One of the things everyone thinks about when they think of Disney is “princess.” The Disney Princess universe has been growing and growing over the years, and we now have an impressive list of princesses that may or may not need saving. Let’s see how we can watch Disney Princess movies in order.
One of the best ways to go about watching Disney princess movies in order is to go about things by the date of release. In this way, you not only get to watch an evolution of Disney’s princesses but also an evolution of animation over the decades.
One thing we’re going to point out, however, is that not all your favorite leading animated ladies are also part of the Princess list. For instance, Elsa and Anna do not fall under the Princess Line, as Disney calls it. So, we’re going to take a look at two different lists – the official one and the unofficial one that we’re all actually interested in watching.
How to Watch Disney Princess Movies – Official List
Disney only has twelve official princesses, so we’re only going to mention the movies that feature them. We’re also including live-action films, shorts, and sequels because the world needs to watch more Disney princess movies.
