35 Quotes Every Disney Princess Knows (And 15 That Are Impossible)

Disney Movies. They were probably a big part of your childhood, and maybe even a big part of your adulthood if you have children of your own (or you just like to slip back into the nostalgia of the good ol’ days). Regardless if it’s been a decade or so since you’ve actually sat down to watch a Disney movie, they’re likely still lingering in your subconscious. Perhaps you hum along to the tune of Hakuna Matata without even realizing it.

There are of course the older generation of animation movies such as The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Mulan, where you likely can remember each scene perfectly. Flora and Merryweather fighting for the gown to be blue and not pink (and vice versa). Mulan cutting her hair perfectly with the sword.

If you are a true lover of the Disney films – both old school and new school, you might even be able to quote them. Perhaps by heart. This quiz features both match the quote to the movie questions as well as finish the lyrics to test if you’re worthy of the title as “Disney Princess.” But some of them are so hard, even a princess might not know them.

Question 1

"Love is putting someone else's needs before yours."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? A common theme in all Disney movies is of course love, so it might be a little harder to guess. However if you pay attention to your films, you should be able to figure it out. While for the most part it is usually depicted as romantic love between two soulmates, more recent films have been straying from that typical stereotype and are instead reminding the audience that there are other forms of love.

Question 2

"Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Another common theme in Disney movies would have to be the importance of family. Which is a little surprising considering how many of the protagonists lose their family members (or have lost them prior to the film). For example, Elsa and Anna lose both of their parents in the beginning; Cinderella loses both of her parents are well; and Simba’s father is murdered by another family member – the list goes on.

Question 3

"A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? This quotation is meant to be taken as a piece of wisdom from someone who has had to learn on his own the true value of strength. While not all Disney movies focus on heroism and strength, they do still all incorporate courage of some kind, whether it be stepping out of their comfort zone, standing up for themselves for the first time, or figuring out how to protect their loved ones.

Question 4

"What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?"

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Strangely enough, dreaming is another common theme among the Disney princess films. Most likely because the girls have better versions of their lives in their heads. To be fair, Cinderella did have it rough for quite a number of years, so I can see why her dreamland was better than her reality. This quotation has a hint of nervousness in it only because it’s obvious whatever he or she dreamed of is important enough that they fear their high expectations.

Question 5

"If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? This is one of the most iconic sayings in a classic Disney movie which has been repeated, posted, and even plastered across children’s bedroom walls - you should have no problem figuring out where it’s from. The saying itself is a quite profound lesson considering its young audience, but is appropriate for all ages nonetheless. Although Disney is known for its life lessons about independence, standing up for yourself and doing what’s right, the simplicity of this one makes it so great.

Question 6

"There's a great big hunk of world down there with no fence around it."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? This one might be a little more challenging because it’s not one of the more popular movies (but if you’re a mega fan then this will be a piece of cake for you). This quote was said by someone who was trying to broaden the horizon for his new companion, and show her that there was more to life than the sheltered and “safe” lifestyle that she had grown accustomed to.

Question 7

"You're the one I've been looking for."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Although quite vague, this quote is meaningful if you think about which princesses had to struggle for the attention of their true love. And yes, is it a common theme for the man and the woman to have to fight against all odds in order to prevail in the end, but think really hard about what the words mean. In what Disney film was there a prince or princess searching for their one true love? Hint, a lot of them!

Question 8

Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Here we are with yet another profound life lesson from another Disney film. Although it’s not much of a surprise, there are so many of them! Only as adults watching them back do we actually start to pick up on these and even live by them in our day to day lives. This one, although very basic because sometimes someone has to struggle, overcome obstacles, or deal with tough circumstances in order to grow, is significant to the outcome of the film.

Question 9

"The past can hurt. But you can either run from it, or learn from it."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Are you surprised that it’s another inspirational quote? Most of these you can definitely find in a painting on someone’s bedroom wall or even tattooed on an arm. To be fair, just like all of the others this quote is completely relatable. Similar to the “right path is not the easiest” quote, this person is reminding the protagonist that facing your fears is unfortunately necessary in order to learn from it.

