Ariel. She was my favorite Disney princess and my boyfriend’s too when we were both little. Robin Hood would be interesting (I’m actually watching the BBC version and can see, how parts of the story can fit on Once).
I’m not sure Pocahontas would work, because like Daniel said, she’s a real person. Plus, I would feel bad about her character being messed up even more, adding to the damage that Disney did to her.
Agreed about Pocahontas. There’s too much historical evidence that proves she’s not just some mythological/fictional character. In fact, she even has living descendants. Mulan was even somewhat crossing the line, but I’ll give her a pass because she’s treated as a legend and as far as I know there hasn’t been any evidence of her existence in the real world. Some defenders of Pocahontas being included might defend that a fictional version of her character could still exist in some other world on Once, but where do you draw the line? If Disney had never produced an animated feature based on her, she probably wouldn’t even be suggested.
