I'm so excited to finally get to write this article! I thought this was an incredibly interesting countdown, and I want to give a huge "Thank you!" to everyone who participated. This was my first countdown and it was so much fun! I have a bunch of ideas for other ones I can conduct in the future. So anyway, I'm gonna stop blabbing now and get to what you're all actually here for: the results! Enjoy...
10. The Princess and the Frog
It was no surprise that this movie came in dead last. It was practically a unanimous vote! Every single person who commented voted that this should be the first to leave. Not only did disney twist the fairytale beyond recognition, but the only thing they had in common was a prince getting turned into a frog. For reference, you can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"No doubt about it. The main characters are a different race, with a different setting, time period, motives, plot, etc. The list would be way too long to write. The only thing that is similar in both is that the girl kisses a frog, and that the frog is a prince." ~Jayden-G
"That's what bothers me this most about this (and the way disney fairy tale filmes are heading...). they even got the título wrong. it should be the Frog Prince, since Tiana is not a princess and she kissed a frog prince." ~AudreyFreak
9. Pocahontas
This was another unsurprising elimination. Nearly everyone who commented agreed that it should be the seguinte to leave. They changed ages, names, motives, and dropped an entire romance in where there wasn't one. disney seriously needs to take a few history lessons! For reference, you can read a summary of the historical account here: link
"John Smith was older. Moreover, 'Pocahontas' was just her nickname, not her real name." ~BraBrief
"John was like 35? and Pocahontas was like 12...goodbye" ~princecatcher93
8. Tangled
Though I personally disagreed that this should be the seguinte to get eliminated, the majority of the commenters argued that there were very few similarities between enrolados and its fonte material. The whole "wanting to see the lanterns" dream was an entirely new concept, and instead of a prince, Rapunzel got a thief. For reference, you can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"seriously, this hasn't left yet? they kept the 1) hair 2) a plant 3) being locked in a tower 4) Gothel hurting Flynn. other than that..." ~AudreyFreak
"The fairytale and the movie are just completely different with the exception of a few key elements." ~BelleAnastasia
7. The Little Mermaid
This was yet another nearly unanimous vote. The first half of the tale has several similarities (desire to be human, falling in amor with a prince, trading her voice for legs), but the segundo half bears hardly any resemblance. She feels like she's walking on glass, her prince really does fall in amor with someone else, and she dies in the end because she can't bring herself to kill the man she loves. For reference, you can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"Very different, to say the least" ~rhythmicmagic
"Very different ending, and transformation into human." ~Popcornfan
6. Aladdin
And again we have another nearly unanimous vote. disney took out one of the genies and most of the rest of the story and replaced it with a bunch of pop culture references. Though you can see the parallels between the two stories, really the only things left are Aladdin, his lamp, one of the genies, and a princess (though her name isn't Jasmine). For reference, you can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"Aladdin...that's a totally different story. Which is a good thing. But the movie omits the mother, the ghost of the ring, the palace which is built for Aladdin, just to mention a few thing. Honestly, the only thing left is aladdin and the lamp." ~Swanpride
"The man in aladdin claims to be his uncle, but i think it´s a lie to get aladdin and his mother to trust him, nothing more. I can´t remember Badroulbadour to be spoiled. Of course her character is flat, she isn´t the main character of the story that´s pretty normal." ~Safira-09
5. Mulan
When I began this countdown I was positive mulan would be one of the last filmes to leave. I guess others didn't agree. Sleeping Beauty actually had the most votes at 46%, but mulan had mais comments, and since I was basing this pesquisa off of the comments mulan was the one to go. For reference, you can find a summary of the original legend here: link
"The original tale of mulan is mais a framework of a story than a story itself, but many things are different- mulan has siblings (including a brother not old enough to take his father's place,) her parents seem to be in on the act, she is gone twelve years, and mulan is never discovered but reveals herself after coming início from the army to all her fellow soldiers. The only thing that really remains that same is mulan matures and goes through a period of great maturity (also the symbolism of twelve years) and that the Emperor offers her a position but she returns início instead." ~rythmicmagic
"Yeah. I think she was older in the poem, was not caught until after she served her many years, did not have feelings for her general. There really is not much of a story to the original poem. Oh, there is no dragon, and did not leave for dishonour." ~Jayden-G
4. Beauty and the Beast
I had to make a tiebreaker round for this one. Based on the pesquisa Beauty and the Beast just barely beat Sleeping Beauty, but the comments were tied, so I decided to be doubly sure and make a tiebreaker poll. The pesquisa was very close again, but the comments clearly favored Beauty and the Beast. After all, they left a lot of stuff out (siblings and etc.) and put a lot of new stuff in (talking objects and etc.). For reference, you can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"Well this one is different from the original in a lot of ways. One is that they had no talking objects, no Gaston, and no angry Beast. He was extremely kind to her. Maurice got captured because Belle asked him for a rose, he was rich, had sisters, and had little to no plot." ~Jayden-G
"This is hard. Both have similarities and differences from the original tales. I'm choosing BATB, because it just seems to have mais differences than Sleeping Beauty." ~BelleAnastasia
3. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Once again Sleeping Beauty actually won the pesquisa portion of this, but the comments favored Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It's easy to see why it was the seguinte to leave - in the original Snow White was younger, the Wicked queen tried to kill her three times, and there was no magical kiss. For reference, you can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"In the original, the queen tricked her three times and the prince didn't kiss her, he just thought that she was pretty and so he had her taken to his palace in a glass case and on the way she was dropped and the maçã, apple came loose." ~rythmicmagic
"What bothers me about the changes the most is the kiss...totally screwed up the perception of the tale." ~Swanpride
2. Sleeping Beauty
Anyone who faithfully voted in this countdown will know that I was pushing for Sleeping Beauty to go from fairly early on. I guess very few people agreed with me because it ended up in segundo place! The majority of the original elements are still there, and when compare to Perrault's version, which it is directly based off of, it is nearly exact. For reference, you can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"Hm, in the original fairy tales, there is no dragon and there are seven fadas not three fairies. Besides, the princess sleeps for 100 years." ~LightningRed
"Sleeping Beauty is missing big plot elements that were in the fable; an the backgrounds and situations of some characters are completely different." ~Jayden-G
1. Cinderella
It's not difficult to see why cinderela won this countdown. All of the main plot elements are still present in the movie, and the only real addition was the talking animals. disney left out a couple of the mais gory parts, but for the most part everything else is there. For reference, you can find a summary of the original tale here: link
"Making the stepsisters physically ugly is a pretty big change, one which totally screwed up the perception of the fairy tale." ~Swanpride
"There is little to no difference in Cinderella." ~Jayden-G
And so this concludes my first countdown! Hugs to everyone who participated. <3 Comment your thoughts, and I'll start another countdown soon. :)

