Live Action Modern Disney Princess Movie Casting – Our Ideas
As Disney’s latest live-action fairy tale remake, Beauty and The Beast, has recently arrived on DVD, and they’ve announced upcoming similar treatments for Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and basically your entire childhood, I’ve been thinking: when are they going to get to remaking the Disney fairy tale flicks of today?
Okay, so this probably won’t happen until we are all our parents’ age (can you imagine?) but were it happening tomorrow, here’s who I’d pick to play Disney’s modern princesses, including Tiana, Rapunzel, Elsa, and more!

Keke Palmer as Tiana
The Princess and The Frog and its leading lady, Princess Tiana, are both highly underrated, but a live-action remake starring the fabulous Keke Palmer could shoot both movie and character back into the spotlight.
Tiana is known for her ambition, and Keke showed she could play this type of character to a T on the Nickelodeon show True Jackson VP, where she rocked the title role, a high school-aged fashion executive. Plus she can sing- her solo performance on Grease Live was nothing short of epic.
Get ready to kiss a few frogs, Keke!
Saoirse Ronan as Rapunzel
Sure, Tangled‘s Rapunzel is more known for her hair, but don’t forget those huge green eyes of hers – eyes as large and full of light as Saoirse Ronan‘s.
Aside from her looks, Saoirse, a two-time Academy Award nominee, is a tremendous actress, and would be able to pull off Rapunzel’s energetic innocence, as well as the fear instilled in her by years of abuse. Don’t believe me? Check out her dual role in The Host.
It’s time for Saoirse to let her hair down!
Sophie Turner as Merida
For those of you who keep up with Game of Thrones as closely as I do, you’ll now that Sophie Turner‘s character, Sansa Stark, has slowly but steadily become stronger and more confident throughout the show’s six seasons.
