The Disney Renaissance: An Alternate Timeline (with additional films)

I had a lot of fun with my alternate timeline for the Revival Era post, so I thought I'd do the renaissance, along with a few scrapped films. I'm using a modern lens here when it comes to storytelling and portrayal of cultures, so it is a bit different. I'm also mixing my own ideas with scrapped ones from the films. Let's assume they began to use the "two movies a year" model during this period (and that they had the staff to support it).

The Little Mermaid--First off, the film uses a storybook opening and ending. Next, Disney embraces the abnormal, colorful palette used in original concept designs (as seen above), as well as keeping Ariel's knowledge of the human world; instead of Scuttle miseducating her, SHE teaches HIM about the human world. As a human, she has Eric teach her more about arts and sciences, though she does embrace dancing and horseriding. More time is spent giving a bit more personality to Ariel's sisters to show the world she's leaving behind, and Eric is modeled after Tom Cruise in a bid to grab more audience members. His singing voice is provided by Brad Kane, and the OG leaked ending is used (except we still get giant Ursula's boss battle at the end and the shell is still broken during the wedding because Jodi Benson is an underrated VA). The film makes about the same amount at the box office given that Disney was in a slump, but it's even more beloved by critics.

The Rescuers Down Under--Most of the film is the same as the original, except the success of "The Little Mermaid" inspires them not only to keep the musical aspect of the original, but make sure it gets just as much attention as TLM. Along with this, the idea to make Cody an Aboriginal Australian goes through, and the music takes influence from Aboriginal music, as well as being dynamic in order to continue with the action-film image that had gripped American audiences when they thought of Australian films at the time. The film makes about $150 million at the box office due to retooling it to feel more in-line with TLM's fantasy aspect while still appealing to action fans, and it makes Disney consider doing more theatrical sequels in the future...

Beauty and the Beast--The finalized version manages a better balance of aesthetic and historical, with the French influence being much more obvious in fashion and setting (though certain things like panniers weren't used in order to appeal to a modern audience's sensibilities) . Adam's name is mentioned explicitly here, as well as flashbacks to his human childhood in order to make his human appearance at the end of the film less jarring (sharing elements with the OG timeline's Broadway play and 2017 remake, such as the enchantress' magic making everyone forget the prince; let's just say that another king is ruling France around this time now--or the monarchy has already been abolish--and even when the curse is lifted, Adam doesn't press the issue). Linda Woolverton anticipates concerns of Stockholm syndrome, so she has the Beast send Belle home periodically so she can have "space" and she returns due to honoring her promise as well as her curiosity of the magical circumstances of the castle. The film is also a bit more mysterious, taking influence from Jim Henson's Labyrinth, as well as the beast being more enigmatic and contemplative rather than aggressive, though his time as a "monster" has led to him becoming more animalistic over time. Clarice is kept in this version, though Belle's loneliness is still highlighted as she's without her family in the castle, and even back home, Clarice "fits in" more than Belle does. Monsieur D'Arque is female, combining the character with Belle's scrapped aunt Marguerite, and she plays a larger role in this version. Gaston, while an arrogant jerk, is more mean than evil, and listens to Madame D'Arque's schemes in order to win Belle, as she once sees Belle visiting Maurice and believes that wherever she's been coming from houses immeasurable power. LeFou isn't kept in this version (the dynamic between D'Awque and Gaston is given more attention), Gaston is knocked unconscious rather than killed, as per the 1989 screenplay, and D'Arque is killed during the invasion of the castle. The critical and financial success to it is about the same as the OG film, and it also gave Disney breathing room to tinker around with different stories in the future.

(Also gotta give credit to MsHowlett on Deviantart for her fanart of Belle, combining both her concept art dress, which is more historical, with her final design.)

