Disney Princess is one of the trademarks of Walt Disney. It was planned by product consultant Andy Mooney. In order to bring together the heroines of various works under the Disney name, the trademark is widely used in various media and on the merchandise.
This trademark does not generally refer to all the princesses that actually appear in the Disney series, including princesses and princesses (both are called Princess in English). Mulan is the only non-princess or princess in the lineup. who. As of 2017, there are 14 Disney princesses in total, including Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, and Elsa. , Anna and Moana.
Disney is an indispensable growth companion in the hearts of children. Those classic princesses come one after another, and each character is very distinctive and outstanding. Good character creation has a subtle educational effect, so Disney When creating these characters, no effort was spared in focusing on their descriptions. Looking at the history of Disney, it spans nearly 60 years of history, with no less than 10 feature films, and has created unique animated characters, from the gentle and virtuous Cinderella Cinderella to the resolute and brave Hua Mulan, from the innocent and innocent Rapunzel in The Frog Prince, Tiana who is super strong and capable in The Frog Prince, and Anna sisters with very different personalities in "Frozen". All the girls are so healthy, positive and optimistic, which is really unforgettable. , with so many characters there must be a thousand Hamlets among us. Snow White
The first animated feature film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" released by Disney in 1937 was also an era when Broadway singing and dancing was popular in Hollywood, and a large number of singing and dancing elements were not enough. Strange, it even became a necessary feature in later Disney movies. Everyone can sing and dance, and there are hymns and laughter everywhere. However, the image creation inevitably carries the classic characteristics of that era. Everyone likes silly and sweet girls. , especially the iconic facial features, the princess’s appearance is almost the same as that of all the beauties on the recruitment posters at that time.
And at that time, the prince was almost omnipotent. When he appeared on the stage, he would automatically bring spring back to the earth. He was a veritable lucky boy. Even Snow White comforts herself every day, "My Prince Charming will come one day." It can be seen that in that era, girls' requirements were very simple, that is, to find a boy who is as omnipotent as a prince. Girls should be kind enough, cute enough, and stupid enough that it doesn't matter if they are deceived by simple scams, because they are always Prince Charming is here to save you. Cinderella
The image of Cinderella is closer to the public. She is no longer a delicate little princess, but an ordinary and kind-hearted girl next door. Although she encounters unfairness, she still maintains her kindness and gentleness. She is hard-working Virtuous, tolerant and optimistic, she insists on a dream in her heart, that is, she is as eager to find princely love as Snow White. However, Cinderella does not just wait stupidly, she will seize the opportunity to actively strive for it.
Cinderella has also become a classic girl idol in Disney movies and TV shows, which is perfect. Of course, the prince inside is still as lucky as ever. He doesn't need to work too hard, he just needs to find Cinderella in love at first sight. Sleeping Beauty
In 1959's "Sleeping Beauty", the princess seems to have the least sense of existence, and the image creation is also weak. However, due to the drastic change in the style of the picture, the beauty's appearance has changed, and the oval face is more suitable. Today's aesthetics, baby fat is probably out of date. However, this princess loves to dream all day long and is still as innocent and innocent as Snow White. She still yearns for the love of a prince, even if there is a terrible curse accompanying her.
But this time the prince is much more miserable than before. Although the prince is as handsome as ever, he still needs to go through hardships and struggles to win. Here, his lucky halo is gone, and he was even tricked by the big witch. After being caught, he became the most pitiful prince and had to rely on three fairies to save him, so Sleeping Beauty eventually evolved into a fairy vs. witch drama.
Mermaid
30 years after "Sleeping Beauty", Disney released "Mermaid". During this period, Disney also released "Alice" and many animal-themed movies, including many small animals full of princess dreams. But it was the little mermaid princess Ariel who left a profound impact on the little girls. She was not only full of innocence, but more importantly, she was also a little rebellious! This is something rare in previous movies.
Princess Ariel is obviously different from the previous three, that is, her independent and decisive style. She has her own passionate interests and action directions, and will not stick to a simple and comfortable nest. She actively expands her horizons, which is why her bravery is so valuable. However, the mermaid princess made many sacrifices but received no love. Of course Disney was unwilling to do this, as it would hurt the little girls' hearts too much, so after showing them the silly prince who almost failed the princess, they arranged a happy ending. Beauty and the Beast
With the unprecedented success of "The Mermaid", Disney boldly launched the fifth princess movie in 1991, which was adapted from the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast". I remember it was reported at the time that this film was the first For the first time, a 3D scene was added. Although it was just a few seconds of dancing shots, it had an epoch-making significance.
