The characters themselves, despite appearing in separate films, have distinct similarities. The princesses show good will towards all creatures, evidenced by the common ability to communicate with animals. The princesses are known for their inner and outer beauty, as well as having beautiful singing voices, apart from Merida, who only sings a song with her mother when she is little in her film.

Each princess, excluding Merida, has a romance that is resolved by the end of her debut film; the male counterparts known as Disney Princes. These charismatic girls carry a similar personality in their eras, in the beginning with the first three (Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora), their characteristics were well known as classy, graceful and romantic daydreamers, who suffered from the actions caused by others. They held an inner strength through compassion, love, kindness and, particularly with Snow White, a strong sense of resilience.

After the Renaissance Era, these popular heroines became more active then reactive with Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas and Mulan. Their characteristics were known to be strong-willed, adventurous, feisty, cunning and determined. As well their goals were more on adventure and freedom than love, these girls were more fighters for their dreams than the first three. The latest ones: Tiana and Rapunzel are in their modern era; Tiana, an original character, is much more a realist than the others, she doesn't want magic to make a dream come true but with only hard work, whereas Rapunzel is much more like the idealistic ones than Tiana.

Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine, Rapunzel and Merida are born of royal heritage as daughters of kings and queens. Pocahontas can be considered as being of royal heritage, as she is the daughter of a chief and considered Native American royalty by the English. Cinderella, Belle and Tiana become royalty by marriage. Mulan is the only Disney princess who does not become royalty by blood or marriage, but she does, however, receive a grace of honor from the Emperor of China making her the only woman to ever do so.

The character of Snow White first originated in 1937 from a Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Schneewittchen" about a beautiful German princess with a jealous stepmother. Walt Disney turned this classic fairy tale into his very first animated feature film. Her true love is Prince Ferdinand, who breaks her sleeping death 'slumber' (caused by the Evil Queen) with love's first kiss. She befriends the seven dwarfs during her stay at their cottage. At 14 she is the youngest princess, and the least proactive regarding the events around her.

The best-known version of Cinderella is the fairy tale "Cendrillon" by Charles Perrault in 1697. In 1950, it was turned into an animated feature-length film by Walt Disney. Cinderella is probably the eldest of all the Disney princess. She is 19 years of age during the events of the film. Her stepmother turned her into the family's sole servant after the death of her father. With magical help from her Fairy Godmother, she attends a royal ball and meets the prince of her kingdom, and eventually marries him, thus freeing her from her life of servitude. For unknowns reasons she is sometimes considered the "Leader of the Disney Princesses", even though she wasn't the first one created. 

Aurora

Best known as the heroine of the 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty which is very loosely based on Charles Perrault's "La Belle au Bois Dormant". Although her dress changes from blue to pink thanks to disagreement between two of her guardians, Merryweather and Flora. Outside the film she is most commonly seen wearing pink. She was cursed at birth to die before the sun sets on her 16th birthday by the evil fairy Maleficent. One of the three good fairies, Merryweather, was able to weaken the curse by changing death to a deep slumber that could only be awakened by true love's kiss. By falling in love with Prince Phillip, the prince of a neighboring kingdom--and unknown to either of them, her betrothed) she was freed from the curse. Aurora is shown as the tallest princess in drawings of the group. 

Ariel

The heroine of the 1989 film, loosely based on the Danish fairy tale "Den Lille Havfrue" by Hans Christian Andersen, and the daughter ofKing Triton, ruler of the sea, 16-year old mermaid Ariel falls in love with a dashing human prince named Eric, an extension of her facination with all things from the surface world. Her dream of life on land makes her vulnerable to Ursula's offer as her only chance to be with Eric. Ursula pursueades her to trade her voice to the sea witch (who was supposed to be her aunt in the uncut version of the film), in order to become a human and be with him forever. However, Ursula cunningly tricks her. She is the 7th youngest daughter of Triton and the only disney princess to be a mother with her daughter Melody.

Hans Christian Andersen's original character dissolves into foam on the sea after the prince marries someone else, but through an act of compassion is transformed into a spirit of the air. Co-director Ron Clements felt the story was too tragic and changed the original character from the tragic but hopeful heroine, to the brave and resourceful Ariel. 

