KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Pocahontas became the first Native American Disney Princess and the first woman of color to be the lead character in a Disney film. As of 2014, she remains the only Disney Princess to be based on a historical figure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pocahontas is the only Disney princess whose character is based on a real person. Mulan’s warrior character was based on legend, not fact.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mulan and Pocahontas are the only characters in the official Disney princess lineup who are not technically princesses. Mulan does not come from a royal line, and she does not marry a prince. Pocahontas is the daughter of a chief and does not marry in to a royal family.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is this? Pocahontas is Disney’s first attempt at basing a princess on a real person rather than a fairy tale; I still feel that it failed, though: they twisted the facts about her story, focusing on her romance with John Smith instead of her leadership abilities and brave soul.

Detailed explanation-5: -But though Snow White was Disney’s first full-length movie princess, she wasn’t the first Disney princess. That honor goes to Persephone, the main character of a 1937 Silly Symphonies short that served as a sort of test run for Snow White.
