Later that night, Cinderella sees a carriage outside the château through a large window. Jaq and Gus find a sash that Anastasia doesn't want anymore, as well as some beads are thrown out by Drizella, and take them to help fix the dress. The mice and birds, feeling sorry for her, take it upon themselves to repair the dress for Cinderella. She is about to begin fixing her dress when she is unexpectedly called downstairs by her impatient, needy stepsisters. She immediately delivers it to her stepmother, who tells her she can go-provided she finishes all her chores and is able to find something suitable to wear.Īfter thanking her stepmother, she goes back to her room, where she shows the mice and birds a dress that had belonged to her late mother. One day, Cinderella receives an invitation to a royal ball at the King's castle. Her only friends around the château are the mice (especially Jaq and Gus), the birds, Bruno the dog, and Major the horse.
She is notable for being silenced repeatedly by Lady Tremaine, creating the assumption that Cinderella is expected to do chores without speaking out. She, her daughters, and their pet cat Lucifer abuse and mistreat Cinderella, ultimately forcing her to become a scullery maid in her own home. However, after her father's death, Lady Tremaine reveals herself to be a passive-aggressive tyrant who is jealous of Cinderella's charm and beauty. Her father, believing she needed a mother's love, married Lady Tremaine, who has two daughters about her age Anastasia and Drizella. Cinderella and Tiana are the oldest, both 19 years old.ġ5.Cinderella is shown as a mistreated young girl who dreams of escaping the torturous life she has had to endure at the hands of her stepfamily. Jasmine, who is supposed to be 15, is the second youngest. If the Disney Princesses existed IRL, they totally might have gone to your high school, because turns out they're all teens! Snow White is only 14 years old, making her the youngest. They didn't feel that their chemistry would be convincing on-screen, because Jasmine was just way too ***flawless!ġ4. But after Jasmine's character was designed, producers had artists re-do Aladdin completely. Originally, Aladdin was meant to look much shabbier. Some people who worked closely with Walt Disney say that Cinderella was his favorite princess.ġ3.
Walt died in 1966, but he probably would've loved THIS animation, too! Does anything look familiar?ġ2. The ~magical~ moment when Cinderella's dress transforms from her housemaid threads into a gorgeous ball gown was Walt Disney's all-time favorite animation. You will never watch Beauty in the Beast again without looking at the colors everyone is wearing!ġ1. Gaston, on the other hand, wears red to highlight that he's the bad guy. Blue was also meant to symbolize good in the movie. When she meets the beast, he is also wearing blue, showing that they are both misfits. You probably remember her dress being pretty, but you may not have realized that Belle is the only person in her hometown to wear blue in Beauty and The Beast, which signifies that she is an outsider. In 1994, she became the first woman to be named a "Disney Legend" in the voice category.ġ0. Adriana Caselotti, the actress who voiced Snow White, was only paid $20 a day in 1937, which doesn't sound like a lot now, but at the time, was a fairly decent salary. All of the others are princesses by birth or married princes, but Mulan was just so kickass, she had to be the exception!ĩ. Mulan is the only character on the official Disney Princess lineup who is not actually a real princess. Probably because she spent most of her time sleeping!Ĩ. Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty has the least amount of dialogue of all the Disney princesses. Although she is the only one to be featured on the official Disney Princess lineup, Tiger Lily from Peter Pan was actually the first.ħ.
Pocahontas was actually not the first Native American princess in a Disney movie. Beyoncé could have voiced the role of Tiana in Princess and the Frog, but she refused to audition and lost the role to her Dreamgirls co-star Anika Noni Rose.Ħ.
It was about time for a sassy, red-headed princess!ĥ. The last princess before that was Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, which was released in 1959. When The Little Mermaid was released in 1989, Ariel became the first Disney princess in 30 years. Pocahontas is the only princess based on a real person (the real Pocahontas was born in the late 1500s!).Ĥ.
