Merida is really really awesome!

I think people are too hard on hand-drawn films. They expect it to either be flawless like Beauty and the Beast or The Lion King, or they dismiss it as terrible/worthless.

By contrast, the same flaws they condemn in 2D films they'll excuse in CGI films. As long as a 3D film is better than the worst DreamWorks film, people will judge it by its merits rather than negatively comparing it to flawless classics.

I adore The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning. It's one of the movies that started my (very late in life) Disney love, so I have a soft spot for it.

Mulan is kind of boring (both movie and character). I still prefer a good fairytale over it any day.

Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pocahontas, The Princess and the Frog, and Brave are my five favorite DP films! (I swear, my five favorites seem to be the movies that get the most hate!)

The humor in frozen is forced. I felt like there were times it would be 'THIS IS FUNNY! YOU HAVE TO LAUGHT NOW!' Like that one time when Olaph randomly said "I have no bones" (or was it skin) when Anna and Kristoff were taking. I was like 'ok? An I suppose to laugh now? Is this funny?"

I don't like Jasmine. I can't really relate to her and Aladdin isn't that good of a movie

I really liked this concept of Anna, and it makes me wish Frozen was a 2d animated film sometimes

The only things that I really love just about everything, are movies, princes and villains. I really have a hard time loving all the princesses (To much drama)

Cinderella's pink dress looks pretty ripped. She rocks the one shoulder look. I feel bad because that scene almost makes me cry.

I prefer French 1959 Aurora over French 1981.

Ariel is not that pretty and very unrealistic (not being biased I swear)
Pocahontas's voice is very underrated
If the CGI movies (except Tangled) were never made there would be peace in this club/world
Mulan is not so much intelligent as she is a quick thinker and brave
Rapunzel is the most developed princess and Tiana too

Cinderella has the best hair of all the Disney Princesses. I know nobody is going to agree with me since it's considered quite dull and plastic, but I think it's lovely and so soft-looking.

Anna's failing, Aurora's passiveness, Snow's naivety and more flaws like that make me love the character MORE, not less

I think Queen Ellinor (Merida's mom) was Merida's Prince Charming. You don't have to be a male to be someone's knight in shining armory.

Not related to Disney but... I'm not a huge fan of the tough girl trope. It's getting overused, usually these type of characters are overbearing, it's very demanding and sexist (yes, you hear me, sexist) and paints the more feminine women in a negative light.

Of course, these are characters that use this stereotype and I enjoy greatly, like Merida. Others I don't care much for, like Katniss Everdeen.

After going over Frozen concept art, I feel more strongly than ever that the final designs and characterization for the film are bland and boring. I always thought there was something lacking anyway, since my first view, but now it's harder than ever after seeing such creative, vibrant, expressive... well, animated concept art and early designs.

This film would have been SO BEAUTIFUL in 2D animation! ;_;

I don't find Aurora interesting, and find her rather boring

I love both 2D and CGI. They're both gorgeous, even if I prefer 2D slightly.

I love Tiana's hair!

Belle is definitely not a Mary-Sue. Neither are Rapunzel or the Classics, for that matter.

Although I don't think any of the DPs are Mary Sues, I think calling Rapunzel or Belle a Mary Sue makes no sense when you look at Cinderella. She is closest to being a Mary Sue, although none of the DPs actually are Mary Sues.

I ship Elsa with Hans.

Merida is in my top 6 for pretty princesses, including Anna and Elsa

I don't think the classics are the best role models

Belle isn't that smart.. She is just a bookworm. She reads fairy tales, she says so herself.

Maleficent isn't a great villain. She get's so much attention when she is really a bland redone version of the devil and nothing more. Why is she considered oh so interesting and complex yet Shan Yu isn't? I mean, I get it, Shan Yu doesn't have a very complex personality but why do people pick on him for that yet not Maleficent who is extremely bland and not well done at all.

Mulan is my least favorite DP. She's too perfect! Everything comes so easily for her and she can be a bit boring sometimes. She has some admirable personality traits like how she's brave and selfless, but I think she's a Mary-Sue.

The Classics aren't as similar as people say. Sure, the movies and the characters have some similarities, but that's because they were made in the same era. They are just as similar as Rapunzel is to Anna and Ariel is to Jasmine: they have some things in common, but not really their personalities.

I don't know if this is "unpopular", but I don't think Belle and Elsa will be good friends, let alone lovers. Their personalities clash too much.

I like shipping my friends (you guys) with Disney characters it makes me feel happy to see them the character that they love because they're so much alike.

JELSA is a terrible ship IMO

I liked the days before Brave and Frozen joined the line up. It's so hard to put some of your favorites out of the top 5. I mean I love my top 7 Disney films (Maybe top 8) and it seems so wrong to put some lower then others....sigh I wish it could just be ten again.

Rapunzel's short hair is better than her longer, and I think she looks gorgeous with it

I think princecatcher93 is the best looking Disney Princess.

prussiaducky is the best looking disney prince

Atlantis is my second favorite Disney movie. :3

Cinderella is my second favorite DP movie, and it isn't very popular. I'm still waiting for the day where it'll be more well-liked in this club, though I can see why so many people don't like it.

