Some popular and well-loved fairytale stories about princesses include "Cinderella," "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Beauty and the Beast."
No, most of the Disney Princess Stories are based on actual fairytales, most with unhappy endings. Disney just made them child-friendly. For example, The Little Mermaid was originally written by Hans Christian Anderson as a fairytale, not a tragedy.
They became popular in the early 1800s after the Brothers Grimm published their collection of fairytale stories, which included Hansel and Gretel. People wanted replicas of the Witch's house.

One of the most enchanting fairy princess stories I have heard is "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," where twelve princesses secretly dance every night in a magical kingdom.
Well... of course. What else would they be? Although, when they are dressed as their characters, they aren't allowed to break character so technically, when they are Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine & the others, they are the princesses.
Popular Greek stories are basically Greek myths. For instance, the story of the minotaur.

Disney princesses often come from various fictional backgrounds, and their family dynamics can vary widely. For instance, Anna and Elsa from "Frozen" are sisters, while Ariel from "The Little Mermaid" has sisters named Attina, Alana, Adella, Arista, and Melody. In some stories, family relationships are less defined, and characters may have cousins or other relatives mentioned in expanded media, but many Disney princesses are primarily characterized by their individual stories rather than extensive family trees.
Alice is not a princess. Alice is the main character in two fairytale stories written in 1865 by Lewis Carroll. In the books Alice is just an ordinary seven-year-old girl who lives in England. She is not an official Disney Princess either, but she is sometimes included with them. She was in the PlayStation 2 game Kingdom Hearts as one of the Princesses of Heart, all of whom were official Disney Princesses apart from her. She has also appeared in official Disney Princess art, and is included in the Disney Princess music video It's Not Just Make Believe and The Perfect Princess Tea with the eight official princesses.
Well, you determine what is popular, and mix popular stories with not so popular Stories, and then you add a dash of comedy, and there you go.
The difference between fairytale and folklore is fairytale has mythical creatures in it and folklore has actual humans it's just not real. Fairytale still uses the myth that fairies and mermaids are real. Mean while folklore use the beliefs that big foot is real. And yes they both are fake, it's really all depend on were you are in the world.
