I've seen people who have said Anna and Elsa are feminists, um, I don't think they are.. At all.

Somewhat... Take Jasmine, for an example: in-universe, she's one of the most feminist princess, since she actively voices her opinions and demands and fights for her rights. But looking at it from a broader view, she's actually one of the worst in that judgement, because she's incompetent (she fails everytime she tries to take action) and her role in the story is basically being Aladdin's love interest and motivation: a prize to be won.
Rapunzel I consider a good example of a feminist character. She is intelligent and proactive, earns the respect of the males in the movie and proceeds to assume her role as a sovereign after the ending.

Anna and Elsa... I'll be rewatching Frozen tonight. Until them, I cannot pass them proper judgement.

Snow White and Aurora are around the bottom in my feminist princesses list (though the former is probably higher than Jasmine) and Cinderella is near the middle, I think.

Most of the princesses have feminist "traits." I say that very loosely. Because all of them will never fit the feminist definition. :P

I agree with avatar_tla_fan about Anna and Elsa - I don't see them as feminists. That's not a bad thing by any means, though. :D

As I've just watched Frozen tonight, it's fresh in my memory, so I can pass my humble judgement on Anna's and Elsa's feminist nature.

Anna - One positive thing I can say is that she's firm and doesn't let the males lord over her. When Hans objects to Anna going in search for Elsa, she replies confidently, "Elsa's not dangerous. I'll bring her back, And I'll make this right."

I can say Anna has a strong will. Though it would be better if she had listened to Kristoff's advice and they had headed to the North Mountains at dawn.

Otherwise, I don't see much feminism in her. She doesn't have any other ambitions besides love until her sister freezes over the kingdom (she had given up on regaining Elsa's company).

Elsa - One thing that stroke me as positive is that she doesn't rely on male or romantical love to solve her emotional/psychological problems. Her goal is to keep Anna and her subjects protected, which is also a nice change from the usual female goals in fiction. Plus, she's a woman with greater power in her hands (I mean as in her role as queen, though this phrase could also apply to her ice-manipulation powers). But I think that's all.

I don't think that any of them are not feminists at all, but some aren't as feminist as people make them out to be.

Well the point of feminism is for equality, and Feminism also includes acknowledging and respecting all women's choices without alienating them, or degrading them for doing so, just as a man would be treated. And I do mean ALL women, POC women, white women, Abled women, Disabled women, Women who were not assigned female at birth, those who were, etc. I think they could all be viewed in a feminist light, but could not necessarily be considered feminists in the real world. They are, after all, fictional characters created solely by men; with perhaps the exception of Elsa and Anna, given that Frozen had a female director, but I don't know how much the director had to do with it.

So if say Snow White was real, and she wished to be whisked away by a dashing young man, that'd be fine in a feminist light. [such behavior as is the young 14 year old hormones, but her actual seemingly 20-year-old boyfriend coming into the picture is a different story] And if one didn't wish to be married or in a relationship at all such as Merida, then this could also be seen as okay in a feminist light, because again, respecting women's choices without alienating them. But they AREN'T real people though; they DIDN'T REALLY MAKE ANY CONSECUTIVE DESCICIONS IN THE NAME OF FEMINISM OR NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT REAL. However, I do believe one princess may be considered a better feminist ICON more so than say another princess.

I think people need to remember that, they are fictional characters But I guess this is if we are speaking hypothetically, then yea.

Mulan. I don't think breaking rules for someone who would never do the same for you is feminist( or I'd better say "pro-woman"). And neither is the way she acts towards her father. To me being saved by the loving prince is way more pro-woman. So the message and gender representation in Mulan bothers me way more than it does in classic movies.

Ariel and Jasmine. They didn't do something feminist-related imo.
