Also, whether or not a Disney character can be a "Disney Princess" or not depends on whether or not they fall into what Disney CEOs call "The Princess Mythology", which is, from what I understand after years of research (no really) being a "Disney Princess" doesn't really have anything to do with actually being a princess, it has to do with:
- Being a main character (or strong supporting character) in your film
- Falling in love with a dude
- Having animal friends
- Whether you sing or not (because the bulk of Disney princess crap is sing along videos and music collections)
- It helps if you appear in more than one outfit (dressup dolls)
- No animals allowed (because animals can't have animal friends)
This is why Mulan gets to be a Disney princess, while actual princesses like Tiger Lily (no singing, no animal friends, not a main character), Megara (no animal friends, only one outfit), Kida (no singing, no animal friends), Maid Marian (animal), Nala (animal) and Eilonwy (no singing, only one outfit) don't get to be part of it.
The only one who gets me is Esmeralda (from The Hunchback of Notre Dame); she fits all the crietria; she sings, has more than one outfit, she falls in love with a dude, and hangs out with a goat, yet she still doesn't get to be a Disney Princess. Maybe they just thought she wasn't popular enough? Ho hum.
She's the Native American equivalent, as she's the daughter of her tribe's chieftain, so yeah, I'd consider her a princess.Originally Posted by Chris
