WinterSpirit809 picked Rapunzel:
Rapunzel does have one selfless moment, protecting Eugene, but for 90% of the movie was her talking about her dreams. Kind of like Tiana

Silverrose1991 picked Cenerentola:
A reminder: I'm not considering Anna because it's been a long time since I last saw Frozen.

She spent her spare time sewing clothes for mice and looking after the animals, and I believe it must've been hard to convince her stepmother to keep Bruno around. These are pretty selfless acts. But looking at it from a different perspective, if she hadn't cared for the mice, she'd been left friendless and without any allies, and she kept Bruno because she felt an emotional connection to him, since he had been a gift from her father. So it's not completelt selfless.

Snow White, on the other hand, endangered her safety to help someone in need - it wasn't the wisest move, but it was an act of charity. She also apologized to the forest animals for frightening them after going through a traumatic experience, which meant putting her emotional well-being after theirs.

wavesurf picked Belle:
For 99% of the film it's all about Belle's dreams. There's the one selfless moment involving giving up her freedom for her dad, but that's it--- the film promptly goes right back to how "he, the beast is unfair" to Belle ( pout), and there's a round of criticizing the beast in front of the night-robe, and then the audience goes right back to Belle's preoccupation with her own self-interest. ( Belle tricks Cogsworth into giving her a tour of the castle, and then blatantly snoops in the West Wing, after expressly being told not to do so. Belle compounds this, by being caught red-handed, and then chooses to run away and break her promise to the beast). Belle does little to change her own mind. Instead, the beast does the wooing ( with the library and the ballroom evening dinner), and he does the changing, as he gives up Belle in order to let her go back to her sick dad. And how does Belle repay the beast? Belle inadvertently sends her stalker and a mob to the beast's home, all while trying to get her dad out of a pickle. (Belle could have outwitted Gaston and his schemes, and made her love for the beast a real deal by protecting him in return..Why did all of that reading about a prince in disguise, a giant and a beanstalk, and things not being what they seem lead to to no light-bulb going off? All those books Belle read, even and including Shakespeare? Yes, you see Belle reading from Romeo and Juliet in one of the deleted scenes. Even Romeo and Juliet used some subterfuge, and outwitted their enemies to preserve their love). I find Belle about as selfless as all of the other princesses who have currently been eliminated. Belle's certainly not much better than, say, Rapunzel or Anna. Belle only did one selfless act, and so did Rapunzel and Anna. The movie doesn't present Belle as a selfless person, save for her "one act" involving her dad. All the rest of the film displays Belle's private selfish concerns going awry.

audreygrace412 picked Cenerentola:
This one is really hard because all of these princesses have shown great acts of selflessness and no real acts of self centeredness.

I only chose Cinderella because I can't think of much selfless she does beyond rescuing and clothing the mice and birds.

Rapunzel seems to be always putting her mother's (Gothel's) needs and wants before her own. On one hand, she's been raised that way but on the other hand, she does seem to care very much about how her actions will affect others. She does offer her enslavement to Gothel as a trade for his freedom but this wasn't entirely selfless because I don't believe she thought she had any way of escaping anyways. There's no reason to believe Gothel would not have kept her chained up after that and Eugene/Flynn was really always going to be the only way Rapunzel was going to really get to fully escape free.

Snow White thinks about finding love and outside of that, she doesn't seem to much think about herself but rather what needs or should be done. When she's nearly assassinated, she finds refuge in the cottage and doesn't immediately comfort herself with food and entertainment but instead thinks of how dirty the place is and how much the could be-orphans living there might need someone like a mother to look out for them so she immediately fills that role wanting to help others before herself.

Mulan potentially gives up her entire chance of a future just to save her father's life. She doesn't think for one second that she will be 1 woman stuck in an army of all men and forced to fight to the death for the entire Chinese population - or she does and still chose to go anyways - because she seems to be only thinking about how her father has served his time in the military already and is now too old and should be retired rather than drafted.

Anna might come off selfish because she is constantly trying to get Elsa's attention but she also had her memory manipulated so she remembers all of the fun times hanging out with Elsa with none of the magical or negative memories where anything bad happened. This was sure to leave Anna very confused but she never seemed to give up on Elsa which shows a good deal of selflessness to me. When she finally figured out Elsa's problem after Elsa ran away, Anna went right after not thinking of herself and her new prince but of her sister and her well-being. Furthermore, the end scene where Anna gives up her own life and stands in front of a sword while again giving up on having true love, is one of the absolute most selfless acts by a DP ever.

Belle spends the entire movie putting her father before herself. In the beginning she put's her fathers need for companionship and support above her own dreams of adventure. When her father is taken, she immediately offers herself in his place because she's thinking of his life and well-being over her own. When she's falling in love with the Beast, she sees her father dying in the winter cold and again puts him before her own love and blooming relationship. Furthermore, when Gaston goes to attack her father and the Beast, she doesn't think for a second about herself but only about defending those she loves. She's definitely one of the most selfless princesses.

They're all pretty selfless at this point, I just feel like Snow is the least selfless.
