This is my updated princess tagahanga list. The biggest change is a swap-out/trade-placements of two princesses. These are my opinions. I will explain as I go.


1. Mulan
    I’ll probably be a tagahanga of her my whole life. She’s the most sacrificial character in the whole Disney Princess lineup, and I can’t help admiring her for overcoming her numerous flaws. Mulan is a convincing heroine, and her humaneness is something that I find missing in some of the Revival Era girls.

2. Ariel
    She was my childhood favorite, but she doesn’t seem to diminish in my eyes even as I grow older. Ariel symbolizes rebirth. Ariel represents “the need to change yourself.” If you don’t change yourself, life will just thrust changes upon you, anyway. My own personal life experiences ipakita this to be factual. Ariel shows me that you can still resolve to be kind to your closest family members, even if they have been unkind to you in the past (she shares this trait with Cinderella). Ariel shows me that you can still remain hopeful of the outcome, even if all you see in front of you right now is mahirap paniwalaan trauma and obstacles. Ariel shows me that miracles are not always something external, but can be internal as well. It is not awful to become someone different from what you once were. Change is a private miracle. Ariel embraces “change” so completely, and does not hold herself back. Ariel symbolizes the courage it takes to leave familiarity behind and fully embrace the unknown. This trait is not as well-developed in a whole lot of the lineup girls, actually.

3. Rapunzel Rapunzel is a fairly new addition, and the only Revival Princess I happen to feel comfortable sticking up in my tuktok five. Why? She’s sunny, compassionate, and kind. Kindness matters to me a lot. Some people find her boring and a Mary Sue. But what they find boring in her, I find morally centered. The only reason Rapunzel is not higher, is because she is so hesitant. Unlike Mulan and Ariel who fully embrace “change” and go after it immediately-- Rapunzel holds herself back out of her fear of Mother Gothel’s reprisal.


4. Pocahontas Pocahontas isn’t well-liked around Fanpop. She’s pretty much ignored. Some see her as a boring character, who is just a mouthpiece for environmental conservationism. I beg to differ. Poca has a nice sense of humor, is compassionate to strangers, and is a thinker. The only reason she isn’t higher, is—yet again--- Poca gets in her own way, and holds herself back. Poca likes “the constant changing” of the riverbend, but she isn’t fully committed to going the whole way. She still ties herself back with familiarity, and that’s why she ends up at number four on this list.

5. Sinderella Oh, happy day! Sinderella was my other childhood favorite, along with Ariel. I always loved Cindy for being so compassionate to others, and so noble in the face of hardship. Sinderella never resorted to throwing tantrums or calling people names. She’s patient and hardworking, and I have always rooted for her to win the prince and leave Miss maasim step-family behind. Change will do you good.

6. hasmin She’s still at number six. hasmin wants to get out. I relate to that part of her, still. I can’t help thinking royal life is just booooorrrrring. A succession of parades, fetes, show-up interviews, and photo-ops. I don’t want Duchess Kate Middleton’s life, for example. (That’s why I’m definitely not upset at Ariel that she missed the konsiyerto at the beginning of TLM. That konsiyerto sounded like the same laborious repetition of everything having to do with life under the sea. Royal life seems deadening and stilted, even and especially if you’re a female). I don’t blame hasmin for being fed up with palace life, either, and I can see why she loved Aladdin’s brand of mischief. The only reason Jas isn’t higher, is because the movie focuses on Aladdin a lot, and she doesn’t get as much screen time.


7. Aurora She’s dreamy and kind. She’s pretty, and another thoughtful princess ( like Poca). I was neutral to her once (just as I was with Poca), but Aurora has slowly grown on me. The thing that makes me respect Aurora, is this. Aurora could have easily decided to refuse the betrothal from her birth, and what it entailed--- but she went through with it, anyway. Aurora sacrificed her happiness with Philip in the forest, to save a kingdom she didn’t even know about for sixteen whole years. That takes a tremendous amount of will power.



8. Snow White A reyna wants this bubbly little sweet motherly creature dead. I have always liked Snow White. What I like most about her is her kindness and her optimism. Snow White does not resort to ipinapakita anger and hatred for her mean stepparent. Instead, she prays for her evil stepmother. It takes guts to pray for your mean family members, instead of lashing out at them.



