<P> Jasmine is based on Princess Badroulbadour from the One Thousand and One Nights tale of "Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp". </P> <P> Jasmine is one of the first Disney princesses to identify as a minority and to be a part of a movie taking place in an area other than Europe . While a part of the new line of progressive princesses, shown by how Jasmine is more likely to leave the castle and has immense curiosity about the world beyond the palace walls, critics have judged her for her reliance on a man, sexuality that is displayed more than in the other princesses prior, and for her false representation of Middle Eastern culture . Her sexual depiction, particularly in a scene where she seduces the villain Jafar, as well as her Western features, makes critics fear the messages Disney is spreading about culture, as well as the continued image of women winning over men with their bodies: "Other than skin tone, this feature appears to be the only signifier of racial difference . In terms of the body . Jasmine, although still small - waisted is "filmed" in more active sequences and appears, through both the physical presence and activity in scenes, more athletic ." Disney claims its intention with Jasmine is to inspire viewers to "see the good in others ." </P> <P> Pocahontas is the seventh Disney Princess and first appeared in Disney's 33rd animated feature film Pocahontas (1995). Based on the Native American chief's daughter, Pocahontas (c. 1595--1617), and the settlement of Jamestown, Virginia in 1607 . Pocahontas is displayed as a noble, independent and highly spiritual young woman . She expresses wisdom beyond her years and offers kindness and guidance to those around her . An adventurer and nature lover, in the film she appears to have shamanic powers since she was able to communicate with nature, spirits, and animals and understand foreign languages . In the sequel, Pocahontas, after hearing of John Smith's assumed death, is heartbroken . Despite this, she keeps her independent spirit and playfulness and is even much more mature and self - assured than she was in the first film . During her stay in England, she nearly loses herself in the hustle and bustle of the new world, consequently falling victim to western culture assimilation . But in the end, she bravely intends to sacrifice herself for her people's safety and returns to her homeland, finding herself, and love, once again . She was voiced by Irene Bedard and animated by Glen Keane while her singing was provided by Judy Kuhn . </P> <P> Like Jasmine, Pocahontas, and her film, are criticized for the depiction of over-sexualized females in a culturally diverse world . Both princesses are shown with small waists, large almond eyes, and incredible athletic ability that none of the other, caucasian Disney princesses represent . Further, the film has been met with criticism from the Native American community as heralding colonialism and an invalid, romanticized representation of an important figure to the Powhatan people . In terms of its 90s debut, Buescher and Ono in their critical review of the film claim that Pocahontas's actions, "appropriates contemporary social issues of feminism, environmentalism, and human freedom in order to make racial domination appear innocent and pure ." Despite these issues, Pocahontas is the first Disney Princess to not continue her romantic relationship at the conclusion of the film and even plays a direct role in rescuing her lover, John Smith . She is considered to be one of the most independent Disney princesses . Disney claims Pocahontas as a role model to "respect the earth ." Pocahontas is the first Disney Princess based on a real person . </P>
