 Yes, THESE designs.
Yes, THESE designs.
When it comes to the DP lineup, fans have come to expect that the merchandise designs of our paborito characters aren't always going to match their looks in the movie. Sometimes you give the benefit of the doubt, because there may be some difficulty in translating to the new lineup art style, or changes may be done on purpose for marketing reasons. But other times, there is no exception. And for years we have dealt with some shameless representations of these heroines. Let it be said, though; some are fairly close to the pinagmulan material. Today I'll be counting down which of the above character designs best fit their looks in their respective movies. This is purely opinion, but even if you disagree on a few points, I hope you enjoy reading. So let's start off with the least accurate, and work our way up:


11. Cinderella
Now if I remember right, Sinderella is slightly infamous for her new merchandise design. And if that is right, then I definitely see why. I find hers to least resemble the original character. I mean, sure, the key components are there. The general disensyo of her dress is the same, and her general hairstyle is the same. But good gosh, the coloring is excessive! The color of Cinderella's ballgown has been debated. Is it blue, or is it platinum? Well, when she makes it to the palace, her dress appears blue (supposedly due to the lighting). But it is not as saturated as it is in her new design. You may also notice that her sleeves and palda floofs are madami flouncy and translucent. It's not a major change, but it's certainly noticeable. There are some earrings too which weren't there before. And if you don't know already, practically every princess' dress has additional embroidery.
As if the toga wasn't bad enough, the face and cosmetics are wrong, too. While it might make sense to give Sinderella a bun that appears madami physically possible (I'd even argue that it looks nice), it's too much of a departure from her signature updo. Her hair is also a different color. Originally she had "burnt orange" hair, then unofficially became a presa blonde after the DVD restoration. But in merchandise, she is and always has been a straight-up blonde like her pal Aurora. Which is worse, the botched coloring or the facial features? It's hard to say. It is difficult to tell that's the face of Cinderella, though. I think the main issue is the eyes; the shape is incorrect. The old lineup disensyo was closer, and the eyes was a big reason why. You can probably pick out Sinderella from the lineup in context, but it's difficult to find discrete similarities to her original character model.


10. Mulan
Look Disney; it's bad enough that you give Mulan the cold-shoulder in merchandise. But now she must put up with this new design, too. Yikes. Well, the main complaint I have is with the face. Is this just something that's really difficult to do? Despite the similarity of these two images, you can tell that the face on the left just doesn't match. It's hard to say why, but I think they made it too scrunched up. As a result, her smile looks super odd. The eyes are okay, but the eyebrows make them seem worse because they're so arched and jetting off at different angles.
The hair is not bad. She has loose strands now, but that seems to be a trend with these designs. I placed Mulan above Sinderella because even though the facial structure is off, the outfit is not as botched. The coloring is mostly the same; they only changed the palda color from ecru to pale yellow, and they added some designs. And the red balutin around her waist has been increased in length to where it almost touches the floor. And is that the comb from the movie in Mulan's hair? Well, it's not the right color, but I guess it's a nice coincidence. Mulan's disensyo is definitely not great, but is slightly madami tolerable than Cinderella's. Slightly.


9. Jasmine
Maybe you're surprised to see her this low. And granted, her getup is pretty similar to what's in the movie. Her outfit is still teal, and her shoes, hairband and kuwintas are the same. The major wardrobe changes are 1) changing the color of her jewelry and shoes to yellow, 2) the shape of the earrings, 3) the jewels, and 4) THE SKIRT!...pant, cover thing. It's Disney's delayed response to the fact that hasmin doesn't sport a traditional dress. It looks kind of silly, but it doesn't take away from the disensyo drastically. And you may catch the new sleeves that she has, which replace the old ones to match the palda thing.
But again, the biggest issue is the face. I think hasmin looks too young in the merchandise picture. She is curiously only 15 in the movie, so maybe they were trying to make her better match her age, although I doubt that's the reason. The eyes are again a major problem. They're too light, and the iris takes up too much of that space. Her hair was also modified, and not too badly, although it looks like it has less volume now. I'm surprised that despite all these changes, hasmin still looks...sort of close to the original character. But the issues made here are still too great to rank higher.


