The Princes don't really save the Princesses

posted by manu962

This is my first Статья here and I hope Ты like it. I'm getting tired people calling Дисней (Especially Дисней Princess) sexist. So I decided to write an Статья about why I think the Princes don't really save the princesses.

Sorry for no pictures!

1.Snow White
The Prince in Snow White doesn't really do anything. He just sings a serenade and disappears till the end of the movie.
He didn't fight the Evil Queen. He didn't really do anything.
Snow White should thank the dwarfs for saving her life not the Prince. If the dwarfs buried her, the Prince would never find her and Kiss her.
So all he did was just Поиск for her and Kiss her. I bet that if Snow White wasn't hiding from her Stepmother she would Поиск for the Prince too.
And I bet that the Prince didn't Поиск for her himself. He has many servants who can do that.
And Поцелуи someone is not that hard. He didn't even know he saved her till she woke up.

2.Cinderella
The Godmother gave her the dress and sent her not the ball, not the Prince. She saved her. All the Prince did was decide to marry her. And that was thanks to Cinderella's charm. He just waited for the "perfect" girl to show.
He is one lazy prince. :P
Credits go to the mice,birds and other Животные too. They helped Cindy a lot.

3.Aurora
We all know that the The Three Good Феи are real the protagonists. They raised her, they protected her and Merryweather cast a spell on her so she wouldn't die.
Phillip didn't really do anything. If the Феи wouldn't come to rescue him, he would be Maleficent's prisoner forever. All he did was with the help of The Fairies. He didn't even kill Maleficent himself.

4.Ariel
Well, Eric killed Ursula in the end but I bet that was because they wanted him to be a еще interesting character.
Ariel didn't do much heroism either. But it's worth mentioning that she tried to fight Ursula and she saved Eric first.

5.Belle
Beast did save Belle from the Волки but that was only because he was a beast. If he was a human both of them would be ripped to pieces.
He had such a good сердце that he couldn't kill Gaston.

Saved by
The Prince: 2/5 Sidekicks: 2/5 Herself: 2/5

6.Jasmine
Аладдин did rescue her from the hourglass and showed her A Whole New World and he defeated Jafar (not by killing him), but I bet that if жасмин was the protagonist she could defeat Jafar too. She is quite smart too (even smarter than Aladdin).

Saved by
The Prince: 4/5 Sidekicks: 1/5 или 0/5 Herself: 1/5

7.Pocahontas
John Smith saved her father but not her.

She needed no saving at all but Grandmother Willow did help her a lot.

8.Mulan
No words to say.

9.Tiana
Tiana defeated the villain. Naveen helped her with the restaurant but that was after Tiana changed him and his parents gave him the money. Not much of a rescuing.

Saved by
The Prince: 2/5 Sidekicks: 3/5 Herself:3/5 или 4/5

10.Rapunzel
Flynn helped Rapunzel with her dream but that was because he wanted that crown.
In the end he escaped from the prison with her help of the Pub Thugs. He sacrificed himself for Rapunzel, but he wouldn't have to chance to do that if Rapunzel wouldn't sacrifice herself for him first. (Cutting Rapunzel's hair first, wasn't really the smartest thing to do. He could let Rapunzel heal him and then cut her hair.)
Rapunzel heals him in the end and they are each-others new dream. Tadaaaa!
So this is a perfect relationship. They totally deserve each-other.

Saved by
The Prince: 4/5 Sidekicks: 2/5 Herself: 4/5

11.Merida
She has not Любовь interest. Her mother saves her a few times but there's nothing wrong with that. She saves her too.

12. Anna
Kristoff just accompanies Anna because he knows the way. Nothing else. Oh, wait her does send her to the trolls. He also sent her back to Hans, but that didn't quite help much. Olaf helped them more.

Saved by
The Prince: 1/5 Sidekicks: 4/5 Herself: 5/5

So, in conclusion, the Princesses are saved by theirselves или their sidekicks and not really by the Princes. Except for Jasmine, who is totally saved by the Prince. And the only one to never even try to save herself if Aurora
Remember, this is only my opinion. If any of Ты disagree, I would be happy to hear your opinions.

If someone wrote an Статья like this before then I'm sorry!

And I'm curious if anyone's Избранное Список has changed Чтение this Статья because my Список has really changed after Письмо it.

RoseOfRapunzel, MalloMar and 7 others like this

TigerRanma I agree with some of it. I like that under Mulan, it says "No words to say". Under Jasmine, you say that she'd save herself or save Aladdin if she was the protagonist and only point out that Aladdin saves her. I guess if we're talking "what if's" but since Jasmine isn't the protagonist, she doesn't. Pretty much Aladdin saves her, starting with saving her at the marketplace from getting her arm chopped off. Funny that Anna is considered an idiot for being isolated in her castle for many years, yet she's more aware than Jasmine about paying for stuff.

