Disney Princesses have become the role models of little girls since the release of the first Disney Princess, Snow White, in the eponymous 1937 film. Since the release of Snow White, there have been 11 additions to the Princess line-up, including Merida from Disney-Pixar’s Brave.

Over the years, Disney Princess films have evolved from the adaptation of classic fairytales like The Little Mermaid to the depiction of Polynesian island life in Moana. Disney Princesses have also become more independent as time progresses, especially in cases like Mulan and Brave. While Disney has inspired young women for many years, some films rank better than others, according to IMDb.

10 The Princess And The Frog Was A Little Disappointing – 7.1

The 2009 Disney film, The Princess and the Frog is based on the novel, The Frog Princess by E.D. Baker and the German Brothers Grimm folk tale, The Frog Prince. The film is set in 1920s New Orleans and details the life of Tiana, who is a 19-year-old waitress who aspires to open her own restaurant one day.

Tiana later transforms into a frog after kissing another frog, who is actually Prince Naveen. Consequently, she must find a way to transform into a human again. The Princess and the Frog is praised for its traditional animation style but lacked a story and underwhelming characters.

9 Sleeping Beauty Has A Much Darker Original Story – 7.2

Sleeping Beauty is the classic 1959 Disney film based on the eponymous fairy tale by Charles Perrault. The original story is much darker than the Disney adaptation. The film begins with the birth of Princess Aurora, whom the three fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, give different gifts like beauty and song.

However, Merryweather’s gift of eternal happiness is interrupted by the arrival of the sinister Maleficent, who curses Aurora by declaring that she will prick her finger and die at 16 years old. Maleficent eventually got her own successful spin-off films starring Angelina Jolie.

8 Cinderella Has Been Adapted Hundreds Of Times – 7.3

The story of Cinderella has been adapted in hundreds of ways. However, the oldest known record is the ancient Greek tale of Rhodopis. The most famous adaptation must be Disney’s 1950 film based on the fairy tale by Charles Perrault. Walt Disney Productions had been struggling financially during the 1940s due to the outbreak of World War II. However, Cinderella quickly became its most successful film since the 1937 release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The original film received two sequels: one in 2002 and one in 2007.

7 Moana Is Praised For Its Polynesian Representation – 7.6

Moana was a highly anticipated film for its representation of Polynesian culture and original songs composed by Lin Manuel Miranda. It also features Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a voice-acting and singing role as a shape-shifting demigod named Maui. The film focuses on Moana, who is the independent daughter of a village chief. She sets off on a journey to encounter Maui and return an ancient relic to a goddess named Te Fiti. In doing so, she saves her village from imminent disaster by the darkness of Te Kā.

6 Mulan Has One Of The Catchiest Soundtracks – 7.6

Mulan features one of the catchiest soundtracks in Disney Princess film history. This 1998 Disney film is based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, who disguises herself as a man to fight in the military. Mulan is another strong-willed Disney Princess who proves she doesn’t need a man to rescue her.

The success of the original Mulan film led to the release of the 2004 sequel and a 2020 live-action remake. Although, nothing can compare to the nostalgia viewers get when humming along to “I’ll Make a Man Out of You.”

5 The Little Mermaid Features First Non-Human Disney Princess – 7.6

The Little Mermaid is a 1989 film based on the 19th-century Danish fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. The film begins with the introduction of the youngest daughter of King Triton and Queen Athena, who is a mermaid named Ariel who lives in the underwater kingdom of Atlantica.

Ariel is the first non-human Disney Princess who eventually falls in love with a human named Eric. The Little Mermaid received mixed reviews for Ariel’s personality traits, but “Under the Sea” is arguably an unforgettable bop. Disney plans to release a live-action version in 2023.

4 Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs Begins The Disney Princess Fame – 7.6

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs made animated film history by being the first feature-length film by Disney. The film was first released in 1937 and is based on the early 19th-century German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. The film introduces the seven personalities of seven dwarves and many adaptations.

As stated by Roger Ebert in a review, “Snow White demonstrated how animation could release a movie from its trap of space and time; how gravity, dimension, physical limitations and the rules of the movement itself could be transcended by the imaginations of the animators.”

3 Tangled Has A Hefty Production Cost – 7.7

Tangled is the successful 2010 Disney adaptation of the German Brothers Grimm fairy tale titled Rapunzel. The production of Tangled took around six years to complete, making it one of the priciest animated films to make to date. The film follows the life of Rapunzel, who the evil Mother Gothel kidnaps and traps in a tower due to her hair’s magical healing properties. The success of the original film led to a short film and a television series titled Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure. And let’s face it, who didn’t have a crush on Flynn Rider?

2 Aladdin’s Success Led To Two Sequels – 8.0

Aladdin is a 1992 Disney film based on the Arabic folk tale One Thousand and One Nights. The film follows the life of Aladdin – a young man living in poverty who encounters a Genie (famously voiced by Robin Williams). Aladdin meets Princess Jasmine and hopes to impress her with the riches he’s granted through magic wishes.

Disney’s Aladdin gains notoriety for its Grammy win for Song of the Year, which is the only Disney feature to do so. The success of the original film led to two sequels and a 2019 live-action remake.

1 Beauty And The Beast Is A Tale As Old As Time – 8.0

According to IMDb, the best Disney Princess film is Beauty and the Beast. The 1992 Disney film is based on the 18th-century fairy tale by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont and a 1946 film of the same title. Beauty and the Beast depicts the life of a bookworm named Belle, who ends up at a castle whilst searching for her lost father. Belle meets countless talking household items and Beast, who is a human prince put under a spell to look like a vicious creature. It was the first Disney film to be adapted into a Broadway musical, and it also received a live-action remake starring Emma Watson in 2017.
