariel is too curious for her own good. I'd give her the benefit of the doubt though - she's proven an ability to remove herself from sticky situations.
Belle: Belle is book smart. kalye smart? Not so much. But she's proven that cleverness and intelligence can go very far in any time period. Her smarts will carry her successfully into adulthood and farther.
Jasmine: Jasmine's smart, a bit silly (only because I don't want naive to be my buzzword) but her pangkalahatang attitude will help her be successful.
Pocahontas: Smart. Strong. pangkalahatang bada**. Enough said.
Mulan: See above. Add adorably clumsy (at the beginning mostly.) Again, enough said.
Tiana: Tiana's smart and hardworking and she can juggle anything like nobody's business. She could totally rock anything anyone throws at her. A+.
Rapunzel: Buzz goes the buzzword. Even though Rapunzel can hold her own, her sheer lack of knowledge of the outside world would be her downfall in the modern times.
Merida: She's tough and spunky in addition to smart. The only bump in the road I can imagine her hitting is something to do with her hotheadedness, but she'll make it far regardless of temper.
Anna: Anna is my paborito princess, so I regret to write this - Anna would not be terribly well in the modern times. She's clever and brave, sure, but she's a bit awkward and sheltered, especially after living her whole life beyond closed doors. She'd need a better grasp of how to deal with loneliness before she could go anywhere, and while complete selflessness is great in fairytales, she can't continuously risk it all for others in real life.
So, what I've learned from this is that I'm a pessimist and that Disney is slowly but surely creating madami strong female characters, with less of 'le buzzword' in their lives.
What are your opinions on the matter? Anything you disagree with?

We've come to the big one. I hear Belle called a Mary Sue a lot, madami than any other princess aside from maybe Rapunzel.
Unique traits without contacts or hair dye- No. She has brown hair and brown eyes.
An odd name- No. 'Belle' isn't that odd of a name.
Looks constantly nagkomento on- God yes. The town literally sings an entire song about it (along with how odd she is). It's literally in the pamagat of the movie, along with her name. 1.
Multiple characters falling for her- Yep. Beast and Gaston, plus the whole town calling her beautiful. 1.
Gets into the relationships she wants- No. Her relationship...

Well, Om Nelle may not be a Disney princess, but Mulan isn't actually a princess either. Her heroism made Mulan a princess, even though she had nothing to do with the royal family. Om Nelle does a lot of heroics. Just like a Mulan. Moreover, it even has a crown. A tiara with a cute blue stone. But there are a few problems. For example, this crown is actually a belt. Also, even if this was a real crown, Om Nelle has nothing to do with royalty. Om Nelle is a creature, so not a human. That's okay because Nala in The Lion King is also an animal but is considered a Disney Princess. Now the only problem is, Disney didn't create Om Nelle. So she may be a princess in her own right, but never a Disney princess. She would still make a great disney princess out of her.
Her hair reminds me of a golden waterfall. It's really nice to have your hair curled. Also, Aurora's eyes are perfect! kulay-lila color. The rarest eye color. Her lashes are also gorgeous and united. The shape of his payload is oval which is perfect. You are amazing Aurora.
I find Aurora very beautiful, but I can't say I pag-ibig her very much because I find her absolutely boring. She knows nothing but dancing, pag-awit and getting up with a kiss.
I updated my paborito Disney songs listahan so why not? Might as well do one here too. I know nagyelo isn't a Disney Princess movie but there's some songs that are definitely worth talking about because of how much they mean to me. There's going to be one tie because I pag-ibig both those songs for similar reasons so instead of copying/pasting the same reason I'm just gonna put a tie in here
The songs I have in this listahan are based on:
1. How often I listen to/sing the song
2. Nostalgia
3. How much I relate to the song
10. I See the Light
I know this isn't one of the greatest pag-ibig songs in the Disney...