Aladdin--When drafting the film, there's a lack of clarity on whether the film should draw from Arab influences, given that most of 1001 Nights takes place in the Middle East, or Chinese influences, since Aladdin is stated to be set in China in the original story. Eventually they boil it down to being a mesh of Indian and Arab cultures (like in the OG timeline, but more culturally accurate), making Agrabah a kingdom between the Middle East and India. Because of this, the fashion doesn't really model the modern influences used in the OG timeline (though they do end up with final looks similar to their "Mirrorverse" appearances), and the phenotypes match the aforementioned cultures. Along with this, they actually go to Saudi Arabia to do research, as the film is 75% Arab, 25% Indian (though they have to wait to Gulf War issues to die down). It's mentioned that Aladdin's father left on a quest to reverse his family's poverty, and that Aladdin's mother died shortly before the film started. It's eventually brought up during production that Aladdin and Jasmine's relationship being built on a lie would divide audiences, so Aladdin reveals his poverty to Jasmine, who keeps the secret from her father since they'd never be allowed to marry. Jasmine and Aladdin are also aged up from 16 and 18 to being in their 20s to avoid critiques they got of Ariel being 16 and getting married. Jafar's backstory ("Why Me?") is explored more, particularly of how he worked hard to become a vizier and used to be looked down on others, and is seen as a evil version of Aladdin. Genie stays the same because he's awesome, and Brad Kane's work on "The Little Mermaid" inspired the team to call him to do Aladdin's singing voice. The film makes about the same in terms of box office, and is seen as one of the earlier examples of positive representation of Muslims in western media.

Swan Lake--Released in 1993, the film was designed as a love letter to classic Disney films, boasting Pre-Raphaelite art (mainly Dante Gabriel Rossetti's art) and operatic songs inspired by "Sleeping Beauty." There was discourse on whether or not to use the original score of the ballet, but eventually it was decided that they would use some of the score while creating some original musical pieces, as well as using ballet here and there for musical sequences. The film follows Prince Sky (taken from Tchaikovsky), who ventures to a magical land in order to find a hero to save his kingdom from the Owl King Rothbart. He encounters Odette, a wise but weary swan capable of turning into a human at night, and they team up to defeat Rothbart and his daughter Odile, falling in love along the way. The film made $400 million in box office, and critics compared it to "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast," with Alan Menken and Tim Rice's music earning praise. The film was nominated for "Best Original Film" at the Oscars, and the song "Moonlight Serenade" won best original song (and a commercial cover by Gwen Stefani and David Bowie). The film would later get controversy for Disney rumored to have made this film to spite "The Swan Princess," which came out the year later. Odette and Sky would later be brought into the Disney Princess and Prince line.

(Art comes from concept art for Barbie's Swan Lake; no concept art of a Disney version is known to exist. BTW, I'm not calling this art Pre-Raphaelite, but I did find it mesmerizing.)

The Lion King--For whatever reason, the team decides to move away from making the film about animals and instead make it a high-fantasy African musical with humans (though it's panafrican in style, it's said to be set in Tanzania). Pretty much all of the story elements are the same, but the enviornment is adapted for humans, with animal metaphors for one's spirit and guide. The film is largely successful (I'd say it makes less than the OG film, but still a hugely successful film since it highlights African culture in an inoffensive way) , but criticism abounds on the lack of a specific culture, particularly how several Tanzanian ethnic groups are conflated together into the story. There was also concern for the predominantly white cast (unless we change that; brainstorming a cast, but nothing's concrete). The film features more music (the OG film only had 5 songs; that's pretty low), and Simba and Nala are indicted into the Disney royal line.

(Art by s0alaina on Deviantart; not sure if it's based on Tanzanian cultures)

Amonute--Disney had the foresight and better judgment to NOT make a historical fiction piece with a sexualized lead. Instead, they allowed their Native American aides more imput on the story, eventually opting for an original story set in a fantasy world that had parallels to Indigenous colonization. The film centers on an Indigenous woman named Amonute (who the film is named after, taken from Pocahontas' birth name), who encounters new settlers with her siblings (basically Nakoma and Kocoum in this timeline). The settlers include the swashbuckling charmer Julian and his scholarly brother Lucien (inspired by Disney's version of John Smith and John Rolfe, as well as elements of Thomas, respectively; the colonists are overall French-inspired since they were seen as the less damaging of the major colonizing lands), both of whom fall for Amonute, and she returns their feelings. The film follows the same beats as "Pocahontas" in the OG timeline, and is reviewed much better due to being an original story free of sexualization, and it becomes as financially successful as Aladdin, but it isn't without criticism; there's concern of the romanticism of colonization, as well as the fact that the tribe Amonute is part of seems to mesh various NA cultures, as well as their clothing being more akin to Powwow regalia (due to colors, patterns, and accessories, but not as detailed of course) rather than anything historical. The ending is much more peaceful than IRL, and Amonute doesn't end up making a decision concerning her love triangle, so both Julian and Lucien join the Disney Prince line when Amonute joins the Disney princess line. In contrast to Billy Zane, Johnny Depp is brought on to voice Lucien, citing his singing ability as the deciding factor, though Billy Zane does play him in any work that Johnny Depp isn't available for.

