In their movie, Aladdin really loves and respects Jasmine.
Here are my favorito things about Jasmine:
She always stands up for herself. I amor Jasmine's style- she always stands up for herself and what she believes in. I don't think she's rude, selfish or unappreciative- how would you feel if you were trapped your whole life and forced to marry a pompous jerk who doesn't care about you? She might not have to clean all dia like cinderela or Snow White, but jasmim has issues too, and she decided to stand up for herself when she was being treated like property.
She's adventurous. I can relate to this, because, although I amor my mid-sized town, I often get bored of it, I long to see the world. jasmim has it much worse, because she has been stuck in the palace her whole life! She wants to get out and see all there is to see, do all there is to do. Some may argue that she has everything, but she knows that she wants so much mais than the riches of royalty.
She's clever. As she said when she was pole vaulting over the roofs of Agrabah with Aladdin, jasmim is a fast learner and thinker. She also figured out when he was lying to her por asking a smart question, and although it was quite disturbing and nasty, it was pretty clever for her to distract Jafar por seducing him. It's true, and aladdin even admitted it (It's so cute when he's lovesick over her!)
She wears pants. This is a no-brainer. And who could pull off those harem pants better than Jasmine?
Here are some commonly stated opinions against Jasmine:
"She is so rude to her father/Aladdin/everyone." Like I said before, jasmim was only standing up for herself after putting up with years of crud. How would you feel if you were in her position? She is just a little mais feisty than some of the other princesses.
"She's hypocritical- she said she wasn't a prize to be won, and she let aladdin treat her like a prize!" This is just my opinion, but I think there's a difference there. When aladdin tried so hard to get her, it was out of sheer amor and respect for Jasmine. When he, the Sultan, and Jafar were fighting over who would marry her, that was not so respectful- each of them were trying to decide Jasmine's fate when obviously that was hers to decide. She had a right to put them in their place!
"Jasmine is stupid for thinking she could just give a little boy an maçã, apple without paying for it." Well, she was locked up her whole life, what do you expect? She was just being kind, and that vendor may have overreacted a tad... just saying...
"Jasmine is ungrateful and spoiled." Just because she lived in a palace doesn't make her life amazing. For heaven's sake, she was LOCKED UP in her palace! She had no freedom or real friends, but her coração longed for adventure. Maybe she didn't have to do grueling work all day, and maybe she didn't have any physical problems, but mental health is just as important and her life was just as bad as any other princess'.
I am not saying in any way that jasmim has no flaws. She does. However, sometimes people degrade her in a way that forgets how cool she really is! (in my humble opinion, of course) Thanks for leitura and please comment to tell me what you think!

7) Bejewelled Princess Dress
This dress is over-the-top! She is not the type of princess who would appreciate being decorated like a natal árvore and then find that she cannot walk without feeling the heaviness of weight pulling her down. It doesn't suit her at all.
6) Makeover glittery and patterned dress
This is better than the last one but still over-the top. This time it's the gold patterns on the skirt. There's too many patterns. The corpete part is more. subtle with a singular pattern on the side. I like that. But the shiny blue sleeves are distracting. Too shiny. Her headband is...

I am now a ghost and forever haunting my old chateau.
We've come to the big one. I hear Belle called a Mary Sue a lot, mais than any other princess aside from maybe Rapunzel.
Unique traits without contacts or hair dye- No. She has brown hair and brown eyes.
An odd name- No. 'Belle' isn't that odd of a name.
Looks constantly commented on- God yes. The town literally sings an entire song about it (along with how odd she is). It's literally in the título of the movie, along with her name. 1.
Multiple characters falling for her- Yep. Beast and Gaston, plus the whole town calling her beautiful. 1.
Gets into the relationships she wants- No. Her relationship...

I'm not strictly doing these in chronological order, it's just a coincidence that I chose Ariel next. You might think Ariel isn't a Mary Sue because of her obvious flaws that a lot people hate her for, but I think she still could be. Mary Sues can have flaws (hence why that trait doesn't just say "No flaws" and nothing else). So let's see.
Unique traits without contacts or hair dye- Sort of. Red hair is common enough, but her shade of red definitely isn't. .5
An odd name- Sort of. 'Ariel' is common enough por mermaid standards, but she's the only one of her siblings with a name not ending...

Wow, I'm on a role with these tests. I look up clips from the filmes for these (though I don't have enough patience to watch the full movies, just the parts relating to the traits). I found the whole of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves on Youtube...presumably. It was just a cut and edited version of the movie played multiple times to make it look like the full movie. Still, it gave me enough information.
Unique traits without contacts or hair dye- No. Her "hair as black as ebony" and brown eyes are common.
An odd name- Yes. 'Snow White' isn't a name you'd find in anyone in real life, or...

After doing the mais modern princesses, I switched to the classics, who are accused of being Mary Sues a lot. (I might not do ones for Merida and Tiana, since they pretty obviously aren't Mary Sues). Starting with Cinderella.
Unique traits without contacts or hair dye- No. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, common traits.
An odd name- Yes. It'd make sense if it was explained cinderela was a nickname and her real name is Ella, like in some versions, but it isn't in the film. 1.
Looks constantly commented on- Yes. cinderela is described as beautiful, and the prince considers her the most...

Her eyes are violet in this pic, but what about the scene she woke up from sleeping? She had blue eyes. And what about the scene she was dancing? She had black eyes.
