With Disney making live action versions of ‘Cinderella’ with Lily James and now ‘Beauty and the Beast’ with Emma Watson as Belle, we could not help but think of what other stars would make good Disney princesses. From ‘The Little Mermaid’ to ‘Pocahontas’, we came up with eight actresses that we would like to see on the big screen as Disney heroines. Check out our dream casting choices below.

Pocahontas – Devery Jacobs

Devery Jacobs is a First Nations actress who landed a 2014 Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Actress in the movie, 'Rhymes for Young Ghouls'. She reportedly auditioned for the role of Tiger Lily in the 2015 film, 'Pan'. We think this rising star could be a good choice to play Pocahontas. Photo: Disney/Instagram
