A perfect example of why median exists
Easy mistake, her name is Merida. Not sure what she's a perfect example of though?
Percentile gang, let's go! 😎
The median, or 50th percentile, here would be 17 or 18, meaning 50% of the princesses are aged 17 or lower, and 50% are aged 18 or higher.
Nah, it's the perfect example of why the median is a pathetic excuse of a statistical tool that is only used by those that wish to opress minorities
This still is killing me. Why is this so funny? All the others look like good images of the characters!
This is just how people with Scottish blood look when you take photos of them, my source is my family photo album.
Frazzled and caught slightly unprepared?
And if you take a picture with a flash, they get a sunburn.
She looks like a meerkat.
😐
Wasnt Snow White in a magical sleep for like a hundred or so years?
I mean, yes, but she's only physically and mentally 14.
If you put a child in cryostasis until she's technically 18 you would still be a pedo if you did anything to her.
Oh, no, this is the next big startup fad, isn’t it?
Oof, yeah, that's definitely something that will need to be looked at when cryotech starts being a thing.
That embryo frozen for 24 years or whatever that was successfully implanted and carried to term didn't emerge from the womb 6'1" with an MBA.
Would you have looked at an embryo frozen for 18 years and said "uh-hhuhuh, she's totally legal"?
Same logic applies.
I don't think having sex with frozen embryo goop should be a crime though.
Youre thinking of sleeping beauty, not snow white
Alice is only a princess in Kingdom Hearts lore.
Merida is technically Pixar. She's like a step-Princess.
Which reminds me, where's Leia?
or the Alien?
By the time that Brave was made, Pixar was a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney. That's a distinction without a difference.
By this logic then Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas should also be a Disney princess since Touchstone Pictures was wholly owned by Disney.
All hail Disney Princess Sally!
Alice is only a princess in Kingdom Hearts lore.
Meanwhile Ariel just chills in her world in KH1. Really wonder why they made that choice.
I guess Maleficent didn’t want to fill one of the princess of heart containers with saltwater.
they didn't want to model a mermaid wheelchair for her to go around on the other land-based worlds
She would die if she's being kept like the other princess.
The Alien Xenomorphs can live for millennia, and they’ve been technically eligible as Disney princesses since March 2019.
Even Max Klinger is technically eligible.
This is why the concept of statistical outlier and standard deviation exists.
Had I seen something like this in any analysis I would either assume some fault in the measurement (either reading or technical) or error in punching the data. Then ignored the result if it couldn't be reproduced, but leave it in the raw data/graph/figure and explain the exlution.
Heck, even opting for median age over the mean would work in this case!
I'm surprised that the Frozen sisters are 21 and 24. I thought they were closer in age, and younger.
Edit: They are actually 18 and 21 in Frozen. The second movie is 3 years later.
I’m surprised that the Frozen sisters are 21 and 24. I thought they were closer in age, and younger.
I can't help but notice the earlier entries are tagged as younger when there's no real notable age gap between, say, Jasmine and Elsa. Jane Porter, from Tarzan, could easily be in her late-20s/early-30s. Aurora and Cinderella could be anywhere from a very mature 16 to a slightly immature 24 (if their birthdays weren't a pivotal part of their plots, anyway). Mulan is punching way above her weight class at age 16. Esmerelda could pass as early 30s, easily, just on her mannerism and professional talent.
The only one that really works at this age bracket is Alice.
I'm not sure Alice would even qualify as a Disney Princess, unless there's some lineage I'm unaware of. She's already one of the few without some sort of romantic subplot.
Mulan... Aristocracy with a royal award maybe, but not really royalty either.
Funny enough that frozen is always shown in school, but they never finished it. They always play like about 45 minutes of class time duing holidays where there is no classwork to do. Already finished school by now and I'mma just google the plot lol
Is Alice 10 in Disney? In Lewis Carroll's original work she is 8.
They aged her up so it would be less creepy
What is creepy about it? The entire story is really about Alice discovering rules and how she likes them so much. That is very much the world of an 8 year old. Not to mention all of the fanciful characters and tropes that were dreamed up.
There are many academic critiques and studies of the work. It is also central to Open AI's QKV layers model alignment training. The story is the primary catalyst for creative randomness in terms of internal model thinking in both LLMs and embedding models used in image diffusion. For instance, all of the mechanisms that Alice used to become bigger and smaller are present in diffusion AI models with the caveat that no real person place or thing is present in the prompt. One does not need to bring up the detailed context of the story if one prompts the element with good specificity. A far easier method to play with is to prompt the queen of hearts or Alice as a character in an image using just a foundational base model. It should be quite clear how these images are a bit different in many ways. Those differences are not random and they are persistent across all models. Literary nonsense is the actual randomness that shows up in background objects and clothing in images. Prompting against the abstraction of genre is far more effective than attempting to describe your own details in the prompt with specificity.
In literature in general, Carroll's work is the holotype for a genre. Analysing the work speaks to the human experience on many levels. The work has long been appreciated by all ages. So I am a bit baffled about what you find creepy about age in any context such as this. Like what kind of assumptions do you possibly feel grounded in here?
I'm gonna need a source for that 'cause, like, they weren't really concerned about creepiness back in the 50s from what I can tell.