The girl who is honored as Princess Bell can be said to be among the top 10 most popular princesses in the past, because she has the important label of "intellectual". She is a book addict and is trapped in a book by some chance. When she was in the Beast Prince's castle, it was the massive collection of books that made her feel at ease. Apart from her intellectual abilities, she is self-reliant. Even if she is accompanied by the Beast Prince, she is neither arrogant nor humble in the face of various provocations. She is also considerate and has high emotional intelligence. With her gentle and unyielding character, she gradually makes the seemingly savage prince look like her. After correcting it, it also subtly united everyone.
So this princess is extraordinary, far beyond the previous innocent and ignorant princesses. Pocahontas
This one is different from the previous image of a white-skinned princess. It depicts the daughter of an Indian chief with yellow skin and long black hair. But this woman can be called wild. She has a free spirit as unbridled as the wind. At the same time, she pursues her love boldly and unrestrainedly, even if it is the handsome guy from the enemy camp.
This intellectual and wild Princess Pocahontas, the daughter of a chief, always shakes her long hair and runs freely between fields and waterfalls. She loves nature and is always full of vitality. She does not allow anyone to despise nature and destroy the ecology. Such a straightforward and innocent personality made foreign colonists also fascinated by her. Mulan
In order to fully prepare the material for this movie, Disney brought a large number of manpower and materials to China to collect and learn, so it was launched in 1998 In this "Mulan", we experienced detailed Chinese classical elements from various picture details, from costumes to actions, and even the ancestral halls and memorials that we rarely see are all thoughtfully considered, and there seems to be nothing to fault.
Our traditional hero Hua Mulan has been created to be more mature and complete. She is filial, kind, resolute, obedient to her family education, respects the old and loves the young, treats her comrades with affection and righteousness, and is not to be outdone in the face of danger. , even facing strong enemies can overcome difficulties. Therefore, among the many female characters in Disney, they are almost always represented by generals. One scene that I remember particularly deeply is when Mulan was changing her clothes, to the stirring drumbeat, Mulan cut off her hair, wore a helmet, her handsome face was revealed from the sword, mounted a war horse, and roared. And out. How could I not be moved by how a woman could be so courageous and heroic in such a critical moment, on such a desolate rainy night? Rapunzel
The princess here is not Miss Didi. She used her long hair as a weapon to turn the prince around. The so-called prince has turned into a thief and a liar. He is not as good as the fake prince in "The Princess and the Frog" who eats and drinks.
Rapunzel’s dream is to see the prayer lanterns lit by her father in the distance floating all over the sky every year. It is spectacular at night. Therefore, her dream is to go out of the tower and see it with her own eyes.
Such an unremarkable dream turned him into an innocent and unafraid of the world. He relied on his own strength to make a living, and he was no longer an ordinary princess. Frozen
2013, Disney 3D animation has become increasingly mature, so they came up with a trump card and boldly and innovatively changed the fairy tale "The Snow Queen", creating the classic film "Frozen" that year.
The ruthless Snow Queen in the original work turned out to be a princess who was misunderstood by everyone. She once accidentally injured her sister and could not even control her magic power. Therefore, after her identity was exposed at the coronation ceremony, she decided to He left his relatives and friends to guard the mountains and forests alone.
Although these two princesses have very different personalities, they are very popular, almost surpassing their predecessors in previous generations. One of them is active and the other is quiet. They have a lively younger sister who is sometimes naughty and sometimes cute. The elder sister is always solemn and elegant and cannot be approached. But once she decides to give up her identity as a princess and liberate herself, Queen Fan Chaoqiang, ah, men and women Take it all.
Some girls like Asha’s queenly temperament, while many girls like Anna who is a bit guilty but lively and innocent. Anna leads the development of the plot from beginning to end. She is active, optimistic, and never loses her temper. She can be said to be a classic lively girl, and her many slightly naughty actions make her heart-warming.
Finally, in summary, Disney’s portrayal of so many princess characters has made the image more and more diversified, and it has become closely related to the lives of the public. When we train girls, we have gradually reached a certain understanding, that is, the so-called princess. She cannot be cultivated with a few simple etiquette or aristocratic temperament, let alone a person with good clothes or appearance control. Jiao Didi's princess disease, they certainly require a beautiful image, but they also need a beautiful heart.
