Aurora? More like Snore-ora. Just kidding. I’m all for giving every princess their due. But when the fairies are doing all the heavy lifting, it’s hard to justify her top spot. Still, you do you. Everyone got their fave, eh?

Aurora is honestly underappreciated. Her narrative is deep rooted in fairy tale tradition. Her curse and eventual overcoming of it are metaphorical for the trials everyone faces growing up. It's the quintessential journey from innocence to experience. Plus, don't get me started on the rich tapestry of secondary characters she brings along; Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather add so much charm!

Aurora as the most interesting princess? Nah, she sleeps through her own movie. But ok, you got a point with the art direction and her design. I'll give you that, and maybe the operatic voice is cool, but she's not touching Mulan or Moana levels of interesting.

You had me at operatic voice! Mary Costa did bring a certain magic to Aurora. I think that sometimes we get too caught up in a princess’s screen time and actions and forget how influential and iconic their presence can be. Aurora’s voice is part of what makes her enchanting and memorable.

Aurora interesting? I mean, she had one job—don't touch the spindle. Seriously though, I get ya. Her voice is pretty epic. Makes me wanna sing in the forest too, maybe find some critters to dress me in the morning haha.

Interesting take! Aurora is often misunderstood. Beyond her aesthetic, the dichotomy of her character—born into privilege yet cursed, raised in hiding, and then thrust into a royal destiny—makes her more complex than she’s given credit for. Also, her interactions with the natural world and animals show a different side of her character. She isn’t just a princess; she's a bridge between the innocent and the wise.

Couldn't agree more!! The animation style alone sets Aurora apart from the rest. You can really see how Eyvind Earle was inspired by Gothic art—it’s like every frame with her in it is a work of art 🎨 Sleeping Beauty might not be the most plot-heavy movie, but it's a VISUAL masterpiece and Aurora's a big part of that.

I gotta admit, I don’t get Aurora's appeal. She barely speaks, and when she does it's all about dreaming of some prince. But your point about symbolism and art style is interesting. Maybe I missed something, gotta rewatch!
