Not for nit-picking but maybe you shouldn't count Elsa and Anna. They're not part of the official DP line up. And this spot is only for the official DPs. Just a suggestion.
This is one of the most lame excuse to not like any princess, I have ever heard.
Aurora is too weak, so-not-my-type.
Yes, my least favorite DP is Anna, my favorite's sister. Same as @ajotma, I think she is annoying and her humor or awkwardness are forced. The idea of her getting married to a man she's just met disgusts me. Worse, it is intended to ridicule the old DP. Her scenes without the Ice Queen is boring. As the matter of fact, she is the main character of the movie and I think she has no development. She's still bringing new guy she's just met, only this time she's lucky that he ain't bad like the predecessor. Worst of all, she has nothing new in her character! She's as dull as a block of ice that has not been crafted yet by Elsa. Hopeless romantic? Old DP. Cheerful, optimistic, and quirky? Ariel and Rapunzel. Daring? Merida's movie even titled Brave. True love things? Belle. Plainly, without her sister, her existence is meaningless.
I also dislike Elsa. When it comes to Elsa, the world seems to be screaming, "LOOK AT ELSA! SHE'S THE COOL, BRAVE, INDEPENDENT, STRONG, PERFECT FEMINIST WHO DOESN'T NEED A MAN!" I'm sick of hearing about how "brave" and "independent" she is, because she is given responsibility as a Queen, and what does she do? Goes into the mountains to build an ice castle and be alone while Arendelle slowly freezes to death! Independent, yes, but what good is that, given the circumstances? It was also probably her parents' fault since they got the idea in her head to try to hide her powers (but, after 13 years of trying to hide it and failing, don't you think they would have realized that they may have needed another plan?) To me she is more of a coward than Snow White. And maybe she's just poorly written, because for someone who "cares" so much about her sister (whom she hasn't seen in 13 years, how can that REALLY be a good relationship?) she doesn't show it too much, always trying to push her away and never trying to get to know her.
And Merida. She seems like Disney's failed attempt at making a tomboy princess, trying to come off as brave, strong and independent, but instead looking like a spoiled teenager who avoids responsibility and resents her parents.
I don't think Elsa is quite as selfless as people say. While I do think she genuinely believed (or at least wanted to believe) that she was acting in Anna's best interest, I see an element of selfishness in her choice to continue to isolate herself after her parents' deaths rather than face her fears, and it bothers me a bit that she isn't honest with herself about it. If Elsa had been an only child or if she and Anna lived miles away and had seperate lives, I would be more accepting of her choice, but I think it was the wrong thing to do in this case because isolating herself also meant isolating Anna. I'm also astounded that it took her so long to see what a negative effect the isolation had on Anna. She stayed locked in her room after her parents' deaths despite Anna's pleas and didn't seem to understand her need for social interaction when she asked to marry Hans, not even when she said, "I can't live like this anymore!" Even when Anna followed her to the ice castle, she still tried to push her away, and it makes me wonder whether ir not she would've ever understood Anna's point of view had she not sacrificed herself to save Elsa.
All that aside, the thing I dislike most about Elsa (and I know most people will probably think this a bad reason) is that she reminds me of myself in the worst possible way. I used to be very pessimistic, wallowing, and insecure, isolated myself, let fear rule my life, and ran away from my problems, though I did eventually wind up realizing the effect my attitude had on others and decided I didn't want to be that kind of person. Watching Elsa make the same mistakes I did always makes me sad to think that one day she'll have a lot of regrets over the choices she made and ashamed to remember a time when I made those same choices.
* Sorry that was so longwinded, and I'm especially sorry if I offended anyone by speaking my mind. It wasn't my intention :) *
Merida may be a selfish, spoiled, and so on in the beginning. But she changed in the end. She becomes a better person. I salute her bravery for admitting her fault and apologised for it. Moreover, I love her relationship with her triplet brothers and adore her skills in weapon fighting and horse riding.
But when she hears from her sister Anna that she's put Arendelle in a deep freeze and that she must return, she shuns Anna and continues to stay away from Arendelle, rather than facing the issue like a mature adult - she is 21 and I consider people 20 and over to be adults. She admittedly doesn't know how to reverse what she has done, but the fact that she doesn't even make any effort strikes me as irresponsible, despite the fact that she is disturbed and extremely flustered at what she has done.
She also sends a huge snow monster after her sister to chase her away. I think that the issue would have been better resolved with mature talk instead of blatant force. Anna could have actually gotten hurt, and this makes me rethink: is Elsa more concerned about herself now that she's decided "the past is in the past" and that she's never returning to Arendelle, or her sister, the sole surviving member (as far as the movie shows) of her family?
I'm not a huge fan of Merida, either, but she takes responsibility for her actions. She fixes what she has damaged on her own. Elsa doesn't go back to Arendelle because she wants to. And I think Elsa should want to; she should want to reverse the damage and pain she is causing her people, and if this is not greeted respectfully and gratefully, if people still think she's a monster and are constantly wanting to assassinate her, she would have more reason to leave.
Deciding not to save people, as Elsa did, is just as bad as harming people, as Merida did. The difference between them is that Merida assumes responsibility and Elsa doesn't. And I can't bear an irresponsible princess.