Sinbad--Released in November 1995, the film's setting being influenced by Iraq was controversial given real-world circumstances concerning the country's relationship with the United States. However, Disney was inspired by the success of "Aladdin" and the (mostly) positive feedback "Aladdin" had received in terms of Asian cultures and Islamic representation, as well as motivated by the controversy of the film conflating India and Saudi Arabian cultures. Rather than traveling to Iraq due to the Gulf War, they instead have to consult literary sources and Iraqi experts within the US. Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio considered the love triangle aspect, but given how Amonute's love triangle divided audiences and growing concern that it'd make Sinbad look like a jerk, the idea was dropped, with his best friend being uninterested in Aaliyah, Sinbad's love interest (who, like Jasmine, was named after a celebrity). Sinbad was modeled after Aladdin to be clever and crafty, but rewritten to be more reserved and quiet to contrast with previous outgoing Disney men, while Aaliyah was more rough and tough than previous Disney women (she was also designed with Salma Hayek as inspiration and Wendy Malick to play her, but it fell through). Let's imagine they got a mostly Arab cast (I doubt they'd go for actors of Iraqi heritage alone), and the film's focus is on Sinbad recruiting Aaliyah to help him rescue his best friend Zayn from being executed for a crime he didn't commit--but Aaliyah did. The musical was highly successful, making over $300 million at the box office and the song "Never Again," detailing Sinbad's rough childhood to his friendship with Zayn and falling in love with Aaliyah, being nominated for BOS at the Oscars. Despite concerns about how Aaliyah might be perceived as a former criminal, she still joins the Disney princess ranks.

(Note: This concept art is from Dreamworks; Disney never got to a point where they made concept art, as far as I know.)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame--Mostly the same as the OG timeline, though with notable changes. Claude Frollo, while still a villain, does show to have a twisted love for Quasimodo, the twisted part coming from his own skewed worldview as well as Quasimodo's perceived "ugliness" and guilt over killing his mother. Quasimodo is also given a bit of a deeper skintone and darker hair color to remind the audience that he is a person of color--not that light-skinned/haired people can't be POC, but this film depicts all Romani people with certain attributes. At best, Quasimodo is mixed, so his features should exhibit that. The gargoyles are less comedic, but they still represent a softer, lighter side of the film as they represent hope and kindness, trying to teach Quasimodo the good of the world, as well as the archdeacon being involved in his life (with the gargoyles never explained as literal magic creatures of representations of Quasimodo's psyche; I like it both ways). It's noted that part of Frollo's obsession with Esmeralda isn't just lust, but also his guilt again over the death of Quasimodo's mother. Esmeralda and Phoebus' lives are fleshed out a bit more (particularly Esmeralda's, highlighting French-Romani culture), as well as giving Phoebus moments to sing. Esmeralda is also tweaked slightly so certain things that she does aren't read as romantic towards Quasimodo, even though he takes them as such. The film makes the same impact financially and critically, along with Esmeralda sadly not joining the DP line due to difficulty marketing her darker film. There is NO SEQUEL, though Madellaine is shown at the end, with Esmeralda and Phoebus singing part of the reprise of "The Bells of Notre Dame" to an infant Zephyr after the events of the film.

Hercules--Given the wide range of feedback they've gotten on cultural representation before, Disney decides that rather than label this a film about Hercules, this is an original story set in an Ancient Greco-Roman-inspired culture that take from a variety of Greek myths, with Hercules, Perceus, Achilles, Orpheus, and Bellephron being influences for the protagonist Nikanor, a kindly demigod prince on a quest to discover the secret behind his magical abilities with his sardonic lover and clever nephew, all while avoiding obstacles set forth by his wicked stepmother (as you can see, they were inspired by "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys"). While a colorful and creative journey (noted as a possible influence for the "Hades" video games by Supergiant), it's also been noted for it's psychological exploration of madness and depression, earning comparison to various mature video games. The music was equally praised for helping to uplift the film at important moments without ruining the vibe. The film made $400 million at the box office, and it's success led to a sequel TV series as well as Nikanor and his love interest Chania joining the Disney royal line given a lack of negative feedback from Greece as in the original film.

