Is Disney setting up a shared universe?

Disney has hit a goldmine with their live action versions of Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Jungle book, and It's new retelling of Sleeping Beauty's baddie Maleficent, and with Beauty and the Beast coming out real soon, It's time to ponder on a question these live action Disney movies. Is Disney creating it's own shared universe among it's live action films similarly to what it created for the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Beauty and the Beast isn't the last live action revival we're going to be seeing soon. Next year, we're going to get Mulan, and Disney has already greenlit live action versions of Dumbo, Snow White, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio, Winnie The Pooh, Peter Pan & it's Tinkerbell spinoff, The Sword in the Stone, A Cruella De Vil origin story, and The Lion King, with James Earl Jones reprising his role as Mufasa. With so many live action Disney movies coming out, you can't help but wonder if they all exist in the same live action universe. But what does it all mean, though? Are these characters ever going to meet each other? Will we see Cinderella cameo in Beauty and the Beast. Geographically speaking, both stories do take place in France. And what about The Lion King? Are Baloo and Bagheera going to show up at Simba's birth? Wouldn't it be cool to see Maleficent hash it out with the live action Evil Queen to see who's the fiercest Fairy Tale mistress of darkness? I envision these characters will probably meet each other at some point in the future, but probably in a small scale. Think Rapunzel and Eugene at the beginning of Frozen. As much as we'd love to see live action Disney Princesses interacting with one another, the chances of one big Avengers-esque team up seems very unlikely. But since Disney has already created so many live action renditions of it's classic stories, they might as well have fun with it.

Best movies of 2015

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! Oh, 2015. You're definitely something special. at times you made us sad, then made us glad, and then shocked us again, and again, and again. Though you have your flaws, you did, however, share with us many wonderful stories in the form of movies. Now that we've gotten the radioactive waste of 2015 out of the way, let us take a look at the times this year when the sun shined the brightest. Here are my picks for the top 10 movies of 2015. Before I begin, let me get some things off my chest. No, I've not seen Ant Man, no, I've not seen Mad Max: Fury Road, and no, I have not seen Furious 7. So don't expect those movies on my list.

10. The Peanuts Movie

This movie is by no means a masterpiece. The movie is incredibly boring, but what makes it work is how genuine it is. They could've easily just pulled a Garfield or Smurfs on this one (Celebrity voices, Pop cultural references and humor that'll be dated in five years) but instead, the creators of the movie try their best to make this film as sincere as possible, so that twenty years from now, this movie will still be contemporary (sort of). The parts with Snoopy are always the funniest (his Red Baron fantasy sequences kill me every time they play) And they have actual kids playing the Peanuts, instead of casting celebrities like Kevin Hart or George Lopez. As timeless as it is, however, you can tell some of the humor is very dated. Kids today aren't gonna understand the humor intended for the older Peanuts fans, but it's still pretty solid as a movie.

8. Tomorrowland

This movie is the underrated gem of 2015. I don't know what it is about this movie, but I just can't help liking this movie. The story is about Casey, a young dreamer who wants to change the world. Later, she discovers a pin that shows her a Utopian-like civilization. being the dreamer she is, she stops at nothing to find this mysterious place. I feel like if this if this movie was placed in January, it would've made more money that it did, and therefore, would qualify for a sequel. Too bad that never happened. 

7. Unfriended

Less is more, and that couldn't be any more true for this movie, and boy, did it pay off. At first glance, this movie seems like the typical Ouija and The gallows crap, it's actually a very creative film. The whole movie takes place inside a girl's laptop, but the way they incorporate social media to forward the story is pretty damn creative.

6. The Revenant



If Leo doesn't win an Oscar with this, then we know he never will. In The Revenant (Based on true events), Leo brings his A-game as he plays Hugh Glass, an explorer hellbent on revenge against a former ally who killed his son and left him for dead in the wilderness. You know how Matt McConaughey won the Oscar last year for Dallas Buyers Club because he just fully committed to the role by transforming into the character mentally and physically? Leo does the same thing here, but in his own way.

5. Crimson Peak



This movie is beautiful beyond beautiful. Being a Guillermo Del Toro movie, of course it would be visually astonishing. This is your typical old fashioned ghost story. Young bride moves in with her husband only to discover that something is very, very off about the house. She does some snooping around to discover that the house is indeed haunted. It's typical, but the artistic choices they made for the movie are just mesmerizing. It's like Bram Stroker meets Fairy Tales, and speaking of Fairy Tale...

