Greetings!
Today, we look at C and O's favorite Disney princesses.
Let's go.

Belle is the Disney princess with whom I first fell in love. That's likely because of our shared strong love for reading. Belle is also a dreamer. She might live in a small town, but she wants to go out and see the world. But more than that, she wants an adventure. And she certainly finds it!
The rest of the fairy tale/Disney movie features Belle living an adventure straight out of one of her story books. And, this is likely my second favorite thing about Belle, she rises to the challenge of adventure. She makes new friends in a house full of strangers. She learns to make a new life in an unfamiliar world. Yes, she falls in love, but that does not make her any less of a feminist. Belle finds someone to love her exactly as she is, and she feels the same way about The Beast (Prince Adam, if you like).
P.S. I do not feel the same way about the Belle on Once Upon a Time. The writers ruined her. Belle deserves better

Let's take a moment to appreciate Caroline's favorite Disney Princess...
Cinderella
Cinderella gets a bad rep for being helpless and having everything handed to her. People think she was just rescued by a Prince and called it a day. I'm gonna shed some light on this subject!
Take a step back and realize how tragic her story is. Her mother died when she was a child and her father married Lady Tremaine and Cinderella was given two step-sisters.
Still as a child, Cinderella's father passed away and her step-mother and step-sisters quickly forced Cinderella into a servant position in her own home.
Never complaining aloud or making a fuss, Cinderella went about her life serving her own family.
Blah blah blah she was super kind to animals and the mice and whatever...
CINDERELLA NEVER ASKED TO BE SAVED.
Talking about the Ball, Cinderella got invited and she did everything asked of her so she could go spend one night dancing. That's all she wanted. One night off to go to an event she was openly invited to.
Fast forwarding...
Cinderella's step-sisters destroy the dress she planned on wearing (mind you, it was the last thing Cinderella owned that belonged to her dead mother) and SURPRISE!!! Fairy Godmother.
Just look at that.
Cinderella's transformation was one of Walt Disney's most favorite scenes.
Cinderella dances with the prince, not knowing he's the prince. Then she leaves.
That's all she went there for! This lady just wanted one night to go dancing. The end!
Fast forwarding...
Whatshisface (seriously the prince's name ranges from "Charming" to "Henry" to "Alto August Ferdinand") heads out, finds the girl and takes her away.
Briefly touching on the sequels, Cinderella holds no grudges towards her family. She even assists Anastasia in finding love! Also, Lucifer finds love but let's not get into that...
The third movie is fantastic. Absolutely. Cinderella reveals just how badass she is.
Just look at this ONE screenshot.
Plus, Cinderella III is where we find this gem:
So yeah, Cinderella is pretty fantastic.
That's kind of all I have to say about that.