Other than Mulan's dress being in a different color these are the images I'll be using for this article
Compared to most of you I amor ALL of the redesigns of the princesses, but I do have a list of the best redesigns too so here's my list :)
10. Cinderella
When I first saw this redesign I was thinking "Is this Cinderella?", I mean look at her, how many similarities can you find between the way she looked in the movie to this design? Only a few I guess, but that doesn't stop me from loving this redesign, the hairstyle is a HUGE improvement from the awful bun she had before, the dress is very pretty, but like most other people I think she looks almost too much like Barbie, but not to an extent...

Quick descriptions for each placements. Hopefully it doesn't confuse you, tell me if so, I'll never do this again. If it's fine then I invite you to do this type of article.
10th Movie: Pocahontas
I have so many issues with this movie, I just cannot ignore the flaws. Though I amor the animation, the score and the ending.
10th Princess: Aurora
Poor Aurora, I like her but her lack of screen time always puts her in disadvantage.
10th Prettiest: Snow White
Perhaps if she was older, she'd rank up but I'm just not a fã of her look to be honest. Though her lips are lovely.
9th Movie: Snow White and...

When dimitri_is_hot made her list of the disney Princes she'd settle down with I figured I'd do it too but with the disney Princesses. It took a lot of thought to figure it out. Anyway please comment about what you think and please keep in mind this is just my opinion.
11.Aurora
I honestly don't think we would have any chemistry. Me and her don't really have anything in common, other than feeling like people treat us like we're still children, but other than that nothing really. I'm outspoken and a little rebellious while she's dependent and does what she's told. For me I prefer to have...

10th Place
Which will win?
I'll be starting a hair style competition soon in the polls! It will be similar to the outfit one we currently have going on. I want to make sure I get all of them for all the original DP filmes (no sequels). Different hair styles means anytime their hair looks different. For example, if Ariel has a flor in her hair that is considered a hair style. So I need help finding them! Leave pictures of ones you find so I can make sure I get them all. Or a list of maybe all your favorito princess' hair styles. Everyone is welcome to help. I appreciate it.
Thank you!
xoxo, Jaina :)

Here's the 2nd part of this countdown covering the placements 25-6 which means that the topo, início 5 will get a seperate article, hope you'll enjoy it :)
25: Ariel & Mulan
Your comments:
Mulan sacrifices everything for selfless reasons, Ariel on the other hand sacrifices everything for selfish reasons. (BelleAnastasia)
24: Tiana & Rapunzel
Your comments (I chose to only take the ones that where in the tie breaker pesquisa since there was so many great ones there):
They have a few things in common, but for the most parts they are total opposites. (BelleAnastasia)
that was a little tough...but...

When I was faced with the decision of what to play during my wedding, it was easy- disney amor songs. I wanted to incorporate disney into my wedding (which is in December), but not have it be in-your-face or cheesy, so that was my decision. (I'm also having a glass slipper as a cake topper.) :) So while planning my list, I realized that I have very specific favoritos when it comes to DP amor songs, so I thought I'd share them with you. Enjoy!
10) A Whole New World
Man, does this song get on my nerves. I’m sure it was groundbreaking when aladdin was released, but this song is so cliché...

"Romance will always be so new and love will save the day..."
One thing for sure about disney they know how to do romance. So I'm counting down my favorito DP couples.
10.Aladdin and Jasmine
Aladdin is my #1 and jasmim is my #2 but together they're my #10. Does that make sense? Yeah, I never gotten the sense of True amor between them. Their relationship seems very physical in my opinion, like they're just two kids in high school messing around. The way jasmim said "I amor you" seemed very half assed to me. Don't get me wrong, I amor aladdin and Jasmine, they're my childhood heroes, but I don't think they're in love.