Question 10

"She warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? This one is a little more difficult than some of the other iconic quotes only because the person who said this was not really technically in the film – it was said from the narrator’s point of view. However keep in mind some of the key elements in the quote and you should be able to piece together which movie it comes from. There aren’t many where appearances play a significant role.

Question 11

“I use it on behalf of the miserable, the lonely, and…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This come from a song sung by Ursula in The Little Mermaid. Ariel had just come to visit her after she made the decision she wanted to prove to her father that not all humans were bad. However, Ursula asks her for quite a hefty payment – which was her voice in exchange for legs. The catch? She only had a certain number of days for the magic to hold, and after the sun set on the third night she would turn back into a mermaid.

Question 12

“I know you, I walked with you…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung by Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. After Maleficent curses Aurora as a baby, King Stephen has no choice but to send her away with three eager (although slightly incapable) fairies to take care of her. She grows up in a cottage in the forest with only the woodland creatures to keep her company. She sings happily to them, dreaming of the day she might meet the man of her dreams.

Question 13

“Prince Froggy is a rich little boy…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung by Mama Odie from Princess and the Frog. After the prince makes a naïve deal with the Shadow Man, he gets turned into a frog and can only be released from his curse if he kisses a princess. Unfortunately Tiana gets wrapped up in his mess and gets turned into a frog herself. While running away from the party, they meet an alligator that doesn’t want to kill them, and he tells them of a magical woman who lives in the bayou that might help.

Question 14

“Ready to know what the people know…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung by Ariel from The Little Mermaid. She is notorious for wandering outside of her father’s kingdom, where she hunts down artifacts and trinkets from the human world and stores them in an underwater cove. She longs to be on land and do all of the things that a human can, liking walking in the sand and sitting by a fire and feel its warmth. Unfortunately for Ariel her father disapproves of her dream.

Question 15

“But I know every rock and tree and creature…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung by Pocahontas from the movie Pocahontas. After sensing something is coming, she meets a peculiar man scouting her land. Although she attempted to conceal herself, Niko blew her cover as he attempted to search the man for food. John Smith is surprised to learn how “civilized” Pocahontas is, but tells her that there is much his people can do to “teach” them. She assures him that her people don’t need to learn anything, suggesting that he could learn a thing or two from them instead.

Question 16

“See the line where the sky meets the sea?...”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung by Moana from the movie Moana. Even as a baby, Moana was drawn to the vast ocean and all of its mystery. Her father was quick to remind her that the ocean is a dangerous place, and that she mustn’t go near it. However, as she grew older the temptation to go beyond the reef was overpowering, and she eventually gave in to her curiosity and sailed across to help restore the heart of Te Fiti.

Question 17

”Ladies don’t start fights…”

Can you finish this Disney line? Although this doesn’t technically come from a song, it is quite an iconic quote from the movie The Aristocats. It is said by Marie – one of Duchess’ kittens (the middle child), who is often seen sassing her older and younger brother. What makes this quote so hilarious is the fact that the cats were raised in quite a sophisticated home, so this feisty attitude came at a surprise. To be fair, despite being only a kitten Marie and her brothers knew how to get into trouble.

Question 18

“Look there she goes, that girl is so peculiar…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung by the collective town’s people in Beauty and the Beast. In the begin of the movie, Belle is the first to walk into the town but almost immediately its flooded with merchants and buyers going about their daily business. She comments on how uneventful her life is in the town, noting how things are the same day after day. Almost oblivious to her surroundings, the people offer their mocking of Belle about how her head is always in the clouds.

Question 19

“Our mental synchronization…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung by both Hans and Anna in their lovely duet at Elsa’s coronation. Having briefly met prior, Anna is happy to see that he’s at the party afterwards and the two share a quick connection. They saunter off throughout the kingdom where they get to know each other and cause a little trouble, and by the end of the song he proposes and she eagerly says yes. Unfortunately Anna’s naïve personality prohibited her from seeing how much of a horrible person Hans was.

