In the story of 'Mulan', she has to go to war in place of her father. This is a very dangerous and difficult situation for a young woman, which adds a dark element. For 'Tangled', Rapunzel was locked in a tower for years by Mother Gothel. This isolation and the false relationship she had with Gothel are dark parts of the story. And in 'Moana', although it's not as dark as some others, the idea of the dying ocean and the past mistakes that led to it can be considered a bit of a dark side to the story.
One of the dark Disney princess stories is 'Snow White'. The Queen's jealousy led her to try to kill Snow White multiple times. Another is 'Sleeping Beauty'. Maleficent curses Aurora to prick her finger and die. And in 'The Little Mermaid', Ariel gives up her voice and endures great pain to be with a human, which has some dark undertones of sacrifice and the unknown in a new world.
Well, take 'Cinderella' for example. Her stepmother and stepsisters treat her horribly, making her life a misery. It's a kind of dark aspect of the story. Then there's 'Beauty and the Beast'. Belle is trapped in the Beast's castle against her will at first, which is a rather dark start to the story. Also, in 'Pocahontas', the historical and cultural clashes shown can be seen as a form of darkness in the story.
