When we think of princess movies, Disney classics often come to mind first. However, there’s a whole kingdom of films out there featuring royals that don’t bear the Disney trademark. These tales of triumph, adventure, and enchantment are perfect for anyone looking to explore something beyond the Mouse House. Here is a list of the 11 best princess movies that aren’t crafted by Disney:

1.The Princess Bride (1987)– A fairy tale adventure about a beautiful young woman and her one true love. He must find her after a long separation and save her, challenging the evil prince.

2.The Swan Princess (1994)– This animated musical tells the story of Princess Odette, transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer’s curse, and her quest to reclaim her title and kingdom.

3.Anastasia (1997)– Although often mistaken for Disney, this film follows an amnesiac orphan named Anya who sets out to discover if she is the long-lost Russian princess, Anastasia Romanov.

4.The Little Princess (1995)– A young girl attending an exclusive boarding school in London becomes impoverished after receiving news that her father was killed in action but doesn’t lose her grace or spirit.

5.Quest for Camelot (1998)– This animation brings us into a world filled with dragons and magic as we follow a plucky young heroine who dreams of becoming a knight and embarks on a quest to save Camelot.

6.Ella Enchanted (2004)– In this charming take on Cinderella, Ella must break the gift/curse of obedience given to her by a misguided fairy godmother to win back the kingdom and find her true love.

7.Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998)– A fresh take on the Cinderella tale set in Renaissance France, where we witness Cinderella navigate life at home and eventually at court using wit rather than magic.

8.Enchanted April (1992)– Not exactly a princess movie, but it carries the feel as four English women rent a castle in Italy to try and come to terms with their lives and relationships during the 1920s.

9.Mirror Mirror (2012)– This film offers up an eclectic new version of Snow White complete with seven rebellious dwarves assisting in taking down an evil queen.

10.A Little Princess (1995)– Another adaptation where our protagonist Sarah navigates hard times with grace when she’s relegated to servitude at an all-girls school after learning her father was killed in WWI.

11.Princess Mononoke (1997)– Hayao Miyazaki’s epic animated fantasy about a young warrior prince in medieval Japan who finds himself caught in the struggle between the supernatural guardians of a forest and the humans who consume its resources.

Each of these films offers a unique spin on classic themes, enchanting characters, or new worlds for audiences looking for some royal storytelling beyond Disney’s dominion.