8. Pocahontas
Aaand maybe you're surprised to see that Pocahontas made it this far! It's true, they added a lot of clutter to her appearance. It's kind of ridiculous. They ornamented her with beads and feathers that were not there before, possibly to make it very clear that she's Native American. They've added these to her dress too, and it actually doesn't look too bad. That is to say, not only does the new dress look nice, but it also isn't super different from the original.
The boots from the disensyo just before this have stayed, much to our dismay. They don't look bad, but that's not really the point. Pocahontas is pretty well known for going barefoot throughout the entire movie, so seeing her with big and obvious tsinelas is kind of a slap to the face. And of all the complaints I've made about princess' faces, this one takes the cake. She looks so dopey here that I can't explain it. Well, maybe I can. For one thing, her right eye (her right, your left) -- the iris looks like it's about to fall out the corner. Second, the other one looks like she's staring into your soul. And finally, she's smiling. Now I find this point interesting. Pocahontas doesn't smile a whole lot during her movie, especially with her teeth. And in nakaraan merchandise designs, she sported her signature smile-less stance. Now Disney's all in for the grins. So, why did Pocahontas make it to #8? Well, despite the obvious problems, I think she genuinely looks closer to the original character than the nakaraan entries. The added accessories are annoying, but they're not really replacing anything. And as goofy as her expression is, I think her eyes and hair are pretty close to what's in the film. They're both the correct shape! So congrats, Pocahontas, for not being dead last.


7. Aurora
Aurora's lineup disensyo has never been quite right. Despite her movie being pretty recognizable, her looks in that film seem to have escaped Disney's mind. So would you believe it if I sinabi that I think this redesign is actually kind of an improvement?
Let's look at the dress. Considering the changes they've made to the other dresses, I'm surprised this one looks so close. They "only" added embroidery and sparkles to the skirt, and possibly the trim, too; I can't tell. And would you look at that! Her hair matches close enough, too. The color has always been super blonde in merchandise, even though in the movie, it's a light blonde. But the curls at the ends are correct. And her face is the part that I think has improved a little. Now the screencap I chose is not the best to reference (I chose it so as to compare the outfits), but if you were to look at a shot of her in the forest, like here...



...then you might see madami of a connection. Her eyes are better shaped than before, although there's still a little work to do there. And they sure didn't forget the kulay-lila color! Seriously, among all of Aurora's physical traits, the eye color is what they got? It's not even consistent in the movie! But I digress. Her pangkalahatang facial structure matches better than it did before, and even the smile looks alright. Now if they could perfect the eye shape, Aurora will be in business.


6. Rapunzel
Considering that Rapunzel had to be converted to 2D for her merchandise shot, she doesn't look half bad. The dress is pretty true to what's in the movie, although the floral pattern is along the bottom of the dress instead of vertically up the skirt. The shade of purple is slightly off too, but that's a nitpick. The only change that might be infuriating is giving Rapunzel some shoes. But in her defense, she probably needs them anyway. Joking aside, they were smart to keep the shoes simple, supplying her with matching Flats and not gaudy tsinelas like Pocahontas.
Now her hair could use some work. It's not a realistic blonde color like in the movie, but instead very yellow like the other princesses. I'm going to give it credit, though; this might just be a detail that is Nawawala during the translation to 2D. The shape of her hair and the way it is arranged is also pretty good when you compare it to the film. You wanna take a guess what the problem area is? That's right -- the face! It's not that bad compared to the nakaraan entries, but again, detail is lost. Rapunzel is not quite as pale as is portrayed here, and I think they're missing the sort of baby cheeks that she has. But considering where Rapunzel is coming from, her lineup picture could have been much worse. She only suffers from some reduced detail, and understandably so.


5. Belle
You would not believe how difficult it was to find a good screencap of Belle for this. After searching for a couple hours, this closed-eye shot was the best I could get.
From here on out, the princesses' lineup designs will match their original characters fairly well. And Belle for the most part is pretty recognizable. The dress has not been altered too much. It looks like they might have added the same kind of palda poofs that Cinderella's toga has, since the tuktok part of Belle's palda is solid yellow like the torso. But they kept the sashes, and chose a fitting embroidery pattern of roses. The gloves look the same too, although they might have been made longer. It's worth noting though that her dress is madami of a straight-up yellow than in the movie, where it had a little ginto tinge.
As for the face (why is this so difficult to get right?!), it's not as bad as some of the others. Her eyes look nice and are correctly colored, and if I'm not mistaken, they do look almond-shaped. The mouth is not quite accurate, though. Her lips look rather thin. But the hair, though too light and much wavier, is recognizable enough. Her redesign could use some work, but it's pretty good nonetheless.


