    I’m surprised that the Frozen sisters are 21 and 24. I thought they were closer in age, and younger.

    I can’t help but notice the earlier entries are tagged as younger when there’s no real notable age gap between, say, Jasmine and Elsa. Jane Porter, from Tarzan, could easily be in her late-20s/early-30s. Aurora and Cinderella could be anywhere from a very mature 16 to a slightly immature 24 (if their birthdays weren’t a pivotal part of their plots, anyway). Mulan is punching way above her weight class at age 16. Esmerelda could pass as early 30s, easily, just on her mannerism and professional talent.

    The only one that really works at this age bracket is Alice.

      I’m not sure Alice would even qualify as a Disney Princess, unless there’s some lineage I’m unaware of. She’s already one of the few without some sort of romantic subplot.

      Mulan… Aristocracy with a royal award maybe, but not really royalty either.
