As already mentioned, the painting "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was released in 1937. The plot is based on a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. Snow White is considered the youngest of the princesses (by her age in the picture, of course). This is a beautiful girl with pitch black hair and white, delicate skin. She is the daughter of a king.

The mother of the heroine, unfortunately, died, and her stepmother, according to tradition, was raised by an evil, and even a sorceress. This woman had a mirror that said that only Snow White was the most beautiful in the world. As a result, the girl was secretly sentenced to death, miraculously escaped, and then met with wonderful gnomes.

Snow White is very kind, and animals from the forest always help her in her daily activities.

Cinderella

Her first appearance was in the 1950 cartoon of the same name. Cinderella is one of the three most overgrown princesses (she is already 19). The heroine cannot boast of royal origin. She received her status thanks to a profitable party with the king's son.

She was raised in a family with a stepmother and two half-sisters. The father did not care much about the upbringing of the heroine (and he could not do anything).

Fortunately, the fair-haired beauty (even a dirty robe could not hide her charm) had a godmother who was a sorceress. Of course, the heroine was also lucky to have a miniature foot size.

Aurora

Aurora can be seen in the 1959 painting Sleeping Beauty. It is under the last name that many know her. A sixteen-year-old girl is a full-fledged princess - the daughter of a king and queen. The slender blonde conquered all lovers of Charles Perrault's fairy tale. And this despite the fact that she loves to sleep!

Perhaps she is one of the few in whose history there is an opponent with a bright personality. The witch Maleficent even deserved her own Disney movie, where the character was played by Angelina Jolie. Aurora has also appeared in a couple of related projects where she can't be overlooked.

Ariel

Ariel wowed viewers with her cuteness in 1989. She is a sea maiden (i.e. a mermaid). The heroine was destined to become the youngest (seventh in a row) daughter of the sea king. However, then she also marries a prince, so you don’t have to worry about the status of a princess.

The storyteller Andresen once wrote sad story about the little mermaid. Disney, after the problems with "Bambi", could not afford the audience condemnation. Thus, Ariel's story ended happily.

She appeared in the sequels as well as the animated series. By the way, this is the only princess who is not originally a real person.

belle

You can't talk about princesses without mentioning France. Here is the seductive Mademoiselle Belle at your service! It's well-read and simple country girl who believes in happiness.

She believed for a long time (she was 21 years old), but, nevertheless, she always relied on what her heart would tell.

She was able to help the prince get rid of the spell, so she deservedly got an honorary title. Interestingly, there are no more brown-haired women among other princesses. French women have always had the talent to stand out. The story about Belle is very popular and she appears in many projects.

Jasmine

"Arab nooo!
O Wonderful East!

That's right, you can also characterize Princess Jasmine. She is the daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah, a magical and incredibly beautiful kingdom, located among the sands and oases.

Jasmine is dressed as expected oriental beauty. She is the first non-European among the Disney princesses, moreover, she remains the only heroine of Arab origin. Being a noble family, she fell in love with the enterprising tramp Aladdin, which was observed by the audience in 1992. Then the beauty flaunted in sequels, series and games, where she always maintained an aura of mystery.

Pocahontas

Disney decided to turn to its roots and show how the princesses lived on the American continent. In 1995, a picture about the adventures of Pocahontas was released. The black-haired, athletic and flexible Indian woman has not in vain earned her nickname, which translates as "naughty". She is a prankster.

Father Pocahontas is the leader of a large tribe, so she is a princess. This means that she is allowed to run wherever she wants. The girl loves to retire and feel how great nature is. Her best friends is a raccoon and a hummingbird. When the first white settlers appeared, the heroine was the first to know about it.

Mulan

Mulan is on the list of Disney princesses, apparently for quantity. At least, that was what Mooney had in mind, intending to make the most of the sales. Although it cannot be said that Mulan is not worthy of such a title.

The story, which the audience got acquainted with in 1998, tells about the national heroine of the Chinese epic, who saved the country from the invasion of the Huns. And then the girl married a military leader who had reached great heights. And this despite the fact that he could take this post herself! Moreover, Mulan could marry the prince in the second part of her adventures. But love conquered all.