4. Cinderella



Disney's live action fairy tale remakes finally got it right with their newest film Cinderella, the reimagining of their beloved classic. The previous Disney remakes have all ranged from bad to mediocre. Cinderella, however, does something none of these remakes do. Stick to the original, and boy, does it pay off. There had to be some updates, of course, to make sure this film fits into our post-feminist world. Cinderella had to be more active and independent than her original version, They justify why the stepmother is the way she is, and they even explain why she is called Cinderella in a very clever way. Everything else is good too. The visuals, the costumes (Sandy Powell made them, obviously) the sets. It's not all CGI like the other live action Disney movies, they use real sets and locations. Now that Disney has proven their Live Action fairy tales can succeed critically, nothing won't stop them now.

3. Avengers: Age of Ultron



Boy howdy, did they up the ante with this film. The first Avengers movie was already a critically and commercially acclaimed film, so the bar was set pretty high for the sequel, but not only did it surpass the original, it also managed to set an even higher bar for Infinity Wars. All the avengers return, of course, and they also introduce new characters, such as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who I'm pretty sure were supposed to be in the X-Men. (And B.T.W, Elizabeth Olson is definitely the talented Olsen) But the real breakout star of the film is Ultron himself. He's Who knew robots were so charismatic. A Mystery Avenger shows up near the end of the film, but I don't really understand why. But all in all, this movie was fantastic.

2. Inside Out





Pixar finally got it's groove back with this movie. After Toy Story 3, they turned out some pretty mediocre films, Except for Cars 2, of course, which sucked. But as Disney Animation was turning out products better than their's, (Tangled, Wreck It Ralph, Frozen) they knew they had to up their game, and Inside Out was born, which is honestly one of the most original film to come out of Pixar in a long time. The story is simple. What does the inside of your head look like? Well, in Inside Out, we see the different emotions of an eleven year old girl named Riley struggling to work together as she moves to San Francisco. The emotions Joy and Sadness accidentally get sucked out of the control panel, and it's up to the other emotions (Fear, Disgust and Anger) to make sure Riley doesn't end up in danger. It's imaginative, heart felt and knows when it's appropriate for a sad scene, unlike that other Pixar film that came out this year.

1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens




2015 was a good year for Disney. They had just jumped off the heels of recent hits, such as Inside out, Avengers and Cinderella, (All of which are numbers 2,3, and 4 on this list) But this was the big one. Disney was given a huge responsibility when they announced that they were creating a seventh Star Wars movie. Fanboys everywhere gave a concerned glance when they found out the company responsible for Disney Princesses was adding to the Star Wars Saga. Disney had already proven itself worthy of creating action flicks, with the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and an entire storage of Marvel films, but this was something bigger. Star Wars practically created the Space Opera genre. The original trilogy was so good, that George Lucas, the creator of the Star Wars franchise himself, couldn't even give his own creation a decent follow up. The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith were all universally panned by critics and fans alike. Jar Jar Binks, anybody? Disney had a lot to prove.

I didn't really plan on seeing this movie, since I wasn't really a hardcore Star Wars fan, and the line for opening night was supposed to be long. However, I ended up seeing it, and ironically, on opening night, and my thoughts on it are this...Is it too late to join the Star Wars club? This is how you revive a popular franchise without botching it up, you hear me, Jurassic World? There are many things to like about this film, but the key element that really shine in this film is the presentation of the film itself. It somehow both a reboot and a sequel to the franchise. It's story elements heavily mirror A New Hope enough to be considered a reboot, but it still acknowledges the original, by setting the film thirty years after Return of the Jedi. I also liked the idea of there's another threat (The First Order) who wants to disturb peace in the galaxy once again, showing that nothing really ever ends happily ever after. Life goes on no matter what. The characters are also really fun. Kylo Ren is a great villain. Unlike Darth Maul, who was over hyped but rarely used in The Phantom Menace, Kylo Ren actually helps move the story forward. Rey was probably my favorite character in the whole film, and Finn was okay too. And just like the Cinderella movie, this film uses a lot of real filming locations rather than filming it on a green screen sound stage. They also use a lot of practical effects, rather than Jar-Jaring it up. I can't praise this movie enough.

Well, now that we've wrapped up 2015, let us all look forward to 2016 and the possibilities it may bring. Happy New Year, everybody!  

Top 10 characters of all time

What makes a good story? Great characters. Characters we're drawn to. Characters that we relate to, or characters we wish to be. Here are my top 10 favorite characters. Again, this is my opinion, so if you don't like what you see, go bitch to your mom or something.

