Mulan & Pocahontas
Pocahontas is very graceful and free spirited, doesnt do what people ask. Mulan basically does what people ask of her (until going off to war) and is very clumsy. I find Mulan to be a lot smarter than Pocahontas. Also Pocahontas is very confident in her body & skin whereas Mulan is not.

Cinderella & Tiana
While both very hardworking and polite, obviously Cinderella is only hardworking by force. Cinderella doesn't have any real ambitions in life while Tiana does. Cinderella has this charm Tiana doesn't have. And I bet Cinderella would be willing to kiss a frog! :P Cinderella has this calmess about her, Tiana is more uptight.

Ariel & Mulan
Ariel & Mulan are both determined. However, Ariel can be considered selfish while what Mulan did was very selfless. Mulan is clumsy and makes a lot of mistakes that make people angry at her (aka her first day in the army), while people seem to love Ariel's mistakes. Ariel somehow makes hers seem charming and innocent. Ariel is more fun and girly, Mulan is more laidback. Ariel is a dreamer.

Pocahontas and Tiana
Pocahontas is more carefree, Tiana has a lot on her mind. Pocahontas seems to be this big thinker and dreamer, Tiana just sort of has one thing on her mind: her restaurant. Tiana seems like a one-track mind kind of girl, Pocahontas likes to stop and smell the roses.

Jasmine and Pocahontas
Jasmine is more temperamental and has this angry temper when expressing her ideas. She's quickwitted. Pocahontas seems more "wise", but not very street smart. Pocahontas is more polite when expressing her opinions, not very angry or forceful. Jasmine leaves the palace, Pocahontas feels a duty to her people.

Aurora and Snow White
Aurora is more mature and calm, Snow White is sort of hyper and childish. Snow White seems like a jump around having fun kind of girl, Aurora would rather sit and relax. Aurora cries when she's seperated from Phillip and sort of pessimistic. Snow White, actually, out of all the girls handles her break up from her prince well. She just stays hopeful that he'll come get her and doesn't focus on it.

Cinderella & Tiana

Cinderella doesn't work to reach her goals. Her chores actually prevent her from reaching them. On the contrare, Tiana works to get what she wants. They both have different ordeals in life. Cinderella wants a happy ever after and believes in fairytales, Tiana doesn't believe in magic and fantasy; she just wants to become successful in her occupation. Overall, Tiana is more realistic and practical than Cinderella.

Mulan & Ariel

Ariel ran away from home to chase after a guy. Mulan ran away from home to be a guy. Ariel's reasons for running away were a lot more selfish; she wanted to see her mysterious man again and live happily ever after. Mulan only wanted to protect her father who would die if he was sent to war. They both have different views; Mulan is more family-oriented while Ariel is more of a "lover"

Both Cinderella and Tiana work very, very hard on a daily basis, but Cinderella is more of a dreamer, while Tiana is more of a doer.

Both Poca nad Tiana are american and they both try their best to impress their fathers, however, Tiana needed to learn that there is more to life than hard work, and Pocahontas learns that even for a promise, her friend Naomi had to tell Kocoum for the saftey of her friend.

Ariel and Mulan both ran away from home, they are both very determined and brave, and they are making extreme measures to get what they want. However, they do it for very different reason. Mulan is devoted to her family, and she does everything for them and neglecting her wishes , while Ariel leaves her family in order to fulfill her wishes. Also, Ariel's story revolves around romance and it's Ariel's main motive, while Mulan's story doesn't focus on romance at all.

well, both are really hard workers. but Tiana is more realistic, and CInderella tends to daydream. besides, Tia chooses to work, and Cinderella is forced to.