Silverrose1991 Nice article! Personally, I don't find a problem with all the princesses needing help sometimes: it makes them human, not weak. The only thing I disagree is that I think the Prince did search for Snow White himself. He's a romantic, sweet guy who would want to be the first to meet his loved one again.

KotokoAihara Interesting article. I think you are right expect for Ariel, Jasmine, and Rapunzel which you did mention that the princes did a lot, but I think they probably shouldn't be on the list. I believe John Smith saved Pocahontas with John Rolfe in the sequel and in saving her father he does save her from suffering a great loss.

manu962 @TigerRanma Yeah, I know Jasmine needed a lot of saving . I really hate what Disney did to her. You can totally see that she isn't the "damsel in distress" type of princess yet Aladdin had to save her every time. The fact that she is a deuteragonist isn't an excuse that she needs to be saved. I loved her before because I thought she was strong and independent, but I'm afraid now she will be dropping in the end of my list. @Silverrose1991 Thanks! I don´t have a problem with the Princesses needing help, every normal person needs help sometimes. You may be right- Maybe he searched for Snow White himself. I was just assuming that he probably didn't have time since he is a prince and has royal duties. "KotokoAihra About what don't you agree about Ariel, Jasmine and Rapunzel? Oh, I forgot about the sequels (That´s kinda disappointing). And you´re right, John Smith did save her too when saving her father, but she didn't need anyone to really save her.

CRaZy_rawR I mainly agree when it comes to the Classics. 👏 I hate when people say they are only damsels in distress! It's not like Snow intended on her being poisoned, knowing the prince will save her. Great job! Well written and you gave your points clearly. :3

TheFabulousFAN I agreed for the first half, but you must admit the Princes do save them in some way. There is nothing wrong with that soooo :/ and the fairies DID NOTHING!!! They made Aurora situation worse I've written an article about it too. The princes save them ....who cares? I don't see a problem so why make the article ....idk I guess not all of the princes save the princesses though.

KotokoAihara I just think would have been better if their was a rating system or something because those three are your typical damsel in distress because they have done some saving themselves. I agree with what you said though. They just aren't complete damsels in distress.

manu962 @TheFabulousFAN Well, I don't really agree when you said the Fairies did nothing. As I said in the article, they rescued the Phillip from Maleficent so he could kiss Aurora and wake her up. How do you think the Prince would get out of the prison himself? And where would he get the sword to kill Maleficent? Wouldn't he die in the "creepy forest" full of thorns or whatever it is that Maleficent made in front of the palace? And actually I think it is a bit wrong needing to be saved by the Prince all the time. @KotokaAihra I don't really think Ariel and Rapunzel are typical damsels in distress. Jasmine maybe a bit but still isn't the typical damsel in distress either. If there is a typical damsel in distress in Disney Princess that would be Aurora, in my opinion. And it's a great idea to rate them. I'll do that.

MadameLee Well how do you except either Snow White or Sleeping Beauty to 'save themselves'? Its not like either of them intend to fall asleep. I mean for the latter one-it's known for a fact the harder you try to prevent something happening the more likely it is to actually happen. The real Greek myths can show you more.

pretty_angel92 wow, this is actually very true great article

June Princess Фан of the Month: AllegroGiocoso!

As the tradition goes, the winner from the Назад месяц gets the interview the new winner! I sat down with our newest Фан of the Month, AllegroGiocoso, and asked her a few questions!

1. Who is your Избранное Princess and why?

My Избранное princess has always been Snow White. I Любовь her for a variety of reasons, including her adorableness, her sweetness, her perkiness, and her optimism. Every time she smiles, it’s so cute! I also Любовь her voice (I think it fits her perfectly as a character), her primary color dress (One reason why I loved her so much when I was little), and her looks (A look...

New Teaser for Disney's Рапунцель - Запутанная история

posted by vertika

[article from link]

Rapunzel lets down her hair in this teaser for the new Дисней film Tangled, but she's not the only one. Remember how in March Дисней changed the Название of the movie Rapunzel to Tangled? As Erik Davis wrote, it was to attract еще boys to the film than, say, The Princess and the Frog, which has made a mere $267M worldwide at the time of this Письмо and has the nasty word "princess" in the title.

Well, this teaser definitely ups the ante when it comes to ditching Rapunzel's long-haired legacy. Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi) is Rapunzel's accidental savior -- this smooth operator...

    “Do Ты four need help?” the fairy godmother asked with a sorrow expression.
    “Yes, we do,” Золушка told her. “Lucifer and Lilith guard the door, and with us tied up, we probably won’t get out.”
    “Hmm…maybe we need to get them out with some help…” the Феи whispered and then giggled.
    Belle whispered, “But how?”

Ты voted and Ты got it! Here's my take on what the Фильмы would be like if жасмин and Pocahontas switched places. I'm not sure if I'll continue, so Комментарий on what Ты like или don't like.

