Belle is a true beauty and is an official Disney Princess. She first appeared in the Walt Disney animated feature film ‘Beauty and the Beast’, which premiered on November 13 in 1991.

Just like so many of the Disney fairy tales that we’ve grown up with, the Disney story of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ was originally based on the traditional fairy tale that was also titled ‘Beauty and the Beast’ by the French author Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve. The story was later abridged and republished by French author Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. The tale of Beauty and the Beast is about a beautiful woman that is kept in an enchanted castle by a monstrous beast.

Disney’s film version of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ was up until that time, the first and only animated feature film to ever be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. The film received Academy Awards for Best Music for Original Score and Best Music for Original Song for the song ‘Beauty and the Beast’ featured during the famous ballroom dance sequence between Belle and the Beast.

‘Beauty and the Beast’ is one of the best known animated Disney films and its overwhelming success has seen the adaption made into a long running stage musical. The film has also sparked appearances in other media adaption’s where Belle features in storybooks, comic books, video games, the popular ‘Disney on Ice’ shows. A series of direct to video releases featuring Belle have included ‘Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas’ and ‘Belle’s Magical World’.

Belle is truely a beautiful Disney Princess. She is sweet natured and intelligent and loves to read books. She has long brown hair and beautiful brown eyes. Belle is most commonly recognised wearing a sparkly yellow ballroom gown and often is shown holding the rose that is the symbolism of love throughout the movie. Today Belle remains one of the favorite Disney Princesses of little girls.

Ariel is an official Disney Princess and is the heroine in Walt Disney’s animated feature film, ‘The Little Mermaid’ that was released in 1989.

Like so many of the Disney animated fairy tales, Walt Disney’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ story was based on the original story by Hans Christian Andersen also titled ‘The Little Mermaid’. Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author and poet and was well known for his children’s stories. His works included many familiar fairy tales that include ‘The Princess and the Pea’, ‘The Ugly Duckling’, ‘Thumbelina’, ‘The Little Match Girl’, ‘The Snow Queen’, ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ (that of which Disney has also based their animated film ‘The Emperor’s New Groove’) and many more well known children’s fables and fairy tales.

Ariel, just like the other Disney Princesses, has her own style and visual characteristics. Ariel is a mermaid and has lovely long red hair, beautiful blue eyes, a green tail and she wears a purple bikini of sea shells that form her bikini top.

Ariel has made several appearances in Disney film, in addition to her ‘The Little Mermaid’ debut. In 2000, she appeared in a prequel to ‘The Little Mermaid’ film that was titled ‘The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea’. In recent times Ariel appeared in the prequel ‘The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning’, released in 2008. Both prequel films were released directly to video all feature Jodi Benson as Ariel’s singing and speaking voice.

‘The Little Mermaid’ and Ariel have also featured in a television prequel series, as well as a stage musical performance. She has also featured on many other entertainment mediums that have included video games and music albums. Ariel remains a Disney Princess that is adored by young girls and one of our favorite Disney characters.

Snow White was the first of the official Disney Princess, when she appeared in Walt Disney’s animated fairytale, ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’. The movie premiered on December 21 in 1937 and was the first animated feature film in history.

Just like so many of Walt Disney’s animated feature films, the story of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ was based on the original fairytale authored by the Brothers Grimm, known as ‘Snow White’ which formed part of their collection of fairytales. The Brothers Grimm consisted of Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, who were German academics and well know for their popular fairytales. The Brothers Grimm works consisted of ‘Cinderella’, ‘Rapunzel’, ‘Sleeping Beauty’, ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, ‘Hansel and Gretel’, ‘The Frog Prince’ and ‘Rumpelstiltskin’.

Disney’s Snow White, like all of the Disney Princesses, has a distinctive visual elements and characteristics in her personality. She has black hair, shaped into a small bob cut and wears a red bow in her hair on the top of her head. Snow White wears a dress with a yellow skirt and a blue bodice that features splashes of red on the shoulders of the dress, with a tall white collar around the back of her neck.

The Snow White story and her appearance in Disney’s ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ is centrally based around her wicked stepmother, the Evil Queen that is overcome with jealousy of her stepdaughter. When asking the Magic Mirror ‘who is the fairest one of all?’ and it replies ‘Snow White’, the Evil Queen orders Snow White to be killed. Upon fleeing from the Evil Queen’s attempt to kill her, Snow White runs into the forest and finds some animal friends. She comes upon a cottage and befriends seven dwarfs each named Doc, Grumpy, Sleepy, Happy, Dopey, Sneezy and Bashful. The voice of Snow White throughout the Disney film is performed by Adriana Caselotti.

Being the first Disney Princess, Snow White continues to be one of the most loved and sweetest Disney Princesses and will always have a special place in storytelling and animation history.
