People give the Disney Princesses flak for needing to be rescued, but they hardly ever take into account how often the Princesses do the rescuing.
Cinderella: Constantly saves her animal friends from traps and Lucifer the house cat (also unknowingly saves the Grand Duke from a beheading)
Ariel: Saves her love interest from drowning and saves Flounder and Sebastian from becoming sea food ( the former from a shark and the latter from a sadistic chef)
Belle: Saves her father from life imprisonment in the Beast’s castle, saves the Beast from falling to his death after being stabbed, and breaks the curse on the Beast and the entire castle staff
Pocahontas: Saves her love interest from execution and prevents a war between her people and his
Mulan: (I know I don’t need to say it, but I will anyway) Saves herself and the Chinese army from being slaughtered by the Huns, saves her love interest from falling to his death, and saves the entire country of China from Shan Yu
Tiana: Saves herself and her love interest from the frog hunters, saves New Orleans from Dr. Facilier, and broke the curse put on herself and her love interest
Rapunzel: Ressurects her love interest from death and helped herself and her friends escape from a flooding cave
Merida: Saves her mother from being killed by her own father and breaks her mother’s curse
Anna: Saves her sister from being murdered and saves her love interest from falling off a cliff
Elsa: Breaks the eternal winter curse on her kingdom
Moana: Saves a demi-god from being eaten by a giant crab, saves a goddess from an eternity of committing rage and violence, and saves the world from Ta Ka’s curse
And this is only taking the Princesses’ original movies into account. I didn’t even include the things they’ve done in sequels, TV shows, and other media. Moral of the story is: the Disney Princesses are awesome. You guys are just mean.
