Best 디즈니 Princess Movie Moral (as voted 의해 the public)

posted by princesslullaby

9.Sleeping Beauty: True 사랑 conquers all.
Coming in last place is Sleeping Beauty's moral, "True 사랑 Conquers All". While many of us agree this would be a wonderful moral, it doesn't apply to real life. In real life, true 사랑 rarely conquers anything. Certainly in real life it wouldn't conquer something to the equivalent of Maleficent. While it's a wonderful moral that everyone wishes were true, sadly it isn't, which is understandably why it gained last place in our countdown.

"True 사랑 can't didn't conquere Hitler, 9/11, 또는 the Vietnam War. Actually, the 더 많이 I think about it, doesn't 사랑 usually act as the beginning of a problem." (queenbee13)

"If true 사랑 conquered all, then there would be no War on Terror, 또는 dictators (cough*Castro*cough) 또는 diseases. True 사랑 can conquer a lot, but not those things." firegirl1515

8.Cinderella: Be kind & have faith and 당신 will be rewarded.
While many of us agree this is wonderful moral to live by, and certainly doesn't hurt to follow, many of us also agree that it just isn't true. There are many kind, wonderful people who go through hardships, and many spoiled, terrible people who get what they want all the time. Unfortunately, in the real world, it isn't always so. This moral was also condoned for being sort of passive, in that it's not a very proactive moral to live by.

"This one has the impression of handing over responsibility for your happiness to a third party "Oh, I'll just sit here being nice, and joy will come when karma gets off it's 나귀, 엉덩이 and hands it to me'. Your happiness is your own responsibility to work for and find, 당신 can't outsource a job like that." (Asvini)

"This one would be a good moral but many people in this world are treated harshly and cold without the situation ever getting better. A cruel reality, but no one can change it." (queenbee13)

3. Snow White & the Seven Dwarves: Always make the best out of a bad situation.
All in all, this is a great moral to live by. It helps keep people from diving into depression and makes them see the bright side of bad situations. It's like "every 구름, 클라우드 has a silver lining." There's always a good side after every storm. However, it doesn't always help to sugar 코트 things. Sometimes it can be detrimental to be realistic about a situation instead of immediately being optomistic about it.

"Hopelessness is good sometimes. Once 당신 get over it, a lot of times you're 더 많이 determined and powerful than before." (firegirl1515)

"somebody is going to push me off a cliff
well at least I'll have a nice dive
Sounds stupid doesn't it?" (BKG201)

6.The Little Mermaid: Never give up going after your dreams, even in the face of hardship.
It's always good to go after your dreams and never give up. Nothing should stop 당신 from going after what 당신 really want, even if the going gets tough. While this moral is good at face value, a lot of people didn't like the way Ariel represented it in The Little Mermaid. Perhaps Tiana represents it better- she went after her dreams without leaving her family 또는 making bad decisions. So while no one seemed to dislike the moral itself, they didn't seem to like the way it was represented 의해 Ariel.

"I guess I'll go with this one, based on the things that happened due to Ariel's decisions." (SunBurst)

"I like all of them but I find this one a bit boring." (sweetie-94)

5. Pocahontas: The only way to have peace is to accept others.
Pocahontas has a lot of morals. "Don't judge a book 의해 its cover." "Hatred only breed violence." But the main moral it stressed was that only 의해 having peace, could Pocahontas and John be together. While this moral applies in the movie rather well, it's not altogether applicable in real life. Just 의해 accepting someone doesn't mean that 당신 can have peace with them. There are 더 많이 steps to it than that.

"(It is not only about the peace among countries and peoples, it is about all people, well for me it's a big trouble sometimes to accept people with different opinions, especially when I'm sure these opinions are wrong... So it's really good one)" (ppv)

"I dunno...I don't think accepting others is the ONLY way to have peace...if I accept terrorists like Osama and just go along with what he does that isn't going to give us peace...it will just makes things worse IMO. I do however think that to have peace 당신 have to meet in the middle." (DreamyGal)

4.Mulan:Anyone can be a hero.
I think this is a great moral, and in my personal opinion, the best. Really, if 당신 think about it, anyone CAN be a hero, whether young, old, small, large, short, tall, any race, any gender. Even a baby can be a hero 의해 teaching someone a lesson about caring for young ones. But then again, in that instance, hero is too broad a term. A baby
can never 그네, 스윙 in and save someone's life, but it can teach a lesson in a subtle way. However, is someone a hero just because they teach a lesson? In a small amount yes, but I think the moral is just too broad and vague.

"I don't think everyone can be a hero. It's a wrong moral." (ppv)

"I sorta agree with Mulan's moral, but in my opinion the ones that are left are 더 많이 important." (DreamyGal)

3.Beauty and the Beast:Beauty is found within.
This is really a great moral, and very applicable to real life. Beauty truly is found only within. Of course, 당신 can have beauty on the surface, but inner beauty is what's most important when it comes to real life. 당신 can never have a real relationship 또는 really care about someone who has no inner beauty. However, people said while this moral is good, it's not as important 또는 meaningful as the other ones left.

