Thumblina, Yum-Yum,Odette, Chel, & Anastasia
For every Disney Heroine, there is a host of Non-Disney animated female characters. From Thumblina, to Princess Yum-Yum to Odette to Chel to Anastasia the list goes on. But of the myriad of Non-Disney Heroines who could be considered Esmeralda’s counterpart?
Disney Esmeralda Hunchback of Notre Dame dancing
It’s a tricky question. First off you need someone who has an equivalent look to Esmeralda i.e. a darker look but someone who isn’t royalty. Next, you need someone who fits her personality, brave, loyal, feisty, mature, and has a social conscious. That narrows the field a bit.
Given the necessary qualifications, I think the only choice for Esmeralda’s Non-Dinsey counterpart is …..
Tzipporah from The Prince of Egypt.
Tzipporah, The Prince of Egypt
Tzipporah start hating Moses as she was kidnapped and given Ramses. She is called a “Desert Flower” which plays in her being exotic. She is also played by Michelle Pfeiffer, who much like Demi Moore was considered a seductive actress.
A Lovely Shot from The Prince of Egypt
Also Hunchback and The Prince of Egypt are bit similar in their own right. Both movies are very stunning gorgeous, have a lot of drama and are underrated. I would highly recommend The Prince of Egypt if you haven’t seen it already.
