I’m sad that Mary Costa wasn’t at least mentioned. She gave Aurora such a sweet voice, and also had an AMAZING operatic singing voice.

[@reikun86]

Same here. I loved to hear her sing Once Upon a Dream and I Wonder.

[@mariobrony1396]

Ikr?!?!

[@lauraconley6604]

Plus, she's my favorite princess.

[@manuellanampeera3048]

Ikr! Now am feeling nostalgia of rewatching Sleeping Beauty

[@waverider9920]

I actually came here to hear about Mary Costa and was so disappointed

[@Jay-Zech]

Mandy Moore and Anika Noni Rose brought so much life to Rapunzel and Tiana. Definitely my personal top two picks. They make the characters feel like someone you’d actually know in real life.

[@n19ntendods]

I couldn’t agree more! They’re my personal top two picks, as well! A part of me also wishes we could have a Tangled and Princess and the Frog crossover! 🤩🤩🤩

[@trinaq]

Ariel was my favourite Disney Princess growing up, Jodi definitely brought a lot of exuberance and curiosity in her turn as Ariel. I had no idea that she was Sam, Robert's secretary, in "Enchanted" until recently.

[@rainbowrunner1550]

Paige O'Hara also made a cameo in Enchanted. I think she appeared on the TV as Edward was in the hotel room. I like how Alan Menken also included snippets of the themes that associate with those characters in the scenes featuring their actors.

[@andreasmeelie1889]

It took a long time for me to actually learn that fact too in the past. Lol:)

[@mariobrony1396]

Where the heck is Mary Costa? Despite the fact that it was brief, she blew it out of the park as Aurora

[@cameronjr8]

Ming-Na Wen did a great job as not only Mulan but Melinda May from Agents of SHIELD and Fennec Shand from Star Wars!

[@geviesanta3631]

This woman is a queen in any projects she appears in.

[@trinaq]

Major kudos to Idina and Kristen as Elsa and Anna, they were the best choices for these magical sisters.

[@nmernst]

THE princess that paved the way for Belle, Mulan, and all the rest. The Little Mermaid and Ariel ushered in a renaissance for Disney (and particularly Disney princesses/heroines) that is still felt to this day.

[@arielle8010]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@n19ntendods]

Anika Noni Rose’s performance as Tiana is criminally underrated! I barely see any people say Tiana is their favourite Disney Princess, which sucks cos she is, to me! Plus, her lungs are golden, since she really nails high notes, as shown in Almost There and Down in the New Orleans (Reprise)! 😍😍😍👸🏾🐸⭐️🫁🎵🎶 Tho, I also love Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Kelly Marie Tran as Raya! They brought a lot to their characters, as well.

[@RoseTylerxx]

I can say she is definitely my husband's favourite Princess. She isn't mine(Belle is my favourite)but I have a lot of respect for her!

[@n19ntendods]

@@RoseTylerxx 😉

[@vetarlittorf1807]

Linda Larkin deserves more than just an honorable mention!

[@jessicalyme6505]

It just speaks to her greatness that Lea Salonga sang for two Disney princesses

[@kylieruby2276]

Mandy Moore as Rapunzel made my fairytale from a childhood memory to a lifetime favorite 😍

[@matthewescudero4287]

When I first saw Tangled at 6, (my sister forced me to watch it with her, but ended up enjoying it) Rapunzel was my first crush, both in general and in cartoons. Mandy Moore did a great job both voicing her and doing her singing voice.

[@Chantara27]

Anika Noni Rose as Tiana and Mandy Moore as Rapunzel are my favorites

[@taytorty]

it’s cool when the voice actress can do her character’s singing as well

[@misticadavis]

Jodi Benson (Ariel) is Patrick Dempsey's secretary in Enchanted. I love her as Ariel.

[@byMidnyt]

And Paige O'Hara is the mean woman on the soap opera the guys are watching in the hotel room. This always made me smile cause Belle was my favorite and this character was such a departure from the princess.

[@TheImaginator972]

Demi Moore has delivered a great voice performance as The beautiful gypsy girl 'Esmeralda'.

[@sarcap878]

Mandy Moore as Rapunzel ❤

[@adriangarcia543]

Nice

[@alexmeyer5260]

Linda Larkin as Jasmine and Ilene Woods as Cinderella deserve more than just honorable mentions.

[@jackrlmiller]

Hey, what about Mary Costa voicing Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty? Don’t forget Mary Costa and Disney’s 3rd official Disney Princess.

[@endopoth7]

After honorable mentions I was like “I can’t believe Ariel isn’t in this” (my fav princess) Then I thought she better be 1! Yes!

[@paigepangrazio8142]

Moana's voice actress is by far my favorite. The love the movie. One of the main reasons is not only Moana herself but because The Rock is in it & he's my childhood in a nutshell. Watching him in or out of the WWE ring is so special to me. I love Elsa's as well. Frozen forever💙❄

[@kaylalala6342]

I know this is a technicality, but I would have LOVED to see Anastasia's voice actors up there. The singing and talking voices brought so much to the character and she honestly just has a beautiful voice

[@lilac3266]

stephanie deserved higher just for the fact she was the only one to sing such a challenging I want song whilst in early labor. Truly a dedicated and phenomenal actress who deserves all her recognition!

