Anastasia

Anastasia is the most badass, sassy, witty, and underrated princess, and it is mostly because she is not a Disney princess. In this film everyone has a different body type and that didn't take away from the story line or how attractive the characters were, and in fact I would argue they were more relatable and I enjoyed the story more. I think it is really important to have a princess and a potential role model that young girls can aspire to be. This woman was not weak or privileged even though she was a princess. She was still beautiful and kind and strong but with an awesome personality. She was never afraid to speak up for herself and she had all the sass. Other characters as well, did not follow the stereotypes that Disney films fall trap to. The main romantic interest was a scheming con artist and he was very smart. He had street smarts and a lot of book smarts but Anastasia surpassed him in a lot of activities that were stereotypically for males. Another character, Sophie, was presented as beautiful and charming even thought by society's standards she would have been considered overweight. Instead, she had more confidence than any other character in the movie.
