Which Disney princess are you?As if Facebook didn’t already offer enough tempting ways to waste time, apparently they’ve now developed their very own line of quizzes, too. Recently I got a message in my news feed telling me that one of my cousins had taken this quiz, and discovered that if she was a Disney princess, she would be Pocahontas:
Since my cousin is an environmentally aware outdoor adventurer who works for a company that cleans up oil spills, this sounds plausible enough to me. Looking at the quiz, I also thought it was completely cool that it was gay-friendly (asking “What kind of guy/girl do you like?”). Personally, though, I didn’t feel I needed to take a test to work out which one of the Disney princesses I was. Ever since the brunette Belle wandered into the early scenes of Beauty and the Beast, her head buried so deep in a book that she barely noticed what was going on around her, I knew I had found a Disney heroine I could identify with:
I’m still convinced that the main reason she married the Beast was because she’d seen his library. According to this interview from last summer, Harry Potter star Emma Watson always saw herself as Ariel from The Little Mermaid: At about the six-minute mark — and between bouts of cracking up — she tries to explain the whole Disney princess thing to Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint: “You know everyone has their own ‘Disney princess’ — well, actually you won’t know, you didn’t have your own Disney princess — but, yeah, most young girls choose one which they’re like, ‘Oh yeah,’ like aspire to be, and mine was always the Little Mermaid. And my Dad will kill me for saying this, but for my fifth birthday party he dressed up as King Triton, which was so cool — my little brother was Sebastian — it was fantastic!”
Of course, until recently the Disney princesses were only representative of a minority of the female population anyway. The early ones — Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel and Belle — were all white, and it wasn’t until 1992 that the first Middle Eastern princess, Jasmine, appeared in Aladdin:
Since then, and perhaps in an attempt to diversify, Mulan and Pocahontas have been included as part of the official Disney Princess franchise, even though they are not technically princesses (this inclusion may also have something to do with that fact that more Official Princesses = an opportunity for Disney to sell more merchandise). Last year, Sarah wrote about the fact that early plans were underway for a ninth Disney princess to appear in a 2-D animation adaptation of The Princess and the Frog, to be released in 2009. Voiced by Dreamgirls star Anika Noni Rose, Princess Tiana will be the long-overdue first African-American Disney princess:
The question this leaves me pondering is: who do the gay girls have as their princess? Of course, there’s no reason you have to identify with a princess at all — it doesn’t take much googling to find a “Which Disney prince are you?” quiz. But what that leaves me reflecting is that the Disney princes are a pretty dull bunch. The girls may have their own issues — let’s not even get started on how freakishly skinny the typical Disney heroine is — but the princes often have virtually nothing to do, other than come on at the end and break the magic spell. I suppose the Beast has got a bit of a personality and some character development, but it’s hard to identify very far with, say, Ariel’s dumb hunk of a Prince Eric. As far as I can see, the best thing the gay girls have is Mulan.
While she does admittedly have a boyfriend, she also has the theme song “Reflection” (sung by Christina Aguilera), which has some of the gayest lyrics I have ever heard: What do you think? Who’s “your” Disney princess (or prince)? Do you have one? Or do you see them merely as the evil source of all body issues and eating disorders for ever afterward?

Hey, I took this quiz on
Hey, I took this quiz on fb, just like countless others, and I am Belle. There was also a video that came with it and it was from the begining when she was wondering through town with her nose in book.

A tie?
Apparently, according to the quiz, I'm a tie between Belle and Pocahontas. I guess that sounds about right.
The Princesses are definitely a marketing ploy. I remember when I went to Ireland, I was staying with a friend of mine and her daughter's room (where I slept that whole week) was Disney's Princesses themed. I thought I was close to the brink of madness b/c I was there to get away from the American over-commercialization ideals...but I'd basically jumped out of the pressure cooker and into the frying pan really.
The sad thing is that I worked at Disney World a couple of summers ago and even though they'd included Pocahontas and Jasmine (but still no Mulan..my personal fav.) in the shows and acts and photo-ops, they were still portrayed by the same girls who played Ariel, Aurora, Cinderella, etc. and they were all young skinny White girls. If you were a minority and wanted to work a character, best pick one that came with a head and gloves.
same
I got the same result.
They sound alot like who I am.
Jasmine
I'm Jasmine. Not really sure why but okay. I'd have much preferred Belle or Cinderella. Phooey.

Haha that song really has
Haha that song really has the gayest lyrics ever.
I'm a tie between Cinderella and Pocahontas. Yay!
If the apocalypse comes, beep me.
Ariel..
I'm Ariel and Pocahontas...
I got the same
Belle...
"Think Sideways"
Ariel
Yay i'm ariel ^_^
I always wanted to be her aswell ^_^ She was my favourite disney princess by far:D
the song
Well...
Of all the Disney Princesses, I always most closely identified as Mulan (I didn't have to see the music vid; I still know every word of "Reflection"), but I would most like to date Jasmine... Wait, do Megara and Esmerelda count? Here's what the quiz said:
You are Belle. You are strong, deep, and you are not a slave to petty superficial things. You are independent and allow yourself to see inner beauty without sacrificing your values. You are almost too good of a person.
Wait, what? I'm Belle? I would NEVER wear that yellow fluffy thing!
(Okay, I have one almost exactly like it in red that I got only a couple of years ago... but who doesn't want to wear a Disney Princess-type dress once in thier life?)