Wow, I better stop jerking it to Jasmine. 🤷
Pocahontas is also younger than labeled. IIRC she was like 17 when she was forced into marrying a tobacco farmer. She died only a few years later.
the chart is referring to Disney characters not "real" people
Yeah, that one was the one that surprised me. I would have guessed she was supposed to be late 20s.
she's mature for her age
Probably legal where she's from. 🤢
Yeah, Ahgrabah is crazy
By the way, child marriage is legal in a number of US states right now.
Dating for american presidents be like:
I'm not usually one to care about how a meme is cropped but... goddamn lol
those random Korean letters at the bottom are absolutely critical to the meme and had to be included
Wtf movie is the 8800 from? That and the top right are the only characters I don't recognize.
Atlantis, her name is kida, altantians are super long lived because of the crystal on her neck.
That one with the skinny dude with glasses.
Okay, I think I found it: "Atlantis: The Lost Empire"?
🤣 👍
Top right is Aurora/Briar Rose from Sleeping Beauty
one of my favorites of that era along with treasure island
I think you mean Treasure Planet.
Treasure Planet and Atlantis are two of the best. They go well together too.
Not surprised its unrecognized. The movie is a hidden gem.
Okay, but Kidagakash skews the average so sharply that she's proof of the need for weigthing.
Also, are Alice & Jane actually considered princesses? Jane is Lady Greystone and I could accept her for that, but Alice is just a kid. And if direct adaptations count, why not Wendy? Why not Tiger Lily (who counts if Pocahontas does)? Or Dejah Thoris, the titular "Princess of Mars"?
Needs more Kuzco.
Esmeralda being 18 is throwing me for a loop. Idk why. All the other ones I can get past looks because they're all meant to be young (and many have ages stated) but I literally never once viewed Esmeralda as a teenager in the movie. Early 20s maybe. Maybe they mentioned it and I forgot.
Crazy movie though. Frolo is so fucked.
IRL Pocahontas was like 11 or 12.
Her actual age is unknown, due to nobody knowing what year she was born. Estimates put her at around 10 or 11 when John Smith arrived. Some people say he was romantically involved with her, but others believe he played that part up to keep her from getting killed by other settlers. Those people say she was simply a translator and ambassador for several years, since she was able to learn English relatively quickly. She was ~16-17 when she was taken hostage, forcibly baptized, and married off to a tobacco farmer. She died only a few years later, around the age of 20 or 21.
Mulan was too cool.
Mulan has the highest kill count... I think
The avalanche definitely ups her count some.
I like the 8800 year old :>
Got that multiple millennia of wisdom while still being 22 physiologically somehow
Not seen the movie but I assume she behaves like a 22 yo as well?
That's one of the many things that threw me with LotR Rings of Power was how Galadriel behaved like a teen while being between 3,412 and 5,353 years old.
Well yeah, rings of power is corporate fanfiction, it's not the galadriel JRRT wrote
I didn't realize Mulan was a child soldier until now.
Damn it, Princess Georg
How old is Stitch?
Stitch is assigned male
Some people want to fuck the princes answer the question
Still a princess.
... Esmeralda isn't a princess tho
OP forgot to capitalize the P.
To be included in the Disney Princess line, a character must be a protagonist or main supporting character in an animated theatrical film produced by a studio owned by The Walt Disney Company that is the first film in its franchise (thus excluding characters introduced in sequels, direct-to-video films and television series), must be human in her standard form and in general should be a princess by way of either marriage to a prince or through herself descending from a monarch or tribal chief. Exceptionally heroic characters who do not have a royal title can also be included.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Princess
The list of official princesses kept changing over time, mainly because new characters were added to the list as new movies emerged. Still, three princesses were removed from it in 2005: Tinker Bell, Esmeralda, and Jane Porter. The reasons why they made the list in the first place are not entirely clear since they are neither main characters in their films nor do they have royal heritage.
[...] In Esmeralda's case, the reason was that the sales of The Hunchback of Notre Dame products were not going as Disney had hoped, and the character was not as popular with the audience.

But as the reply said, Alice is not a Disney Princess nor a princess.
That would exclude Mulan, yet she is listed as princess.
Maybe they need new lineups. Attn Disney marketing: princesses, fairies, and mulan!
Or Belle or Jane.
Belle marries nobility
Nor Alice...
Yep, Alice is the only one on here (as far as I care to investigate) that has never been part of the Disney Princess brand. Jane and Esmeralda both used to be until 2005. See my reply to the comment you're replying to for more information if you're curious.
Jane is considered a disney princess ?
Who here forgot Disney even made Tarzan? ✋
Even knowing that Disney made Tarzan, Jane doesn't "feel" like a Disney princess.
You know who feels like a Disney princess but isn't ? Anastasia !
nope, it's 17.5. and also 16.
How is Pocahontas only 18 and that bottom left one already 19?
Bottom left is Tiana, from Princess and the Frog. They definitely choose a frame where her head is rounder than normal...
i want to crack 5th one
Everyone always forgets Princess Eilonwy.
Who is left third row from bottom and right second row from bottom?
Esmeralda from Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Jane from Tarzan, I think.
Esmeralda from Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Jane from Tarzan.
Rya is missing.
Alice in wonderland isn't a princess tho.