Mulan--In this particular timeline, Disney didn't have an issue with Stephen Schwartz working with Dreamworks for "The Prince of Egypt," though the tone is still the same as the OG timeline (ie maintaining that Mulan joined the army for her father, not for personal gain--except to prove she could do something that could make others proud of her). There are more songs in the film, including a "Reflection" reprise sang by Shang and Mulan (or whatever the equivalent would be now that Stephen's writing the music) after Mulan's identity is revealed, as well as a song detailing Shan Yu's motivations and "Mulan's Decision" with lyrics. Mulan has an older sister and a younger brother, both of whom she views as superior to her due to her sister having married and being much more graceful (the progenitor to Isabela Madrigal, in a sense--but it's not an act) and her brother automatically being more valuable thanks to being male. Shang's also mentioned as having a younger brother, and we get a bit more detail into his personal life, mirroring Mulan's desire to protect her father and make him proud. Most of the film is the same, otherwise. The film makes about the same as the original, with the particular praise for Mulan being a lot less underrated thanks to more music.

Tarzan--While an unspoken musical was considered at the time, the characters instead sing in this version, with director Kevin Lima coming around to it under the condition that Tarzan himself didn't sing while other characters did. During production, Tarzan was retooled in a rather unique way. Taking influence from the critically acclaimed show "Batman: The Animated Series," Tarzan, while still kind and empathetic, was made to be more brooding and mysterious and less humorous in order to help make his character (more) intriguing as well as beguiling the audience. The dreadlock hairstyle is also removed, and Jane, Archimedes and Clayton are American (to diffuse the misconception that only British people can be sophisticated intellectuals) while Jane teaches Tarzan to not just speak English, but French as well, similar to his cousin in the book. The film is just as financially successful, with plans for Jane and Tarzan joining the Disney royal lineup, however this is walked back on when Disney decide Jane is too similar to Belle and concern that a white cast in an African setting would come back to bite them.

Aida--Released at the end of 1999, Disney released their take on "Aida," an opera about an Ethiopian princess who is captured by Egyptians and falls in love with the Captain of the Guard. Disney adapts most of the story in order to create an epic and emotional tale like "Amonute," but without the tragic ending of the original opera. In this version, war is prevented between Egypt and Ethiopia, and Radamès and Aida survive. Certain issues plagued production, from Elton John's resistance to do another animated film and Disney catching wind of Dreamworks' "Prince of Egypt" (which ended up releasing the year before), but it became a worldwide hit at making $400 million at the box office, and praise was brought to the fact that Disney learned from the casting of "Aladdin" and cast actors of Middle Eastern descent for Egyptian characters. Needless to say, Amneris and Radamès join the royal Disney line.

(Note: not sure if Elton John and Tim Rice collaborated here like they did for the stage musical in the OG timeline, or if Alan Menken and/or Stephen Schwartz got involved instead)

Lemme know what you think! I know the renaissance is the Roman Empire for a lot of Disney fans, but I wanted to give it a shot. Maybe I'll tweak it later (currently wondering if a should include "Hocus Pocus," which, while never planned to be an animated film, would probably get more attention outside the Halloween season. If I do, it's replacing TRDU).

Barbie Fairytopia and Barbie Mariposa - A Timeline

This is. A really rough concept of my Barbie Fairytopia timeline, which I made to help my brain understand WHAT is going on in Fairy Princess. The barbie discord I'm in has probably heard a ton of my complaining about my confusion but.... too bad here's more

Note! This is just my theory/headcanon and it very likely contradicts canon SOMEWHERE, but I don't really care >:))))) forget CANON /j

I'm also. Working on a fic based on this heehee... watch me take 30 years tho

Most of it is... the fact that the flight across Fairytopia in FP confused me so bad. As far as we know in the Fairytopia films, there are seven provinces that the Enchantress Rules over. Shimmervale is likely not a part of that, although the Magic Meadow is literally outside their castle. IF they were a part of that, Shimmervale would have had some sort of Guardian, perhaps Amethyst or the Indigo fairy. We don't see this, so it's a question of is Shimmervale actually a part of fairytopia.

ADD THAT to the fact that the castle in Magic of the Rainbow seems to be close-ish to Shimmervale, primarily through the waterfalls. It's even named the Crystal Palace, and we know that Shimmervale is very protective over crystals... ????

SO my basic idea is that the Mariposa films take place HUNDREDS of years (maybe even more) before the Fairytopia films.