10. SPEEDY/ROY HARPER

Speedy is so far my favorite superhero sidekick. He was raised by Navajo Indians, and became a master archer.  My favorite storylines involving speedy is the time he became a Heroin addict, and the time he lost his arm. Speedy for the most part is a tragic character, but he's got great friends to help him through it. And like most superheroes, he's unrealistically good looking.

9. GREEN LANTERN/HAL JORDAN

At one point in time, I was obsessed with Hal Jordan. For a brief moment, he was my favorite superhero, but then the movie came out, and I remembered Superman will always be my number one guy. But I will always have a soft spot for Green Lantern. Anyways, Hal Jordan is the second Green Lantern, and arguably the best. I know that Hal is kind of lame compared to the black John Stewart and the gay Allan Scott, but Hal Jordan is my favorite Green Lantern. Either him, or the talking squirrel.

8. CINDERELLA



I loves me a good Fairy Tale, and the best Fairy Tale ever is Cinderella, the story that has it's own version in every single country. Cinderella is many things. She's black, she's white. She's good, she's bad. She's light, she's dark. She's g rated movie, she's XXX movie. She's feminist, she's old fashioned. And how could she be so many things at once? Because there's so many versions of her story. You can make Cinderella whatever you want her to be. Don't like the time she leaves the ball? make it 3 AM. Don't like the rushed romance? Make her independent and not want to marry the prince. A great character is one you can make up.

7.  PHOEBE BUFFAY



Phoebe Buffay is my favorite character from Friends. Most people like Chandler or Rachel, but not me. I love me some Phoebe. She's a a character I don't see in most sitcoms these days. Hey, How I Met Your Mother. Where's your loony eccentric friend character? Don't have one? How about you, Big Bang Theory? No? Just a group of nerds and one hot girl? All, right. Your missing out, I guess. Anyways, Phoebe's backstory is this. When she was a little girl, her mom killed herself, and her stepdad went to prison, so Phoebe had to live in the streets, unlike her twin sister Ursula, who was probably put in a foster home. After a disappointing childhood and some tough teenaged years, Ursula found a road to Aroma therapy and became roommates with Monica, who's brother is Ross, who is in love with Rachel.  Across the street from them is Joey, who is roommates with Chandler, who will soon marry Monica. Yeah, it's all a big circle.  One interesting thing is Actress Lisa Kudrow was doing two sitcoms at the time. She was starring in Friends, and played a side character in Mad About You, two NBC shows that were next to each other on the time block. So, the show writers decided to make the two characters twin sisters. And that's how Phoebe and Ursula became twin sisters.  

6. HANNA MARIN



Filling out 6 spot is another ditzy blonde. Hanna Marin from ABC Family's only good show, Pretty Little Liars. Hanna is the funniest, and saddest character in the show and books. In her early teens, her mom and dad got a divorce, causing her to eat her feelings out. She gained several pounds, and her "friend" Alison Dilaurentis coined the nickname "Hefty Hanna" When the girls were young, Hanna was often the butt of Ali's every joke. But when Ali disappeared, she became friends with a girl Ali used to bully and became the school's popular girl. She lost some pounds and gained some confidence. What I like about Hanna is that she's the funny girl of the group. She's always the one who says the funny zingers and one liners.

5. SPYRO THE DRAGON



Do I like Skylanders? Yes. Do I like Spyro's "not main character" role in Skylanders? No. Do I hate Spyro's new messed up, disgusting, ugly design? It's debatable. Do I love Spyro and all of the Spyro games, even the bad ones? Hell yeah!!! Spyro is my favorite video game character ever. Period. If I had to save one video game franchise in an ocean full of overrated Pokemon games and stupid, violent M rated games, I'd choose Spyro the Dragon. We can all learn a lesson from Spyro. Spyro is a tiny dragon, yet manages to save an entire race of dragons. He's also got a really cool dragonfly sidekick called Sparx, who is the best video game sidekick ever. So hopefully someday, I will see a Spyro video game similar to the old one.

4. SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS



Spongebob is my childhood Idol. I grew up on Spongebob, and when I have kids, they will too. What I love about Spongebob is that no matter what, he's an Optimist. Even though he has a horrible job and a nasty next door neighbor, he looks at it like a blessing. I'd kill myself before I become a loser who permanently works at a restaurant, but Spongebob sees it as the best job ever. The best Spongebob episodes are always the ones that came out in the early 2000's. The new ones kinda suck, and seems like it was made for the brain dead generation of the 2010's. The main reason is that after the first Spongebob movie, The original crew left and was replaced by a new set of writers. Probably a bad idea. But no matter what,  Spongebob is cartoon royalty.