Question 20

“And away to his castle we’ll go…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung by Snow White from the movie Snow White. After the Queen orders a huntsman to take Snow White into the forest to kill her so that she may be the “fairest of them all,” he takes pity on her and tells her to run away and never come back. Obviously distraught, she stumbles upon a cottage filled with dwarves who are happy to be her host. She sings to them about a prince and they listen happily for hours.

Question 21

"Sanctuary!"

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Although its only one simple word, it is a very powerful statement from the protagonist. A lot of Disney movies focus on the struggles of the main character, reflecting how their difficult lives shape them to have such meaningful, well deserved triumphs. This quote in particular represents all of the years of torture, belittling and betrayal and is the moment of release from everything that had been weighing the character down.

Question 22

"Should I leave you and the blackboard alone for a moment?"

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Disney is quite known for its hilarious one liners and snarky characters, where most of the comments have some form of twisted humor to them, much like this one. There’s nothing like a funny character to make the audience laugh – only as adults can we truly appreciate the hidden comments. This is just one of the many examples of why you should go and re-watch all of the Disney movies from your childhood.

Question 23

"It's called a hustle, sweetheart."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? It’s only some of the more recent films where a male and a female character who have very different outlooks and perspectives on life are forced to team up together. A part from Beauty and the Beast of course, but Belle was more “forced” to associate with Beast being imprisoned and all. But it’s seen in Frozen where Anna and Kristoff team up despite the fact that Kristoff doesn’t do “people.”

Question 24

"A human heart has only so much room for love and affection."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? A part from the normal Disney princesses like Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, and even Elsa and Anna, there are a number of Disney films in which talking animals are the main characters. Instead of humans, furry little creatures take on very human-like lifestyles (such as Zootopia, where they having jobs and wear clothes, but comment on their animalistic background). Nonetheless, this quote comes from one of these talking Disney animals, but in this film there are also humans.

Question 25

"They say if you dream a thing more than once its sure to come true."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Again, here we are with the same “dream” theme which can be found in a number of films. It is nice to see that an optimistic mind kept these characters from going mad, or worse losing hope because that wouldn’t make for a very nice movie. What’s weird (and maybe creepy) about this quote is the fact she’s talking about meeting a man and of course that comes true shortly after.

Question 26

"And injustice deliciously squared, be prepared."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Disney villains are usually depicted as grotesquely evil beings who want nothing but revenge on the protagonists, and will stop at nothing to succeed. While it’s safe to say that a majority of the villains were in fact evil (cough, Gaston – who wanted to murder the Beast), some of them were just flawed and made wrong decisions. If you look at them as adults, you can perhaps sympathize with one or two of them.

Question 27

"It was a nasty place! There was a mess wherever you stepped."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? What would a Disney film be without a little chaos? It certainly wouldn’t give the protagonist a chance to rise to the occasion and save the day now would it? For example, Prince Phillip would not have felt so victorious in waking Sleeping Beauty if he didn’t have to cut through dangerous vines and battle an enormous dragon. Simba would’ve felt silly if he just returned to Pride Rock without having to fight for it.

Question 28

"They're not like you and me which means they must be evil."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? And of course, ever Disney movie needs an opposing side to stand against the protagonist or else they wouldn’t be able to show their true strength. In most of these films, there is some depiction of two different worlds clashing, but by the end come together as one. For example, the gorillas in Tarzan are completely terrified of the human world – even Kerchak was against having Tarzan in their group.

Question 29

"Maybe what I really wanted was to prove that I could do things right."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Feeling a sense of defeat right before the final battle scene in Disney movies is also a common theme. For example, when Moana threw the heart of Te Fiti back into the ocean and begged it to choose someone else – that was a real heartbreak moment. Or when Judy felt like she couldn’t be a good cop because she had mistakenly accused her close friend of being a natural born predator.

