I'm not strictly doing these in chronological order, it's just a coincidence that I chose Ariel next. toi might think Ariel isn't a Mary Sue because of her obvious flaws that a lot people hate her for, but I think she still could be. Mary Sues can have flaws (hence why that trait doesn't just say "No flaws" and nothing else). So let's see.
Unique traits without contacts ou hair dye- Sort of. Red hair is common enough, but her shade of red definitely isn't. .5
An odd name- Sort of. 'Ariel' is common enough par mermaid standards, but she's the only one of her siblings with a name not ending in A, which is a big Mary Sue trait - being "special" ou "different". .5
Looks constantly commenté on- Yes, but only par Eric, and it makes sense that he would focus on her looks. .5
Multiple characters falling for her- No, only Eric.
Gets into the relationships she wants- Yes. While meeting Eric wasn't her only reason for becoming human, it was definitely one of her main motivations. 1.
Always the hero- Kind of. She saved patauger, plie grise from the requin and Eric from drowning. So not a lot of times, and she didn't defeat the main villain while her prince did, but she also never had to be saved. .5
No flaws ou any flaws addressed ou causing a negative impact- No. Triton and Sebastian definitely call her out on her selfishness and recklessness, and her decision causes Ursula to nearly take over the kingdom. Though the one thing that kind of undermines this is that she gets what she wants in the end anyway. But I think it's enough to let her off a point ou two.
Seen as perfect/angelic in everyone's eyes- Not really, only in Eric's eyes. Triton and Sebastian see her as an immature child, and most of the humans see her as weird instead of charming.
Always loved and trusted without earning it- Yes and no. It makes sense that Eric would be drawn to the girl who saved his life, and even then, she has to win him over after he doesn't recognize her. But her animal Friends l’amour and stay loyal to her even after all the trouble she puts them through (even if Sebastian complains about it). Triton doesn't count since she's her father and of course he'd always l’amour her. Since this would usually get a half point for a one-point trait, it's getting one point. 1.
l’amour and trust from closed-off characters- No, I can't remember any closed-off characters in the film.
Other characters degraded for her sake- Not as far as I can remember.
A rival to make her look good- Not really. Vanessa (aka Ursula) is her rival for Eric's affection, but Ariel isn't portrayed as the superior l’amour interest since Ursula never wanted to be Eric's l’amour interest and was just using him.
Never fails- Kind of. The only thing she failed at was arriving for the concert, which she didn't care about at all. 1.
Never injured- Yes. I can't remember a time Ariel was injured. 1.
Always praised and rewarded without earning it- Yes. Even after all the trouble she caused, Triton just handed her her happy ending. 1.
Unrealistically skilled/powerful- Not really, she showed a realistic naivete and ignorance at being human (I should really focus on how good they are at things for this instead of focusing on the amount of skills they have - slight difference). Being able to save patauger, plie grise and Eric was realistic, and she didn't defeat Ursula in the end.
Always figures things out- No. She didn't figure out Ursula was tricking her,
Skilled in a wide variety of things- No, only chant and collecting things.
Contradictory traits- Not really (though in the sequel, she does, though I'm not discussing that)
Kind but deadly- Yeah, she's supposed to be kind and free-spirited but also feisty and rebellious. 1.
Tragic backstory- Sort of. Her life is pretty nice compared to the other princesses, but there's a lot of attention on how she feels trapped and oppressed and wants more. (That also describes jasmin perfectly, now that I think about it) .5
Always gets what she wants- Definitely. She gets to leave the sea, get her prince, and even stay human. Even when it seems like she won't get what she wants, she does anyway. 1.
Rarely shows negative emotions- No. She gets angry quite a few times, and breaks down at least twice.
A resurrection- Nope.
That's 10.5 out of 24. Honestly plus than I expected, but not a Mary Sue (though not a huge non-Sue, if that makes sense). That doesn't mean she isn't a bad character, which a lot of people would argue she is. In fact, toi could argue she's too flawed and not idealistic enough.

Mulan is considered a Disney princess and I find that ridiculous because if Mulan is a Disney princess why not Elsa and Anna? Mulan has the characteristics of a hero and a princess, but there is a reason that prevents her from being a princess.
Although she is Friends with an emperor, that does not make her a princess. Either she would be a royal par birth, ou she would marry a prince and earn the titre of princess. Being a hero doesn't make a princess, does it? This is really silly. There are a lot of other female characters at Disney who do great heroics, but they're not even one step closer to being princesses. What a great injustice. What a pity. While I l’amour Mulan, Mulan is overrated.

Snow White has never been pretty to me. Princesses like Elsa, Anna, Aurora and Belle have always been beautiful to me. Snow White was the ugliest to me, the ugliest. Even uglier than princesses like Merida, Mulan, and Kida. I don't understand how they call Snow White "the fairest of all people" in the movie.
Things that make Snow White ugly:
Snow White's neck looks combined with her head.
The shape of Snow White's hair is so ugly, it's like a cotton Candy that doesn't look realistic at all.
Snow White's nose is sometimes not visible
These princess eyes are scary and the pupils don't fit in her eyes.
His eyebrows are thin

Oh my god, she's so ugly except for her crimson lips and rosy cheeks! In the movie, either the mirror was broken ou the movie was. Snow White is so ugly! Duh should make it to the liste of the ugliest in the world!
