The Princes don't really save the Princesses

posted by manu962

This is my first makala here and I hope wewe like it. I'm getting tired people calling Disney (Especially Disney Princess) sexist. So I decided to write an makala 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 tafuta for her and kiss her. I bet that if Snow White wasn't hiding from her Stepmother she would tafuta for the Prince too.
And I bet that the Prince didn't tafuta for her himself. He has many servants who can do that.
And kissing someone is not that hard. He didn't even know he saved her till she woke up.

Saved by
The Prince: 2/5 The sidekicks: 3/5 Herself: 1/5

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 wanyama too. They helped Cindy a lot.

The Prince:1/5 The sidekicks 5/5 Herself 2/5

3.Aurora
We all know that the The Three Good vichimbakazi 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 vichimbakazi 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.

The Prince:3/5 Sidekicks:4/5 Herself 0/5

4.Ariel
Well, Eric killed Ursula in the end but I bet that was because they wanted him to be a zaidi 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.

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

5.Belle
Beast did save Belle from the Mbwa mwitu loups 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 moyo that he couldn't kill Gaston.

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

6.Jasmine
Aladin did rescue her from the hourglass and showed her A Whole New World and he defeated Jafar (not kwa killing him), but I bet that if jimmy, hunitumia 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 au 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 au 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 upendo 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 kwa theirselves au their sidekicks and not really kwa the Princes. Except for Jasmine, who is totally saved kwa the Prince. And the only one to never even try to save herself if Aurora
Remember, this is only my opinion. If any of wewe disagree, I would be happy to hear your opinions.

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

And I'm curious if anyone's inayopendelewa orodha has changed kusoma this makala because my orodha has really changed after uandishi 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.

sweetie-94's inayopendelewa DP Couples

posted by sweetie-94

Since it's Valentine's siku soon I decided to write a few makala relating to that and I decided to do a orodha of my inayopendelewa DP Couples, fittingly enough the last time I did this orodha was around this time last year, since then my orodha has changed a slight bit. Hope you'll like this article

11. Mulan & Shang

Imo they're zaidi best Marafiki than a couple, their first meeting is hilarious though and I upendo how Mulan isn't afraid to onyesha off her feelings for Shang in a subtle way and how Shang chose to not kill Mulan despite the fact that women wheren't allowed in the army, it shows that...

An makala Defending the Classic Princesses

posted by hatelarxene

I know we've probably had an excess of these over the last few months, but I don't care. In my humble opinion, there can never be too many makala defending Walt's girls. I believe Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora just as much praise and recognition as any of the Modern au Renaissance princesses. The three classic Princesses receive a large amount of criticism. They include "weak", "passive", "need a man to save them", "boring", "do nothing", "need a man to save them", among others (that last reason is so incredibly stupid and sexist). These "arguments" are beyond cliché, mind-numbing,...

Most Magical Disney Princess Film Countdown- UPDATED

posted by laylastepford

hujambo everyone! The classic Disney films had such a knack for capturing the splendor and wonder of magic so I thought I'd rate all the DP films to see which ones are the most magical.
For this, I took the 5 most likely elements of magic in the Disney Princess films and added 1 category for the awareness of each 6 elements. This is because the zaidi prominent magic would be in a story (or the world in the story), the zaidi people should be aware of the magic as it would be hard to miss. Here are the 12 put together:

1. Magical Powers- Meaning that magic can be done without the use of items (like wands)...

The Disney Princesses and Their Virtues

posted by ace2000

Hi everyone!

Recently, I ilitumwa a swali asking mashabiki to orodha five personality traits most desirable in a Disney princess. My traits poll, which was going to be the foundation of this article, was based on TheMusicalMolls' orodha of traits; the first response. I didn't bother to check my swali again for other responses, but when I returned to my swali after I ilitumwa the poll, I was surprised to see that zaidi mashabiki had bothered to answer my question. At that point, it was only a handful of people, and since I found their lists highly similar to TheMusicalMolls', I let it be. I hope I didn't...

My Ranking of DP Films - Original in Part 1

posted by anukriti2409

Here's my quick ranking on original DP films in part 1 of this makala series. Part 2 will follow with all the sequels, prequels and shorts. Hope you'll enjoy it!