Switch #1: Pocahontas and Jasmine

Let us immerse ourselves in a world where trees can talk, carpets can fly, and genies dance and sing. It is in this world that we find two princesses very different from each other, separated by time and distance. This world is about to face a drastic change, although nobody knows it. Because those two princesses are about to switch lives, switch stories, and they won’t...

ME IN Главная ECONOMICS -based on a true story (proof Дисней helps Ты in life)

posted by TheFabulousFAN

I wrote this because I was feeling Болталка and strange. Plus my Друзья were like "We are geniuses, post this online." So I was like "this is pointless...but ok." So here is my pointless little blurb of weirdness.

Teacher/Mr.Moore: Ok class lets get down to business. I know Ты had a fun snow break but it's time to focus. today we will be baking muffins, we will follow the basic recipe but feel free to elaborate and make the оладья, кекс, маффин flavor of your choice. Come back to my class after school to finish the оладья, кекс, маффин project and be graded. Failure to complete this assignment will receive an F test grade....

POTM Hairstyles Countdown: ~*Pocahontas*~ (May 2013)

posted by BelleAnastasia

Since I am trying to make the Princess Of The месяц еще popular, this is another one of my ideas. In the end of each месяц I'll post articles, based on the countdowns for songs, hairstyles and outfits. There everybody will have the chance to discuss whether they agree with the results, what corresponded to their expectations, and what they wish would have been different!

I was recently informed that the problem with the pictures in the Статьи is gone, and now the pictures can be put inside the text. However, I'm going to continue using mainly pictures for my articles, because first of all, that's what I've been doing for the rest of the Статьи from these series, and second, I like this way of doing articles! So maybe at some point I will switch back to the explanatory and sophisticated words articles, but for the time being I will stick to my picture articles!

Here are the results of the POTM Hairstyles Countdown: ~*Pocahontas*~ (May 2013)! Enjoy and share your opinion!

"This is terrible but funny. :)" - Siren-Lamia

"the most deformed" - Popcornfan

"Silly hairstyle." - miltonGANZ

"pretty funny XD" - tiffany88

"Terrible." - BraBrief

"Ugly" - LightningRed

"I also like Pocahontas with the helmet" - rhythmicmagic

"I like the ball updo, it's regal and elegant" - rhythmicmagic

I looked at my little brother's crying face, I couldn't help but to ask,

"Noah, what happened?" I said. I rolled my eyes playfully. "Let me guess, mom went into labor?"
My brother nodded his head and hugged tightly around the neck.

"Uh-huh!" he said, nodding.

"Well, what are Ты crying about? She'll be fine!" I said.

"Really?" he asked. I grabbed the grip around my neck he had and nodded.

"Yes, really, Noah." I said, nodding. Then I went...

My Избранное hairstyle of each DP

It's been a while since I wrote an Статья and I felt bored so I decided to write an Статья about my Избранное hairstyle of each DP, so hope you'll enjoy Чтение this article!

Snow White: With red bow

As I mentioned in my Избранное DP hair Статья I'm a big Фан of the red bow and I still am. I do like her blue bow too, but red is my Избранное color and it Форс-мажоры her better. I have the same hairstyle so I Любовь wearing bows (even though I only have one).

Cinderella: Low ponytail

This is the only really good hairstyle that Золушка has, the style is a bit weird, but it looks pretty on her,...

Defending the Princesses

posted by MegaraRider

I don't know if I'm alone on this, but I've become quite tired of everyone bashing the earlier princesses and saying they're bad role Модели for girls. Personally, I think parents shouldn't be relying on fictional, animated characters to be the role models... but that's a whole different issue altogether. In this Статья I want to address the common complaints towards the princesses: waiting around for/needing a man, not being independent, etc...

Snow White:

I want to start with a reminder that Snow White is only 14-years-old. Face it, her story is no different than any other 14-year-old...

Congratulations for being January's Фан of the месяц hajirah4! I noticed Ты like to voice your opinions so I'm going to ask why in every Вопрос haha.

1) How does it feel to be Фан of the month?
It feels great. Even though i'm thankful, i'm quite surprised. A lot of the times i'd vote for the ones who I thought deserved it, and i'm surprised (but thankful) for people to choose somebody like me :)

2) Who is your favourite princess and why?
Ariel. When I was little I loved mermaids, and I always thought for the character (when I would read the book) to be very calm and peaceful, but when I saw...

Ariel is not Selfish part 2, and an Apology to a beloved Mermaid

posted by Persephone713

Those of Ты using the word selfish still do not see that Ты are using this word the wrong way, and frankly seem like fake Ariel fans. Cause no Ariel Фан would call her such a hateful, negative word. The definition of selfish is : "devoted to caring for oneself and ones interests only, greedy. Regardless of others". the words that can be used in place of of Selfish are : narcissistic, greedy, hoggish, mean, narrow-minded, out for number one, narcissistic, prejudiced, wrapped in oneself. This definition and these words do not describe Ariel at all in any way. They describe Ursula, and the other...