9. Merida This is her new placement. Yup. It finally happened. Merida is fiery, but is such a sourpuss, too. Merida rarely has a good day. Merida is constantly bitchy and moody. The only time I see a true light-up-the-world smile on Merida’s face is when she is alone with Angus, or alone climbing a cliff. This makes me think that Merida keeps her family at arm’s length. That is her choice. Not everyone has to pag-ibig their family. What was the deciding factor to explain me placing Merida so low? Merida is constantly blaming Elinor, and her total venom and cruelty towards her mom over the whole marriage thing just drives me crazy. This is what sinks her to spot number 9. Merida, why is it your intention to change someone else, instead of changing yourself? Instead of being so full of spiteful negativity towards your mom, you could have tried to speak with her in front of the clans. Resorting to vandalism and a cryptic spell that did destructive harm to your mom did not impress me. Merida also has nothing on Mulan in the sacrificial or bravery departments. See addendum.


10. Belle She’s always been disliked sa pamamagitan ng me. I didn’t like her when I first saw her on the big screen in 1991. Belle thinks far too highly of herself. She’s snooty. She’s too good for the provincial townspeople, she’s too good for Gaston, she’s too good for the likes of the beast, whom she calls “a monster.” I can understand some of Belle’s ostracization, because Belle brought it on herself. Belle stuck people with labels, and called them provincial—which led them to close-ranks, and view her as an “odd” person. I think Belle doesn’t help her own situation. I find Belle’s pity party rather boring, and Belle doesn’t like “change.” Belle won’t embrace the unknown. Belle talks a big line about “wanting to live in the great wide somewhere”--- but when it finally materializes, all she does is gripe, gripe, gripe. Belle only sacrifices herself one time, for her dad. After that, Belle doesn’t really sacrifice herself again at all. At the culmination of the movie, Belle chooses her father’s life over the beast’s life. I’ve been done with Belle as a role model for a long time. Sure, Belle. Go right ahead and leave the beast high and dry to deal with the mob and your stalker, Gaston--- since you didn’t offer yourself in exchange. I tanong Belle as being the most compassionate Disney princess that she’s marketed to be. Her actions in the movie totally fail her marketing test.

11. Tiana I admire her hardworking tenacity, but her demeanor is lacking. Tiana has a mean streak ( just like Merida and Belle both do) and she doesn’t have a real problem displaying her anger in front of others. When Tiana doesn’t get her restaurant, she throws a fit, just like Merida throws a tantrum about the marriage request, and Belle has a pity party about being the beast’s prisoner. I wish Tiana would refrain from issuing mean quips at sinag (who only tries to help her, for crying out loud!!!) Even if her harshest criticism is justified in Naveen’s case--- all that this shows me is that Tiana doesn’t have control over her own tongue. Tiana just says the first thing that enters her head. I don’t admire Tiana really. sa pamamagitan ng the end of the movie, Tiana gives up NOTHING that she had going on. Tiana ultimately gets even madami than what she wanted at first--- she gets Naveen AND her restaurant—while Lottie who is understandably affluent, flamboyant, a little crazy, and who is a much sweeter person pangkalahatang than Tiana is gets…to wait for Naveen’s tiny brother to grow up. charlotte was sacrificial. charlotte gave up her dream of love, so that Tiana could have a career and love. Talk about TPATF being wacky.

In my opinion, my bottom three girls should suck it up. I don’t understand why they seem to blame other people constantly for the circumstances they are in. They are holding themselves back from changing and becoming nicer people.

ADDENDUM    So. It has finally happened. My four taon struggle to pag-ibig Merida is over. The cognitive dissonance I have endured has finally stopped. I am no longer at war with myself. I feel a sense of profound relief, actually. I adore Elinor. She is lovely to watch. I find Merida’s personality and her decision-making far too childish and foolish. Merida wants to remain riding Angus, shooting arrows, and has the “Peter-Pan Syndrome” written all over her. Merida, like Peter Pan, is the champion of never accepting her adult responsibilities.

Why is the movie called Brave, exactly? I have always wondered exactly how Merida is brave.… Her fans say it is because she stood up for herself against coercion, and because she admits to her mistake “in-universe.” But I wonder…? Merida actually did all of these non-brave things.
1. Merida already had a complicated relationship with Elinor-- but Merida then exacerbated it.
2. To avoid getting married, Merida went the whole nine yards! Merida showed out in front her clans, threw a complete tantrum, vandalized personal property that wasn’t her own, called her mother a beast, and then resolved to manipulate her mother’s most personal thoughts.

