Which Disney Designer Princess is your favorite (sorry Pocahontas fans! Feel free to include her in your answers!)?

For my 200th post, I wanted to honor every Disney Animated Classic! Shown in chronological order, here is nearly 75 years of Disney magic!

+ Beauty and the Beast (1991)

“Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter’s night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman’s ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.”

Concept Coincidence?

Concept art for Beauty and the Beast and Tangled (respectively,) both recreations of Fragonard’s The Swing. Funny that Glen Keane worked on both films.
