Which Disney Princess Movie is the Best Disney Princess Movie?

So last night I was watching Tangled on the Disney Channel. I really like Tangled. It has lots of my favorite things: Mandy Moore, magic hair, self-sacrifice, Zachary Levi (quite honestly, Zachary Levi is enough to make me love anything, I loved him as Fandral in Thor: the Dark World and he was TERRIBLE in that movie--being Chuck in Chuck wins you a lot of slack with me), and some of the most beautiful animation in any of the Disney Princess movies. Anyway, during the scene when Flynn and Rapunzel are in the boat watching the floating lanterns drift up into the air and singing a song that I used to keep on my standard playlist for many years ("I See the Light" a song that 100% of the time makes me tear up) I started thinking to myself "this movie is amaze-balls." And, because of who I am and how my mind works I immediately asked myself "but how does it stack up against the other amaze-balls Disney Princess movies?" What follows is a short meditation on that question.