This is bravery? All of those actions do not constitute the kind of bravery I grew up with. Merida didn’t lay down her life for someone else’s. No, Mulan did that with her father, Shang, and the emperor. Ariel did that with Flounder, Sebastian, and Eric. Saving a person whom you cursed with a magic spell is not bravery. Merida only corrected a mistake she made sa pamamagitan ng turning her own mother into a bear. That’s actually far from the standard definition of bravery I read in Merriam-Webster. Bravery means courage. Merida didn’t do anything courageous. Mulan saved an entire country from pillaging and genocide, while Merida’s country just decided to go along with Merida’s dislike of tradition. Merida is not the heroine of Brave. Elinor is. Merida doesn’t fully change her mind about marriage and love. Elinor fully changes her mind about the marriage and what pag-ibig means. Merida is a protagonist caricature. Merida is a tragic character to me, and one who is only concerned with her own self-fulfillment.

     As for Merida being “called-out for her mistake within the universe of Brave”—that simply doesn’t happen at all! Merida’s fans would like to say that Merida gets called out for her mistake. But Merida simply doesn’t get punished for all of the things she does in the movie. Nope. That would take much madami running time than the clocked 100 minutes. The things that do happen within bravo are pitiful indeed. It is Elinor who ultimately kills the villain, Mor’du. That’s right. Merida doesn’t even injure the villain to redeem her own self-image! Instead, Merida wraps the tapestry she formerly vandalized over her mother, cries a few tears in front of the clans, and gets exactly what she has always wanted. Merida gets a new tradition that includes absolutely zero responsibilities for her. Mulan, though, accepted a new military life with all kinds of hard responsibilities. So, I fail to find Merida bravo or particularly sacrificial. What other people might need for their own futures never once crosses Merida’s mind. The movie basically praises Merida for coercing her mother into viewing life the way that she herself does.
    Romance can be a valuable part of becoming an adult for some people. Even then, if you are aromantic, and want to stay single well into adulthood, then that’s a personal choice. Staying single has NOTHING AT ALL to do with FEMINISM. bravo is not a feminist movie. It’s a movie about a girl who wants her own way at all costs.
    I can accept that Merida is a flawed character. Heck, all of the girls in my tuktok five are flawed--- Mulan, Ariel, Rapunzel, Pocahontas, and Sinderella all have weak points. Merida’s complete willingness to physically hurt her mother to achieve her goal is why I dislike her. Merida is not an icon for females everywhere. She’s an icon only to her dedicated fanbase. Merida’s fans can pag-ibig her for her fiery traits and her brashness. But I don’t have to pag-ibig Merida for what I see in her. Merida is a skilled manipulator, and Merida never learns how to stop being a manipulator sa pamamagitan ng the end of the movie’s running time. So now, Merida is finally at position 9 on my princess list. Cinderella, with her patient and kind spirit towards her evil stepmother, has taken Merida’s former position. (I have so longed to put Sinderella up in my tuktok five! Finally, it has happened!!!!)

I have sinabi so many times that while I like Merida, I don’t pag-ibig her. This placement for Merida now fits with what I have been saying all along. I used to feel extremely bad and torn about this, because I pag-ibig Elinor, and Merida is her child. But now I don’t. Merida has to stand on her own footing in front of me. A character who manipulates people to get her own way, is not a character I will lovingly embrace and hold close to me. I have now placed Merida bedside the princesses who most directly resemble her in the Disney lineup. With this update of my princess list, I am no longer at war with my own conscience, thankfully. I have been at war for four years with my conscience. I just could not, ultimately, keep up a charade sa pamamagitan ng admiring a mean character. It worried me so.

Since this was a really major decision for me, that’s why I wrote this article. I have been distraught about Merida for almost four years, since 2012. No one has to agree with me. But I accept change. Change is inevitable. I’m not fond of Peter Pan’s and Merida’s movie messaging of never growing up. It's false. New life circumstances continue to find me, and I have opted to change myself, which is a concept that I see reflected in Mulan and Ariel the most, and to some degree in the other princesses of the lineup. Familiarity and staying with what you know is not always inherently good. Changing yourself to adapt to new circumstances is not always inherently bad.
The saddest moments from DP pelikula that made me cry and most often they still do. Some are close to puso while some are so well enacted and animated that i'm moved sa pamamagitan ng the simplicity of emotions.

