The 13 official Disney Princesses’ first animated feature-film appearances, in theatrical release order, run from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) to Raya and the Last Dragon (2021). This is a release-order guide—not a story-chronology list—and keeps Disney’s live-action reimaginings separate.

Physical editions are another option, but the cited official references do not establish one complete, current box set containing all 13 films. Disney Japan’s Princess page has a Blu-ray/DVD section listing selected titles, and D23 describes Princess-related films available on Digital, Blu-ray, and DVD. Before buying, verify the specific edition, region, format, and films included in the individual listing.
