3 Disney's Non-Princess Female Characters We Should Give More Credit To
Not every girl needs to be a princess to be happy.
Disney princesses are surely the real treasures of all time in the history of animated movies. They have had a huge impact on pop culture and have captivated fans for many, many years.
But besides the famous princesses, there are many other female characters in the Disney world. The ones that have also inspired children and adults for many generations.
Here are 5 examples where the true heroes were overlooked simply because of their non-princess status.
1. Sally the doll
Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of the world's best Christmas-themed movies. However, it's not your favorite jolly tale, but a much more complicated one. And the only thing in the whole movie that really gives you comfort is the patchwork rag doll Sally.
Sally, with her one-of-a-kind appearance and spirited nature, touches hearts with her resilience and intelligence. She is a powerful reminder that strength is not only defined by physical capabilities, but also by the powers of empathy and wisdom.
2. Mrs. Potts
Not only is Mrs. Potts from Disney's Beauty and the Beast not a princess, she is not even human. But that doesn't really matter in our case, because she shows so much warmth and wisdom that it's hard to imagine that someone like her could actually exist in the world.
Her generosity and ability to find joy in the most ordinary things is a powerful reminder to younger people of just how important kindness really is. And taking care of every relationship in your life is a total necessity.
3. Nala the lioness
Nala is perhaps the only female character in The Lion King who truly exemplifies courage and determination. From a young age, Nala proves her bravery and fearlessness when she dares to venture beyond the Pride Lands in search of help during Scar's tyrannical rule.
Her strong spirit and faith in doing the right thing make her an inspiring role model.