3. GODZILLA



Godzilla, like Spongebob was only good in the beginning. the movies that came afterwards range from bad to mediocre. But aside from that, Godzilla, King of the Monsters is one of my favorite classic monster movies, and Godzilla, is my favorite giant monster ever. What I love about him is that he's a cautionary tale of Nuclear destruction. Godzilla was once a deep sea cave dwelling dinosaur of a certain species, but concentrated levels of Nuclear radiation mutated him into a atomic ray breathing behemoth. Godzilla is also a tragic character. In the beginning, Godzilla is an animal deformed by a human creation, and in the ending, He's destroyed by another human made weapon. It shows how humans can really ruin the life of another species. Now that's deep.

2. RAPUNZEL



I have been in love with the Rapunzel Fairy Tale for a long time. I love it so much, I remember the time I first read it. Cinderella might be the best fairy tale, but Rapunzel is the one I hold dearest to my heart. And then when Disney made Tangled, I only loved her more. In Tangled, Rapunzel is spiced up a bit, turning her from a Damsel in distress into a quirky, rebellious teenager.  When Rapunzel was a baby, she was a princess. Her hair is golden blonde because of a magic flower her mother drank to heal herself. But the witch who was previously using it kidnaps her and places her in a high tower hidden inside a valley. As she gets older, she gets more rebellious and fascinated by the outside world, especially the mysterious floating lights that appear on her birthday every year.

1. SUPERMAN





So, I sleep in a bunk bed. I sleep in the bottom bunk, and the one who occupies the top bunk is a life sized Superman doll I got for Christmas. That's how much I love the Man of Steel, and I mean Superman. Not the movie. That movie sucked. Superman will always be my favorite. In an ocean full of Batmans and Avengers, The big fish I caught has an S-shield on it. I've watched every single Superman movie, watched Superman: The Animated Series, and bought Super Scribblenauts for Superman's sake. What I like about Superman is how he truly is alone. Now, anyone can be Batman or Spider-man, but Superman isn't someone you can be, he's someone you could only dream to be. And unlike Batman, who claims he works alone, when he has a dozen sidekicks, Superman truly is alone. Aside from Supergirl and Superdog, Kal-El is by himself. Another thing I like about Supes is that he doesn't wear a mask, so that people can see he's just one of them, instead of being shrouded by mystery, like all the superhero movies that came out in the early 2000's. Superman truly is my favorite superhero and character of all time.

Top 10 Cinderella Stories

What is it about a poor girl losing her shoe at a ball that's intrigued us for so many years? Cinderella is hands down the most popular fairy tale of all time. Sorry, super feminists. You can't change that. Like most fairy tales, I can't remember a time where I didn't know the story.  I have a theory that because we've read these fairy tales for so long, our children our just built with them in their brains before they're even born. Even the kids who didn't grow up with Disney knows the Cinderella fairy tale, and there are a lot of those stories. Almost every country has they're own version, and I'm here to rank the ten best Cinderella variations from books, movies, TV and others.


10. THE GLASS SLIPPER



The Glass Slipper is my least favorite version of the Cinderella Story. It's not bad or anything. It just didn't do anything for me. But one thing I did like about it is Leslie Caron's Cinderella. In this retelling, Cinderella is a very mucky looking servant girl living with her stepmother and two stepsisters who are known as the two most beautiful girls in the village, and it's bad enough that they treat her bad, but the entire village also looks down on her due to her filthy exterior. The only one who treats her nicely is the hermit woman who lives in the forest and the prince himself, making their romance much more believable.

9. YEH-SHEN: A CINDERELLA STORY FROM CHINA



Perhaps the first Cinderella Story EVER! Yeh-Shen tells the story of a girl who is a slave to her stepmother and Stepsister. Her only friend is a talking goldfish who lives in a nearby pond. Yeh-Shen's stepmother, being the cunt she is, catches the fish, kills him and gives Yeh-Shen the bones just for the sake of being an evil stepmother. Afterwards, it's revealed that the fish's bones are magic and give Yeh-Shen a beautiful dress and a pair of golden shoes to wear to a festival that her stepmother has forbidden her from going.

