ROUND 1: Cinderella (2015) ELIMINATED

I don't really understand why people think Enchanted is a parody. I always felt the film was a loving tribute towards classic Disney. It really doesn't make fun of Disney the way films like Shrek do, even though lots of people expected that to be the case back when the film was first announced. In fact, Enchanted was originally supposed to be an R-rated mockery, but the final product is anything but. Love at first sight isn't really mocked since Edward and Nancy end up together and Nancy dreams of a fairy tale ending (we find this out in a deleted scene though). Giselle and Robert share True Love's Kiss and their relationship isn't that far off from the 90s Disney films where the couple would get a chance to actually interact and gradually fall in love (or as gradual as possible for a Disney film). This is also one of two films in this list to use Menken's music and I find his songs and score far superior in Enchanted to anything he did in Tangled.

I don't see Tangled as a parody of classical Disney princess. It's basically just an adaptation of the fairytale Rapunzel with modern touch. Also, Rapunzel's personality is a lot like some of previous DPs.

^ Same as Sparklefairy375 . I don't find this one as offensive or trying to be like the original Disney princesses. Tangled has its own story and Rapunzel is her own character.

lavendersblue picked Raiponce (2010):
I don't see this as a parody at wall - oh, with the possible exception of the scene at The Ugly Duckling, when Eugene and Pascal are aware of how bizarre the situation is. But that's not really a parody of the franchise, but rather Disney being aware of its own tropes.

Now, The Princess and the Frog is not really a parody either, more of a deconstruction. But the thing that is sort of off-putting is that, to break the spell, Naveen needs to kiss someone who is literally a princess. That's weird when you take into account that the solution in DP stories has always been true love and that the motto of the franchise is "anyone can be a princess." So being a princess now just boils down to having a title? That's not how it used to go...

What I said before. Tangled would be next but I think the title is insulting

Still this. I don't see how it parodies the franchise.

I think this one or Beauty and the Beast is more likely.

wavesurf picked Raiponce (2010):
Because the story is not built around "ridiculing previous DPs." So, Tangled is not a parody. Next choice is The Princess and the Frog.

Mongoose09 picked The Princess and the Frog (2009):
I fail to see how this parodies the other movies/characters at all. It seems like it's trying to fit in & have a similar formula to the others, just with a modern twist.

I can't think of anything to really add, Mongoose09 pretty much nailed it.