This is literally how I think of this at this point. There is so much to go into and there's probably much more that I haven't looked at.

We are starting from the BEGINNING besties

Flutterfield and Shimmervale are established. Possibly from earlier fairies, and there is a tentative peace between the two kingdoms.

The Crystal Fairies accuse Butterfly Fairies of attempting to steal their crystals and the rift is created.

Flutterfield is the unlucky recipient of the Skeezites and that cuts them off even further from Shimmervale and the eventual Fairytopia.

The rift is heightened by legends. (Maybe even some fairies blame Shimmervale for the Skeezites?)

A long while passes, many years, and at some point Marabella does come in with her powers and drives away the Skeezites for the time being. (Powers that perhaps a section of Butterfly Fairies have?)

The events of the first Mariposa film happen. The Skeezites are driven away and Flutterfield is safe again. If any legends come back, it is very easily ones about Shimmervale.

(Silly PLAUSIBLE addition) Henna ends up on the mainland of Fairytopia, through an accident that involves the powers that Marabella has (although much weaker) and scaring off the Skeezites. She ends up finding fairies and showing off these powers, bringing forward possibly the Sparkle fairies.

Fairy Princess happens and the kingdoms are no longer fighting. It's the first time anyone in Flutterfield makes the journey over the ocean since before the Skeezites. Mariposa and Catiana bridge the kingdoms and everything is getting better! Fairies begin to travel back and forth and settle in the future provinces of Fairytopia.

Catiana becomes the first "Enchantress" of Fairytopia, as she strives to get rid of the old feud and to just make life easier for a lot of fairies and try her best to keep them safe. She assigns the first few Guardians and draws her power lightly from a crystal around her neck and the flower from Flutterfield. Her and Mariposa remain great friends.

Through either a mistake or on purpose, something happens to the Heartstone and it becomes the first Blush of Spring. Whether it be them connecting the two kingdoms and transferring the magic to a flower that becomes a symbol, or it broke, the magic is the same, protecting the Spring and such. (Because both of them, when hurt, create cold and snow)

Over many years and renovations, the castle and the city around Shimmervale starts to become the Crystal Palace from MOTR. They begin to use the Crystallites a lot more in their building and it starts to become. More crystalline, I guess. Over this time frame, a forest begins to replace this meadow as fairies come and go, possibly planting or accidentally leaving seeds, haha.

Fairytopia slowly becomes the land we know in Elina's films. Flutterfield, and in turn Mariposa, starts to become more of a legend than anything else. Most fairies don't want to travel the distance much anymore, plus a lot have moved. It's unknown if any remain there, but some likely do.

On Mariposa, too, she is mostly forgotten over a long bout of years, Catiana is soon enough only remembered as the first Enchantress. There are scholars who MAY know mentions of Mariposa, but most of her things have been lost... :( - THAT and she likely spent the rest of her days in Flutterfield, her home.

Elina is born without wings, a small connection to Catiana just not flying at all, with the rainbow in her eye. (Could Catiana or Mariposa had it at some point? Likely Catiana- could be a possible Enchantress thing perhaps...)

The events of Fairytopia 1-3 happen, and then as time goes on, things change... Elina starts training 2 become Enchantress and suddenly she's beginning to learn a lot more about Mariposa, possibly through memories (of Catiana's?), or through Scholars who have grasps on books long forgotten. (Or an Enchantress lesson!)

Elina then tells Bibble Mariposa's story, calling her "her friend", knowing of Flutterfield and the whole thing. (She might also feel as if Mariposa IS a friend after gaining so many memories...) It's a story she has grown familiar with and wishes to share!!! AND it helps out Bibble, so it works out.

Elina could even BE a descendant of Mariposa, finally linking Mariposa and Catiana after hundreds of years.... and that thought just makes me 🥺🥺😭��💕💖💖💖💖

Elina becomes Enchantress, one of many in a long line, but the closest one to Catiana, in a way. She still longs to see what's on the other side of the ocean. She longs to know if Flutterfield still remains.

ANYWAY. That's pretty much all of it!! Like I mentioned above, there is probably so much more that could be gone into and explored, especially as I just skimmed past the fairytopia films, haha.

This idea is one I have fallen in love with and will not let go of. Also. This could make Bibble a descendant of Zee and Anu and I think that's really funny.

Anyway. I'd love to talk about this idea a lot more, so if anyone is interested, heehee..

It's MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day to some of the greatest mothers in Star Wars, and also RIP to you all.

