List of Classic Princesses

Princess Ariel

Princesa ArielAriel is the protagonist of The Little Mermaid (1989), a story based on a well-known fairy tale by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen about a young mermaid willing to give up her life at sea for true love. As with Sleeping Beauty, the original story has a much darker tone. Ariel is the first Disney princess not to be born human, and she is also the first Disney Princess to have children (as seen in the sequel). Just like Aurora, Ariel is sixteen years old in the first film, and is presumably in her late thirties in the sequel. The title of Princess comes from her father, King Triton, and she also acquires the title of princess through her marriage to Prince Eric. She is considered the most beautiful female character of all Disney Princesses.

Princess Aurora

Princesa AuroraAurora is the titular protagonist of the film Sleeping Beauty (1959), based on the classic fairy tale involving a beautiful princess, a sleeping enchantment, and a handsome prince. However the original story is much darker than the Disney version. Aurora has the distinction of being both the princess with the least amount of screen time and the one who sings more than she talks. At 16, Aurora has the purest pedigree of any Disney Princess, being the first and only daughter of King Stefan to marry King Hubert’s firstborn son.

Belle is the first Disney princess to have been the antagonist of her love interest. She is also the first character to live in an official country (in this case France) in the film. At 17 years old, Belle is the second Disney Princess who does not carry the title of princess from birth, but acquires it after marrying Prince Adam.

Princess Snow White

Princesa BlancanievesSnow White, the title character of the 1937 Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, is a character based on a German fairy tale. Snow White has the honor of being the first princess in Disney’s first animated film, paving the way for all subsequent princesses. In the film, Snow White is a young, beautiful girl who lives with her vain and cruel stepmother, Queen Grimhilde. The stepmother fears that the princess will become more beautiful than she is and therefore decides to kill her. Snow White befriends the seven dwarfs during her stay in their cottage, but her true love is the prince, who is able to wake her from her eternal sleep with a kiss of true love. At 14, she is the youngest of the entire Disney Princess franchise.

Princess Cinderella

Princesa CenicientaCinderella (according to the film her real name, when in the official Disney tale this is a humiliating nickname given to her by her stepsisters) is the protagonist of the film Cinderella (1950), and Disney’s second princess. The story is based on a European fairy tale of the same name, of which there are several variations. The Disney version revolves around a young girl forced to work as a maid by her stepmother Mrs. Tremaine and stepsisters (Drizella and Anastasia). At 19, Cinderella is the first Disney princess to be married into royalty (she marries Prince Charming – whose name is never revealed). Cinderella is often considered the leader of the other princesses, or at least, their spokesperson, although it is unclear why.