Obsessive? Me? Never!
ive always been attracted to ariel
......but the quiz said im belle but i dont know why cause i would never fall for a beast
i would rather be ariel her seashells are hot and i have always had a thing for mermaids i always wished i was one
Pocahontas
Hmmm...I guess I'll take this. I've just never liked this movie. I'd so much rather be Jasmine...But it might just be that I'd prefer to DATE Jasmine. Pocahontas herself is cool I guess.
I'm...
It's a tie
I'm a tie between Jasmine and Cinderella. That's not good. Both of them annoy me highly.

hehehe
I got cinderella! how depressing.

Technically ...
Mulan is NOT a princess. I know disney touts her as one, but she's not. She doesn't even marry a Prince - she marries a general. However, she does fill out some otherwise sorely lacking diversity.
And as far my relationship with any disney characters, I've always related more to the talking animals, or the villains. I have received the application request numerous times and turned it down. Because I don't really care which princess I am.

Me as Princess
I too have gotten Pocahontas. That kind of appeals to me as my g/f is 100% Cherokee (and no, I didn't cheat).
This quiz failed
I got Cinderella for some reason. Then I took the test again and got Pocahontas. I don't know why. I don't think I'm very much like either of them.
I'm obsessive, so obviously I had to go and take five other quizzes. They all got it right: five out of five times I got Belle. That's the way it's supposed to be.
Btw, the Harry Potter kids really didn't know the state abbreviations? Even I know most of them and I live in Finland!
I'm Pocahontas...
Which, I can understand...then I took the "What Action Hero are you" quiz....
and I am
Yep...MacGyver..which ABSOLUTELY makes sense!! I rock!!
Jasmine! yeah
I'm jasmine I'm happy now I can go and date mulan and we'll be the biggest disney step towards integration!
You are Jasmine. You are loyal and would visit the ends of the earth for what you believe. You would never let obstacles stand in the way of true love.
the best part of it is that at the end of the test I found a link to "in what hogwart's house would you be?" and thank you very much I would be in Gryffindor!!
The Sorting Hat would put you in Gryffindor. You are bold, passionate, and brave. You have a highly-defined sense of right and wrong, and you are not afraid to speak your mind or fight for what you want
And now a good part of my evening is good and I'm blaming you!
"I'm gonna give you all a nice, fun, normal evening even if I have to kill every person on the face of the Earth to do it"
I tied...
between Jasmine and Pocahontas!
But I gotta say I like Jasmine a little bit more... I dunno why, maybe because I've always wanted to have a pet tiger! lol
I remember when I was
I remember when I was little I hated Disney so much! It pissed me off so much that Cinderella didn't do anything to fix her horrible situation and the price had to rescue her ass. It wasn't until a couple of years later when I saw Aladdin, and I fell in love with Jasmin, that I started to like Disney. I still hate Cinderella, but I like some of the other Disney's princess.
Oh, and I'm Pocahontas, I expected Belle since I love books so much... oh well.
lol
"While she does admittedly have a boyfriend, she also has the theme song “Reflection” (sung by Christina Aguilera), which has some of the gayest lyrics I have ever heard"
XD lmao! thanks for making my day :D haha <3
Oohh Emma...
She's so adorable.
"Good question from Melissa in Juneau, A K."
"Oooh, check you out."
"You'd rather die than have to kiss me?!"
I loved Aladdin when I was little and I would literally watch it every day despite my brother constantly complaining about it. I got Cinderella who I don't remember at all. If I had a choice I would be Mulan (even though she's not really a princess) because I remember watching the movie for the first time and thinking that she was the epitome of cool and a tiny bit gay, but that was just my wishful thinking.
oh the laughs
I don't feel like taking a quiz, but i know that i'd subconsciously cheat and try to get Mulan if i did. "Mulan" is my favorite Disney movie. To this day, it's one of the movies i watch when i'm having a rough time. And yes, i still get teary-eyed when Mulan's father says, "The greatest gift and honor is having you for a daughter."
I'm a dork.

Did both quizes
So I did the princess one and found and did a prince quiz too. Turns out I'm Jasmine and Hercules... ??
Hercules has got to be the most masculine disney character ever created. I swear I'm not that butch.

I'm definitely a Belle.

You're right about "REFLECTION"

I got Jasmine...yea!! :)

I Got Tie for Belle and Jasmine
Between the lines
No favorite..
No favorite Princess for me. I did and still enjoy watching "The Little Mermaid" and "Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella" (with Brandy) and I had seen "Cinderella" with Lesley Ann Warren a few times when younger. Her dress to me was sooo pretty!! It still is. Also I like "If the Shoe Fits", Jennifer Grey in that movie is pretty. In addition, there is a Cinderella movie called "Cindy" with Charlayne Woodard, I had seen it once when younger.
I do not care for some Disney princess animated movies like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.
I did not take the quiz.
Oh, I cannot wait to see "Princess and the Frog"!!!
Oh I'm Cinderella. Does that
Bleck!
You are Pocahontas. You
You are Pocahontas. You defy convention and sometimes do what is considered taboo. Unfortunately, others do not always appreciate your differences, so it's good that you are so strong-willed. You are loyal and you believe in fate. Your true love will find you one day.
You are Ariel...
You are part Ariel. You are beautiful but impaired. At times you are naive. Still, your innocence and good heart make you sought after and loved.
Woot! the girl with the "daddy issues"! But you know this does ring true for me although I would have wanted Pocahontas, her hair/body is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! My personality is more like her but my life is definately Ariel.
