Top 10 Things You Didn't Know About Disney Princesses

Every Disney princess has a story. Did you know that Tinker Bell was originally a Disney Princess? That Ariel has red hair for a reason? That Pocahontas has many unique aspects? That several actresses inspired Belle? And that Merida was the first princess without a love interest?

So Mulan:
Dressed like a man and went to the war
Killed almost 4.000 souls
Saved China
AND got married while
SHE WAS 16? MY RESPECT

'Elsa was originally a villain', anyone who knows the original story of The Snow Queen would know that

[callmeblubber]

When your a huge Disney fan and just assumed all of this was common knowledge 😂😂😂

[biaclarissa]

Finally a video recognizing Merida's importance! Frozen stole all the glory (still trying to understand why, btw) but Merida was the first to deal with her problems without the help or aiming for a guy!

You also forgot these facts:
The only princesses with BOTH of their parents alive are: Aurora, Mulan, Merida, Rapunzel, and Moana. Most of the other princesses either have only one parent alive or both biological parents are dead, like with Snow White and Cinderella

Merida is the only Disney princess with an accent. Before her time, every Disney princess didn't have any sort of distinct accent until Brave hit theaters and audiences heard Merida's Scottish one.

The only Disney princesses that know how to use a weapon are Mulan (sword) and Merida (bow and arrow). Rapunzel doesn't really count since a frying pan is technically not a weapon.

Jasmine, Mulan (if you count the sequel movie), Pocahontas, and Rapunzel are the only princesses that married men not from any royalty. Anna doesn't count because she and Kristoff did not get married

The only princesses that don't come from any royalty are Cinderella, Mulan, Belle, and Tiana

Even though not technically a Disney princess or from any Disney princess film, Kida from the movie Atlantis is considered by many fans to be a princess due to her being the leader of Atlantis's daughter and her having many characteristics that Disney princesses are suppose to display like bravery, courage, and kindness

The only princesses that are shown to know how to ride a horse are Mulan, Belle, Rapunzel (as seen in the animated series), Merida, and Anna

I have never forgotten the moment Mulan killed all of those soldiers 😕😂

[rcj.queenie]

Pocahontas was also the only Disney princess to have a terrible real-life backstory changed for profit, being a sex slave at such a young age and being forced to move to England where she later died because she was unimmune to the disease. I wonder how many people don't know the real story behind Pocahontas. Also, John Smith was also ten years her senior when she was 14.

Another thing some people don't know is that Giselle (from Enchanted) was declared a Disney Princess but it was later decided that because her movie wasn't fully animated, she shouldn't be a Disney Princess anymore.

'Ariel has red hair for a reason'

Yeah I know


She is a Weasley! 😂

[lexisig]

I thought her hair was red because she it represents the Red Sea.
Triton has seven daughters, which in theory, represent the Seven Seas. I think thats another reason why Ariel has red hair.

Actual criteria to be a Disney princess:
Must meet one of the three requirements:
-Born Royal
-Marry Royal
-Perform an act of heroism

Must also meet ALL of the following requirements:
1) must be a primary role in a Disney movie
2) Cannot be introduced in a sequel
3) Must be human

Marketing and box office success do play a massive role (look up "5 Snubbed Disney Princesses" and other Disney Princess videos by the SuperCarlinBrothers for more info), but these requirements are the current blueprint for the line-up.

Who is your favorite Disney Princess? Mine is Belle

[liveyourlife]

Merida IS a disney princess! Pixar is owned by disney, so how can she not be a property of disney?

[Dizney]

I'm a simple person: I see Disney Princesses and I click

[KBAFourthtime]

Let me get this straight:

If Zeus, in Greek mythology, has a brother named Poseidon (respectively named Jupiter and Neptune in Roman mythology), and Poseidon has a son named Triton, and Triton had... was that eight or nine, daughters, that makes Hercules and Ariel second-cousins?

[fantasyfiction]

And here is a couple more:

Merida originally did have a love interest during pre-production. It was young macguffin.

Anna, Elsa, and Moana will not be joining the disney princess line up, they're expected to hold up their own franchise instead.

Merida is the only one to have brothers.

Ariel is the only princess with a child.

Cinderella is NOT a blond, in the original movie her hair has a red tint to it.

On that note Cinderella's ballgown isn't blue, it's silver.

[LukeDenielle]

Elena of Avalor will soon join the list of "forgotten princess"

[palomadevonnelee]

I got a lil confused when they said Mulan’s body count😂😂😂😂
