@leg5 how is that sexist? I think the word your are looking for is prejudice?
And still it happen to be true with daughters there simply is more chance you are stuck watching stuff about princesses. In a lot of cases it has been brought on by the parents, by the stuff they give them frm the moment they are born., only giving cars to boys and dolls to girls, and give everything that is pink to girls and blue to boys. Then yes they tend to grow up that way.
But even without interference there is a difference in tendency what boys or girls like. Boys a little more action orientated, girls a bit more romantic. But girls can definitely like what they want and so can boys.
Some continue to like their own thing depsite what society tries to shape them into ( often not consciuosly, but that might just be an issue right there) A lot of times it catches on though "cars? no that is for boys" etc, a lot of learned behaviour.
personally I really cant stand it when there is a newborn and all they get is pink stuff and extremely "girly things ( in case it is a girl) ... What cant girls like dinosaurs? Please let the kid just grow up as a kid and expose them to every thing. Not "you are a girl, so you cant have this, or must do this..). Let them decide what they want and dont force them into a direction.
It is completely ridiculous that girls cant play with dinosaurs, why on earth not??? (sorry I guess some personal frustration is coming up... not that my parents prevented me from choosing what I liked, but everyone around me growing up looked at me as if I was some kind of alien, not accepted by the girls because I wasnt like them, and not by the boys because I was a girl. Same problem as an adult..
I have 2 nieces. They were so excited when I told them I was bringing over an actual princess to dinner at their mom's house. The AlSauds have way more princesses than Disney does.
@Moon101 She lives in a town when people sing 'Bonjour' in the morning, and her neighbours are called names such as Le Fou, Gaston and Lumière. But of course, her name can't be in french....
I disagree, mostly because it’s annoying to type something in only to have the last letter cut off because that’s an accepted spelling, then you have to go and delete it.
Yea it causes more trouble for the ones that dó know the answers. Which seem rather unfair.
And in this case, I cant imagine if after bell wasnt accepted you wouldnt try belle. (it is a word you come across more often in other cases, even if you have never had a single lesson of french or other romance lanaguage. It is not like some unknown city that happens to end in double n, which is the only instance in which that word excists.)
She probably never got included because there was nothing remotely like a princess in ancient Greece. Of course, that didn't stop them from putting in Pocahontas (who was only sort of a princess) and Mulan (who had no sort of relationship with anyone royal, except that one time when she hugged the emperor).
@Username101 There is also the three caveats that you can't have been introduced in a sequel and (the unspoken rules) box office success and (most likely) needs to be at least kind of a girls movie
They wanted to include her, but they would've had to pay Amy Adams for the lifelong rights to use her image while the images of all of the others are owned wholly by Disney.
Tinker Bell was one of the original members of the Disney Princess line, but was removed pretty quickly as they decided that she could head up her own franchise, Disney Fairies.
I thought this had Anna and Elsa on it. They will be back...they are not official Disney princesses yet, but I understand that they are going to be made official soon.
This is really weird. I must be going crazy. I was sure I had read an article like a year ago that said that Anna and Elsa had been added to the official princess lineup. Now I'm looking it up and finding that they weren't added?
It's not so much that they're debating, it's that Frozen merch sells well enough on its own that Disney would probably lose sales if they folded it into the "Disney Princess" line.
I have NEVER heard of Pocahontas getting Disney Princess status. And I was ABSOLUTELY MAD NUTS for that movie for much of my childhood- I had Pocahontas EVERYTHING and wore out the VHS tape. I'm a still a Disney nut and I've never seen her grouped together with the other princesses on anything.
I don't know what to tell you. She's been part of the line since it started in the early 2000s, and is included in most of the group shots I can find. Here's her page on the official Disney Princess site, which has her on its front page as well.
Moana is most definitely a Disney Princess. She's listed on the front page of /princess.disney.com/>the official Disney Princess website, and has /princess.disney.com/moana>her own page,/url> on the same site.
Only characters that are part of the specific Disney Princess merchandise line are included. That's why Megara (Hercules), Princess Leia, Eilonwy (The Black Cauldron), Kida (Atlantis), and I'm sure some others too, aren't on here.
I never understood why Mulan is in the category of "Disney PRINCESSES." She is an awesome warrior and hero, but she was neither born into royalty, nor did she marry into it. She was a farmer's daughter, was offered a political position in the Emperor's council, which she turned down and returned to her father's house, and the man she is implied to end up with is the son of a late general and a ranking military officer himself. All awesome positions, but none qualify her as a princess.
She performed a significant act of heroism which is part of the requirements or you could be born royal or marry royal which the other 10 do so the act of heroism was written for Mulan to become a disney princess
I'm just glad you didn't put who everyone thinks should be called a Disney princes: the so called "emo", Kylo Ren. Why is he even labeled a crybaby? He took a shot from chewie's weapon, fought Rey in the freezing cold while Starkiller Base was falling apart........Need I go on?
I recall some conversation I was participating in here about how inconsistent the standard was for who counted as an official princess and who did not... seems to be gone now.
Well maybe don't call the Quiz 'Disney Princesses' as this is quite misleading. Mulan isn't a princess, neither is Tiana nor Belle. What you are alluding to is the 'Disney Princess' media franchise - which you misstate by adding the -es! This is especially surprising as you also state the very source were you could have read this: >>The franchise does not include all princess characters from the whole of Disney-owned media, but rather refers to select specific characters<< So it's definitely not a list of the 'official Disney princesses'!
These aren't 'Disney' Princesses, they are nearly all characters created by the writers of classic fairy tales. Hate the way nowadays the evil Disney empire takes credit for them.
Once Disney adds them to the official Disney Princess franchise, I'm sure they will. For the time being, though, Frozen merch is still profitable enough on its own that Disney is still keeping them separate.
She was part of the original lineup, as was Tinker Bell, but they were both removed pretty quickly. They removed Tink so she could headline her own franchise, Disney Fairies, but I'm not sure why they removed Esmeralda. Maybe they thought she just wasn't a big enough draw? Regardless, she's not part of the current official lineup.
Moana and Pocahontas are only princesses in the loosest sense of the word, and Mulan's not a princess in any way, so that's not strictly a criteria to be a Disney Princess™️.
and even if you can't, how on Earth is that comment sexist? In a Sarkeesian sense that literally everything anyone ever says or does is sexist?

I don't even know why we're talking about daughters

And i few little cousins! :) 😂😆😉😁😊😄🎶🎉🎆💕🎊🏰
Pocahontas is also not a princess, she is the daughter of a chief.
(for those uneducated humans a goat is the greatest of all time)
