Hair. Itâs way more important to a Disney Princess than one might assume. And not just for Rapunzel (Mandy Moore), who makes awesome use of her flowing locks in Tangled . No, the color of a characterâs hair can also make waves, as when toy companies found out that Ariel of The Little Mermaid was going to be a redhead. Basically, they freaked out. During a press day to celebrate the movieâs 30th anniversary, The Little Mermaid co-director Ron Clements told CinemaBlend:
John Musker and I, we wrote the original script. And our intention was always that she would be a redhead. ⊠[But] the Tyco Toys company was making the dolls. And when they came in, and they saw that she was a redhead, they were horrified. They said, âAll of our research,â at that time, âshows that redheaded dolls have never sold. They donât sell.â And theyâre making the dolls. And we said, âWell, Iâm sorry, but sheâs going to be a redhead.â The truth is, they were so panicky about it, that the very first Ariel dolls that were made, she was not a redhead. She was kind of a strawberry blonde. And people wanted the dolls, they had to go back and remake the dolls because they wanted her to have red hair. Nowadays, you see that hair color, itâs not that unusual anymore.
Itâs no longer unusual because Ariel set a new standard for redheaded heroines in the Disney universe, and beyond. And while the red hair didnât really break out after The Little Mermaid â which is celebrating its anniversary with a 4K rerelease of the film â the hair on Ariel is a distinct trademark, and one that helps her stand apart from all of the other Disney Princesses.
Even though former Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg opposed the red hair , as well. For totally different reasons. Ron Clements recalls to CinemaBlend:
Jeffrey Katzenberg had different ideas, I think. And for whatever reason, a lot of what he saw early on was black-and-white animation footage, which are just pencil drawings. And she sort of looks blonde. I think if you look at a pencil test, you would imagine her hair being very light. But when he first saw that she was a redhead, he was concerned. And I remember him saying at the time, âEverybody knows all mermaids are blonde.â I donât know exactly where that came from. [laughs]
Now all I want to see is how that red hair looks on the new 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray that Disney is releasing on behalf of The Little Mermaid âs anniversary. Here is Ron Clements telling the story of why some little kids have Ariel dolls with strawberry blonde hair (and why thatâs a huge collectorâs item now):
Ariel made her triumphant return to the big screen last year in the princess scene in Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-it Ralph 2 . There has been talk about a potential live-action Little Mermaid adaptation, similar to the Lion King , Dumbo and Aladdin movies coming to theaters in 2019. No movement on it yet, so for now, we have to enjoy the 30-year-old animated classic, which will be available for purchase (opens in new tab) on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD on February 26.

Disney has featured plenty of great heroines over the years, and the ones who have fiery red hair are some of the most memorable and beloved.
Disney has presented fans with many diverse characters who all have unique appearances. Fans agree that the artwork for characters is very important to the overall mood of the production. Disney's female characters, in particular, come with different looks and outfits as well as gorgeous flowy hair of all varieties.
There are blondes, brunettes, redheads, and even some characters with more exceptional hair colors and styles. None are more impactful and memorable than the wonderful cartoon characters with red hair, though. Some are more liked than others, but overall these ginger Disney characters are the most unforgettable heroines.
Updated on September 22, 2021, By Lynn Gibbs: Disney has some of the most memorable redheaded cartoon characters in a sea of cartoons. From The Little Mermaid 's Ariel to Brave 's Merida, there's no character more striking and eye-catching than these red-headed beauties. But it's not just their hair that sets them apart from the other Disney heroines; it's their spunky personalities. These brave characters all have something in common: a desire for independence and to have their voices heard. So not only are they fiercely strong but their unique hair color sets them apart from Disney princesses like Aurora, Cinderella, and Belle.
In Who Framed Roger Rabbit , Jessica Rabbit is Roger's wife. She is suspected of being disloyal to Roger and being part of a plot to frame him. Who Framed Roger Rabbit was unique for its time due to the blending of live-action and animation.
This Disney redhead is not likable for a number of reasons. She is depicted as a sultry, unfaithful, scheming, character who leaves the audience dubious about her intentions throughout the entire film. It isn't until the second half that her true loving nature is revealed and viewers realize they were greatly mistaken. By the end, this redhead became a standout Disney heroine due to her selflessness and bravery.
In Brave , viewers witness Merida, with her voluminous red locks , embark on a great quest to save her mother from a curse. The reason that Merida must take this quest is that she was the one who brought it on to her family in the first place.
The story follows this fiery redhead as she tries to undo her wrongs, grow up, and face reality about her responsibilities as a princess. Merida has many redeeming qualities, making her an incredible role model for viewers. Her red hair also makes for incredible fan art. Still, compared to other Disney redheads, Merida isn't as likable due to the mess she caused.
The story of the small girl in the movie Thumbelina (which is not a Disney movie, but does come from former Disney animator Don Bluth) is a fantasy about fairies, flowers, and relationships with other small animals. It became a charming fairy-based movie filled with wonder.
The fairytale film follows Thumbelina, who is mothered by a real-size human and kidnapped by frogs before finally being saved by a fairy prince. Thumbelina learns to accept herself for who she is while teaching a hot-shot prince the meaning of true love and compassion. Her likability comes from her good heart, innocent nature, and romantic fantasies. And while her hair isn't fiery as some of the others, she earns her spot.
