Different people have different ideas of what it means to be a feminist, so there's no way I can give my answer without stepping on people's toes.

With that said, of this list, I rather have to go with Snow White because even if she is smarter, sassier, more competent and more manipulative (?) than most people give her credit for... Her life still hinges on the men around her. She still has no real motivation outside of meeting her true love and getting married, she is still spared by the Hunter because of his choice and not any action of her own, she still depends on the dwarves to give her food and shelter when the queen goes after her, and she still dreams about the prince eventually finding her.

While she does technically earn her keep with the dwarves, she does so with traditionally feminine arts - cooking, cleaning, enchanting them with her beauty and love songs, etc. The dwarves fit the traditional masculine role of being home-providers and bread-winners, and she fits the traditionally feminine role of being a house-keeper and meal-provider. If she, as a woman, does not fill traditionally feminine gender roles to please the men (the Hunter, the dwarves, the Prince), where would she be?

Again, this is hard to type because feminism means different things to different people. I've often heard it said that feminism means having a choice, and we shouldn't penalize women like Snow White for choosing love, marriage, and home-keeping rather than more masculine goals and roles. I've often heard it said that feminism means appreciating that men and women are equal, so we shouldn't decry feminine roles and goals as inferior to masculine ones. And it's all true.

The reason I pick Snow White though is because she's the only example of a positive named female character in her movie, and she not only fits a very narrow and decidedly feminine gender role, but she's largely sustained and defined by the men in her life, and is only able to do so by adhering to the pigeon-holed feminine role.

Again, I had to pick someone, and I picked her for the aforementioned reason.

She just doesn't fit them, feminist are all about "girl power" and "we can be tough" kind of stuff, Snow is to sweet and passive probably ok with just being the common house wife, I don't know about ALL feminist, but they mostly don't like Snow anyway and they are totally against all that.

That doesn't make her a bad role model or anything. It's just that she fits perfectly in the gender roles and does nothing that can prove that girls can do other things except looking good, cooking, and cleaning. Though cleaning, cooking and looking good isn't bad and it doesn't make her a bad role model. She's just traditional and fits in the gender roles. Therefore doesn't contribute much in feminism.

Just hates her.

^ You didn't give any reason why she's less a feminist.

Lots of great points here. I really love how you are really contributing to your opinions but are very polite at the same time. And yeah, hating her isn't a reason.

Same as before.

Elsa is feminine.

^it says feminist.

I hope you don't mean feminine= anti-feminist.

I mostly agree with Tygers_Eye. In my opinion, a feminist is simply someone who advocates for equal rights for both genders and who treats genders equally. Snow White may fit in the latter, but in the movie she never advocates for women's rights either (and that's ok).

For me, a feminist is a girl who is strong and stands up for herself, and Snow White isn't that type of person. I'm not saying she's a bad role model, I'm just saying that she hasn't done anything to show that she is strong like Merida or Jasmine.