Tiana

Tiana didn't even think about becoming a princess. Black waitresses living in New Orleans rarely dream of such a thing. The heroine worked very hard, intending to continue her father's work and open her own restaurant. Slowly but surely, she walked towards the realization of her goal, until a frog came under her arm.

The prince of an exotic country was turned into an amphibian for selfish purposes. He believed that the kiss of the princess would save him. At the carnival, Tiana was dressed like royalty.

Alas, then together they began to jump towards their happiness. The girl proved that she is worthy of her title.

Rapunzel

The original story of Rapunzel is told by the Brothers Grimm. Disney smoothed some corners, and it turned out children's cartoon. Childish? Yes, but not really. The picture of 2010 has such a rating that children should watch it only in the presence of their parents. There are jokes that little ones shouldn't listen to alone.

Rapunzel is the daughter of kings. But as a baby, she was kidnapped by a witch to use the power of her hair. By the way, this hair has a length of more than 21 meters. Following Aurora, the heroine is the second blonde among the Disney princesses. She chose a groom for herself in the manner of Jasmine - a thief and a rogue.

Merida

It's time to go to Scotland. In 2012, the cartoon Brave was released. Of course, this localized title is a homage to the nearly eponymous film directed by Mel Gibson. Since then, Scotland cannot be mentioned without discussing the Oscar-winning film.

The main character is Princess Merida. She is the king's daughter, so all traditions are observed. The girl is sixteen years old and full of energy. Naughty red curls, a bow behind her back and a faithful horse - she doesn’t need anything else. She messed up a little with magic, but then, of course, she corrected herself. Interestingly, Merida has no boyfriend. Which is nonsense for Disney princesses.

Unofficial princesses

That's the end of the list of Disney princesses. It just seems that way to you. In fact, the studio could not stop at eleven beautiful heroines. So there was a list of unofficial princesses, which consists of almost all female characters, the tapes that appeared on the screens.

There was even a video game released where all the girls had the title of Princess of the Heart.

Alice

Alice in Wonderland was released in 1951. The plot is based on the Lewis Carroll dilogy, with some changes. The girl Alice falls asleep in the garden. She is awakened by the White Rabbit running past, who is terribly late. The heroine, rushing after him, finds herself in Wonderland.

There is also a game adaptation. There were even two parts. True, films only use familiar characters. The plot moved on. And Alice, can you imagine that, is playing tricks with the Mad Hatter. True, Johnny Depp plays him. Be that as it may, the presence of this character in the list of princesses can be justified.

Ding Ding

Peter Pan came out in 1953. The play by James Barry big success, so the story had to be brought to life on the screen. Among other characters (Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Crocodile) Tinker Bell stands out. She is a small and very cute fairy who is constantly trying to get the boy Pan out of trouble.

True, over time, it was decided that the character is not very similar to the classic princess. But at first the magical beauty was positioned more actively. However, this does not prevent Tinker Bell from being the heroine of her own animated series.

Esmeralda

Yes, Disney got to Victor Hugo. Studio in 1996 filmed cartoon"The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Everyone has heard about Quasimodo, his curse and unrequited love to beauty. Everything about the book was dark. The picture was also not very funny, but the end turned out to be Disney.

Esmeralda appears in the tape. She is a gypsy. The girl is distinguished by that exotic beauty, which is usually obtained from mixing blood. Long black hair, emerald eyes - Esmeralda looks simply incomparable. Not being a princess, she has earned her place in the sales line.

Giselle

The painting "Enchanted" was released in 2007. Actress Amy Adams, then unknown, began her ascent to the Hollywood Olympus. The fact is that the film is a combination of feature films and traditional animation.

Princess Giselle lives in her magical kingdom in a world with animals. But then she has to go to the real world.

In the kingdom, the viewer can watch the painted girl, and already in the human world, Amy Adams is trying with might and main. Princess Giselle did not become the heroine of the classic franchise due to the fact that the "House of Mouse" is not going to just pay the actress. It's not painted money.

Kida

Kidagakash is the heroine of the cartoon "Atlantis: The Lost World". Her companion Milo at the first meeting could not pronounce this name correctly, so the princess became Kida. The girl is the daughter of the king of Atlantis, a lost underwater country. A little later, at the end of the picture, Kida receives the title of queen.