8. THE ROUGH FACED GIRL



This Cinderella Story comes from the Native Americans. A weak willed man has a wife and two stepdaughters who are cruel to his real daughter, like the original. The only difference is that where the original stepsisters make her sleep next to the fireplace, in this one, the stepsisters make her sleep on the fireplace, resulting in her rough skin.

7. INTO THE WOODS



Into the Woods is a musical consisting of the popular Grimm fairy tales. One of them is the Grimm's take on Perrault's classic Cinderella story. This Cinderella is a self aware maiden who's not completely sure she wants to be with the prince.

6. RAGS



Rags is like A Cinderella Story set in New York with a male lead. There's not much male Cinderella stories out there, but this one is a good one. Keke Palmer plays the gender swapped Prince charming to Max Schneider's Cinderella. And Drake Bell plays the Fairy Godmother character.

5. EVER AFTER: A CINDERELLA STORY



All right. Here we go. A Cinderella Story with a Feminist twist. When I first saw Ever After, I did not like it, mostly because I was a kid watching a Cinderella story with no magic, fairy godmother or Pumpkin coach. But now that I'm older, I really appreciate this movie. Instead of taking place in a kingdom far, far away. It takes place in renaissance era France. Drew Barrymore's Danielle still has the prince and the glass slippers, but this time, she is a strong, intelligent Cinderella. And instead of a Fairy Godmother, she has Leonardo Da Vinci.

4. A CINDERELLA STORY




Confession time. I Love A Cinderella Story. I really do. It's one of my favorite movies. I don't know what about it really attracts me, but if it's ever on TV, I will watch it. Hillary Duff is our Cinderella in this movie, and her Prince charming is the star football player. They meet on a chat room and are both attracted with each other because of their desires to go to Princeton.

3. RODGER'S + HAMMERSTEIN'S CINDERELLA




Rodger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella first began as a TV musical starring Julie Andrews. It was so popular that it spawned two other TV musicals. One starring Lesley Ann Warren in 1965, and one starring Brandi in Whitney Houston's critically acclaimed version in 1997. Finally, in 2013, this TV musical finally made it's home in Broadway, receiving a modern twist, but keeping all that Fairy Tale goodness in tact. In this version, Cinderella and the Prince are not the all perfect cardboard cut outs that they usually are. Cinderella is adventurous and funny, while the prince is kind of a dork who has a lot of girl problems. The Fairy Godmother actually makes sense in this one, in which she is disguised as a crazy beggar woman who has a long friendship with Ella, and only gives her the glass slippers because she was the only one who was generous to her.

2. WALT DISNEY'S CINDERELLA



Ah, the classic Cinderella! The one most of us are familiar with. This version is the one that cemented all those Cinderella tropes into the eye of the public. Blue ballgown, Glass slippers, ugly stepsisters, etc. It's also Disney's best classic fairy tale ever. Snow White and Sleeping Beauty? Pu-lease! Every girl fantasizes about going to a ball in a beautiful ballgown. Not cleaning up after midgets or talking a really long nap. This movie also introduced us to the scariest version of the Wicked Stepmother, named Lady Tremaine. In most versions, she's as cartoony as her daughters. But here, this woman is straight up evil.

1. CINDERELLA (2015)



Disney's recent live action remake of Cinderella is the best in my opinion, because it uses the previous versions of the Cinderella tale as inspiration and incorporates what was good in them into this movie, resulting in almost perfection. One other thing I really liked are the leads. Lily James' Cinderella doesn't know how to fight, but that doesn't make her weak. Her strength comes from within. And Richard Madden's too perfect Prince charming is a Frankenstein of all good qualities a man should have. Cinderella's dress might be blue, but Prince Kit's eyes are even bluer. The costumes and sets are so good it's ridiculous. Instead of CGI-ing it to death like what they did with Maleficent and Alice in Wonderland, the sets really makes you feel that you're in a fairy tale world, and If This movie doesn't win best costume and set design at the Oscars, I will flip every table in Illinois. 

After Moana: What's next for Disney?

So everyone's super exited for Moana, Disney's upcoming Hawaiian Fairy Tale Musical. It's been years since we had a non white Disney Princess, and fans are hyped for this new Polynesian Princess. So disney is finally thinking out of the box with their new feminist princesses (Tangled, Frozen,) and Multi cultural future (Moana). With all this progression, here are some pitch ideas for possible Disney movies.