From top to bottom, left to right, all in chronological order:

Shmi Skywalker, you loved your son and believed giving him up to Qui-gon Jinn was the best thing for him. You lived a hard life as a slave, glad you got to have some happiness being married to Cliegg. Probably would have been better if you got to live on Coruscant with Anakin, but you know, Jedi rules and all that.

Padme Naberrie Amidala. This one is hard because you didn't get to raise your children. But it's clear you loved them, and would have been a great mother. Leia and Luke both took after you in different ways, and you were right about Anakin all along--there was still good in him.

Nala Se. People may hate you for being a complex person who's done some things. But's what actually makes you interesting. But you get on this list because you lied, committed sabotage, sat silently in prison for about a year, and finally destroyed all your research and sacrificed your life so your daughter could have freedom with her brothers.

Breha Organa. A dedicated Queen of Alderaan, beloved by her people. Brave, and empathetic, and a good ear to her daughter Leia's concerns. You served your people as a leader should, and fought against the Empire, which took your life.

Princess Leia. The GOAT. Amazing general, Rebel fighter. Like Nala Se, not always a mother that made the best decisions for her son, but they were not done out of malice but misunderstanding, and of course Palpatine getting into your son's head. Another complex mother that made the best decisions she could with what knowledge she had. You died for love of your son, Ben Solo, that he would understood he was in fact loved, and could return to the Light.

Miramir. A mother we know little about prior to her life on planet Hyperkarn, but we know Rey got her knack of fixing things from her. You did your best to save Rey from Ochi of Bestoon. Like a lot of mothers on here, you had limited options and knowledge, and had to make do, even if it led to your daughter have a crappy early life, that was kinda on Sheev and Ochi.

Anyways, Happy Mother's Day to the Dead Mothers of Star Wars. This probably isn't even all of them.

#star wars #star wars mothers #mother's day 2024 #miramir #princess leia #nala se #breha organa #shmi skywalker #Padme Amidala

Modern Nala

Nala's (new) modern redesign was a challenge. In part because the first time I designed human Nala options I used modern fashion... so I dug this grave myself, I'm the only one to blame XD. I still really like my first redesigns for her so go and check those out if you can - I wanted to work with the lion tans, bantu knots and gold accessories. What do you think?

I am the artist!!! Don’t repost without permission & credit! Thank you! Come visit me over on: instagram.com/ellenartistic or tiktok: @ellenartistic

Nalix is snoring very loudly all the while.

Paradox is trying to kick Idris off the bed; Idris retaliates by pressing the end of their candy cigarette on Paradox's lower arms [Bls' and Bo's arms], burning the fusion's skin.

Andrés is calmly reading a book while those two lunatics are fighting.

More fusions to be added in the future!

Do you have any art planned for the 30th anniversary of The Lion King?

(I also found out that it’s coming back to theaters this month!)

I hadn’t planned on making anything, but now that you mention it I would like to try to make something! I don’t know what yet, though. 😂

I love when The Lion King returns to theaters! I saw it a few years back when they released it in 3D. It meant so much to me, considering it was the very first film I ever saw in theaters (I was just a baby), and still remains my favorite Disney movie! 🥰

an updated disney princess legacy challenge

hello!

i have been playing my own version of disney princess legacy challenge since a year and a half now, and i’m about to finish it soon. i have immensely enjoyed playing this legacy, and would like to thank its original creator, MissPlaying. in my game, i created my own version of the challenge by combining rules from three sources and adding my own spice on the mix. i think the result has become a much more story-oriented and aesthetic heavy version that is more challenging than the original but prioritizes the narrative over task solving. i have a lot of respect for the previous versions, and mine is just one take among the others, but if you’d like to give it a try, go ahead!

my sources: MissPlaying: the original version Melinoe: a more challenging take on the original Irene van den Berg: an aesthetically oriented version on the pinterest

some notes: i didn’t want to follow the original order or go chronologically because then all the classical early disney princesses come one after the other, making it a bit boring in my view. shuffling older and more recent princesses makes it interesting with very different types of characters following each other, and this particular order worked well for the transitions within my storyline. second, i focused this around the disney princesses whose films i actually watched, so pocahontas and some of the newer princesses are lacking, but feel free to add them if you want. lastly, when i started playing this, i had very few packs. so my rules kind of reflect the way i gradually acquired more of the packs. feel free to tailor it according to the packs you have! for each gen, i determined a city to live and an aesthethic. if you follow those, please tag me in your photos, i’d love to see!

snow white windenburg. cottage-core

After the death of your father, you soon realized you were not wanted at home anymore. Although you left that place brokenhearted, your optimism soon fills your new life in a cottage with joys of kindness. You have always loved children and animals, and enjoy turning your home into a fun place where kids can eat cookies, do their homework, and play, while animals become your lifelong friends.