The non-inclusion of it in the official franchise is caused by a new title and not very large cash collections. However, this "princess" has its fans. Which, by the way, she will survive, because the Atlanteans live for thousands of years. Kida is always ready to throw herself into the defense of her country, but she also often helps her friends.

Lady Marian

Shortly before his death, Walt Disney approved the production of the film, which was based on the adventures of Robin Hood. This is a good legend, the success of which was expected. As a result, the audience got an excellent cartoon and Lady Marian.

The heroine is a fox who lives in the court of King Richard (or Prince John). She herself was not included in the official lineup, but the song performed by the maiden is always included in various releases. In spite of high education, Lady Marian is ready to rush headlong towards adventure, without thinking about anything.

Nala

The Lion King came out in 1994. Whatever they say, this is one of the greatest cartoons in the history of cinema. Oscars and Golden Globes only confirm this. Wonderful animation, soulful voice actors, soundtrack and performance of songs - everything is perfect.

Among all this, you can forget about Nala, which is absolutely impossible to do. First, she is a lioness. Secondly, in fact, is the queen. Simba, her husband, the king of his pride and other animals. Nala, on the other hand, was noted for her song and participation in the promotion of related products.

Megara (Meg)

Her full name Megara, which doesn't sound very friendly. Naturally, after all, for half of the 1997 cartoon Hercules, she helped Hades bring her nephew from this world to the world of the dead. It turned out unsuccessfully, and Meg (Americans like to shorten names) began to meet with the son of Zeus.

Maybe so it can even be ranked among the princesses. Be that as it may, the cartoon turned out to be successful, and Meg sang a song in it. Products were sold, causing spectator interest. Meg carries something tragic. All this is hidden under the mask of mystery. It is not surprising that Hercules decided to hit on the beauty.

Elsa

The 2013 Disney cartoon Frozen gave the audience two princesses, one of whom would later become the queen. Actually, the latter is now being discussed. Elsa has an incredible gift. Ice, snow and all cold is under her direct control. It's very cool, but at the same time dangerous.

Due to an accident, when the heroine could not cope with her abilities, she decided to go to live in the mountains. There she realized her strength, liberated herself and found peace. But then she returned to the performance of her direct duties.

Anna

Anna is the sister of Elsa from Frozen. By the way, there are already talks about including both girls in the official list of Disney princesses. Still, because they are both just amazing for this!

Anna does not have the same abilities as Elsa. She just kind girl who is always ready to help her friends. The character is based on the main characters of the fairy tale " The Snow Queen"- the girl Gerda and her brother Kai. Of course, it does not do without characteristic Disney features.

Sofia the First

Perhaps Sofia will become a full-fledged Disney princess. You just have to give her time. After all, the girl is still quite a baby. Moreover, she was not born in the royal court. The heroine was an ordinary city dweller, and helped her mother at work.

As a result, the mother liked the king, and so Sophia acquired her status. She was unaccustomed to starting new life. Relations with the king's children from another marriage were difficult to build. But the heroine was helped by other Disney princesses, so everything ended well.

Moana

Moana is the child of the ocean. Her connection with the great and mighty is so strong that all the adventures shown in the 2016 cartoon are connected with this. The heroine is the personification of the inhabitants of Oceania - the Polynesians (including Hawaiians and Maori).

Moana is the daughter of the leader, so her status is undeniable. True, she doesn't have romantic line but, alas, it is so modern. One thing is clear - we will hear about the adventures of this exotic cute girl. Disney never forgets those who bring him a steady income.

Disney Princesses is a very successful franchise. Whatever the skeptics say, girls (and boys) watch cartoons and buy related products. Undoubtedly, new characters will be added to the list, because the studio does not intend to stop. Aloha!

Snow White, Rapunzel and Anna are the princesses created by the Disney studio who have won the hearts of hundreds of millions of girls from all over the world. It is these characters that annually become for them the standards of style, sophistication and beauty. You can name at least 10 princesses that are iconic in the history of cartoons.

Anna- This is one of the latest princesses, which was created by the Disney animation studio. She came to the audience from the cartoon "Frozen". The girl doesn't have sparkly dresses like sister. However, she has something more important, this is a sense of style and taste. This allows the young princess Anna to mix stylish bright colors blue and burgundy, which in life is quite difficult to implement. However, it is Anna, like the true professional stylist, wears such a colorful outfit. BUT a green dress, which is also in the princess's arsenal, allows you to create a thin and refined silhouette, which always favorably emphasizes the fragility and sophistication of a girl, even from a cartoon.

