There are some things that you can always expect from a Disney Princess film, below are what I consider to be the cardinal rules of every Disney Princess fairytale.
1. Thou shall be beautiful, graceful and have an amazing singing voice
The apparent correlation between beauty and goodness is a cornerstone of this fairytales belief system.
2. Thou shall fall in love at first sight, or rather first encounter.
No real sort of courtship or relationship building is needed, love is an instantaneous determination.
3. True love shall conquer all things.
With the help of a little magic ‘true love’ overcomes all things, even death and the ultimate convention of the Disney Princess film that is coming from two different worlds.
4. Thou shall live happily ever after with Prince Charming
Not only does the perfect man exist for every girl, but after overcoming whatever adversities to find love, happiness is never ending.
5. Thou shall dream; dreams will save you from your life circumstances.
Every Disney Princess yearns for something more than what their life circumstances have provided. The place they yearn for is usually not simply just a place where they fit in, but the arms of Prince Charming.