4. Ariel
It almost feels criminal to place Ariel this high, because there is one glaring issue with her disensyo -- the dress! It does not appear in the movie, although anyone who's seen it can tell that this merchandise dress was entirely inspired sa pamamagitan ng her mermaid attire. The green and purple match perfectly, and I suspect that this new dress was made solely to make the character madami recognizable. When you think of Ariel, you're madami likely to remember her mermaid tail than any of the dresses she sports. But truly, this disensyo boasts excellent attention to the face. It matches REALLY well! Thankfully, Ariel has a very youthful appearance in the movie, so they didn't have to age her down (as they seem to have done with those other princesses' designs). The eyes are the correct shape and color, and the smile is alright. She's capable of much bigger, warmer smiles, but this one is almost there. And her wavier hair isn't such a big deal since everything else is so recognizable. Even with its changes, this portrayal excels at making Ariel still feel like Ariel.


3. Tiana
This disensyo annoys me because one aspect is done to a tee while the other is distractingly wrong. But praise needs to be ibingiay to Tiana's dress here. It looks like it wasn't tampered with at all! Perhaps the green part of the dress is too saturated, but if that's the biggest problem with it, I'd say they did something right here. The beads of her jewelry are blue, even though they look closer to silver in the screenshot, but it's a minor change. The eyes though are a major problem. Just as they did with Jasmine, they made Tiana look significantly younger. She looks like she's in her teen years...which technically she is (supposedly she's 19), but you know, her lower teens, like 14 or 15. It's all in the eyes. The pupils again take up too much space, and the shape is wrong too. But gosh, if that dress isn't perfect. And also seeing as how the eyes are the only problem I have here, Tiana makes it to the tuktok 3.


2. Snow White
Who would have thought that Snow White would get so lucky with her merchandise picture? Her nakaraan designs have always been...serviceable. The one thing that's bothered me is the smile. Sometimes, the smile is big, but doesn't feel warm. Other times, it's like this one -- a light smile that feels like she's smiling for a photo. In the movie, it's always warm and genuine. Just look at the screencap! This one feature is just something that Disney hasn't been able to get right.
That being said, virtually everything else gels up. The dress has only experienced minor recoloring and, of course, sparkle addition (which looks pretty tacky, but whatever). The shoes, the collar, and the headband are accurate, though. If you really want to nitpick, you could mention that the bow wasn't off to the side like that before, but I could care less. I pag-ibig that the face is as accurate as it is. Again, the look isn't movie-quality, but the details are pretty close. They correctly portray her small eyes, red lips, and light skin tone. It's about as good as one of these things can get.


1. Merida
Now this one is a shocker. Or is it? If you recall, there was a little controversy over Merida's original lineup design. This character, known for not exactly looking like a conventional Disney princess, looked like she had just spent the araw getting a makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique:



After that little slip-up on Disney's part, they of course had to come up with something a little closer to what's in the movie. I think they were afraid of messing up again, so they took extra care into getting everything about Merida's appearance right -- or at least, not over-feminizing it. Now someone, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks to me that this dark-colored merchandise dress is a combination of the initial dark dress (second image, left) and the light blue one (first image, right). It's basically the dark dress with some extra, NOT over-the-top details. That bottom ginto pattern is nice and compliments the other ginto parts. No sparkles, no glitter, no off-shoulder sleeves -- it's everything you could want. And that's not even considering the face, which couldn't be madami perfect. The round blue eyes are spot-on, as is the face shape and the red locks. What a turnaround for Merida, beginning with one of the most inexcusable designs ever in the lineup to (in my opinion) the most accurate of all.

That's the end of this article! Thank you for reading, and let me know which designs you think are the most and least accurate. See you guys around!