Belle

The French commoner who is the heroine of the 1991 animated classic Beauty and the Beast, is loosely based on the French fairy tale "La Belle et la Bête" abridged from the version by Madame Jeanne-Marie le Prince de Beaumont. The name Belle translates from the French word for "beauty". She selflessly trades her freedom for that of her father in a bargains with the Beast and becomes his prisoner/guest. She soon learns to see the good hidden behind his hideous appearance and rough manner eventually falling in love with him over time. By confessing her love at the end of the movie she breaks the spell placed on him by an evil fairy. The Beast and all his household are restored to their human forms and Belle becomes his princess. It should be noted that Belle is never seen to marry her Beast/Prince so her princesshood may be only honorary. Belle's prince (the Beast) is named Adam. 

Jasmine

The spunky, independent Arabian Princess of Agrabah, who dreams of seeing what's beyond her palace and be freed from her father's constant pestering of arranged royal marriage. She falls in love with the title character in 1992's Aladdin, whom she eventually marries.

She is loosely based on Princess Badroulbadour (Arabic بدر البدور,badru l-budūr, "full moon of full moons") featured in the story of "Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp" from "One Thousand and One Nights" of Scheherazade. Interestingly, the original story took place in China and not the Middle East. 

Pocahontas

Disney's Pocahontas is loosely based on the real-life Native American "princess" of the Powhatan tribe (a name also borne by her father, the chief.) Her real name was Matoaka, since Pocahontas was her nickname and meant 'Little Mischief'. She falls in love with a man named John Smith, who helps her prevent a war from commencing between their people. At the end of the film, John is wounded and sent back to London for treatment. 

Mulan

Fa Mulan is a brave Chinese heroine who dresses up like a soldier and goes to war in place of her crippled father, risking death and dishonor.

She is loosely based on the heroine from the ancient Chinese epic poem "The Legend of Hua Mulan"(花木蘭傳奇) and she is the only Disney Princess who is not royal by blood or marriage and is literally not one. However, she has the honor of a princess because she achieved honor from the Emperor himself by saving China. During her stay in the army, she falls in love with the captain, Li Shang, whom she starts dating by the end of the film. 

Tiana

Disney Princess Princess Tiana Feature film The Princess and the Frog Speaking voice Anika Noni Rose Singing voice Anika Noni Rose

[Source]

Partly inspired from E.D Baker's 2002 novel The Frog Princess, and the original fairy tale "The Frog Prince". Tiana is the heroine of the 2009 animated film The Princess and the Frog and is the first Princess of African-American decent. She dreams of opening her own restaurant through hard work. By kissing Prince Naveen in frog form, she is turned into a frog (because the magic can only be broken by a princess) and they are forced to set on a journey to find a way to undo the magic. Eventually, she finds herself falling for the handsome, but spoiled prince and willingly gives up her personal wants to be with him. By marrying the prince, Tiana becomes a real princess and so breaks the spell with a kiss. They finally open their own restaurant at the end of the film.

She is the first and currently only princess who's story was inspired by an original fairy tale, a literature novel and a real life person. 

Rapunzel

Disney Princess Princess Rapunzel Feature film Tangled Speaking voice Mandy Moore Singing voice Mandy Moore

The heroine from the animated feature Tangled is loosely based on the German title character from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel". Her long hair, which is said to measure 70 feet in length, not only has magical healing powers, but can be used as a weapon. Given the power by a magic golden flower, Mother Gothel kidnaps her as an infant to use her power to keep herself young. 18 years later, Rapunzel sneaks away from her tower with a thief, Flynn Rider, and sets on her own journey to find the flying lanterns that float into the sky every year on her birthday. To free her from Gothel's clutches, Flynn cuts her hair, thus destroys her power, and she is returned to her family. Rapunzel was "officially welcomed into the Disney Princess Royal Court" during a promotional event at Kensington Palace in London on October 2, 2011. Interestingly, even though Rapunzel's long golden hair is cut off in the movie, changing it from blonde to brown, her redesigned image shows it fully restored, although somewhat shorter than its original 70 foot length. 

