[quote="Princess of Agrabah"]I really can't choose because all of them are amazing and each bring something unique to the story but I just threw my vote at Aladdin. I really think he's the Disney hero/prince/dude who had to work the hardest out of all of them. I mean he was nothing at the beginning of the film, but he ends up winning the love of a princess and making something of himself. Sure he had the help of a Genie, a Magic Carpet, and an adorable klepto monkey but he's the one who outwitted Jafar in the end. And I think he really develops during both the film and the series.

And then there's Jasmine. She was likeable during the first film, and yes I did dress up as her for Halloween like every other little girl but I didn't really start to appreciate her character until I got older and saw the TV Series. I did like the fact that she wasn't going to just mindlessly marry some prince like her father wanted her too, and the fact that she could see past the fact that Aladdin was a commoner. I really hate when people say that she's selfish because she's not. For example, in "Bad Mood Rising" she did realize that as a princess her duty was to serve her people even if that meant pushing aside her own interests. I really like "The Ethereal" when she jumps in front of that kid--just a random, peasant kid--and "dies" in his place. That really is the main reason why I like her best out of all the other princesses, because I think she really does deserve that title--she does really care about her people.

I think she matures a lot from RoJ to KoT. Take her reaction to Aladdin lying about Iago. But in the Kot, when they find out that Cassim is the King of Thieves, she calmly asks Aladdin if he knew about this, and when he answers she doesn't blow up at him, whereas RoJ Jasmine would have stormed off.

And lastly, she's the first princess to really kick butt  :lol:. I mean she almost [i]killed[/i] Aladdin in "Forget Me Lots". "The Secret of Dagger Rock" was just epic. And "The Vapor Chase" was amazing because she almost strangled Abis Mal.[/quote]
