I don't think those Leia is a Disney princess now are all jokes, some are but not all and if Pixar girls are now becoming princesses then I guess why not? I don't know how Disney Princesses are doing now but I'm guessing decent enough but you definitely don't see merchandise everywhere like you used to, and even if not they had a good run giving Disney plenty of money in the 00's, same with Tinkerbell. Ironically the reason they did the Marvel/Star Wars acquisitions which is now what Disney is focusing on was because they wanted to get the boy market once again, they already had the girls market with the Princesses and their live action shows. Disney tried a few times with Power Rangers but it didn't work and instead sold them for cheap and went for Marvel.

Dumb. Dumb. Right up there with stuff like, "______ actor/actress says they want to play _____ comic book movie role!!" articles. As in meaningless.
All of those are just jokes...or better said, people trying to be funny/clever and failing. Nobody genuinely believes that those characters are going to JOIN the official Disney Princess lineup, they're just throwing the term "Disney Princess" around without really knowing what that means.

For example, Anna and Elsa from Frozen, Moana, and Elena of Avalor are NOT Disney Princesses. They are princess/royal characters from Disney, but they are not a part of the official lineup. Most people don't know this and assume they are because they don't even realize that there IS an official lineup. It's not that hard to understand.

Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel and Merida are, as of right now, the only official Disney Princesses. Anna and Elsa were supposed to be added but Frozen got so popular that they made it's own franchise, and they wanted the same thing to happen with Moana but it in no way shape or form did, so she might end up getting added at some point.

As someone who works in retail I remember when the Disney Princess line first started and Alice from Alice Wonderland was actual part of the line but only very shortly.

Yep, and Tinker bell, Esmeralda and Jane from Tarzan were all included at one point too!

When I met Paige O'Hara back in April I told her how much she and the character of Belle have meant to me in my life. I have always loved both Belle and the film Beauty and the Beast, but in late 2008 I began to love both of them even more than I did before. There was a man who was so incredibly rude to me, but everyone else thought he was the greatest guy in the entire world. This situation and his egotistical personality made him so much like Gaston. I really was the only person to see him for who he truly was. When I told Paige my story and how I loved how the fact that Belle knew how much of a jerk Gaston was and she didn't care if everyone else loved him that truly meant a lot me.

I'm just going to leave this here in regards to Cinderella


And this in regards to Belle


Leave these poor women alone and let them be the unmovable bricks that they are. I'll defend them with a blunt stick.

Since the “Dream Big Princess” campaign has been such a success, the initiative will provide 21 girls and women from 13 different countries with the opportunity to develop short films about those real world women who inspire them.

For the past three years towards the end of summer, this has been one of my favorite things to watch before I go back to work.



While Moana hasn't officially joined the line-up yet, Disney has just recently released a new song and music video with her voice actress Auli'i Cravalho. The song is titled "Live Your Story" and its part of the 'Dream Big Princess' campaign.

The directors of Ralph Breaks the Internet were asked if the Princesses could carry their own movie by themselves.

Quote:
Phil Johnston: Someone could do it, yeah.

Rich Moore: Definitely. It's, again, it depends on how the audience reacts to it...

Phil Johnston: And what's the story? It's always that for me. If there's a good story to be told...

I believe it can be done if they get the right people behind it.

Also, here are some of the voice actresses being interviewed at the premiere of the movie along with Sarah Silverman. Irene Bedard (Pocahontas) was also there, but they didn't interview her.

People need to stop flipping their **** over that cameo in Wreck It Ralph. They're making a bigger deal of this than when we got that scene with all the videogame villains in the first one.

I'm glad at least Sonic got some lines in the sequel. Good to see some of the video game characters will cameo after all.

The Disney Princess brand is extremely popular and the movie marks the first time all of the characters have shared the screen together. It's also a special movie for Paige O'Hara because in 2011 she had originally replaced as the voice of Belle. She was sad at first, but then she accepted this change because her voice had matured too much, but Disney still decided to have her come back, which is awesome, instead of having her replacement Julie Nathanson doing Belle's voice.

Now that Disney owns Fox, its nice to have Elinore from the classic 1970's movie "Wizards" will be a Disney Princess.

The Little Mermaid is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. It will be re-released on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD next month, but that's not all. It will also be the first Disney Princess movie to receive a release in 4K Ultra HD. Jodi Benson shared this message earlier today. I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to meet her last year.

So are they gonna remake Little Mermaid? The animation in Wreck it Ralph of Ariel is a good glimpse of what if they utilize modern cgi for the film. Just imagine that.

Or if we still gonna root for the upcoming live action film, it better be at least at par or even better than Aquaman's Mera. She's literally perfect as Ariel, I doubt Disney can top that.

Personally I think they should just make a animated Disney Princess movie with the animation style used in Wreck It Ralph 2.

I really did like Ariel's design in that movie though it helped she was animated by one of the original animators from her movie.

Last year, Moana officially joined the line-up. However, she actually wasn't given a coronation ceremony like Tiana, Rapunzel, and Merida. They just added her to the official website.

https://princess.disney.com/

Meanwhile Mary Costa, Aurora's original voice actress, has made the difficult decision that she will no longer be accepting fan-mail anymore. Back in 2016, she made the decision not to respond to fans, but now any fan-man sent to her will be donated to charity.

Sofia, Calla and Elena are DISNEY and Princesses, but not a Disney Princess. Makes no sense to me.

Tiana and Moana are getting their own TV shows on Disney+





‘Moana,’ ‘Cars,’ ‘Princess and the Frog’ Spinoff Series Set for Disney Plus

Meanwhile, Irene Bedard, the voice of Pocahontas, was arrested twice in three days. If I were Disney, I would find a replacement.