Start as a young adult

Complete the friend of the animals aspiration

Have 7 male children friends with all different personality traits

Find your spouse around your home

Never open door to strangers and don’t talk to elderly women

Have 4 children

Max singing skill

Max baking skill

Have pets (forest animals preferably)

[some of the earlier versions has snow white make seven babies as dwarves. i think that makes this gen something like a mini-100-babies-challenge, and players can’t focus on snow’s own story. instead, i just made a club with 7 little boys as my dwarves and focused more on snow’s story of getting used to her new life. my version is quite easy as you see--i was still new to the sims and found it very challenging back then lol! feel free to tweak it a bit to make it more difficult for yourself. (if you have Cottage Living EP pack, go ahead and exploit those possibilities!--i didn’t.)]

tiana . the princess and the frog san myshuno. city pop

Your family’s cottage life is cozy, but there is much more you expect from life: You want to stand on your own feet, earn your own money, experience what the big city has to offer, and taste all the different flavors cuisines of the world provide!

Start as a teenager

Have the ambitious and foodie traits

Work at a bistro (fast food part time job) during teenage years

Father must die before the end of Tiana’s teenage years

Complete the master chef aspiration

Try out all flavors of San Myshuno

Marry someone unattractive, lazy, or with green, OR AN ALIEN

Marry at the romance festival

Own and run your own restaurant before turning elder

[i ended up marrying a normal human sim, and involved an alien later in my game. so i don’t know how it would play out with an alien sim, but go ahead if that sounds interesting to you! at this point the only occult sim variety i had was the aliens.]

megara . hercules san myshuno. film noir

Your parents are in love despite having such opposite personalities, but somehow you never believed in true love. Regular family life bores you, and you have as independent a personality as your mother does. Yet, as you move out to start your own life, you meet the wrong kind of people...

Start as a young adult

Have the noncommital and self-assured traits

Have the villanous valentine aspiration (you don’t have to complete it)

Complete the secret agent career

Have one bad relationship before finding your main partner

Never marry but keep a strong relationship with your partner

Betray your partner but win their heart back

Have an evil friendenemy (this will be your Hades)

Only have one daughter

[megara’s sassy attitude really spices the game up! i had very few worlds back then, and with film noir aesthetic i thought the city went very well, but feel free to put her in another world that you think works better.]

cinderella willow creek. midcentury

Your mother never had a strong maternal instinct, and on top of that having lost your parents so young, and growing up mistreated in a strange household, you have always longed for the warmth of a loving family life. You have always dreamed about taking care of your own home, children, and spouse with all its simple domestic pleasures.

Start as a teenager

Have the romantic and neat traits

Have a family aspiration (I had superparent, but feel free with any)

Mother must die while Cinderella is a toddler and father must die while she’s a child

Have an evil stepmother and two mean step sisters

Live in a lot with filthy trait

Do all the cleaning, cooking, and laundry until getting married

Meet your spouse at a party, leave the party midway

Have four daughters

[tbh the first three disney princesses (snow, cinderella, and aurora) seem to be all obsessed with getting married lol. that was the norm back then, these films were made in 30s-50s! so in my mind cinderella’s home after she gets married is midcentury-modernist in decoration but suburban and somewhat conservative in family lifestyle. with her previous maid-like treatment by her step-family, she was perfectly prepared to be a housewife haha. making a lot of kids suits her too. in the story, ariel had six older sisters but for me that was simply too much, so i made it three + ariel.]

ariel . the little mermaid brindleton bay. kawai

You are just full of energy, and so curious to discover the world! Your family means well, but they are a little overprotective. But it doesn’t hurt to break just a few rules, right?? There is so much to explore and collect out there!

Start as a teenager

Have the clumsy and cheerful traits

Complete the collector’s aspiration

Mother must die before the end of childhood

Have a pool and swim in it everyday

Max dancing skill

Marry your teenage love but never have friendly interactions with them before marriage (Ariel is mute! So mischief pranks and romantic touches are okay, but try to avoid speaking with your love interest as much as you can.)

