She had to be in order for her to be convincingly a bit world-weary, and whoever said that the fact that she was around 20 years old and not yet married (was that you, Hikaru?), that was something else they considered, too. It's another reason people thinks she's odd and why it's crazy for her to reject Gaston. He could be her 'last chance.' <br /> <br />The gift shop "In Character" outside Voyage of the Little Mermaid at MGM has a 'model sheet' of Snow White (they have them for many of the Princesses, and yes, they did remember Jasmine this time!), but I don't know if those are ones created for theming only or if they are based on actual model sheets. Anyway, Snow White's sheet says something like "Snow White has idealized proportions for a 16 year old girl, but is not curvy." I think she is definitely young, but I think there is an extent to which she looks younger than she actually is. (This is also an interesting reflection on what ideals were in the 1930s as compared to now...) I wouldn't place her younger than 14, but not older than 16. She has a lot of inner strength (being able to flee when she learns of the Queen's plan, not knowing where she'd go) and a very definite motherly approach in dealing with the animals and the dwarfs. <br /> <br />I agree with AG that Cinderella seems older to me. Actually, so do her stepsisters. (I mean, they're immature, but they seem like they are children stuck in adults' bodies.) I wouldn't be surprised at all if Lady Tremaine was hoping Cinderella would be an 'old maid,' or at least not be allowed to be around men until Anastasia and Drizella had found husbands. She wanted to 'forward the interests of her own two awkward daughters,' and they must be higher up in age for the time, since she's quick to remind them it's their last chance when they find out the Duke is coming.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Gazmine</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon May 08, 2006 8:55 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Belle is the only one that really confuses me. i feel the beast being in his 20s wouldn't make Belle's age, if under 16, unbelievable.

We know that Aurora and Ariel are sixteen, and if you do your research, you'll find that Jasmine was supposed to be sixteen. But ages weren't mentioned for Belle, Snow White or Cinderella. <br /> <br />I think Snow White is the youngest, though I couldn't say how much younger. She did ride off with the Prince, but in a different time and culture, thirteen-year-olds did get married. <br /> <br />I'd put Belle at about nineteen. Maybe it's the book smarts that make her look and seem so mature, but I just don't think she's as young as the rest of the Princesses. Maybe she's twenty, but at any rate, she has this "young enough to still be living at home, but not a teenie-bopper" Aura. And if she were much older than twenty, I think the townspeople might hold that against her, too. (That she's twenty-something and not yet married.) <br /> <br />Cinderella's the only one I'm not quite sure on. Maybe she's sixteen, too. It really is hard to tell, since, had she not gone off with the Prince, I think she'd still be living with her step-mother and step-sisters.
