From Trolls to Princess Mononoke, these are the 10 best princess movies that are not from Disney.
Disney has secured itself throughout animation history as being at the forefront of princess and princess-related stories, with some of the most impactful and memorable stories of a generation being those of Disney princesses. From all-time animated classics like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty to more modern stories such as Frozen and Moana, Disney has always been at the forefront regarding princesses.
9 'Thumbelina' Thumbelina follows the story of the titular Thumbelina, a tiny girl no bigger than a thumb who emerges from a flower, and is soon raised by the old woman that finds her as her own. She soon finds companionship when the fairy prince Cornelius visits her, and the two fall in love, but after Thumbelina is captured, the two must battle against the creatures of the woods to find each other once again.
While the film may not have succeeded at beating Disney at its own game, Quest for Camelot still has its high points thanks to its highly engaging duo of Kayley and Garrett, who work off of each other tremendously. The medieval time period of King Arthur also makes for a perfect unexplored time period for a 90s-style princess story, and Quest for Camelot is able to deliver on its premise with a slew of creativity.
More than just a story of a princess, The Tale of Despereaux tells the story of the impact and strength a princess and her optimism can have upon her entire kingdom and the darkness that spreads in its absence. The film also sports a spectacular voice cast featuring the likes of Emma Watson as Princess Pea and Matthew Broderick and Dustin Hoffman as Despereaux and Roscuro.
4 'The Thief and the Cobbler' The Thief and the Cobbler tells the story of a prosperous and legendary Golden City, made famous for its protection thanks to a trio of golden balls that sit atop the city's tallest tower. Following the disappearance of the balls, the city is seemingly destined for the destruction of death, and it soon falls upon a local cobbler, Tack, and Princess Yum-Yum in order to retrieve the balls and save the city.
2 'The Tale of the Princess Kaguya' The Tale of the Princess Kaguya tells the story of a tiny girl who is found inside a shining stalk of bamboo by and old bamboo cutter and his wife. They soon take it upon themselves to raise the young girl, soon realizing that the is growing up as rapidly as a stalk of bamboo.
