* AMinorKidroduction: This seems to be a trend with the Revival-era princesses, who are all shown as a baby/child at the beginning of their movie. It also occurs with two out of the three Walt-era princesses (Cinderella and Aurora, but not Snow White). For whatever reason, it's done with ''none'' of the Renaissance-era princesses, unless you count the direct-to-video prequel ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIIArielsBeginning''.

Added DiffLines:

* ExtremelyShortTimespan:
** ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' takes place over about a week.
** ''WesternAnimation/Cinderella1950'' mostly takes place within 24 hours, from the time Cinderella wakes up the first morning until the climax.
** The bulk of ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' takes place on the day of Aurora/Briar Rose's 16th birthday, from when she awakens to when, well... she awakens again after Prince Phillip kisses her.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'': The only unclear spot in the film's chronology is how long it took Triton to find out Ariel's secret, but it can safely be said to take place within a single week, with most of the focus set on the three-day period Ariel has to succeed in becoming human.

** ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' and ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'' could well be this to ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'' and ''{{WesternAnimation/Pocahontas}}'', respectively, due them being about underwater kingdoms and Native American tribes. The former movie even as a princess hail from an underwater kingdom as well.

** Disney seems to have rowed back on this idea to an extent, as the "Ultimate Princess Celebration" artwork from 2021 onwards shows all the Princesses hanging out with each other like best friends.

** Disney seems to have rowed back on this idea to an extent, as the "Ultimate Princess Celebration" artwork from 2021 onwards shows all the Princesses hanging out with each other like best friends. And the rousing rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star" from WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio shows Snow White having a solo line ''instead'' of Cinderella, which very much implies that the idea of the Princesses needing a de facto 'leader' has now become largely redundant.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: While Snow White was the very first princess to be created by Disney, the lead princess in this franchise is Cinderella, Disney's second princess. (Walt Disney himself confessed in interviews that he reasonated with Cinders more than Snow White. As a result, she gets more attention than Snow White and has more merchandise made than her. Case in point: whenever Snow White gets re-released on home video, there are very few pieces of tie-in merchandise released (with the 2001 release only getting a UsefulNotes/McDonalds [[KidsMealToy Happy Meal]] and the 2017 release only getting a set of collector's dolls), while whenever Cinderella gets re-released, tons of tie-in merchandise is made. Tellingly, Cinderella has two sequels while Snow White has none.
