Elsa definitely had a good head on her shoulders when it came to the whole man-thing, but once she lost control she seemed to have lost all her balls, too. She kinda just curled up in a corner and felt sorry for herself, which makes the whole “Let It Go” phenomena even worse.

You are correct about Ariel; she definitely had ambitions before meeting Prince E, but did she really have to get SO extreme about it? Why not try the long distance thing first? I mean, damn girl. And again, I concede about Belle to a certain extent but I stand firm that she wasn’t fantastic.

I understand what you mean about Alice, but I always just viewed her as a curious little English girl. I also recommend another watch of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Make it a drinking game! Every time Esmeralda is sassy you take a shot. You’ll get trashed remarkably fast, I promise.

First, while I strongly agree that Anna>Elsa, I think Elsa deserves some more bonus points just for her line that trolled half the other women on this list:

I also think you may have been a bit harsh on Ariel and Belle. Sure, Ariel’s infatuation with Prince Eric is a little extreme, but “Part of Your World” shows that it was never just about the guy; it was about a whole new world (pardon the pun) of experiences that was out there waiting for her. As for Belle, she definitely would have been full-on Stockholm Syndrome if she had fallen for the Beast as we first saw him, but her feelings didn’t develop until after he started changing into a good guy.

I remember finding Alice annoying, but it’s been too long since I’ve seen that one for me to fairly judge. Not that an overly informed opinion necessarily matters on the internet, but still.

Mulan near the top makes me very happy. Like Alice, it’s been too long since I’ve seen Esmerelda for me to decide how to feel about her victory. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve seen Hunchback since theaters. Shame on me, clearly.
