Aladdin: So here we were, early 1990's, and the डिज़्नी Renaissance was at its peek. The studios had produced two of the highest grossing animated films of all time and still were pushing on. However the team suffered a tragic loss with the death of lyricist Howard Ashman who surprisingly had had a large amount of creative input on the पूर्व two films. (He named Ariel) It was even his idea to make the अगला डिज़्नी animated feature, Aladdin released on November 25, 1992. However, much to the disappointment of many, this would be the last picture to showcase a royal fairytale princess for the अगला impending 17 years, Princess Jasmine.

चमेली is unique for a plethora of reasons. One being the fact that she is the only princess of the डिज़्नी Lineup whom the story does NOT revolve around. Not surprisingly, this lends to the fact that researching her is slightly और difficult without deviating into the डिज़ाइन of the other characters.

चमेली is also the first princess of any ethnicity. Keeping in mind that this film was released pre-September 11th, (not to say 9-11 affected the way we view these characters today) but unlike the upcoming princess Tiana in The Princess and the Frog, racial sensitivity and political correctness was surprisingly not as touchy an issue in the creation of a Muslim princess.

In fact, in the book 1001 Arabian Nights the story of अलादीन (and subsequently the princess) was Asian. However अलादीन was most likely not originally apart of the stories dating back to about 1000 A.D., but was added to the compilation द्वारा Antoine Galland, a French author/translator, who published the पुस्तकें in 12 volumes between 1704 and 1717.

While the डिज़्नी version underwent many contemporary changes, the princess’s predicament of being pressured to find a suitor remained relatively the same. However, originally the princess's name was Badroulbadour and was very vain and spoiled.

 चमेली Guy
Jasmine Guy

Obviously, डिज़्नी writers decided to change this personality flaw along with her name to something और 'relatable'. It turns out चमेली was their first choice as it was among the most लोकप्रिय girl names in the early 90's largely due to actress Jasmine Guy. Although some early sketches were based from some of her features, her look came off as too severe.

Yet another unique detail about चमेली is the fact that her final look was not based after any particular celebrity. Mark Henn who has been partially responsible for the डिज़ाइन of every डिज़्नी princess since Ariel, turned to a number of exotic मॉडेल to base चमेली off of but ultimately was dissatisfied. He describes having seen a guest at डिज़्नी World with long black hair and knew he wanted that feature but was having difficulty finding a face for the princess. Eventually Henn looked in his wallet to find a high school graduation चित्र of his younger sister Beth Allen. He did a concept sketch based off of her which the directors liked and ended up approving.

In a similar spirit that incorporated the angular look of medieval tapestries into Sleeping Beauty, Art Director, Bill Perkins wanted to incorporate the look of Arabian text and architecture into Aladdin. Once such place to compare with चमेली is the Taj Mahal. Although, NOT Arabian but Indian, the Taj Mahal is located in the city of Agra which is arguably the inspiration for the fictional city Agrabah. At closer inspection of चमेली आप may notice similar arches and curves in her clothes, jewelry, hair and features.

With the finalized look of princess चमेली being whole-heartedly approved, the directors faced a problem. अलादीन had been developed to be a young, scrawny underdog of a character. However Jeffrey Katzenberg, Disney's then Chairman, believed the romantic chemistry between the two characters would be 'unconvincing' (that the princess would never find him attractive). So, at the last minute, animators were told to make अलादीन older and resemble Tom Cruise. Therefor in this case, Jasmine’s डिज़ाइन influenced that look of the hero.





Many people are unaware of the two major themes representing the Princess which are presented in her first scene. The first is the water fountain. चमेली was chosen to be dressed in a light blue specifically to represent water, the most precious substance one can find in a desert. The princess's first scene was situated अगला to a फव्वारा to emphasize this connection.

The सेकंड theme is a caged bird. Also, in the first scene we see चमेली release birds from their cage. This was meant as a metaphor for her plight; While she is “taken care of [and] provided for” she is caged from a world she has never seen and yearns to be released. We see this theme again in Jasmine's birdcage-shaped boudoir.


The whole concept of चमेली escaping the palace in the dead of night to experience the 'real' world is directly inspired from the 1953 classic Audrey Hepburn film Roman Holiday. Hepburn plays a Princess Ann from a nondescript country visiting Rome. After a slight emotional breakdown, the princess sneaks out of the royal embassy and enjoys living as a regular person for a दिन going द्वारा the name Anya. (which would later be the name used for Don Bluth’s misplaced princess Anastasia) She meets a guy, they fall for each other, her bodyguards come after her...all of which is in Jasmine's story~Great movie. Watch it!

As I've mentioned before, this movie has directly inspired pretty much every डिज़्नी Princess since Sleeping Beauty.



In conclusion, चमेली is an asset to the डिज़्नी Princess lineup. She is a pioneer so to speak, being the first heroine of color डिज़्नी had ever produced. Notably so, every following addition to the Princess lineup has been ethnic with Pocahontas, मूलन and now Tiana. और than that, चमेली represents a fight for civil rights, to fight against laws that stifle life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For this, she continues to represent one of the most important messages to our society today. Whether it be racial tolerance, social hierarchy, civil rights या something more, each person can take a lesson from her and her story. She broke a long-held exclusive bearier for girls (and boys) paving the way in letting children believe that anyone of any race can be a princess and और importantly, to fight for what आप believe in.

