For many of us, the Disney princesses have been part of our lives for as long as we can remember. Whether it was watching Beauty and the Beast in theaters or Mulan on VHS, the princesses – including Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, and Jasmine – play into our collective nostalgia, while also inspiring us to tap into our own inner princess strength. All of the Disney princess films are a showcase of female smarts and ingenuity.

In a recent American Idol performance, Lea Michele proves she’s ready to join the long list of venerable voice actresses who have sung their way into our hearts. Lea Michele, a former Glee star and Broadway veteran, sang “Part of Your World” on American Idol’s Disney night. On May 17 and 18, the Hollywood Bowl will put on a live performance of The Little Mermaid, with Lea Michele in the main role. This year is the film's 30th anniversary.