Not DP related but TRON Legacy is seriously one of my favorite movies.

People are way too defensive of the princesses they like ...I get it you don't like it when they are called 'Mary-sues' or 'selfish' or 'annoying' but see their flaws except them and embrace the criticism but arguing against facts are just annoying...especially when they can't respect other peoples opinions

I actually don't like princesses. *is shot* I find the idea boring. You wear pretty hairstyles, dresses, jewelry and dance with cute guys, but what else is there? I don't like the Disney Princesses because they're princesses, I like them for their personalities and accomplishments in their films. (In fact, now that I think on it, all my favorites aren't princesses through most of their films.)

Elsa should of been the one who saved Anna not the other way around. I was hoping that she would. She needed to prove that she does care about her sister despite the fact that she would not talk to her. We all know why, but Anna did not, and it looked bad.

They should make a prequel where Pocahontas goes back to John Smith. Think about it. It may not be history related, but it'll give fans the justice they need.

I hate it how some people only watch the masterpiece Disney films (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan and now Frozen) and don't know any of the other films. In fact I laugh at my friends' facebook pages when those are their favorite films and they say their a Disnerd but can't tell you if Pooh Bear wears pants or not.

I wish they gave Elsa a love interest. That would've been good.

Jasmine is very underrated, and it makes me feel so sad. Whenever I see polls asking who your favorite princess is, Jasmine always has little to no votes. Sometimes, it seems that I'm the only one who really loves her. (even though I know I'm not)

Not really an opinion, but it's probably somewhat unpopular:
I don't watch my favorite Disney movie a lot. I have seen it about 6 or 7 times, while certain other Disney movies, I've seen more. (I only fell hard for Disney 3 years ago) I guess I like "keeping it golden" by seeing it after a very long time and getting blown away every time.
Oh, by the way, this special movie is Tarzan. <3

I don't think Ariel's a bad role model because she "changed herself for a man." Far from it, I actually don't mind that about her. Part Of Your World establishes that she desperately wanted to gain legs and walk the land long before she ever set eyes on Eric. He was just the final push to pursue what she already wanted anyway. It's like wanting to go to college, but never really pushing for it, then you see or meet someone you're interested who is attending the college you already wanted to attend, so you go both for it and the person you like. Is it better to give up on your dream and stay home just because someone you're interested in romantically happens to be part of the deal?

I once actually made this point to an avid feminist (who loves everything about Ariel except that) and she said, "But she was still willing to change herself for a man." Yes, but she's willing to change something about herself that she already wanted to change anyway. Imagine you have blonde hair, and you hate having blonde hair. You really want red hair. You've been desperately wanting to dye your hair red for a long time, but just never worked up the nerve. Then you fall for someone you learn likes red hair. Is it bad that you dye your hair a color you wanted anyway because someone you like happens to also like it? Should you keep your hair a color you don't like because the person you like likes the color too? What sense does that make? How about piercings? You want to get a certain piercing (say, navel), your learn someone you like has a thing for people with that piercing, so you shouldn't get it even though you would both love it?

Now, I dislike a lot of other things about Ariel - her personality, the way she became human, the mess it caused that I don't think she did enough to help clean up or apologize for - but those are unpopular perspectives while the one that she didn't give up her life for a man because she wanted to anyway is the unpopular one.

It's not a popular opinion, but it's mine.

I wasn't really a princess fan when I was younger. *astonished gasps* Until my mother gave me the Princess and the Frog DVD, I had always by far preferred super heroines, book heroines and especially other Disney heroines to the Princesses. In fact, the only princesses I didn't think of as anything more than girly ditzes when I was younger were Jasmine, Belle and Mulan. Like, for most of my childhood until Tiana (which I first saw when I was like ten), Alice, Megara and Esmeralda were my favorite Disney girls.

This feels blasphemous since I'm in the Disney Princess club, but I'm actually annoyed that most major Disney heroines are princesses. I understand that most Disney movies are largely based on European folklore and fairy tales, but given how many changes they make to the original stories, would it really be so hard to change some princesses into every women (like Tiana) instead of vice-versa (like Rapunzel and Gerda/Anna)?

Heck, even heroines to more original stories, like Atlantis and Brave, are princesses. I understand there are story reasons, like how Kida's sense of responsibility to her people drives her to seek Milo's help, and her royal blood gives her a special bond to the crystal that makes her vulnerable to being absorbed by it... but that just makes a "rescue the princess" climax, which is so tried and true.

On Merida, people begged Pixar to make a female lead for ages, and they finally did... with a rebellious princess. In the words of Mark Andrews: "She happens to be a princess because that just heightens the stakes in the story. If she was a scullery maid, 'big whoop, she wants to be different!', where’s the stakes in that?" I get it, but why use a "medieval gal that wants to be different" at all when we've seen it so much? Pixar was FAMOUS for their creative and original stories. Why fall back on the tired old "princess wants to challenge tradition" story just for their first leading lady?

Heck, these days Disney makes every heroine a princess even when it contradicts their original stories, like Rapunzel and Gerda/Anna. I understand the story reasons, but still... Like Alice and Wendy, Penny and Jennifer, Esmeralda and Lilo, I'd like to see more Disney heroines who happen to not be or become princesses.