Hello everyone!
I'm ezilo25 and this is my very first artikulo on this site! I wanted to do something special, and since I have read the Grimms Tale in German my whole life, I wanted to do a comparison of disney movie adaptations and the Tales of Grimm. So, let's get started! Oh, and excuse me if I do grammatical

Cinderella

Oh, Cinderelli... I adore the Disney character, I am passionate about the animation movie, but I am in pag-ibig with Aschenputtel, the Grimms version of the Cinderella. Yes, I know, the movie is inspired sa pamamagitan ng the Perrault version, which...

I find that Snow has the opposite problem as Elsa: she is frequently just typed as a sensor (because you know, she's all traditional and not adventurous and likes to cook and all that boring sensor stuff, right?). There's a lot of bias and stereotyping with MBTI fans, and I used to be guilty of it too (OK, sometimes I still am). though to be fair, I think Snow IS a little underdeveloped in ways, so she could really be interpreted either way. However, I'll explain why I think she uses Ni over Si.

I posted this on the Frizen tagahanga club while back and now I'm posting it here.

Everyone on here that knows pretty much knows how much I pag-ibig Anna and despise Elsa. I mean, I certainly like Elsa madami than I did when I joined in July, but I really hated her when I joined. So that's not saying much.

Right now, Elsa is twelfth place on my Disney Princesses as opposed to thirteenth place like she was when I first joined, while Anna made it to the top, instead of segundo place. So, both have moved up on my list, but Anna is still way in front of Elsa on my list.

It may not come as a surprise, since Elsa...

Who doesn't pag-ibig travel?

Well, I mean, I'm sure there are people who, beyond my comprehension, don't enjoy exploring other parts of the big wide world. But I pag-ibig travel. And I'm sure the Princesses would too. So here are the places the Disney Princesses would enjoy vacationing to. *Disclaimer: I have never been to these cities, so if I sound stupid, have mercy!

I'm sorry but I disagree with each side. I mean I agree with each side but I don't. I think both sides of the argument are taking things way too far, and it doesn't need to.

Frozen fans need to just accept that not everyone likes this movie and nagyelo haters need to learn that they are being just as rude as the nagyelo fans and they just need to stop.

Both sides really need to stop because they're ruining this movie for me. They already ruined Elsa for me, and soon, I'll hate the whole thing, even Anna, who's my paborito DP.

Yes, it's just a nightgown, and yes, kulay-rosas is not her color, but yes oh yes does it look pretty, comfortable and just appealing.

If the ends were just cleaned up a bit, and she changed out of those ugly clogs, this would be an adorable outfit. She is rockin' that hairbow.

 Honorary Mention: Cinderella's Father
Honorary Mention: Cinderella's Father
Okay so I basically grew up without parents in a large sense. That being said, I always yearned for a loving, stable and consistent mother and father to teach morals, values, effective and constructive communication, consequences for actions, real love, respect, trust, honor, etc. Since Walt Disney founded the company under those family and character-based values, I have always been very attached to the Disney brand. That being said, I was thinking about the Disney Princesses' parents and if I could have traded my childhood situation with one of them, which would it be? Since I also pag-ibig lists...

After seeing Sweetie94's prettiest disney princess list, I wanted to make one of mine as well. I'm not really a tagahanga of the beauty of modern princesses, I find them rather too doll types, somehow. So they are all ranking low on my list. Hope you'll enjoy it, here it goes:

13. Elsa:
Eh, are her eyes for real? Way too big on her face and her lips are so thin. She does have that barbie doll kind of look to her. She has an unbalanced face proportion, her upper portion of face is too big as compared to the lower portion and that gives her an unnatural look, imo. I quite like her hair though, snow blonde,...

Happy Halloween! After much thinking about this, I think I finally came up with another artikulo that i'm sure would be interesting to talk about.

Everything lives in a balance. there can't be good without bad, light without darkness, etc etc...The dichtonomy of ying-yang and how they complement each other is a subject that I find fascinating to read about, and mostly to apply it to other things. Something interesting i noted is how often in Disney the villains are pretty much the exact opposite of the heroes, but they often sometimes come from a same base. And in that base, they have much in...

12. Cinderella

Okay so the bottom 3 are the only ones I'm really sure about and especially number 12, I mean do I even need to explain why it's last? But luckily it's there for a good reason, but despite being last it does have a few scary moments, but nowhere near as much as the pelikula above
