No, but they are the only ones where the responsibilty is important for the story. Ariël and Aurora had the responsibility to don't come in danger. Pocahontas had the responsibility to mary Kocaum. And if Elsa was a Disney princess she had to deal with her powers and hiding them, so nobody would she was a 'monster'.
Aurora is willing to marry a man she doesn't love to fulfill her duties as a princess for a kingdom and parents she has never known. Pocahontas also brought peace between her people and the settlers. Jasmine (at least in the TV series) works as a diplomat and arranges for programs to help the needy.
I wouldn't say so. First of all, half the line-up isnt a princess by birth so they cant deal with the responsibility of a princess. Snow is overpowered. Rapunzel doesnt even know.
And I think Poca dealt with it much more maturely. She considered marrying Kocoum, gave it a thought and how it would affect the tribe and herself. She also explained herself to her father when John was blamed for the murder. Aurora sort of gave into the expectation than really making a stand of sacrificing her happiness, i feel. That;s why i feel her to be very passive. Merida and Ariel reacted to the burden of being a princess realistically, i'd say, more than dealing with it. Moana actually dealt with it maturely and realistically both.
Pretty much. At least more than Elsa, that only deals with the glamorous aspect of royalty- balls, dresses, pretty crowns...Like it doesn't serve you to be crowned queen if you do nothing with the title.
Like the whole part of Elinor teaching Merida is what matters- being a princess/queen is much more than just "omg arranged marriages suck".
Sorry guys I meant more in the terms of ruling a people and being responsible for their well-being. I should have clarified.
As a response to everyone above, while a good amount have to deal with arranged marriages, I would Jasmine is incredibly unrealistic with how she is allowed to marry a commoner even after being repeatedly being warned that it could mean war if she did. Pocahontas deals with it a bit more realistically you're right.
@anukriti2409 Merida deals with it realistically in that she actually negotiates with the other kingdoms and is able to reach a solution diplomatically. If that isn't mature and realistic then I don't know what is.
Some of the princesses were the youngest in their families, not the eldest, and they had a bunch of siblings in front of them, so they were not going to be queens from that family lineage anyway. I would not say that this made them unrealistic. And some princesses married into the title. Kate Middleton is a living, realistic example. So Jasmine's case is not really so far-fetched. And just because Merida happens to be the oldest child in her family doesn't mean she handled everything diplomatically. From my perspective, Merida was the least diplomatically skilled princess out of all of the princesses. She skipped or daydreamed through most of her education, and then yelled at her audience to get their attention. Nah. Not skilled.
Each princess has their own weaknesses. But Merida and Moana are no more realistic than the others.
@Aang_Lite: Actually she was guided into that situation by her mother. She was just going to say yes. First she was all no (nothing wrong with that, but not diplomatic) and then she was just going to say yes. Elinor guides her into making that speech actually about arriving at solution.
Mature would have been to talk to her mother. Diplomatic would have been to not compete for your own hand and said none of them is worthy enough because none of them showed any potential in the game of her choice.
However she represents that the princesses are expected to be this image which is actually not all about dancing with princes and attending balls. She showed it is tough to be a princess when whole kingdom's expectations hangs on your head. She definitely represents her "position" as princess realistically not "dealing" with the role and responsibility of it. She makes the trajectory towards it, learns it over the course of her movie.

Also, do people really think Merida is mature?