Have a collection room

Only have one daughter

[i didn’t have Island Living EP pack when i played this, so i made sure that cinderella’s husband was an alien lol. i imagined, instead of swimming in the ocean, they were swimming in the outer space. it’s a bit weird i know, but worked out fantastically well for my storyline! if you have Island Living go ahead and make them actual mermaids.]

jasmine . aladdin magnolia promenade. bohemian

After your mother’s death, you grew afraid of leaving the safety of your home for a while. You really enjoy a serene, peaceful lifestyle, but then again... Someone who interrupts it with crazy ups and downs might become the love of your life after all!

Start as a teenager

Have the loner and self-assured traits

Mother must die before the end of childhood

Have a tiger companion called Raja

Visit the flea market when it comes to town

Don’t leave house unless it’s for school until your first flea market

Marry a poor, criminal street rat OR someone who comes with the welcome wagon

Have a night travel with your partner, going places you never been to

Live with your partner’s alien best friend for a while, and he should control people’s minds (this a really good mod for improved aliens, giving them extra powers--if you have Realm of Magic GP, feel free to make the Genie a spellcaster instead)

Have kids until you get to a daughter

[you can find tigers in the gallery! simmers did a wonderful job creating very realistic tigers. this is not in the rules but my jasmine was really into yoga and self-care, pampering herself with aromatic baths etc. i think that fit very well. that’s partly why i chose magnolia promenade instead of oasis. i thought the latter would be too basic (agrabah desert=oasis desert), and jasmine’s life in the palace was so lush, so i thought some commercial town would work well for her pampered lifestyle.]

nala . the lion king oasis. girl next door

You and your best friend were always a handful as kids, on monkeybars, pirate ships, swings, running around, playing, screaming, and just having the good adventurous life overall. But now your bestie is gone... You miss them so much, but will the two of you ever come together again?

Start as a child

Gain the responsible and empatethetic traits before becoming adult

Max out fitness skill

Spend your teenage years camping away from home

[it felt perfect for nala to be the born in a household with a tiger pet. she’s normally not counted as a typical disney princess (being an animal, lol), but the pinterest version adds her, and i found that really fun. if you have Jungle Adventure GP, feel free to incorporate that!]

aurora . sleeping beauty newcrest. minimalist

You were born with a serious illness (or was it a curse?...) and barely had a chance to meet your parents. In your small, peaceful life, you were still happy growing up, but will your illness come in the way of your finding love, or will love conquer all?

Start as a teenager

Have the lazy and good traits

Complete the soulmate aspiration

Live in seclusion with good friends of the family from toddler to young adulthood

Have a big birthday party for becoming a young adult

Die on your young adult birthday

Live as a ghost secluded in a room until ressurection

Your love interest should revive you

[aurora in the film lives a very humble life with her fairy godmothers, so i thought minimalist aesthetic worked well for her. after she died, i revamped the house to make it look ruined and covered with vines; aurora’s ghost was trapped in the upper floor bedroom with no stairs going down. her lover was downstairs in the ruined house, working on creating ambrosia for weeks. this was my most romantic gen in this legacy.]

mulan mt. komorebi. boyfriend

Your parents are so in love with each other and are so happy to show it all the time that it kind of makes you sick. Your mother, believing that love can save someone from anything in the world, keeps urging you to find a partner ASAP. But that’s not what you want!! Maybe running from that and doing the exact opposite (SUCH AS JOINING THE ARMY) is what you need actually...

[i moved mulan into a military barrack before she reached the captain’s rank when she moved out to her own house. you can find some really cool barracks made by simmers in the gallery. i thought of this a bit too late, but if you wish, you can move mulan much earlier in the legacy so that your later gens coming after her can commemorate their ancestor on mulan day!]

belle . the beauty and the beast britechester. dark academia

Growing up, your household was hardly a center of culture and learning, and we can’t exactly say that your family lineage focused on higher education. But you always loved books, and dreamed about publishing your own works one day. Very well disciplined, you plan to go to university and accomplish amazing things, but who knows what fate keeps in store for you?

Start as a young adult

Have the bookworm and loner traits

that’s it! i’m ending with a picture of belle at her university dorm for now since i haven’t got to alice yet. in the rest of the blog i’ll post more detailed photosets for each gen. i LOVED this story, so i can’t wait to share it with you!