- another fashionista from the world of Disney. There are three primary colors in her outfit. It's red, blue yellow shades. It seemed that in the fashion world it is extremely difficult to create a stylish and elegant outfit from these colors. But Snow White does it with ease. And the collar with which her dress is trimmed only improves the image. It makes the outfit complete. It is these colors that make the ensemble of the princess and her whole image as a whole incredibly positive and cheerful.

Is exactly that cartoon girl character who wears exclusively a dress of gentle pink shade. Unique long hair princesses are considered her exquisite decoration and fashion accessory simultaneously. It is Rapunzel in the Disney world that is an incredibly strong and feminine character. Her outfit is in pink and purple tones not only does not irritate, but, on the contrary, emphasizes all the attractiveness of the little brave heroine.

Jasmine from the animated series "Aladdin" appears before the audience in seductive oriental pants, which were traditionally worn in the harem. The character is very sexy and colorful. Through most of her outfits, Jasmine reveals her tummy. However, due to the fact that she lives in a country with an incredibly hot climate, this does not look defiant or loud. The princess, on the other hand, is one of the most stylish Disney characters. Create a lot interesting images she is helped by numerous accessories, one of which is a live, real tiger.

Aurora from the cartoon "Sleeping Beauty" is a truly happy princess. After all, she was lucky to have three godparents at once who love bright colours. That is why Aurora is not limited in choosing the most stylish, luxurious, feminine outfits. Despite the fact that many cartoon critics considered this picture frivolous, the princess was remembered by millions. young fashionistas, who began to take an example from their favorite character.

Appears on the screen as bright pink suits and in army uniform. And, everything goes to her unusually. The beauty of a princess is that she knows exactly how to wear and match clothes. Chinese girl is one of the most stylish Disney princesses, especially when it comes to creating and showcasing versatile everyday ensembles. Mulan uses a wide variety of colors and feminine, unusual accessories in her outfits.

belle from the cartoon "Beauty and the Beast", even being limited in financial resources, appears before the audience in a chicly simple and concise blue dress, which emphasizes her graceful waist. However, it becomes a landmark for the princess golden dress, which is incredibly luxurious and royally solemn. However, in it, Belle does not lose her naivety, attractiveness and cheerfulness. There are other elements in the image of the princess, for example, a cape with a hood. It also favorably complements the image of a girl and emphasizes her fragility.

Ariel, who is the most famous Mermaid in the world, can undoubtedly claim a place in the list of the most stylish cartoon Disney princesses. The heroine is distinguished by refined taste and sense of style. Ariel wears modern dresses, among which the purple outfit sets off her red curls especially advantageously.

Tiana from the cartoon "The Princess and the Frog" lives in the 20th century. She differs from all Disney heroines in that she has at her disposal a mass of the most modern and stylish outfits. That is why very often she appears in bold ensembles that are loved by little spectators. The princess is not afraid of experiments, which allows her to always remain unsurpassedly fashionable. Everything Tiana wears fits her perfectly.

- exactly the heroine from Disney cartoons who never ceases to fall in love with herself, even being in an ugly and old uniform, made in boring and gloomy color solutions. The secret of its attractiveness lies not only in the use bright accessories and wearing incredibly colorful shoes. Her stunning appearance, sweet and shy, which strikes with openness and good nature, makes any Cinderella outfit stylish and incredibly beautiful. That is why this princess can be safely called one of the most beautifully dressed in the history of animation.

Charming addition. The official list of princesses was replenished by 16-year-old Elena - the first Latin American girl in this role. It is known about the new heroine that she lives in the enchanted fairy-tale kingdom of Avalor, inspired by culture and folklore. South America. The show with her participation will appear in 2016, and will voice the "self-confident and sensitive" charmer Aimee Carrero from the series "Young and Hungry". Who does the burning brunette resemble: Jennifer Lopez, maybe Selma Hayek? Which heroine would you like to be like?

