My favorite would probably have to be Cinderella. She reminds me of Donna Reed, the old school girl next door. Cinderella's character is naturally very sweet, pretty and has a good sense of humor. Plus, she gets to have the prettiest ballroom gown and glass slippers!

My favorite princess is Snow White, but female character has to be Miss Bianca.

Thats soooo hard! I love so many! Ariel is probably my favorite, she is sweet and kind, and she falls head-over heels over guys! I can relate to that a lot since when I like a guy, I'm like that too! I also like Belle a lot. She is also very sweet and I relate to her since she doesn't really fit in. I love her yellow dress, I had hoped to find one just like it for junior prom (next spring), but so far, no luck.

the dictator moved my thread!

Odd, I thought it was fine under General Discussion

guess this is one of those gray areas... maybe if it fosters enough discussion it will get moved back

my favorite would have to be belle. she's more independent and strong willed than most of the other disney heroines.

Briar Rose/Princess Aurora

Look to the left.

Scar moved your thread?

My favorite female character is Cruella? (But not the Cruella of Patch's London Adventure - we want the fur obsessed Cruella back!).

Why do I like Cruella so well? One reason is the animation, but the other is the writing of the character. We know what she wants and we know what she'd do to get it. And unlike most other Disney villains she doesn't want to rule the kingdom, become all powerful, or steal lots of money. So while she is cartoony, she's also more realistic in some respects. Maybe it's just me, but I sort of feel sorry for her - so desperate to obtain something that would ultimately be so meaningless.

Yzma... Ursula... Madame Mim....

the purple ones!

I thought this thread was about female protagonists. My pick is Belle. I feel she's the most fleshed out and realistic of the Disney heroines, and I relate to her the most.

Iwas just getting ready to mention that!
Cruella is neither a princess nor is she a protagonist, and neither are the three Izzie wrote.

I actually hated those damn dalmatians, as a kid, and still, I always hope Cruella will succeed in her plan to skin the hides!!! Mwa ha ha ha ha

Dalmatians, are stupid mean dogs, in actually, and that's the truth of it, any dog expert can verify that... my apologies to any dalmatian owners/lovers... but god I have come to really HATE this stupid movie, and all of the movies it has created in it's wake, the live action dalmatian movies, and well, I have not seen Patch's LA yet, so can't comment on that, but god I really hate those stupid dogs....

However, when the Platitnum comes out, I will probably buy it, and view once more, though I can't see liking it, but maybe I can enjoy it, as one of Disney's 2-D films, something that may one day make it rare and a real treasure, for those who do not see Disney's animatred features as that already...

Any way I don't care for Cruella all that much either and think it is an insult that she is compared to, and put in the same league as that of Maleficent - the mistress of all evil, and by far disney's best villian, female or male. Also I think Lady Tramaine is are far better villian and she is like never acknowledged, hardly ever!!!!


Anyway, my vote stays the same. Briar Rose

Well since Jasmine never looks into this site..... I will have to say Belle

Her name says it all!

A protagonist has two meanings:

1. A leading or principal figure.
2. The leader of a cause; a champion.

The protagonist of a Greek drama was its leading actor; therefore, there could be only one in a play. The question for speakers of modern English is whether a drama can have more than one protagonist. When members of the Usage Panel were asked “How many protagonists are there in Othello?” the great majority answered “One” and offered substitutes such as antagonist, villain, principal, and deuteragonist to describe Desdemona and Iago. Nevertheless, the word has been used in the plural to mean “important actors” or “principal characters” since at least 1671 when John Dryden wrote “Tis charg'd upon me that I make debauch'd persons... my protagonists, or the chief persons of the drama.” Some writers may prefer to confine their use of protagonist to refer to a single actor or chief participant, but it is pointless to insist that the broader use is wrong. ·The use of protagonist to refer to a proponent has become common only in the 20th century and may have been influenced by a misconception that the first syllable of the word represents the prefix pro-, “favoring.” In sentences such as He was an early protagonist of nuclear power, this use is likely to strike many readers as an error and can usually be replaced by advocate or proponent.

I would say Cruella (or any of the other villainesses mentioned) are certainly leading or principle figures.

i forgot about Meg. She would probably be my second favorite disney heroine due to her spunk and feistiness.

My favorite princess is Cinderella, just because she had the perfect temperment and endless amounts of kindness and compassion. Her story is one of hope and I don't know anyone who cannot relate to it. Plus, I firmly believe that she had a fiesty side that the company just did not have the time to indulge in. (As seen in the scene just after "Sing Sweet Nightingale" when she starts to chase Lucifer with a broom and then sarcastically suggests that she interrupt the "music lesson.")

My favorite heroine, though, is Megara, without a doubt. I adore her. Her wit and spunk are just refreshing and Susan Egan did such an amazing job as her voice. She's also much more developed than most Disney characters and especially love interests since she actually has a backstory that is somewhat painful. Not to point out that she is possibly the character in the movie that goes through the most distinct change.

And one cannot forget Tinker Bell. She doesn't have a lot to say vocally, but that doesn't stop her from communicating clearly. She's small and full of personality.

Well then, how about we just change the title of this thread to favorite female heroine? Would you argue that Cruella's that, too?

I'd go with Belle. I relate to her the most.

Megara,Mulan,Belle,Aurora,Eliwony(sp).

The chick,the warrior,the brave one,the Avril Lavigne-type,the rebel.

There.

I'm sorry, I did think this thread was asking for your favorite female character.

You see, I'm not really interested in the heroines (or heroes). Who would by, most of the princesses are damp rags when it comes to personality (and the same is true for most princes too, so I'm not being sexist).

Who would prefer Hercules over James Wood's Hades? Snow White over the Queen? Alice over the Queen of Hearts?

If the push comes to the shove, I'd have to say Perdita from 101 Dalmatians (a co-incidence) - she really puts herself out and is more than willing to sacrifice her life to save her puppies. But now your going to tell me they it has to be a human aren't you?

In which case... er.... nobody stands out... Captain Amelia? Simply because I like Emma Thompson's voicing. But she's not human either is she (and I suppose some will complain she's not in the movie enough. Er.. this really is hard... how about... Of course! It's so obvious now:

Lilo!