12. Princess and the frog:
I found the script to be very lazily written, with no wow moments to remember and no surprising twists. The movie crawled at deathly slow pace, making me skip scenes in between. The uhuishaji was pretty average with nothing memorable except a few scenes in bayou and death of Dr. Facilier. I found the sett ups to be unflattering and lacked the Disney magic feel to it. The best set-up from the entire movie was...

My Opinion on the Frozen shabiki vs. Hate Argument

posted by WinterSpirit809

I'm sorry but I disagree with each side. I mean I agree with each side but I don't. I think both sides of the argument are taking things way too far, and it doesn't need to.

Frozen mashabiki need to just accept that not everyone likes this movie and Frozen haters need to learn that they are being just as rude as the Frozen mashabiki and they just need to stop.

Both sides really need to stop because they're ruining this movie for me. They already ruined Elsa for me, and soon, I'll hate the whole thing, even Anna, who's my inayopendelewa DP.

I find it awkward that...

My Ranking of Disney Prince

posted by anukriti2409

Here's my ranking of Disney Prince, barring Prince Hans as he's the DP villain. Hope you'll find it entertaining.

11. Florian:
Apart from imba and inaonyesha courtesy and respect to a young maid of lower status, there's literally no interaction and no scenes to understand his personality. It was kind of creepy for me that he'd kiss a supposedly dead maiden. So yeah, he's the last in my list.

10. Naveen:
Spoiled rich brat who didn't even learn after plundering all the ancestoral wealth and thought of fixing it the easy way to find a rich girl to marry. Too flirtatious, too lazy, too laid-back...

Princess jimmy, hunitumia Trivia, Goofs & Plot Holes - credit to imdb

posted by PrincessAyeka12

I, myself only knew 7 out of 14. Who knows, wewe might know zaidi than me au know less than me. Either way enjoy kusoma and absorb the knowledge!

Trivia

1) Production designer Richard Vander Wende devised a simple color scheme for the film, inspired kwa its desert setting. Blue (water) stands for good, red (heat) for evil, and yellow (sand) is neutral. For example, the villainous Jafar is clad in blacks and reds, while the virtuous jimmy, hunitumia wears blue. Another example is in the Cave of Wonders, where the lamp's chamber is blue, and the ruby that tempts Abu is bright red.

2) jimmy, hunitumia was originally...

Rapunzel, anna, and ariel

Did wewe ever know that Elsa and Anna had a cousin? Well wewe do now! Elsa and Anna have a cousin and there cousin is Rapunzel. Never knew that? Now wewe know. Rapunzel is cousins with the sisters Elsa and Anna. Rapunzel seems like she forgot she had cousins. I am not sure about Elsa and Anna if they forgot they had a cousin. How are they cousins? Elsa and Anna's mom is the sister of Rapunzel's mom. Now they are Cousins. Another weird thing. Both shows are created kwa the same person. I never knew they were cousins till I saw a YouTube onyesha that alisema they were cousins. Another weird thing. Ariel...

inayopendelewa DP Parents Countdown

posted by laylastepford

Honorary Mention: Cinderella's Father

Okay so I basically grew up without parents in a large sense. That being said, I always yearned for a loving, stable and consistent mother and father to teach morals, values, effective and constructive communication, consequences for actions, real love, respect, trust, honor, etc. Since Walt Disney founded the company under those family and character-based values, I have always been very attached to the Disney brand. That being said, I was thinking about the Disney Princesses' parents and if I could have traded my childhood situation with one of them, which would it be? Since I also upendo lists...

Most Beautiful Things from Each DP sinema

posted by Sparklefairy375

From anukriti2409 and sweetie-94's makala about most beautiful things from DP movies, I was inspired to make one. But my version is a little different: this one is most beautiful things from each DP movies, from the first until the latest ones. Well, hope you'll be enjoyed my makala and sorry for mistakes I may be made.

1. The Ending (Snow White and Seven Dwarfs)

Belle: A Character Review

posted by laylastepford

My entire life, Belle has always been my absolute inayopendelewa princess. When I was just a toddler I dressed up like her for Halloween and when I got married, I even tried to find a dress that resembled her yellow kanzu, gown (in white, of course).

In so many ways, Belle reminds me of myself. As someone who relates so closely to and identifies with Belle, I wanted to share my well-detailed analysis of her character. I believe we all know our inayopendelewa characters the best so I would encourage others to write an makala about their inayopendelewa princess. I hope that this will help others understand Belle a little...