13. 3 good mga engkanto put the entire kingdom to sleep:
Despite their best of efforts, they lose Aurora to the spell and the only way to make things work is to put the entire kingdom to sleep, waking only when she awakens. It makes me sad to see them blame themselves for this loss. It doesn't make me cry though, but yes, it puts me in a sad mood.

So I've been pagbaba that the "Prettiest Princess" ranking is sort of like a right of passage artikulo that all of the fans here on fanpop do so I figured it was time for my own. Instead of just doing a physical beauty ranking, I wanted to do an pangkalahatang beauty ranking instead. I personally see ranking women based only on their physical beauty as objectifying them so I am kind of confused that it's not looked at that way here on fanpop? (Not saying this to judge or condone others but just out of genuine curiosity and confusion considering the way some fans have reacted to perceived objectification...

Like I stated in my last wallpost I'm about to lose my grandmother and so I decided to write an artikulo about some of the Saddest Moments in the DP pelikula in no particular order (but I'll mention my number 1 in the end of the article). So anyway hope you'll like this article

Brave: The 2nd Sunrise
I may not be a big tagahanga of Brave, but this scene is sad, when I first saw this movie in the cinemas I cried during this scene and I still find this scene to be quite sad

Cinderella: The Dress Ripping Scene
This scene is so sad to watch everytime, Sinderella had the chance of finally getting out of the...

If any of you are familiar with character stylization or really art in general you might like this article. I'm talking about character stylization in the sense that when the artist is also the may-akda of the character's personality and has written out their every thought in simply the way they are designed. This can also be called "interpreted art" as anyone can perceive it differently, but a common factor still remains that everyone agrees on. BASICALLY I'm going to "guess" what the princess' personality is like based on the way she's drawn, see what the general consensus is on her personality...

2.Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora and Belle are currently the only Princesses to not be voiced sa pamamagitan ng the respective mga aktres from their original films.

3.Belle is the only Disney Princess to have hazel eyes.

This is an update to my original list.


My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music
Video: link

This song reminds me of the scene in the woods after she's been scared sa pamamagitan ng the dark shadowed shapes of the trees. When she asks the mga hayop what they would do and starts pag-awit With a Smile and a Song. Well this be an alternative song or whilst she' pag-awit she could be imagining her favourite things. I can also Snow White pag-awit this. It does require a positive sounding vocal so it makes sense.

Since this section has been very inactive lately I decided to fresh it up sa pamamagitan ng Pagsulat another article, about my paborito Disney Princesses, hope you'll like this artikulo :)

13. Merida

She's the only Disney Princess that I don't like at all, but I don't dislike her either, I feel neutral towards her. The main reason might sound weird, but it's mainly because I don't think she fits in the Disney Princess lineup, to be perfectly honest I would appreciate her character madami if she wasn't an official Disney Princess. Besides that there's nothing wrong about her character except her temper, she's...

Hello All! Due to my life interfering with my time these days, I took a hiatus from artikulo writing. I also took a hiatus, because KataraLover and Cruella stepped into the void, and took on the “these are horrible characters argument” in a set of ongoing video discussions that can be found on the video iugnay page of The Disney Princess Club. (My hat goes off to them, as they were dispelling the myths and stigmas surrounding certain unbeloved characters). Great work, guys!!!

I have been inspired sa pamamagitan ng seeing artikulo that defend Ariel on Fanpop so I thought I would write my own.

Ariel also gets a lot of flack and it drives me insane! People say Ariel is anti-feminist because she gives up her voice to be with Eric. She always wanted to be human. At the beginning of the film she was collecting artifacts of the human world. Do you think she was collecting artifacts because of Eric? The song Part of Your World, she wasn't even pag-awit about Eric. Her fascination with humans is what lead her to become interested in Eric. If it wasn't her fascination with humans, she wouldn't...

I have exams in a couple of weeks and I've been shirking my studies long enough but I thought I'd just put out an artikulo as a last hurrah. Basically this how the princesses would get along as a group. I once did tuktok 20 DP friendship pairs, you're encouraged to go paghahanap for it :) But no listahan format here, this a Quickie Article. No pictures and not really structured, like the one I did for what I dislike about each princess. This time however Merida, Anna and Elsa will be included.

Snow White
She'd be the ring leader of the group in my opinion. She possesses leadership qualities without being...
