Easy mistake, her name is Merida. Not sure what she's a perfect example of though?
Percentile gang, let's go! 😎
The median, or 50th percentile, here would be 17 or 18, meaning 50% of the princesses are aged 17 or lower, and 50% are aged 18 or higher.

This still is killing me. Why is this so funny? All the others look like good images of the characters!
This is just how people with Scottish blood look when you take photos of them, my source is my family photo album.
Frazzled and caught slightly unprepared?
Either that or somehow merging with the local environment, which is what I do. I can be the focus of the foreground taking up 50 percent of the picture and still be missed. It's great security cameras just don't recognize me and when I worked at Amazon during covid it took them a bit to get me on the infracamera because I was apparently the same temp as the air.
Edit:Covid not civic

Wasnt Snow White in a magical sleep for like a hundred or so years?
I mean, yes, but she's only physically and mentally 14.
If you put a child in cryostasis until she's technically 18 you would still be a pedo if you did anything to her.
Oh, no, this is the next big startup fad, isn’t it?
Hello and welcome to Epstein Cryo-land!

That embryo frozen for 24 years or whatever that was successfully implanted and carried to term didn't emerge from the womb 6'1" with an MBA.
Would you have looked at an embryo frozen for 18 years and said "uh-hhuhuh, she's totally legal"?
Same logic applies.
I don't think having sex with frozen embryo goop should be a crime though.
If that embyo goop isn't your property, it should be.
And if you've broken into the fertility clinic, that's definitely a crime.

Alice is only a princess in Kingdom Hearts lore.
Merida is technically Pixar. She's like a step-Princess.
By the time that Brave was made, Pixar was a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney. That's a distinction without a difference.
By this logic then Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas should also be a Disney princess since Touchstone Pictures was wholly owned by Disney.
All hail Disney Princess Sally!
I'm ok with this. 😊

The Alien Xenomorphs can live for millennia, and they’ve been technically eligible as Disney princesses since March 2019.

This is why the concept of statistical outlier and standard deviation exists.
Had I seen something like this in any analysis I would either assume some fault in the measurement (either reading or technical) or error in punching the data. Then ignored the result if it couldn't be reproduced, but leave it in the raw data/graph/figure and explain the exlution.

I'm surprised that the Frozen sisters are 21 and 24. I thought they were closer in age, and younger.
Edit: They are actually 18 and 21 in Frozen. The second movie is 3 years later.

Is Alice 10 in Disney? In Lewis Carroll's original work she is 8.
They aged her up so it would be less creepy
What is creepy about it? The entire story is really about Alice discovering rules and how she likes them so much. That is very much the world of an 8 year old. Not to mention all of the fanciful characters and tropes that were dreamed up.
There are many academic critiques and studies of the work. It is also central to Open AI's QKV layers model alignment training. The story is the primary catalyst for creative randomness in terms of internal model thinking in both LLMs and embedding models used in image diffusion. For instance, all of the mechanisms that Alice used to become bigger and smaller are present in diffusion AI models with the caveat that no real person place or thing is present in the prompt. One does not need to bring up the detailed context of the story if one prompts the element with good specificity. A far easier method to play with is to prompt the queen of hearts or Alice as a character in an image using just a foundational base model. It should be quite clear how these images are a bit different in many ways. Those differences are not random and they are persistent across all models. Literary nonsense is the actual randomness that shows up in background objects and clothing in images. Prompting against the abstraction of genre is far more effective than attempting to describe your own details in the prompt with specificity.
In literature in general, Carroll's work is the holotype for a genre. Analysing the work speaks to the human experience on many levels. The work has long been appreciated by all ages. So I am a bit baffled about what you find creepy about age in any context such as this. Like what kind of assumptions do you possibly feel grounded in here?

Dating for american presidents be like:
Wow, I better stop jerking it to Jasmine. 🤷
Pocahontas is also younger than labeled. IIRC she was like 17 when she was forced into marrying a tobacco farmer. She died only a few years later.

Wtf movie is the 8800 from? That and the top right are the only characters I don't recognize.
Atlantis, her name is kida, altantians are super long lived because of the crystal on her neck.
That one with the skinny dude with glasses.
Okay, I think I found it: "Atlantis: The Lost Empire"?

Okay, but Kidagakash skews the average so sharply that she's proof of the need for weigthing.
Also, are Alice & Jane actually considered princesses? Jane is Lady Greystone and I could accept her for that, but Alice is just a kid. And if direct adaptations count, why not Wendy? Why not Tiger Lily (who counts if Pocahontas does)? Or Dejah Thoris, the titular "Princess of Mars"?
Needs more Kuzco.
Esmeralda being 18 is throwing me for a loop. Idk why. All the other ones I can get past looks because they're all meant to be young (and many have ages stated) but I literally never once viewed Esmeralda as a teenager in the movie. Early 20s maybe. Maybe they mentioned it and I forgot.
Crazy movie though. Frolo is so fucked.
I like the 8800 year old :>
Got that multiple millennia of wisdom while still being 22 physiologically somehow
