Disney’s first-ever feature-length movie was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This movie was hugely successful, and Walt Disney was awarded an honorary Oscar for the picture. Snow White is a beautiful young girl who escapes an evil queen’s attempt to kill her out of jealousy. Seeking refuge with seven dwarfs who take her into their household, she i...
Disney’s second princess movie took on one of the most beloved and most-adapted fairy tales in the media. Cinderellatells the story of a young girl who, with the help of a fairy godmother, escapes the oppressive household of her wicked stepmother to enjoy a magical evening at a royal ball. She ends up catching the eye of the prince, and even though...
Disney’s next princess movie was Sleeping Beauty, the story of a princess who is targeted by an evil sorceress who took offense at not receiving a royal invitation to welcome the newborn princess. According to the curse, she would prick her finger on a spinning wheel on her 16th birthday and die. A good fairy thankfully has the chance to help, chan...
After three decades with no new additions to princess movies, The Little Mermaid was the first of a new type of Disney princess: the young Princess Arielwas a much more independent and spunky princess than her predecessors, openly defying her father and dealing directly with the evil sea witch. As part of the deal, she must make a human prince fall...
Disney made the revolutionary decision to tell the story of Beauty and the Beast in the style of a musical. Despite being known as the most beautiful girl in town, Belle’s unconventional personality ostracizes herfrom her village. When her father is captured by a prince-turned-beast in an abandoned castle outside the town, Belle doesn’t hesitate to...
Though Aladdin technically follows the story of Aladdin, a street rat with a heart of gold who finds a genie lamp, Princess Jasmine is just as much a key playerin the movie. She’s strong-willed and resents the idea that she has to marry a prince simply because she is the daughter of the sultan. She first falls in love with Aladdin for who he truly ...
Disney’s first princess based on a real-life historical figure was Pocahontas. Though Pocahontas takes many liberties with the true story, the movie was a hit.

- Aladdin – c. 300s. Aladdin was released in 1992 and is part of what’s known as the Disney Renaissance, which is when Walt Disney Feature Animation went back to producing successful animated movies based on popular stories.
- Brave – c. 900s. It’s clear that Brave (2012) takes place in Medieval Scotland, but exactly when was a bit hard to figure out. Brave takes many elements from Scottish folktales, such as the will-o’-the-wisp, and Merida defies age-old customs, which can be difficult to place.
- Moana – ~900s. Moana is the most recent Disney Princess to be introduced, and her story is set in a Polynesian island. Again, a specific date isn’t given, though it has been said that it takes place 3000 years in the past.
- Sleeping Beauty – c. 1300s. Sleeping Beauty was released in 1959 and it’s based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault (with a lot of changes to make it kid-friendly).