Merida

Disney Princess Princess Merida Feature film Brave Speaking voice Kelly Macdonald

Merida is the 16-year old daughter of Queen Elinor, who rules the kingdom alongside her husband, King Fergus. Queen Elinor's expectations and demands of her daughter make Merida see Elinor as being cold, unfeeling and distant causing friction between the two. Despite Elinor's desire to see Merida as a proper royal lady, Merida is an impetuous girl with wild, unruly ginger hair and a passionate desire to take control of her own destiny. Merida has honed her skill with the bow, and is the most skilled archers in her kingdom. She is also well trained in sword-fighting and an expert horsewoman, riding wildly across the countryside on her horse, Angus.

She is the first princess from a Pixar film, the first original princess in the line-up that not inspired by either literature (Snow White, Cinderella, etc.) or real-life (Pocahontas, Tiana) works and the first without a love interest. She also never sings a major song, thus breaking away the traditional line-up, though as a child, she sang a small verse of a song in Gaelic, and Merida's rich Scottish brogue makes her the second Disney Princess with an accent. 

Future Disney Princesses

Princesses who are expected to join the Disney Princess line-up but must wait until they either make the cut or not.

Anna

Anna is the Norwegian heroine from the 2013 film Frozen. Anna is loosely based on Gerda, the heroine from the Danish fairy tale "Snedronningen", or "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen.

She is a member of a royal family and the younger sister of Elsa. Whilst Elsa is known to be both beautiful and elegant and is loved by the townspeople, Anna remains as some what of a free spirit. Anna is more daring than graceful and, at times, can act before she thinks. But she’s also the most optimistic and caring person you’ll ever meet. She has a very close relationship with her elder sister until this bond is shattered by Anna messing up at Elsa's coronation, leading to Elsa revealing her powers over ice and snow and accidentally cursing the kingdom. Anna embarks on a dangerous adventure to make things right. She longs to reconnect with her sister, Elsa, as they were close during their childhood.

It has been announced that Anna will join the line-up in 2014, along with her sister Elsa. 

Elsa

Elsa the Snow Queen is one of the main protagonists, alongsideAnna, of the upcoming 2013 Disney animated film Frozen and elder sister to Princess Anna. She was a princess of Arendelle, next in line to be queen until her powers over ice were exposed, causing her to flee and become the feared Snow Queen.

She is loosely based on the The Snow Queen from the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale "The Snow Queen" and may have been based on Kai. Elsa will be the first official Disney Princess to become a Queen.

It has been announced that Elsa will join the line-up in 2014, along with her sister Anna. 

In early 2000, when Andy Mooney was hired by the Disney consumer-products division to help combat dropping sales, the idea for the Disney Princess franchise was born. Soon after joining Disney, Mooney attended his first "Disney on Ice" show. While waiting in line, he found himself surrounded by young girls dressed as princesses. "They weren’t even Disney products. They were generic princess products," he mused. Soon after realizing the demand, the Disney Princess line was formed.

Despite limited advertising and no focus groups, the various Disney Princess items released became a huge success. Sales at Disney Consumer Products rose from $300 million in 2001 to $3 billion in 2006. Today there are over 25,000 products based on the franchise.

The princesses to be featured in the line were chosen from classic Disney films. The characters were not chosen specifically for their royal titles, but rather for how well they fit into what Disney executives deemed "the Princess mythology". Mulan is an example of this concept; she has no familial ties to royalty, but is still included in the character list. Tinker Bell was once included under the same principle before it was decided she was not suited for the "mythology".^[1] Recently though, Tinker Bell has starred in her own Disney franchise, Disney Fairies. Other fairies were created specifically for the franchise. The line began with a book series by Gail Carson Levine, and has since spawned toys, direct-to-video movies and other products based on the characters. However, the franchise may have began much earlier, perhaps in the mid-to-late 1990s, where all of the Princesses up to Pocahontas were already included (Mulan would be added much later). Also, at one point Esmeralda and Jane Porter were both considered to be included in the line-up, but were never realized.