Question 30

"And don't spend your time lookin' for something you want that can't be found."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? This one might be a little more challenging for you to figure out. You’ll have to think really hard about a laid back character who would offer wise words such as this. As it has been mentioned time and again, Disney is notorious for its low key inspirational lines which are quite relevant to its audience. I think this is qualifies as one of those times, especially because it’s not sugar coated at all.

Question 31

“What would I give if I could live…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from the song sung by Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Again, it’s when she has yet to actually step outside of her life as a mermaid and onto land with her real legs. In the midst of her dreaming to be “part of Eric’s world,” Ariel lists off all of the reasons why she wants to be a part of the human world and out of the sea. As an adult I don’t see why she’d want to give up living underwater!

Question 32

“I’d surf till the sun sets…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung in the movie Lilo & Stitch. It is made very clear while Stitch was imprisoned back in space that he does not do well with water. Thus, when he was crash landing on earth, they were convinced it was going to be fine since he was landing what looked to be in the middle of the ocean. Again, when he tried to make his escape off the island, he was annoyed to learn it was surrounded by water.

Question 33

“In dreams you will lose…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung Cinderella in the movie titled Cinderella. And yes, it is another song/phrase about dreaming, but to be fair there is quite a number of them! In this instance, Cinderella has just woken by the sound of birds in her room and is frustrated that she has left her lovely dream world. Although faced with the harsh reality of her life, she sings about the beauty of dreaming and how it’s a wonderful place to be.

Question 34

“Come roll in all the riches all around you…”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung by Pocahontas in the movie titled Pocahontas. After John Smith tells Pocahontas of his and his men’s plans to dig up their land in search of treasure, she takes him on an adventure through the woods and the water to show him there is much more than what’s buried in the earth. Instead of seeing only the value of the land, she teaches him to appreciate its existence.

Question 35

“Children got to be free to…”

Can you finish the Disney quote? This does not come from a song, but is a quote said by Sebastian in the film The Little Mermaid. He serves as a care taker for Ariel, but is more like a babysitter to ensure she doesn’t get into trouble. Although, he does seem to fail at this when he isn’t around to stop Ariel from selling her voice to the sea witch. Nonetheless, despite his obvious disagreement in Ariel’s want desire to live on land, he helps her try to get Eric to fall in love with her before the third day.

Question 36

“If only there was someone out there..."

Can you finish the Disney quote? This does not come from a song, but is a quote said by Hans in the film Frozen. Up until this point, Hans is depicted as a worthy man who was to marry Anna and live happily ever after with her. He did not show any immediate fear of the fact that Elsa had magical powers, and he seemed to want to save her when they found her in the north mountain. However, when Anna tells him that only an act of true love would save her, his true intentions are revealed.

Question 37

“People always do crazy things when…”

Can you finish the Disney quote? This does not come from a song, but is a quote said by Hercules in the film Hercules. For the entire film, Hercules had done nothing but try and prove himself to the Gods so that he might return home and be reunited with his family. Since a baby, Hercules always felt out of place because of his strength (and clumsiness). However, he learned how to harness his strength and actually do something productive with it. And even with every monster he defeated, it still wasn’t enough to prove his worthiness.

Question 38

“When the world turns its back on you…”

Can you finish the Disney quote? This does not come from a song, but is a quote said by Timon in the film The Lion King. Timon and Pumbaa are depicted as outcasts who have chosen to live in their paradise of solitude. They have no rules or responsibilities, and refuse to play any part in society because neither of them really fit into their world. Its revealed that Pumbaa was shunned because of his stinky habits, and Timon only caused chaos among his family.

Question 39

“I wanna try even though...”

Can you finish the Disney lyrics? This comes from a song sung by one of the celebrities named Gizelle from the movie Zootopia. After Judy worked tirelessly to prove herself worthy of being on the police force, she leaves her big family and ventures into the heart of the Zootopia. She listens to this song on her train ride there as a form of motivation that she can do anything she sets her mind to, even if her fellow co-workers just see her as a silly bunny.