12 Dancing Princesses

What's better than two Feminist friendly Disney Princesses? Twelve! Disney can tuen the highly sexist 12 Dancing Princesses fairy tale, and turn it into a movie about magic, dancing and female friendships. And, if they do make 12 Princesses, it would be a good opportunity to make a princess of a different shape. 

Swan Lake

Disney was gonna work on a Swan Lake inspired movie back in the 90's, but it was scrapped, and another movie, the Swan Princess, was made, and it was awful. But that doesn't mean Disney can't try again. It took them years to get Tangled into the big screen, and it was a huge success. If they decide to do another Swan Lake it could be to Russia what Frozen is to Norway. And it can also include the classic dances and music from the Ballet. 

Dyesebel

Dyesebel can be a good movie for Disney to make, if they want to continue on their Multi Cultural road. for those who don't know, Dyesebel is a popular Mermaid character in the Philippines. She has human parents, but she was born a mermaid. She later had to live in the sea and live with the Sirena, Filippino equivalent of a mermaid, and Syokoy, Filipino Mermen. Ariel is a very popular Disney Princes, partially because she's a mermaid, and kids love mermaids. SO think what another Mermaid character can do for the Disney Princess line up. Buckets upon buckets of money! that's what!

Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan, John Henry & Sally Anne Thunder Anne Whirlwind 

Disney has done all types of movies. Fairy Tale, Children's book, Chinese legends, Greek Mythology, but never Tall Tales. Sure, they made shorts about it, and they have Frontierland at Disneyland, but these characters have never had their own movie! How come,Disney?!

Yeh-Shen: A Cinderella Story from China

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Disney already has Cinderella, it doesn't need another one!" True. But the Cinderella story is one of the most famous stories ever. And to here another version of it from another point of view is very intriguing. 

The Princes and the Treasure

It's 2015, Most if not all people are cool with Gays. Why not make a Fairy Tale musical about gay princes. It can be that they have to save a princess, but they hate each other in the beginning, then they become friends, and by the end, they fall in love and end the movie with a magical Fairy Tale kiss. 

Top 10 Disney Princesses

Here are my top 10 Disney Princesses. I'm not going by the official Disney Princess Line up, I'm going by who I think is deserving of the title. I'm not only doing the cartoon ones either. Also, Elsa is not on this list! She is a Queen, not a princess/

10. Snow White.

Today, Snow White is seen as an anti-feminist character. All she wants is to get married and cook food. But when you really think of it, she is the mother figure of these dwarfs. she teaches them manners and sings to them, and Anyone who says being a Mother is easy, clearly has never been one.

9. Giselle

Giselle is Unique, because she is the only princess to be both cartoon and real. And she's also the first Princess to learn what a real relationship is supposed to be like. 

8. Vanellope Von Schweetz 

If you take Strawberry Shortcake and mix her with Mario Kart, then you will get Vanellope. What I love about Vanellope is that she had an option to become a Princess, but Instead gave it up to be president. 

7. Ariel 

Ariel is a Mermaid, and everyone loves Mermaids. I know I do. She also has a beautiful singing voice. But it's not the typical boring Siren's Melody. She has range, like a Broadway singer. She also has pretty red hair.

6.  Mulan

Mulan is Disney's first Asian princess. Her Father is going to be sent to war, so she disguises herself as a man and takes his place. She's also the first Princess to wield a weapon. 

5. Mia Thermopolis

Mia Thermopolis Is Anne Hathaway's breakout role. A San Francisco Uggy who finds out her Grandmother is a Queen, which makes her a Princess. After a makeover of her face and her personality, this Ugly Duckling manages to turn into a Swan. 

4. Anna 

I have to admit, Anna is a little on the slow side. She's not very smart, or graceful. So what's so likable about her? Her Optimism. She's always looking at the bright side of things. 

3. Tiana

Tiana is Disney's first Black Princess. Alot of famous black singers wanted to voice her, but it went to Broadway Actress Anika Noni Rose. She is committed and hard working. 

2. Cinderella

To be clear, no, I am not talking about the original Cinderella. I'm talking about the 2015 revamp. This Cinderella took what was good from the original, and added a modern twist to it. She doesn't meet the prince at the ball, she meets him in the forest, after she saves a stag from being hunted. 

Honorable Mention

Belle

1. Rapunzel

Fact: The Rapunzel story is my favorite fairy tale. Ever. And when I found out Disney was doing a Rapunzel movie, I almost fainted. And when I saw it it didn't disappoint. Rapunzel was naive, spunky, ambitious and compassionate. Not to mention her beautiful golden hair. She's the best.
