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.

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.

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.

Everything wrong with Холодное сердце (not explained in long paragraphs)

posted by naturallycurly

1 - Elsa is born with ice powers and we don't know how she got them

2 - If Anna was so worried about Elsa why was she wasting her time on Hans when she could be talking to her sister?

3 - Anna's main goal is to get her sister out of her room and when she does come out Anna doesn't give her еще than a минута of attention aside from asking the blessing of her to marry someone.

4 - Anna wants to marry a guy she hasn't even know for 20 minutes.

5 - Couldn't of Elsa just froze the peoples feet so they would stop chasing her?

6 - Anna can't see a huge ice замок that's ontop of a huge холм, хилл but she can...

The Most Timeless Film Countdown Results

posted by Jayden-G

This is the first countdown that I have successfully completed in months, and this was an interesting concept. Thanks to everyone who participated in the countdown. Some films will age forever (or for hundreds of years), while some will die out in a decade.

Timeless:1. unaffected или unchanged by time; ageless
2. eternal

11. Aladdin

This one was the obvious first choice, and to be honest, is the only film that is not timeless out of the bunch. This film was praised especially for the Поп-культура references coming from Genie but 20 years later, it is working to it's disadvantage. A lot of the...

11. Merida: Kelly Macdonald
I can't see many similarities between the two, but to be fair she was animated by Pixar and not Disney. They both seem like strong independent women though :). And I found a picture where they have similar hair!

12. Anna: Kristen Bell
I can see similarities in face shape. Also their eyes are both curvy. I have to admit that Kristen looks еще like the original concept to the actual one. I Believe it was changed possibly to the complaints of Фаны that she looked too much like Rapunzel.

13. Elsa: Idina Menzel
They both have the same cheekbones,...

Why I Любовь Tiana

posted by dclairmont

Fun fact: My Избранное dress of Tiana's is her оранжевый one!

Fun fact: My favorite dress of Tiana's is her orange one!

So, about three months назад I made an Статья talking about why I Любовь Aurora, and thought I should do an Статья for another underrated princess, Tiana. I also plan on doing an Статья for Snow, Punz, Poca, Mulan, and possibly some others.

While Tiana has gained a giant boost in popularity recently, in both looks and favorites, she is still very underrated. Tiana is probably one of the most unique princesses and definitely one of the most inspirational. I look up to Tiana, because unlike Mulan, I'm not going to be fighting in a war, and Tiana shows us a slice of reality. She's just a normal...

We're Talking Kings and Successions -- Chapter One

"I’d expect something better from a child of mine!"

Um, so this'll be my секунда ever fanfiction, it'll be mainly Tangled/Frozen/Brave with some other characters thrown in. Be sure not to expect anything to terribly good, I'm not really a good writer. But I write anyway because I like inflicting suffering in the form of making Ты guys read this drivel.

The Best Ending Countdown Results

posted by Jayden-G

So as the Название states, I recently started a countdown to see what Fanpop thinks is the Best DP Ending, and to be honest, I am shocked that some made it as far as it did and etc. For the countdown, I practically considered everything that happened right after the Villain's passing или defeat.

11. Рапунцель - Запутанная история Ending (Rapunzel reunites with parents, Corona have a варенье, джем in the kingdom)

Practically, the в общем и целом, общая consensus of this ending was that Flynn's dialogue of him getting drunk and them waiting YEARS AND MONTHS and such ruined it. They also thought that the flying cupid and such ruined the ending...

I like making playlists on my сделать ставку, ipod for all of my favourite characters from all kinds of media. Sometimes the songs don't fit the characters and are just there to capture the symbolism from objects, Животные или magic used in the film. I've made a playlist for a few of the Princesses and it's time I shared them with you.

dclairmont's Избранное Дисней Princess Norwegian Пение Voices

posted by dclairmont

I did my English Список yesterday and decided to do my Norwegian Список today :) The Norwegian voices are all very pretty in my opinion so it was very hard ranking them, I hope Ты enjoy c:

10. жасмин

Jasmine's voice is great, but it's a bit forgettable. I think it's a bit too girly for her character, and the high notes do sound a bit brittle at points, but other than that her voice is really good. I do prefer it to her English voice, which is saying a lot since she's number ten.

9. Rapunzel

Rapunzel's voice is very fitting for Rapunzel in my opinion. It sounds a bit childish, but also strong....

My least Избранное Дисней princess to Избранное

posted by BayleeVV

Hi! In this I’m going to be rating my personal least Избранное Дисней princesses (and a few extra) to favorite. Obviously this is my personal opinion, and your welcome to disagree with me.

18. Snow White (Snow White)

Where do i start? She’s annoying and an idiot (no offense to anyone who likes her). She literally is dreaming and Пение about getting married the first half of the movie. The girls 14! And then she goes and almost gets her self killed by taking Еда from a stranger and would be dead if not for her prince. Over all she’s plain, annoying, boring and idiotic.

Why Mother Gothel is a role model for other villains

posted by elsafan1010

" Punz, have Ты ever wondered why I don't cut your hair?"

" Punz, have you ever wondered why I don't cut your hair?"

Disney's "Tangled" was such a good movie that Рапунцель - Запутанная история had great characters. Of course, my Избранное was Rapunzel, but I also loved mother Gothel. It's weird that I don't like mother Gothel. Because I hated every bad guy except Audrey and Hades. Audrey and Hades had points that sounded similar and logical to me. For example, Audrey was stabbed in the back and Hades was wronged, and it was funny, so I loved them both.

I've watched Рапунцель - Запутанная история about seven times, and it's only the seventh time I've come to Любовь mother Gothel. After all, Gothel was separating Rapunzel from her family, using her, and raising...
