Abstract
This chapter charts four moments in the development of the Disney diva. In The Little Mermaid movie in 1989, Ursula was a new kind of Disney villain, a featured character who sings one of the musical’s most memorable songs. Belle in Beauty and the Beast (1991) is a character type we call the prindiva, a combination of princess and diva, a diva-esque princess. Over the history of her figurations as an animated character, a Broadway star, and a live-action movie heroine, Belle is a Disney Renaissance princess who also integrates diva characteristics. The 1998 Disney-produced, made-for-TV movie Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella features a multiracial diva ensemble and reveals how diva traits can adhere to both good and bad female characters. The animated movie Frozen (2013) stars a diva heroine, Elsa, yet still shores up the princess rather than supplanting her.