Snow White and Marge Belcher

The first Disney princess and the youngest of all is 14-year-old Snow White. The great cartoonist himself really wanted her to be blonde, but soon changed his mind. The living embodiment of the girlfriend of the seven dwarfs was the then-famous dancer Marge Belcher, with whom they copied the canonical brunette. She also posed for the Blue Fairy in the Pinocchio cartoon. But the voice of the princess was given by the young singer Adriana Caselotti. Despite the fact that she was strictly forbidden by contract to sing in films or on the radio, the off-screen role was a triumph for her - her voice became one of the most recognizable in America in the 1940s. The cartoon Snow White became so popular that she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and an Oscar. The organizers of the ceremony jokingly made one classic figurine for her, and seven small ones for the gnomes.

Cinderella and Helen Stanley

After the absolute triumph of Snow White, Disney decided to continue the sub-length animated line with beauties in leading role. The unshakable French classic Charles Perrault came to the rescue. A patient and caring commoner suffering from domestic violence, wins the heart of the prince - the story promised millions to the enterprising animator! Meanwhile, Cinderella - still one of the oldest princesses in the Disney pantheon - is 19 years old. Disney himself represented in this role Ingrid Bergman, but the actress Helen Stanley became the model for the animators. Later, she also posed for the image of Anita - the mistress of 100 and 1 dolmatians.

Aurora and Audrey Hepburn

The 16-year-old Sleeping Beauty from the 1959 cartoon of the same name is the only daughter of King Stefan and Queen Leah, cursed at birth by the evil sorceress Maleficent. As a support for the animators, stylist Tom Oriva took the poses and figure of the adored Audrey Hepburn. Disney stated emphatically: all scenes in the cartoon involving human characters must first be performed by live actors, and animators, looking at this theatrical show, should make sketches. In the original, Aurora was voiced by the opera singer Maria Costa (according to Disney, her voice is “so warm that it breathes love”), and in the Russian dubbing - soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Karina Serbina.

Ariel and Alyssa Milano

The red-haired little mermaid, "canned" at the age of 16, will turn 42 this year. By the way, according to the horoscope of Ariel - Libra (born October 8), and not Pisces, as one might think. A lot of controversy was caused by the hair color of a beautiful amphibian. The studio executives insisted that Ariel be blonde, the artists did not give up - red contrasts better with a green tail and changes shades more effectively in water and on land. The actress was the prototype of the little mermaid Alyssa Milano, which in the year the cartoon was created, just turned 16. To imitate the movement lush hair Ariel underwater, the animators carefully studied footage of the first female astronaut, Sally Ride. And then they hired a model that floated in a transparent tank, and the artists tried to copy the movements of her strands.

Belle and Julie Garland

Just like Cinderella, this 17-year-old provincial Frenchwoman received her title not by inheritance, but only after she married Prince Adam, freeing him from monstrous witchcraft spells. The spectacular appearance of the brown-haired Belle, the artists literally copied from the actress Julie Garland - mother Liza Minnelli.

Jasmine and Jennifer Connelly

The first princess of non-European appearance has become a role model for girls around the world. It is known that this pearl of the East is 16 years old and was born on September 23 in the family of the Sultan of the fictional Arab kingdom of Agrabah. According to animator Mark Henn, one day at Disneyland he saw an incredibly beautiful young visitor with long blue-black hair, whose appearance was the inspiration for the image of Jasmine. The second prototype model for arab princess served, oddly enough, an actress Jennifer Connelly .

Mulan and Christina Aguilera

Chinese Mulan is also among the official Disney princesses. Its story is based on a medieval oriental poem about Hua Mulan, a woman who joined the army. The creation of the character began in 1994, after a group of artists traveled around the Middle Kingdom for three weeks for inspiration. However, the responses to the warlike princess were very ambiguous - the cartoon became the subject of criticism by feminists: “Why is everyone always striving to make a bold and beautiful girl- home creation? And in order to fight for your values, you must certainly be transferred to a boy, otherwise you will not be taken seriously? Mulan helped. Christina Aguilera, who performed the song Reflection in the cartoon, start solo career. After the release of the film, representatives of RCA Records urgently contacted the singer and signed a contract.