Question 40

“Second star to the right and…”

Can you finish the Disney quote? This does not come from a song, but is an iconic quote said by Peter from the movie Peter Pan. After Peter loses his shadow, it makes its way into Wendy and her brother’s room, to which Peter follows. The kids all wake up and there is a slight moment of chaos until an intrigued Wendy offers her assistance to reattach the shadow. Whole again, Peter shares his secret about being able to fly with the group.

Question 41

"Always let your conscience be your guide."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Here we are with another iconic inspiration quote made famous from a Disney movie. There are a number of characters who are depicted as old and wise in Disney films, and are usually there to offer cryptic advice to the protagonists. For example, Rafiki from The Lion King – he has some strange power of seeing glimpses of the future and communicating with those who have passed on, which also grants him the ability to offer his knowledge.

Question 42

"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? One of the more obvious themes featured in Disney films would be the desire to go on an adventure – or at least find something different than the character’s current situation. For example, in Mulan it was obviously not an ideal choice to stand in for her father in the war, but she knew it was something that had to be done for the sake of her father, as well as a chance to prove herself.

Question 43

"You like him, don't you?"

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? This quote is so simple and yet represents a large portion of the Disney films that were released as early as the 1950s up until the late 2000s. In a majority of those films there was a woman who was intrigued by the male character, although they didn’t always admit it upfront. Perhaps they didn’t agree on this initially, or she was afraid to admit her true feelings out loud.

Question 44

"Put your faith in what you most believe in."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? This is actually a song lyric from one of the Disney movies. It serves as a reminder that even though the future in unclear, and straying from your normal path might be scary, if it’s something you believe in then you should take the plunge. Moana would’ve never been able to save her island and all of the other islands if she didn’t follow her heart and go beyond the reef.

Question 45

"Do you trust me?"

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? This is one of the more challenging questions in this quiz because it’s a short and simple quote. However, if you know your Disney movies then you should be able to figure it out because these four words are repeated by the same character on two different occasions. It’s something so significant between the person who asks and the person who says yes, because even though they were in the middle of a lie the trust is still there.

Question 46

"Let's just assume for the moment that everyone in here doesn't like me."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? As it was said before, there is at least one character who serves as the comedic character in the Disney movies. For Mulan, it’s her dragon sidekick Mushu who always has something dramatic or snarky to say. In The Lion King it is Timon, who’s notorious for his one liners and chill perspective on the world. In The Little Mermaid it is Sebastian, who always openly disagrees with everything Ariel does.

Question 47

"Even miracles take a little time."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? Although this quote is said in quite a literal matter because they were dealing with magic, it can be taken as a representation of basically how all Disney films function. If they miracles happen to early, then there won’t be much of a movie to watch now would there? If Cinderella hadn’t suffered then there would be no need for a Fairy Godmother. If Mulan had been unsuccessful with the match maker, she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to save China.

Question 48

"The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? This one might be a little more challenging if you aren’t familiar with some of the newer Disney films. While some of the classic princess movies like Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Snow White all have a prince come to their rescue, some of the newer films are focused more on the female protagonists going through the struggles themselves without a man’s help. Sure, Kristoff was there to assist Anna in her quest for an act of true love, but it was her sacrifice alone that helped save her.

Question 49

"I'm so hungry I could eat a whole elephant."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? I find one of the more hilarious comments always has to do with one of the animal characters in Disney movies commenting on their eating habits. For example, Timon telling young Simba that a grub tastes like chicken is of course relatable to the young audience because they’re told that all the time themselves. But if you think about it as adults, how would Timon even know what a chicken tastes like to make such a reference?

Question 50

I remember everyone that leaves."

Can you guess which Disney movie this quote is from? This is probably one of the more heartbreaking quotes of not only this quiz but of all Disney movies in general. Of course almost all of the protagonists have to go through some form of struggle and heartbreak throughout the plot of the movie. What would a Disney film be without some tears being shed? But in this instance, the character has given up all hope and is saying her farewell in the saddest way possible.