Inspired द्वारा Kataralover's video; link I decided to type up a little thing. To be honest I'm rather surprised to type this one as I actually don't really care for Cinderella. However I don't really agree with a lot of the reasons for her character being hated. I guess आप can say that I don't hate Cindy, I don't even dislike her...I just like the other princesses better. The reason I don't care for her centers around the fact that I find her movie boring and therefore can't find her character as fun--hopefully Helena Bonham Carter can spark life into her movie. Anyhow I'm kind of getting off...

Since first of all it's DP Couples महीना and सेकंड Valentine's दिन is coming up in just 3 days so I felt like लेखन an लेख about my प्रिय DP Couples, hope you'll like it

11. मूलन & Shang

I would've liked these two much और if they showed और clearly that they're a couple and not just best friends, basically the sequel is in that way better, there I can see that मूलन & Shang are और than just best friends

10. चमेली & Aladdin

They're higher than मूलन & Shang simply because they दिखाना और clearly that they're a couple, but my biggest problem with them...

I really enjoy गाना and happen to प्यार the DP गाना voices, so I decided to go ahead and write out my सूची and explain my reasonings. This is entirely my opinion, so no hate टिप्पणियाँ please. Without further ado, here's the list:


11. Rapunzel

I प्यार all the DP voices to be honest, so even though she is last I will admit she has a good voice. First of all, she sings with lots of emotion and has a really clear sound to her voice. Her voice सूट्स Rapunzel very well and Mandy Moore really knows how to bring out Rapunzel's personality in the songs. However, although I प्यार Mandy Moore's voice,...

मूलन is obviously one of, if not the most, लोकप्रिय princesses on Fanpop. Given, it may be unneeded for me to write an entire long, wordy, लेख dedicated to her awesomeness. Well, I'm लेखन it anyway!! Enjoy!!

If I had to pinpoint the reason मूलन is my number 1 princess, it's because she balances being relatable and admirable so well. I also प्यार her development, relationships with the characters, and, of course, her flaws!

Relatable:
Mulan is the most relatable princess to me. She's lazy. I'm lazy. She's a klutz. I'm a klutz. We both प्यार our family और than anything and want to please...

13. Aurora
After she was granted the gift of beauty and song, perhaps what Merryweather was going to give her was the gift of personality. Although she has a healthy number of fans, the reality is 18 मिनटों of screentime combined with zero character complexity equals a princess that's bound to be at the bottom of most lists.

"I find Aurora so enchanting. She's elegant, playful, dreamy, and very mysterious because of her lack of screen time. " -audreybrooke

"Life tends to just happen to Aurora. She doesn't do anything to her life. So while she is pretty to look at, I find her to be uninteresting."...

Now I know, they're all beautiful and have special traits and qualities that make them beautiful, but I compiled a सूची of संपूर्ण, कुल मिलाकर beauty!

1.    Aurora
Aurora is beautiful inside and out! She is devastatingly gorgeous from her thick hair to her to the end of her modest एक पंक्ति skirt! She is not too voluptuous but has the perfect size curves! Her face is beautiful, and then she has a graceful and modest personality to go with it!
2.    Cinderella
Cinderella has the prettiest little face and beautiful sparkly blue eyes and thick eyelashes! her lips are full,...

हे everybody! This is my first लेख in a while, so I figured I better start with the classic list. Hope आप guys enjoy it!

13. Rapunzel
previously 11
Ok, let me just get this off my chest right away. I find Rapunzel somewhat annoying. *dodges flying piano* I apologize to her legions of प्रशंसकों but that is my opinion. Despite this, don’t think that I dislike her. I actually find her really relatable, and I greatly admire her bravery in chasing her dreams. I guess what keeps her so low on my सूची is that I find her sickeningly sweet. It gets to the point where I just don’t enjoy watching her...

Here the first part of the best डिज़्नी Princess minor villain count down. Since there are thirty-three characters in the count down there will a total of three लेखाए each with eleven characters. Remember this isn't my personal opinion, these were voted द्वारा the fans. Enjoy!

Scary Trees (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) I'm not surprised they were the first to go since they pose no actual threat to Snow White. They're very scary but in reality they're just trees.
 Just... Urgh, they are the WORST part of the movie! I always skip them!_PrueFever

Hello! I’ve seen a lot of लेखाए ranking various things, and I decided to do a countdown that I haven’t seen yet (then again, I’ve only been on here for about two weeks). So without further ado, here’s my Comprehensive Ranking of the डिज़्नी Princes. Feel free to disagree with me! I’m used to having unpopular opinions.


11. Snow White’s Prince (“One Song”)
 "ONE SONG! I have but ONE SOOONG!"
"ONE SONG! I have but ONE SOOONG!"

Now, I know his name isn’t actually One Song, but it’s the backbone of his defining scene. And really? It's not that impressive. No offense, One Song प्रेमी (are there any?),...
