Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! ~ GODI stripped mine and switched around their heads.
Anyway, the problem with Pocahontas is that she looks...odd. Vaguely alien. I mean look at her!
◊ The Voldemort nose and really tiny mouth and really plump lips...I don't know.
Other than that, as I grew older, I disliked how historically inaccurate it was, but that's not really the main point. She's just weird-looking, and any Action Girl appeal she had was eradicated once Mulan came along.
Edit: Wow, this thread moves fast. Thanks for the ideas Kara. Yeah, it would be odd to bring in the Three Good Fairies without bringing in Aurora. To be honest, though, she really doesn't do much. The fairies pretty much steal the show, and could more than stand alone without her there. The older princesses seem harder to differentiate than the Renaissance ones.

...now I'm imagining Belle in a Disney version of Read Or Die.
TMA: Yeah. It was...yeah.

Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffI think Aurora would pretty much have the same skillset as Cinderella. She lived as a peasant, right? So she'd have to know stuff about homemaking and forests.
^ I dunno, I liked Pocahontas' face. Then again I also really like Ralph Fiennes (aka Voldemort), so.
Hey, does Nala (and Kiara) count as a Disney princess?

Pocahontas looks weird in some stills, but fine in others
◊. It's not like it would matter that much in a written work.
I suppose Esmerelda is stretching it?
There's Giselle, of course, but she's kind of a parody. Ish.

Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffI'll make a thread in Writer's Block.

"War doesn't prove who's right, only who's left." "Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future."The "princess" archetype has many properties:
- beauty
- fancy clothing
- lots of formalwear
- fancy accessories
- crowns and tiaras
- wealth
- display of wealth
- elegance
- power over some people
- obligations to family
- superior status, as royalty
- snobbishness/"rich bitch"
Sadly, I don't think you're talking about a motorcycle-riding, dual-pistol-wielding sharpshooter mage.
Suddenly, I think more highly of your tastes. And lowly at the same time.
Gaston would be curiously apt, if we're going for a sort of "battle of the sexes" theme, though he is the hero of nothing but a bunch of YouTube Poop videos at this point.
And he STILL gets game overs on Lefou's Quest IV.

Article on the subject, not sure if its been posted already.
^ Oh yeah, that's the article I was talking about several pages back. Good to have a link.
"I really, really wanted some Olympic figure skating Barbie for some reason. She was like the only one I ever wanted EVER. Mom said no because I destroyed the others. BUT I WANTED HER."
I had that one. Honestly, I always thought she was gross. The way her joints worked required her to have thicker ankles and thus look more realistic, so instead of looking curvy like other Barbies, she just looked like an anorexic hag.
And better than thy stroke; why swellest thou then?My wife tried to explain this whole concept to me, as she's the oldest out of five girls and thus pretty familiar with the whole princess cool-factor thing, but I think her logic lost me a few turns back.
My daughter didn't seem to care or notice the entire conversation, though, she was too busy playing soldier. The fiberglass suspension shell from an old steel-pot helmet is just the right size and weight for her.

Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.For me the creepiest Disney Villain was Judge Doom. The eyes still creep me out. And his plan to renovate Toon Town as a freeway. DX

What would Pocahontas bring to an adventure team? Well, stealth and wilderness survival.
Ariel's two standout traits are curiosity and willfulness; see what you can do with those.
If you plan to make the three fairies into the Big Good, Aurora's obvious advantage is that she knows them. But really, almost all the Disney Princesses have allies among the fairy/magical folk.
