The Princess is the one that learns something from the Prince and not the other way around... I dislike the trope of the guy having to change.

Also the Princess is older option, because I just don't like that age always gets in the way, especially when the girl is older. Yes, there are limitations of course! It's not always okay but for a lot of misunderstood cases it is IMO.

The pictures don't always fit the correspondent definition, for some it's the opposite.

All the modern couples do this, and I'm kinda getting tired of it.

Kristoff learns to like people because of Anna.
Flynn learns he can be loved and not be a thief because of Rapunzel.
Naveen learns he doesn't have to be a player because of Tiana.

and and an older princess!

I guess.

:)

And the Princess does all of the chasing and the Princess is unattractive and the Prince is attractive.

Especially not taller. If the princess is taller than the prince, their kissing scene would be awful! XD

That would be AWESOME.

I'd enjoy this.
Didn't we technically already have one where the princess does the chasing. (Ariel)

We ALREADY HAD the princess LEARN something from the prince: Shang teaches Mulan how to fight!!!!!
Ariel already pursued Eric.

This is the only one I really think is not often seen: have the princess be older than the prince.

We already have a princess that learns something from the prince: Tiana learns how to have fun from Naveen. Ariel pursues Eric. Technically Kida IS the princess that's older than her prince. While the film didn't become as popular as Disney hoped and thus she didn't make the official lineup, she's there.

Anyway, this is my vote. I know Disney will never make a truly unattractive princess (we'll get "Hollywood Homely" at worst), but I would like a more plain or less conventionally attractive princess with a more outright gorgeous prince.

We already have TONS of "beauty is on the inside as long as it's the guy" stories all over fiction. Even in Disney, whose romantic heroines are always gorgeous, and whose "one hot, one not" stories always paint the woman as the beauty and the man as unattractive. (Belle and the Beast, and Esmeralda / Madeline and Quasi in both movies.

(I love how both Quasimodo's crushes in both movies are drop dead gorgeous, yet the whole "look past ugly appearance to see the personality" lesson only apply to them for him. I'm not saying Quasi should only fall for ugly women, or suggest he doesn't love them for their personalities, because I know he does. I also know Esmeralda's beauty is a HUGE plot point in the first film because it had it's OWN lesson about judging women based on their beauty and the dangers of the Madonna/Whore Complex. THE SEQUEL, HOWEVER... If personality is really all that matters, why couldn't the WRITERS have created a girl who's homely and misunderstood like him, but whose personality draws him anyway? Ugly women exist too and want to be loved too, not just men.)

While I hate Cinderella II, Anastasia's subplot about falling for a common baker really struck me in a number of ways. She's probably the only conventionally unattractive female "protagonist" of her own story in all children's media who still finds love. While she's drawn more softly in the sequel than the first movie, she's still not conventionally attractive, intelligent, or has the best past, but she's still shown as being deserving (and capable!) of gaining love as all the drop-dead gorgeous heroines we see all over visual media.

^Yeah but Naveen also had to change, what if the Prince was an all around good guy who grounds the girl.

Ariel does pursue Eric, but ''the girl doing all the chasing'' is still not seen so much in anything.

On Tiana: So a princess learning something from the prince is cancelled out just because he learned something too?

On Ariel: Regardless, we already have a princess who does all the chasing. We also don't see practically any "homelier girl with handsomer guy" in anything either (I can count on my fingers how many movies I've seen where a plainer girl gets a lovelier guy without getting a model-gorgeous makeover first) but we also don't have ANY Disney princesses like that.

No it's not cancelled out, I just mean I want to see one where the guy doesn't change at all because we see that all the time. That's why I added ''not the other way around'' but it was too long in the poll.

SO MUCH. This NEVER happens, the woman ALWAYS has to be right and the man is stupid or arrogant and needs to be taught a lesson.

though we already have plenty of princesses doing the chasing.

The Princess is the one that learns something from the Prince and not the other, he Princess is unattractive and the Prince is attractive or The Princess is older than the Prince.
This are awesome.