"This is a good moral but it won't get 당신 out of hard situatians that don't involve this." (BKG201)

"There are 더 많이 important issues than where beauty comes from. Sure, it's important but not as important as achieving peace, not losing sight of what matters in life, and being true to yourself." (dweeb)

2.Aladdin:Be yourself
This is another moral I really like. It's been stressed all of our lives to be ourselves, and I think this is a great moral. It's always important to be yourself, because that's the only way to let your true talents shine through. Even in Mulan, a totally different 디즈니 movie, 뮬란 sings a whole song about how no one respects her for who she truly is. 당신 can never be truly happy unless 당신 are yourself. However, some users pointed out that people can be evil to the bone, and therefore, 당신 wouldn't want them to be themselves.

"I've said this a couple times, but it sums up my basic point, Jafar was being himself when he was being the villain, wasn't he?" (Asvini)

"Some people are born sociopaths. In their cases, this wouldn't be a very good lesson to teach at all." (SunBurst)

1.The Princess and the Frog: Never lose sight of what's really important.
This moral is applicable to almost all the other morals on this list. And it's 더 많이 important than the others to. If 당신 lose sight of what's important, a lot of the points of the other morals are moot.

"princess and the frog is a great moral!!!" (Gleek4Ever)

""Never lose sight of what's really important" is the best moral in my opinion:) " (tiffany88)

Persephone713 Yeah, I disagree with the top two as well. I get so sick and tired of hearing " Just be yourself" I can almost see why Aladdin tried to be someone he wasnt. For me Beauty is found within should be the Top moral because today, everything is shallow and superficial.

SunBurst A pretty good list overall. But, personally, I'd switch Aladdin and Mulan's places.

dweeb I think it's funny how you can find a bad moral in all of them by using your imagination. Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs: invite creepy strangers in to your house and eat their sketchy food, you'll be rewarded Cinderella: sit around and hope a fairy comes to save you from an abusive life, and marry the first hot rich guy you see Sleeping Beauty: if you're a useless hottie, things will work out, only ugly people have sad endings The Little Mermaid: if you see a hottie who lives far away from you, ditch your family, friends, your voice and your entire life for a three day shot at seducing him or you'll be a drag queen's prisoner Beauty and the Beast: if a guy locks up your dad for no reason, forces you to be his prisoner, threatens to starve you, yells at you and scares the shit out of you and throws things to intimidate you, stick around and he might turn nice Aladdin: lying and manipulating will get you the girl and then just save her and your lies will have never even happened Pocahontas: even racists can change theyre mind if they meet a super hot foreign chick Mulan: A girl dressing up like a boy to do something is noble, but when three guys dress like girls to help win a war, it's a total joke and the cool male lead won't do it The Princess and the Frog: You're not complete unless you have romance in your life and no accomplishment matters if you're alone

dancing_dear Cool list but I don't think the moral of Mulan is "anyone can be a hero". Its more like "The flower the blooms in adversity is the most beautiful of them all". Mulan feels like she is out of place, doesn't fit in and "Will never bring her family honor" so she joins the army to save her fathers life and ends up saving China. So I guess the moral would be more like The unexpected underdog can be the most valuable person. "A single grain of rice can tip the scale"

Genius_626 I agree with all of it!

Duncan-superfan LOL dweeb! XD I actually agree with the whole order, but thats just me. I do think that most of these disney morals are all too similar in the movies, though.... Just a thought.. I do think that these movies have BAD morals and ideas as well. For example just look at dweeb's comment! She is exactly right on that. Sorry for my small rant. ^^'

MeaghanDavis I love the Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast:)

TigerRanma "The Princess and the Frog: You're not complete unless you have romance in your life and no accomplishment matters if you're alone" This is my problem. This is actually exactly how I think each day. I think "Never lose sight of what's really important" is too vague for me. What is really important? To yourself or society? My friend was just telling me, "A lot of criminals do bad things for money to support their families. They're doing the wrong thing but technically they're keeping in mind "whats really important", which to them is getting the money for their family." But either way, good article.

Mermaid-Tail ^^ I think the idea of what's really important is living a life that's full, happy and ethical. It can't be just whatever you decide is most important, because the point of the movie was Tiana learning her priorities were wrong, so for her to be wrong there must be (in the movie's logic) a specific goal that is right, not just whatever vague idea you settle on. Like those criminals you mentioned, they don't have to commit crime for their families, they could support them by getting a job like everyone else does. Choosing to harm or inconvenience others by committing crime instead of providing in an ethical way shows they have lost sight of what's important. That's just how I take it though Good article, even if the order isn't exactly what I'd have gone with :)

DreamyGal Great article!

