My rankings:
Belle = 20
She's so wonderful. I love her imagination, her thirst for adventure, her refusal to be content with a quiet life, not to mention her ability to see beneath the surface. She's so brave, and I just adore her.
Moana = 19
I'm so glad she's been added to the lineup! What I like most about her is that she has this huge desire for adventure and exploration, but also values her home and family and wants to return there eventually. We don't really see that in any of the other princesses, most of them who want to leave want to leave permanently. I connect with this part of Moana and it's a big reason why I like her so much.
Tiana = 19
I wish I had Tiana's drive and work ethic. I definitely look up to her, and I love how her dream is this huge tribute to her father. She doesn't take flack from anyone, stands up for herself, and knows exactly what she wants in life.
Merida = 18
Merida makes me smile, it's as simple as that. She's crazy and wild, but also learns from her mistakes and owns up to them. It's nice that we have a princess who's not interested in marriage. I think she's severely underappreciated, and I really adore her.
Mulan = 18
Mulan's a badass. She's so brave, and I love her devotion to her family. Her transformation is one of the best of all the DPs.
Cinderella = 17
I like Cinderella's little touch of sass, but she's also such a sweetheart. I slept on her for way too long, so glad I realized my mischaracterization of her.
Ariel = 16
My childhood favorite. <3 I just wish she learned a little more from her experiences, if so then I could rank her higher. She's still great though! I connect to her a lot at the moment because I'm trying to move to a country where I don't speak the language.
Aurora = 15
I love her elegance and sense of duty. Unfortunately, her lack of screentime makes her fall just a little flat for me, so I only like her, I don't love her. She's still a sweetheart though.
Jasmine = 15
I feel like Jasmine talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. She's super active up until the guards capture her and Aladdin, and then she gets a bit boring imo. I love her in the first part of the movie, not as much in the rest. She has some great lines though, and I like that she's sassy and sexy. (Just edited this to bump her up a bit. I read MissCinico's comment on her in the previous favorites article (2018) and was reminded of some other things I like about her. Although I still wish she acted a bit more on her threats, I can see how this is an act of maturity on her part.)
Pocahontas = 14
I really love her personality, but the historical inaccuracies keep me from ranking her any higher. I'm always super conflicted about her. I see a lot of myself in her. But she's so disrespectful to Powhatan culture...
Snow White = 13
She's so sweet and cute! I like how she takes charge and bosses the dwarves around. Unfortunately, I wish she actively pursued her dream more, which is why I can't rank her any higher.
Rapunzel = 11
I have mixed feelings about Rapunzel, but I think I like her overall, which is why she's sitting at an 11 rather than a 10. I just feel like Tangled is trying really hard to get me to like her, and that bothers me a lot. I like that she's artistic and curious about the world.