Pocahontas and Princess Matoaca

Another beautiful and politically correct gesture on the part of the studio is the African-American Tiana, the heroine of the cartoon The Princess and the Frog. This Cinderella of the new time does not sweep the floors in the house of an evil stepmother, but works as a waitress in New Orleans until she marries Prince Naveen, puts on a crown, and with it - the role of a business woman and opens her own restaurant. There is an actress behind Tiana's appearance Jennifer Hudson, but behind the voice - the singer Anix Noni Rose.

Rapunzel and Taylor Swift

One of the last under the Walt Disney Pictures brand tried on the crown 18-year-old Rapunzel. The princess of the pop scene served as a living model for this heroine Taylor Swift. Oh, those hair! It is known that the length of her magical golden hairstyle was 21 meters, it has more than 100,000 individual curls. No one in the history of animation has ever drawn so many hairs before. To faithfully reproduce this luxury, the film crew animated 147 women with hair. different structure, from which in the end the desired volume of strands was obtained. Working on Rapunzel's hair was so painstaking that one of the computer engineers, after the launch of the film, defended her thesis on hair animation.

For a man without knowing his real name, and Pocahontas seems to be the only princess who is partial to Nordic blondes. We know enough about Disney girls to do a couple of dissertations on the topic. What about men?

I have to admit, things are not so good here. And these twenty facts about Disney princes have become a real discovery for us (and now for you).

1. Aladdin was supposed to have a mom, but she was cut from the movie. She even had her own song Proud of Your Boy ("Proud of you, my boy"), which, despite everything, was returned to the production on Broadway.

2. The name of Prince Charming from "Cinderella" is a moot point. Despite the fact that officially the prince does not really have a name, Disney France representatives claim that his name is Henri, and in theater production In 2015, he was named Keith.

3. Prince Eric is the only official prince who doesn't sing. Some of the "unofficial" princes also refrain from displaying their musical ability, but of the princes - only he.

4. Flynn Ryder (aka Eugene Fitzherbert) is the only prince with a beard. Except for the Beast, but we're talking about the human form.

5. Prince Eric is the first to be saved by his own (future) princess. Remember that Ariel saves Eric's life by getting him out of a monster storm?

6. The second prince who is saved by the princess is Li Shang. In fact, Mulan saves the entire empire, but from time to time she also covers her man.

7. Prince Naveen ("The Princess and the Frog") is the only prince who doesn't have an American accent. He comes from the fictional kingdom of Maldonia, and the voice of actor Bruno Campos is English with a hint of Portuguese and French.

8. Aladdin - the only man Disney, which got the main role. Sorry Jasmine!

9. The animator was inspired to create Tarzan by his skateboarding son. Glen Keane drew inspiration from the movements and facial expressions of his son Max, who was involved in extreme skateboarding and snowboarding. That is why Tarzan descends from the trees in a characteristic way.

10. John Smith is the only blond Disney. I wonder why he was so lucky?

11. Scott Wainger, aka Steve Hale on Full House, voices Aladdin. Moreover, he received both proposals in 1991.

12. Prince Philip from Sleeping Beauty is named after a real-life prince. They say that the prototype for him was the husband of Queen Elizabeth II. By the time the cartoon was released, the royal couple had been together for 12 years.

13. Aladdin's animator was inspired by Tom Cruise. Yes, Hollywood actor Tom Cruise and maybe Calvin Klein shirts.

14. Only three princes have seen snow. Prince Adam (The Beast), Li Shang in Mulan, and now Kristoff from Frozen, who has definitely seen most of it thanks to Elsa.

15. Prince Hans is the only Disney villain who had a romantic relationship with the princess. Fortunately, Anna changed her mind in time.

16. Li Shang is the only prince who didn't kiss his beloved in the first film. Mulan and Li Shang don't technically "date" until the end of the cartoon, as the princess pretends to be a man most of the time.

17. John Smith is the only prince based on a real person. While real story significantly different from the Disney one, this is still the case.

18. When Aladdin lies, the feather on his turban falls on his face. According to the creators, this should be an obvious hint, which, however, few guessed.

19. Flynn Rider arrives with Rapunzel for Elsa's coronation in Frozen. Look in the lower left corner.

20. John Smith is the only prince who didn't stay with the princess by the end of the original cartoon. For those who managed to forget: the wounded Smith returns home, and Pocahontas remains with his people. Alas and ah.