Surat Kecil Untuk Tuhan

Film yang diangkat dari sebuah novel kisah nyata dengan judul "Surat Kecil Untuk Tuhan", kembali mengingatkan saya pada seorang sahabat yang telah kembali ke pangkuan Yang Maha Kuasa pada 18 Oktober 2009. Cerita ini untuk semua sahabat. Sebuah kisah true story yang sangat menginspirasi dan sangat menyentuh ini memberikan kita banyak pelajaran arti kehidupan.

Film yang mulai tayang pada 7 Juli 2011 ini menceritakan suatu pejuangan melawan sakit dan semangat yang kuat untuk mencapai impian seorang gadis remaja penderita kanker Rabdomiosarkoma atau kanker jaringan lunak bernama Gita Sesa Wanda Cantika. Kanker ganas tersebut menyerang bagian wajah dari gadis remaja yang lahir pada 15 Juli 1991.

Saat masih berumur 13 tahun, dokter mengatakan kepada ayah gadis yang kerap disapa Keke, bahwa umur anaknya hanya dapat bertahan 5 hari lagi jika tidak segera melakukan operasi. Sungguh suatu pernyataan yang membuat hati sang Ayah mendapatkan tekanan yang sangat berat. Oleh karena itu, pihak keluarga merahasiakan kanker tersebut pada Keke. Walau akhirnya ia tahu ia terserang kanker ganas, ia pasrah dan tidak marah pada siapapun yang merahasiakan penyakit maut itu padanya.

Karena kebesaran Tuhan, Keke akhirnya berhasil sembuh dari kanker tersebut. Keberhasilan dokter Indonesia menyembuhkan kasus kanker yang baru pertama kali terjadi pada putri Indonesia ini menjadi prestasi yang membanggakan sekaligus membuat semua Dokter di Dunia bertanya-tanya.

Namun, kanker tersebut kembali menyerangnya. Dalam film-nya, Keke mengalami kelumpuhan dan kebotakan. Dokter menyerah terhadap kankernya. Keke menyadari bahwa napasnya tidak panjang lagi. Dia tetap bersyukur dan menuliskan sebuah surat kecil untuk Tuhan :

Tuhan ..

Andai aku bisa kembali..
Aku tidak ingin ada tangisan di dunia ini.
Tuhan ..
Andai aku bisa kembali
Aku tidak ingin ada hal yang sama terjadi padaku, terjadi pada siapapun

Keke menghembuskan napas terakhirnya pada 25 desember 2006 tepat setelah ia menjalankan ibadah puasa dan Idul Fitri terakhir bersama keluarga dan sahabat-sahabatnya, namun kisahnya menjadi abadi. Ribuan air mata berjatuhan ketika biografi pertamanya dikeluarkan secara online. Pesan Keke terhadap dunia berhasil menyadarkan bahwa segala cobaan yang diberikan Tuhan adalah sebuah keharusan yang harus dijalankan dengan rasa syukur dan beriman. Perjalanan waktu, biografi Keke pun dipasarkan secara luas dan kini telah dikemas dalam bentuk film layar lebar dengan judul yang sama "Surat Kecil Untuk Tuhan".

Pada akhir film ini, Keke menyampaikan satu permintaan terakhirnya, agar hubungan dalam keluarganya bisa bersatu lagi. Semangatnya untuk tetap menjadi yang terbaik tak sedikitpun melemah. Seperti bintang Sirius yang tetap bersinar terang walau langit tertutup awan

Dari film tersebut, kita akan menemukan banyak arti kehidupan yang dapat kita jadikan motivasi dan inspirasi dalam menjalani hidup yang tidak mudah ini. Setiap orang pasti akan mendapatkan cobaan, jangan pernah menyerah pada tantangan yang anda hadapi. Kita yang merasa normal, belum tentu bisa meraih cita-cita dengan mudah.

Saya bukan bermaksud untuk promo, tapi sebaiknya anda menonton film ini sebelum anda mengeluh pada kesulitan hidup yang anda hadapi. Semoga kita akan semakin sadar akan kebesaran Tuhan.