[@evelyngrace3360]

????

[@lilac3266]

@@evelyngrace3360 what’s the confusion?

[@sessionshannah]

I love Anika as Tiana I mean the talent is magnificent

[@n19ntendods]

Absolutely! She’s one of the reasons Tiana is my favourite Disney Princess!

[@emilyschannel131]

Every single Disney princess has the best voice actress 🤩💖 (especially Mirabel, Elsa, Elena of Avalor, Raya, Kida, Esmeralda and Megara)

[@RobertoDTavares]

Tarzan 1999, Minnie Driver as Jane Porter.

[@adriangarcia543]

Nice

[@janellerod4865]

Everyone is perfect for their character🥰

[@indigoechos6796]

No Aurora? Her voice is stunning

[@Naruto0s44]

I forgot demi Moore voice Esmeralda in the hunchback of Notre Dame lol

[@n19ntendods]

Auli’i Cravalho absolutely nailed the comedy of Moana! She has a ton of funny little quips I remember, on occasion.

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Singer Lea Solanga provided the singing voices of both Mulan and Jasmine

[@jediclonekag13]

Kristen Bell as Anna should've gotten an honorable mention.

[@GamingFanactic911]

Mandy Moore and Jodi Benson were phenomenal with their roles and probably two of my favorites of all time. 😊🥰

[@samuelcollantes1175]

I like princesses and their voices as well (but mostly, their voices in spanish, being a spanish speaker myself) but anywho, happy sunday Ms Mojo and God bless You, take care and see You soon for more.

[@razorshark9320]

My favorite Disney Princesses are Belle, Jasmine, Ariel, Raya, Moana, and Cinderella. I love the remake princesses as well. I would love to see a video of Top 10 Disney Female Animal Voice Acting Performances.

[@jacksonconley5117]

My Top 3 on here are Ming Na Wen, Mandy Moore, and Paige O’Hara.

[@jazieldelacruz5582]

Menzel as Elsa Moore as Rapunzel Noni as Tiana Is like saying in if you were the director to find your true master piece to complete your project, like what in K. Feige, for instance finds true perfect actors to cast in playing a super villain in CGI effects. Idina Menzel as the protagonist in Frozen is what more kills me as a perfect voice casting in that franchise, either like feel how many times I ever would like to hear the song "let it go"👍👍👍💙❄️❄️❄️

[@dannysimion]

Top two spot will always belong to those two Renaissance princess. They are so well known for their vocals. My third choice is Judy Kuhn for Pocahontas. I grew up watching this era. I love it!❤

[@summerjonz]

I wish more Disney princesses could have more roles in CN shows.

[@user-gd6vn5vy5v]

Jodi Benson is my favorite Disney Princess voice actress

[@reikun86]

She's also great as both Tour Guide Barbie and Barbie in The Toy Story movies.

[@Showman_87]

Snow White and Cinderella should definitely be in the top 10. Snow proved that audiences could care for an animated character as much as a live actor which seemed unthinkable at that time. And Cinderella played a large part in saving Disney from bankruptcy after WW2 which helped fund the construction of Disneyland and Walt venturing into television. Had the performances of these two not been so impactful during especially hard times Disney would not have survived

[@navidhudson7065]

Agreed especially since these two were the OG Disney Princesses. Their voice actors really don't get much credit for bringing them to life.

[@tracy_222]

Love all these movies👍🏻❤️🎥love all the beautiful voices in these movies👍🏻❤️🎶

[@cair124]

Stephanie Beatriz should be higher on this list. She recorded "Waiting on a Miracle" while in labor with her daughter!

[@lilac3266]

THIS!! she recorded almost all her songs pregnant and put so much heart into mirabel

[@systemshocker2875]

No, I think she had contractions while she recorded that song from what I can recall

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

That’s a great voice in the movie!

[@zamyafields6513]

*MY FAVORITES:* Jodi Benson as Ariel Susan Egan as Megara Anika Noni Rose as Tiana Adriana Caselotti as Snow White Linda Larkin as Jasmine Ilene Woods as Cinderella Paige O'Hara as Belle Mandy Moore as Rapunzel Idina Menzel as Elsa Stephanie Beatriz as Mirabel Minnie Driver as Jane Porter Ming-Na Wen as Mulan Kelly Marie Tran as Raya

[@n19ntendods]

Nice lost! But also Kelly Marie Tran as Raya.

[@katherineknapp4370]

Why did y'all leave the best Disney movie ever, Pocahontas? She is epic and powerful and her story in the movies is based on true stories! How could leave her out? Please make a part two just for Pocahontas please?

[@navidhudson7065]

Ikr I didn't like that she was left out especially since Pocahontas is an official Disney Princess compared to some even in this list.

Belle is my favorite Princess and see Paige is doing talking and i see behind the scene and microphone while Belle is talking to the Beast and she can sing beautiful singing voice and very cool

[@moviesmusicandmore653]

First, I love this list but I was kind of hoping to see some of the Disney princesses that took television by storm. Also, ironically Jodi Benson played another mermaid in a television series. She was aqua girl in the Batman beyond series.
