Snow White is the first Disney Princess, making her debut in the 1937 masterpiece Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. As the star of Disney's first-ever full-length animated feature film, she set the template for the "official" Disney Princess franchise. In 2026, she remains the "leader" of the group in traditional lineups, followed by Cinderella (1950) and Aurora (1959). It is important to note the distinction between "first princess created" and "first in the official lineup." While some earlier short films featured royal-like characters, Snow White is the first to be part of a feature film and the recognized cornerstone of the Disney Princess brand. Her legacy is celebrated globally, and she continues to have a major presence in Disney parks, including her own "Enchanted Wish" attraction and a central role in the nightly parades.
