Favorite classic Disney Princess?

Mine is Ariel, followed by Jasmine and Aurora. Special shout-out to Anastasia (who is now a Disney princess).

Can't stand any of the new princesses. Disney seems to think you can't be an empowered woman if you're beautiful. You have to look plain or at best cute with big bug eyes to be a feminist icon now. I miss the days when princesses were actually the most beautiful in the land and beauty wasn't vilified.

Cinderella puts all those poser, bitches to rest. Isn't she the only one that is an actual princess. Classic down trodden, ragamuffin to royalty story.

Cinderella was popular with gaylings in shitty family situations who hoped someone would rescue them.

OMG, they have Disney princess costumes for men now. What can't you find on Ebay?

R2 Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, and Jasmine were all born princesses. Pocahontas was the daughter of a chief. She wouldn't be considered a princess by her own culture's standards but she was considered a princess by the Europeans historically and the legend of her today is that she's a Native American princess.

Cinderella and Belle were not born princesses (although in the original fairy tale, it turns out that Belle was the daughter of a human king and fairy) but they still came from well-off families that eventually lose their money. They become princesses by marrying princes.

The only prince who was not really a prince from birth but by marriage is Jasmine's prince, Aladdin. The rest of the princesses were all married to princes by birth.

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens actually played Prince Phillip and Princess Aurora in a Disney Dreams portrait by Annie Leibovitz.

Aurora! I think “Sleeping Beauty” is such a beautiful movie and I always thought Aurora was so sophisticated. She was downright beautiful, nothing cute like Snow White or even Cinderella, they just made her flat out gorgeous lol.

I've always been interested in the real life celebrities who inspired the looks of the Disney Princesses.

Janet Gaynor (first female Oscar winner and star of the first A Star is Born) was the inspiration for Snow White. The recent Hedy Lamarr documentary claims that Hedy was also the inspiration for Snow White's look. And of course, DL icon Joan Crawford was the inspiration for the Queen.

Aurora was inspired by Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.

Ariel was inspired by Alyssa Milano's look and her hair specifically came from Sally Ride, the first American woman to go to space.

Belle was inspired by Katharine Hepburn's Jo March from Little Women and also again Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday. Concept art of Belle shows her with a more European look directly inspired by Audrey.

Jasmine was inspired by Jennifer Connelly's look but Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday was another inspiration (again). Michael J. Fox was the original inspiration for Aladdin until it was decided he would have no sex appeal for Jasmine so they used Tom Cruise instead and aged up Aladdin.

Pocahontas was inspired by all the 90s supermodels of the time, including Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. But her final look is also heavily inspired by her voice actress, Irene Bedard.

Anastasia was inspired by Audrey Hepburn, although not the Roman Holiday Audrey but the My Fair Lady Audrey. That means Audrey ended up being responsible for four animated princesses in total: Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, and Anastasia.

R17 so Snow White or Cinderella? Although in the original story, the Queen is Snow White's biological mother and not her stepmother. Most of the classic fairy tales like Snow White and Hansel and Gretel were sanitized so the murderous moms became stepmoms instead.

Cinderella and Belle were peasants who married into the title of princess. Those gold-digging whores. At least Cindy's prince was the most charming, unlike that feral savage for whom Belle developed Stockholm Syndrome.

Snow, Narcolepsia, Jasmine, Ariel, and technically Polky were all highborns and true princess at birth.

R19 Cinderella was not a peasant. The opening of the film even gets out of the way to tell us that her father was a gentleman. A peasant would not live in the chateau we see throughout the movie. The reason Lady Tremaine (the stepmother) marries her father is because he was clearly well-off, whereas she has the noble title but without any money. The 2015 live-action remake also tells us that Lady Tremaine's first husband's death left her and her daughters penniless, hence why she marries Cinderella's father.

Belle is a peasant but the lyrics of the opening song "Belle" tell us that she her life has been the same in the village since the morning she and her father moved there. In the original fairy tale, Belle's father is a wealthy merchant but he loses all his money. This is what causes Belle and her family to leave their big house and move elsewhere where they live as peasants so the implication seems to be that the same occurred in the Disney movie, with Belle and her father moving to the village and Belle remembering a life before. That also explains why she doesn't have anything in common with the villagers and looks down on them for not being educated.

I thought that Tia Carrere was an inspiration, too. She was quite popular in the early to mid 1990s after the successes of TRUE LIES and the WAYNE'S WORLD movies.

TANGLED came long afterward, but in that movie Rapunzel is born royalty. Of course, this goes against the original fairy tale in which her parents are just regular folks who get wrapped up in a vengeful witch's schemes.

Sleeping Beauty: Second only to Dumbo (1941) (who didn't speak at all), this Disney title character has only about 18 lines of actual dialogue throughout the entire film, in which she only appears in the film for 18 minutes and which is actually about the three fairies who protect her, not about Sleeping Beauty herself. Briar Rose/Aurora's first line is spoken 19 minutes into the film and her last is delivered after she learns of her betrothal 39 minutes in. However, she does sing two songs during this time frame. The very last sound she makes in the movie is when she arrives at the castle and is crying about never seeing her true love again.

R24 as my grandmother once told a Jewish classmate of mine, who was over to work on a project and confessed that he had never celebrated Christmas: "No child should be without Christmas." 😂

by Anonymousreply 26May 20, 2022 11:26 AM

R24 It's never too late to start, especially if you have Disney+. Pretty much all the movies listed are classics and a huge part of pop culture. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is still the #10 highest grossing movie of all time if you account for inflation. To this day, Snow White, The Wizard of Oz, and Gone with the Wind are considered the golden trio of 1930s classics.

R23 They also swapped the prince from the fairy tale. Instead of being a prince, he ends up a thief. It was a blatant attempt to try and recapture the magic of Aladdin with a princess locked away from the rest of the world and seeing it for the first time with a worldly-wise thief.

There are elements of Anastasia as well with a lost princess rediscovering her identity with a con man who originally is only using her before falling in love with her.

by Anonymousreply 28May 20, 2022 8:09 PM

R22 It's possible, although I've never seen or heard anything to indicate she was an inspiration for Pocahontas. She did voice Nani, the older sister of Lilo, in Lilo & Stitch though.

Snow White. But who cares about the princesses when we SHOULD be voting on villainesses?

MALEFICENT or THE EVIL QUEEN

by Anonymousreply 30May 20, 2022 8:12 PM

The Evil Queen because Joan Crawford was her visual inspiration. She's not the only star to inspire a Disney villainess though.

Tallulah Bankhead was the inspiration for Cruella De Vil.

Geraldine Page was the voice for Madame Medusa.

Drag queen Divine was the inspiration for Ursula.
