Genuine question is mulan an official Disney princess? It feels like they ate trying to kill the brand of late
The Disney princess lineup has always had some odd inclusions and exclusions. Mulan is considered a Disney princess^TM despite not actually having the title, as is Alice (some random girl), Pocahontas (chieftain's daughter, which I guess you can argue is a similar concept), Moana (see above), Mirabel (another random girl without a position of authority), Tinker Bell, Jane Porter (although she is a noble, which is at least similar) and Megara. (From Hercules, in case you also forget that movie existed)
Likewise, the lineup does not include Nala, despite actually possessing the title explicitly. (Is Disney racist against lions or something?) Nor does it include Eilonwy, though that's understandable considering The Black Cauldron flopped so hard it nearly tanked their animation department. It doesn't include any acquired properties either, so as funny as it is to lump Leia into the group, officially she doesn't count.
Interesting how Esmeralda the gipsy from the Hunchback of Notre Dame is omitted from any Disney context
Apparently the reason for that is simply because Esmeralda merch didn't sell. Go figure.
I guess the true mark of a Disney princess is marketability.
They also did not plan to include merida until people started pointing this out. They added her afterwards.
And, by extension, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Melinda May, aka The Cavalry.
Or, if Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't Disney enough for you, Fennec Shand might do.
Merida
What’s this?