LisaForde Excellent.

cromulanfav I would just like to state that I'm not princesslullaby's follower. I used that comment thing only in my hairstyle countdown, because it was long and I bothered people to comment, so I thought including their comments in article, since I bored them to death to comment, would be nice way to thank them. I really find offensive when someone says that I copy someone, because I always try to be as more original as possible. Anyway, great article, as always :)

princesslullaby and anyway, I usually don't mind when people copy me. I think it's flattering. Everyone's been using the quotes idea, so, whatever.

ppv I love your article. But disagree with the list, with most of it. Especially with being True love conquers all the last in the list. It's not that true love rarely conquers anything, it is because there's no so much of really true love... Well, anyway I love the article!

SkylerJett Cool! Well written. I personally think [i]Cinderella[/i] has the worst moral and [i]Aladdin[/i] has the best one, though I've never watched PATF.

abrrsb100 I think it was a really good article!

DisneyDusty I think some people interpreted Cinderella's moral wrong. People pointed out that bad things happen to good people all the time. Yes. Like how Cinderella herself was good but recieved bad things for a long time! But then, finally, something very good happened to her. Also, when you are kind and good, and others see it (like friends or a godmother), they often will try to return it or reward you. And if people see bad things are happening to you, they often try to help you. It can also stretch to mean if you are good and kind you will be rewarded...on Earth or eventually...in Heaven. Also, Cinderella did not sit on her ass being nice, she worked to be nice to people, she cared about people (and animals) and she got cared for back. I can also see being kind and good as working towards your goal to get what you want. Usually being kind and good involves doing things which lead to something you get.

Mermaid-Tail ^ I don't think people misinterpreted Cinderella's moral, people were just having to look at the bad points of each to decide which to vote out, it's not that people didn't see the good in hers, just that the other side of hers is that she spent so much time focusing on other people's happiness it got completely in the way of her being proactive about her own, and led to her being a doormat, and you can be nice without being walked all over like she was. I think Cinderella has a very sweet moral, but agree with it's place on the list :)

Mongoose09 'Be yourself' is number 2? LOL sorry but i actually laughed out loud at that, how ridiculous. But anyway good article :) The #1 is good.

juniper427 I think Pocahontas should have been first. People seen to take the moral the wrong way. The only way to have peace is to accept others, however they need to accept you as well. DreamyGal pointed out that she can't accept terrorist, but if the terrorist followed this moral and accepted other peoples differences they wouldn't be terrorists. Pocahontas moral is something akin to "there can not be peace, while there is hate"

faya27 I'm not too crazy about "Be Yourself" moral. It doesn't work well for people who have too many faults (like me) or who are evil to the bone. Sometimes, it's better to pretend to be someone else so, you can have more friends.

dimitri_ Loved this article... it's one of my favorites.

wavesurf Hmm. I staunchly disagree with number 1, basically because the manner in which the characters go about finding "what is really important in life" is too vague. What is really important? Tiana's dream of the restaurant? True love? Family? "What is really important in life is TOTALLY arbitrary, and is highly subjective. No one person can say "family is the most important" to someone whose "family" actually abused them. No one can say, the most important thing in life is marriage, to someone who is uninterested ( and who keeps meeting real-life guys who are jerks just like Naveen and Kristoff ). With males like them, why would you want any romance of ANY KIND? These men only LOVE THEMSELVES! If you're female, you'll get treated like trash! And somehow, the "follow your dreams" aspect is tied to getting married for the sake of getting married. Eh? The "falling for each other" thing is not even well-developed in TPATF. It's just stuck on there like extra pizza topping. Also, being yourself is AWFUL if you are constantly the target for bullies at work, at school, in social interactions, etc. Part of me can see why Aladdin hesitated to show who he genuinely was. Shunning is a very powerful weapon in the social world. So...maybe these top two morals are not very good. I do find B and the Beast's moral quite timeless because when you are sixty years old, you can appreciate character instead of flash-in-the-pan physical shallowness. Cinderella's moral about "having patience" really pays off. I fail to see why that one ranks low. I also don't see why "never giving up on your dreams in the face of hardship," or "the flower that blooms in adversity is the most beautiful one of all" is an inferior moral to "never losing sight of what is really important." "Never losing sight of what is really important" IS NOT a moral. It's a blanket statement that ANYBODY can use to justify what is "important to them." But that's my opinion.

UnholyNoise ^ "Never lose sight of what's really important" is definitely a moral! It's stated a little vaguely here but PATF makes the lesson pretty explicit: you shouldn't get so caught up in your ambitions that you neglect the rest of your life, as Tiana did. She was close to getting her restaurant, sure, but at the cost of having zero friends, no serious relationships with anybody except for her mom, working herself into an early grave, etc etc. Her ordeal makes her realize that those things matter to her, too, just as much as her ambitions. And that getting her restaurant isn't worth much if she really doesn't have anybody to share it with.
