Disney's first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, made animated film history. The film was initially produced in 1937 and is based on the Brothers Grimm's early 19th-century German fairy tale. The film introduces seven dwarves' characteristics and many adaptations.

"Snow White demonstrated how animation could release a movie from its trap of space and time; how gravity, dimension, physical limitations, and the rules of the movement itself could be transcended by the imaginations of the animators," stated Roger Ebert in a review.

Mulan's soundtrack is one of the most memorable in Disney Princess film history. The Chinese mythology of Hua Mulan, who disguises herself as a male to fight in the military, inspired this Disney film in 1998. Mulan is another Disney Princess who illustrates that she doesn't need a man to save her.

The success of the first Mulan film led to the release of a sequel in 2004 and a live-action adaptation in 2020. Nothing, however, compares to the nostalgic feeling spectators receive when singing "I'll Make a Man Out of You."

Ranking the seventh on the list of best princess movies ever made is no other than Moana. It was a much-anticipated film due to its depiction of Polynesian culture and original songs written by Lin Manuel. It also stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a shape-shifting demigod named Maui, who sings and acts.

Moana, the independent daughter of a village chief, is the focus of the film. Moana, a Polynesian princess, sets out to make amends with Maui, the ancient demigod whose curse threatens her island. She embarks on a voyage to see Maui and returns an ancient relic to a goddess known as Te Fiti. In doing so, she protects her town from the threat of Te K's darkness.

After the Disney resurgence of the 1990s faded, "Frozen" reignited Disney's reign as an animation powerhouse. Since Tarzan in 1999, it was the first full-length Disney (non-Pixar) picture to win the Golden Globe (and ultimately the Academy Award) for Best Animated Feature Film in 2013. "Let It Go," sung by Elsa (Idina Menzel) and written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, shattered pop music records and became a worldwide hit with toddlers and children (as well as plenty of adults).

Anna and Elsa's narrative of finding genuine love as a family was so well-liked that it was adapted into a Broadway musical.

"Raya and the Last Dragon" is an ambitious family film for all ages that blends images and mythology from numerous Southeast Asian civilizations into its own vision. It never talks down to its viewers while presenting them with an enjoyable, thought-provoking story. It also features some of Disney's most breathtaking graphics to date, immersing its characters in a world that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Raya has long heard her father Benja tell stories about the final dragon. When an evil power began turning people into stone across the land, magical dragons banded together to form a stone, which one named Sisu utilized to avert the impending apocalypse. Despite rumors to the contrary, she sacrificed herself in the process. When the film opens, the stone is with Benja and Raya's people, but it is stolen, broken up, and scattered over the land by the other clans of the now-divided planet.

Years later, Raya embarks on a quest to locate both Sisu and the stone fragments in order to reunite her people and fulfill her father's goal of loyalty. They are pursued by Namaari, a princess of a clan wanting full authority, and meet several noteworthy supporting characters along the road, including the jovial Boun, one-eyed Tong, and even a "con baby," a child who utilizes her irresistible charm as an alley con artist. The stone's fracture had an effect on all of these vibrant people, and they make an unforgettable core in what is really an old-fashioned adventure film that recalls everything from Indiana Jones to "Princess Mononoke."

Cinderella's narrative has been adapted in a variety of ways. The oldest recorded record is the Rhodopis myth from ancient Greece. The most renowned adaptation must be Walt Disney's 1950 film based on Charles Perrault's fairy tale.

Cinderella, despite her stepmother's protests, is permitted to attend the Royal Ball thanks to the intervention of her animal friends and fairy godmother. The picture marked a watershed moment for Walt Disney Studios since it had not enjoyed such critical and economic success since 1937's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." In some ways, it was the studio's own rags-to-riches story, as it allowed them to start work on a number of other projects and break ground on Disneyland within a decade. It was also the first picture in which all nine of the Disney animation department's "Nine Old Men" worked on it.