Frozen 's lovable Anna became a household icon and she never disappointed the fans who are completely obsessed with her and her sister, Elsa. Still, Anna didn't understand that her sister suffered a traumatizing childhood due to her secret power.
During a time of great uncertainty, Anna decided to leave her kingdom and her people in the hands of a man she didn't know. She then embarked on a deadly journey to find her sister â the rightful queen â who didn't want to be found. Of course, one can't forget how Anna forces a random guy to be her travel companion. In the end, if it wasn't for Anna's bravery and perseverance, Frozen wouldn't have had a happy ending. Her bubbly and energetic personality â matched with her tenacity â is what made her so likable.
The Little Mermaid 's Ariel is a princess who will always be loved and admired by fans. She fought hard for her love to prevail and went against anything that stood in her way. While her father thought Ariel's worst traits were that she was curious and rebellious, they were actually what set Ariel apart from the others. Her headstrong nature is what makes her such a fam-favorite.
Some viewers might say she should have been happy with her life as King Triton's daughter because she had a loving family, a beautiful voice, and everything else a sea princess could ever want. Yet, Disney's cherished redhead proved that the heart wants what it wants and she didn't stop until she reached her goals. She's daring and brilliant and likable.
The free-spirited character Jessie is introduced in Toy Story 2 as an energetic and spunky pull-string cowgirl toy. This redhead really lived up to her role as a fiery girl with a lot of wits. Her headstrong personality made her one of the bravest heroines in Disney animation. Unlike many female characters in Disney's older works, Jessie never needed to be saved by a man.
She quickly became one of the most likable characters in the franchise, as she added life and color to the story. Jessie suffered some trauma after being thrown into a charity box by her owner, but she overcame her circumstance, making her character in the popular Toy Story franchise one of the most progressive.
Jenny is a cute little redheaded girl from a Disney movie that is often forgotten , Oliver & Company. The animated film introduced the darling Jenny, a determined character with tons of passion and love for her animal friends. Although Jenny seemed like she had it all, she was also lonely. When she found a stray kitten named Oliver, she took him in and raised him as her own. Unbeknownst to Jenny, Oliver already belonged to a pack of stray dogs who were on a mission to bring him back.
Jenny is a heroine who will stop at nothing to protect her new kitten Oliver and give him the home he deserves. She doesn't get credit for being a Disney princess but she definitely performs a lot of good deeds and has very admirable traits.
Though full of comedic hijinks, A Goofy Movie is actually one of Disney's deepest films . Throughout the movie, Roxanne doesn't have many scenes, but she still manages to be a heroine in the end. She is the popular girl at school, though she only has eyes for Max, a clumsy kid whom she finds charming and funny.
In the movie, Roxanne manages to help Max realize that he should be honest with himself and be who he really is rather than what he thinks others want him to be. Roxanne stands out with her red locks and stunning smile and she adds a whole lot of character and classiness to this silly comedy. Thanks to her constant kindness, brilliance, and confidence, it's hard not to like Roxanne.
Mrs. Incredible herself, Helen Parr, is a redheaded superhero who is ready to fight crime at every turn. Her role in The Incredibles proves her to be a goodhearted, witty, and loving mother to her super-kids. She's a character who can do it all and was one of the most intelligent characters in The Incredibles .
When her husband goes missing, Helen suits up and is ready to save him no matter what danger is involved. She took time off from fighting crime to raise her family, but when she's needed for the greater good, Mrs. Incredible rises to the occasion. Fortunately, her children stow away in her plane and help save their family from doom. Helen is one of the most likable Disney redhead heroines for her devotion to family and her ability to spring into action at any given time.
Disney's Enchanted is a blend between the real world and the animated world. This unique aspect made the movie more interesting because it gave viewers a more relatable princess story.
Giselle is a likable character because of her many charms and flaws. She learns the meaning of true love, an important lesson. She is a princess whose story really melts the hearts of viewers and remains relevant in Disney's movie timeline.

I spent rather a lot of my childhood (who am I kidding, and some of my teenage years) singing along to Disney songs in the car or watching the films on a Sunday night.
Itâs only in the last couple of years, while rediscovering old favourites and some newer offerings with my gingerful boys, that Iâve noticed how well-represented the redhead community is in Disney films. Considering only 1-2% of the worldâs population has natural red hair, Disneyâs love affair with ginger is striking.
Perhaps red hair is a handy way to make the characters stand out. Many Disney heroes and heroines begin their stories feeling like they donât fit in, until they discover their true selves.
Gingers in films or on TV are often portrayed as villains or with negative traits like fiery, unpredictable tempers, but not in Disney films, where the characters are more rounded.
Disneyâs redheads teach us how to be ourselves, and fearless enough to follow our own path. Here are a few of my favourites. Whoâs yours?
Rebellious romantic, and probably the most recognisable of Disneyâs redheads. Which of us hasnât lusted after Princess Arielâs magnificent mermaid red hair?
The rumour is there were disputes between filmmakers and studio bosses about whether Ariel should be a redhead or a blonde. In the end they decided red contrasted well with her green tail.
His hair colour wasnât mentioned in J M Barrieâs original story, but Disney gave the boy who never wants to grow up a tousled ginger mop so of course thatâs how I picture him as I read the classic tale to my eldest.
