These Disney characters have helped the toy industry in a big way in establishing a variety of children’s products like dolls, sing along videos, accessories and so on.

These Disney characters are very famous. Any little girl could answer about her favorite princess with ease. Snow White is the first of the Disney Princesses to make her debut in Disney’s first full length animated movie series. "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs" was released in 1937. The kindhearted Snow White has touched every child in some one way or another teaching them about good deeds and benevolence.

Cinderella’s character is gentle and she is a kind girl who is ill treated by her stepmother and her step sisters. This is a story of faith and hope prevailing despite the many hurdles posed by her family upon her. Cinderella dreamt of a day when a handsome Prince would come along and sweep her off her feet and marry her. She dreamt of a life full of happiness, a life where she would not have to bother about cleaning the floors and the daily chores where life would all but be about a glorious sunshine every day. When Cinderella’s family receives a royal invitation to attend a ball which has been extended to all eligible maidens in the land, Cinderella too, like the girls of her family, longs to attend the ball. This wish of hers is not fulfilled because of the wily ways of her stepmother who thinks that Cinderella could be a hindrance to her daughters being noticed at the grand ball. Cinderella manages to attend the ball, courtesy of a fairy who grants her a beautiful chariot, a ball dress and a fine pair of foot wear, completely transforming her. Cinderella, with the new makeover looks gorgeous and the price is enamored by her beauty. However, when the clock strikes 12 Cinderella’s dress, chariot, and everything the fairy godmother has given her will disappear. She leaves the ball and the prince in a hurry, leaving one shoe behind. Cinderella and the Prince manage to again discover each other and get married, thereby giving the story a "Happily Ever After" ending. She makes for a classic Disney Princess and an all time favorite not just for kids but for grown-ups as well, the world over.
