The Best Disney Princesses, from Snow White to Moana

PUBLISHED AUG 5, 2023 on Collider
“There’s just no telling how far I’ll go.”
Tenacious determination, an adventurous spirit, strong-willed independence, hard work, physical and mental strength, kindness, and grace: these are as much the hallmarks of a Disney princess as soaring songs and animal friends that talk.
Some princesses have one or two of these qualities. Some have more. A few have them all. But each one is as different a woman as the difficulties that arise in their individual stories. The values and strengths that help each of them persevere and succeed offer different models the children who watch them can use to help inform the best versions of themselves they can be. The princesses below offer all that and more.

Merida
