I recently read a post/blog that rated the manliness of the male Disney main characters. So I thought it would be kind of fun to rate the womanliness of the Disney leading ladies. Here goes!
Snow White
On the one hand:
Snow White knows how to catch a man. She doesn't even need to say a word to him and he's gone. Head over heels. Snow can keep a tidy house and get seven guys to sing while they wash off before dinner.
On the other hand:
Alright, so let's face it. No matter how much you like Snow White, there is absolutely no possible way she gets any heroine points. Nada. She runs away from her stepmother and gets completely FREAKED out of her mind on account of a few trees. So, zip for Snow on that. And what kind of idiot takes a suspicious apple from an ugly old hag? No smartness points for Snow White either.
Overall:
Snow can clean up pretty well but apart from that, she's really not the least bit the heroine. D.
Tip for Snow White: Don't take food from strangers!
Let's hope the next few get some better scores!
Cinderella
On the one hand:
Cinderella, despite her terrible stepmother and living conditions, never takes anything out on Lady Trem, Ana, and Driz. Major maturity points for that! She's also really good with animals, and isn't afraid of mice, unlike most girls. Cindy also scores a prince before she even sees him. Her friends will do anything for her which gives you an idea what kind of a friend she is.
On the other hand:
Cinderella should have noticed that the prince really didn't care enough for her. He should've gone after her himself if he wanted her so bad. She also should have done something other than cry when she was locked up in her room, and when her stepsisters ripped up her dress. Cinderella loses points here.
Overall:
Cinderella is very mature, but she misses some serious stuff. B+.
Tip for Cinderella: Make sure you at least know a guy's name before getting serious.
Sleeping Beauty
On the one hand:
Aurora is majorly beautiful, and has a killer voice. She charms the prince before she's even seem him (much like Cinderella). One of my favorite things about Aurora is that when she finds out she's marrying a prince, she is heartbroken because it means she can't be with the guy she loves. So she's faithful, and not a gold digger like some of the other princesses come across to be.
On the other hand:
Aurora isn't actually beautiful, or a good singer because she was born that way. She was given those gifts by magic fairies. Maybe she would have been the same without the,, maybe not. If not, Prince Philip might not have noticed her because she doesn't seem to have the most noticeable personality. And she sleeps throughout half the movie.
Overall:
Aurora might not have done as well if it wasn't for her fairy godmothers. Who knows though? A-. Tip for Aurora: Stay away from the green light.
Ariel
On the one hand:
Ariel is determined enough to get what she wants that she'll give up her voice, which is one of her most beautiful things. Eric falls in love with her for her personality, not her figure or her voice. She also gets her voice back in the end, and her dad gives her a set of legs. Ariel is one cool friend, as well. All of her friends will do anything for her. She truly loves Eric, so much that up until she finds out that Vanessa is really Ursula, she doesn't try to mess up their wedding. That's pretty sweet.
On the other hand:
Ariel is disobedient. She doesn't listen to her father when what he was saying could really help her out.
Overall:
Ariel is my favorite princess/heroine/leading lady. A+.
Tip for Ariel: Make sure your contract provides you with a nice set of legs. She could have gotten fat ones, or even men's legs since she didn't check.
Belle
On the one hand:
Belle is the only girl in town who isn't obsessed with Gaston (the Edward Cullen/Zac Efron of this generation). She's also smart, and loves to read. Belle really cares for her father, who frankly, would get on my nerves quite a bit. She's willing to give up her life to save his. Belle sees people for who they are on the inside.
On the other hand:
I'm having trouble of thinking of an other hand.
Overall:
Belle is one awesome girl. A+++.
Tip for Belle: You shoulda slapped Gaston!
Jane
On the one hand:
Jane has spunk, and she's not afraid of a little adventure. She's very patient and even though Tarzan never takes her to see the gorillas, she's not angry with him. Jane is very caring towards her father, a bit of a crazy little old British guy. She's got a wicked awesome accent.
On the other hand:
This girl could really use some self-defense lessons.
Overall:
Jane is great but will take some time adjusting to her new world. B-
Tip for Jane: Make sure you know what you're saying before you proclaim it to the world (ooh ooh ee ah ooh, anyone?)
Wendy
On the one hand: Wendy gets to go to flipping NEVERLAND. You can't beat that. Edward Cullen isn't even that cool. She's sweet, and caring and takes good care of her brothers while she is very young herself. And she can fly.
On the other hand: Wendy leaves Neverland. Excuse me for a moment Wendy, but who do you think you are? IT'S NEVERLAND!!!!!!
Overall: Wendy is the youngest of the heroines on this page, and scores better than quite a few. Her kindness and imagination combined with her poor choice to leave Neverland give her a B+.
Tip for Wendy: IT'S FLIPPING NEVERLAND.
Random picture!
Aren't these cute? If they were a necklace, I'd wear them.
Here is a photo of Sierra as Ariel. Goodness, if I were talented enough to get that part, I'd never leave it unless I got fired!
I'm getting psyched for The Princess and the Frog! Out on December 11th! Photo to the left. It's set in New Orleans, which I am kind of bummed about since I so love fantasy places. And since it's animated I can't go find the filming sites!
Next is Rapunzel, out in 2010. I must admit I am quite disappointed that it will not be 2D. It looks too Barbie for me. And I'm not crazy about the look of Rapunzel herself either.
