Why isn't Esmeralda considered a 迪士尼 Princess?

Pocahontas is a Princess...a native American Princess...

have i stated otherwise? no, i havent. but since 你 are bringing it up, i dont consider her to be a princess. she is a dp-lineup princess, but not one of her own

First of all, just because 你 don't consider her one, doesn't mean she isn't. 秒 of all, there are requirements 你 have to meet to be a 迪士尼 Princess. Although one of the requirements is about the popularity of the movie, that's not all. 花木兰 was added because she met the criteria and her movie was really popular. Esmerelda is not a princess, nor did she really perform a significant act of heroism. Honestly a large amount of children don't even know who Esmerelda is. So why would 你 spend money on making 玩偶 and 万圣节前夕 costumes if you're not even going to sell Half as many as the other princesses? Also she is not the main protagonist, and she doesn't have a fairytale story behind her, which is the same reason TinkerBell was removed.

Agree!! , lets but Hunchbak of Notredame stuff to get them back also fandom can help... Things like draw maybe. The Hunchback of NotreDame is one of my fave movies, and I 爱情 Victor Hugo novels (well the three most 流行的 at least, and well Victor Hugo has this awersome power to make 你 in 爱情 of a deformed man, because He's so so cute XD), Its is somehow changed from the book 或者 other adaptations, but I think that was a very welldone. The things they've changed was for a reason. and I really wish they bring back 更多 stuff because it deserves... Also I still think SHe was not to much sexual, but probably Im thinking it because Im not a sexual person XD

I agree that Esmeralda is not considered a 迪士尼 princess but 阿拉丁 did not come out first.

Im not agree at all... Esmeralda deserved it same if 花木兰 deserved it because both are heroic... Es was a fighter and if 你 ask me, her personality was the best of all Esmeralda's addaptations I've seen

I am not an "extreme" mom, but I still have not let my daughters watch HOND...There is a lot going on in that movie I do not agree with and find innapropriate. And Pocahontas was considered a Princess in the real story too...The settlers thought of her as a Native American Princess because she was the chiefs daughter.....

由 the way I don't think all moms are the extreme ones if they think that XD

I’m sorry but what? Esmeralda Is a bad role model? I think you’re giving children less credit than they deserve. Yeah she was sexualized, but children don’t see it that way. They see her as beautiful and brave, just like every other 迪士尼 princess. The fact that she rejects Frollo and refuses to adhere to him, even though it would have saved her from being burnt alive. That shows that she was 更多 than just a sexy girl. She is also completely in control of her sexuality, being sexy when she is dancing, yet mocking those that objectify her. She was also insanely caring. She never rejects Quasi for his deformity, and even stands up for him when the crowd is torturing him, when she could have been arrested for talking that way to Frollo. She tells Quasi that he is not a monster. She saved Phoebus when he is wounded. She also teaches the audience that even though she is poor, she doesn’t ask for wealth. She asks for those less fortunate than her to find the help they need. And furthermore, she is one of the few 迪士尼 females that didn’t fall in 爱情 right away 或者 within a few days. It took her WEEKS, maybe MONTHS to fall for Phoebus. She has to learn that he would not murder innocent people, that he had good morals, that he was kind and good hearted. She also demonstrates that she can be 更多 than one thing. She can be beautiful, 你 can be sexy, yet 你 can also be rowdy, 你 can be so tough that 你 can over power men, 你 can be fierce, and 你 can be kind. She is a wonderful role model for young girls. And she deserves 更多 credit than she gets.

Cheerst to @DanniGiraffe !! Im so so glad that all tu have say... The hunchback innapropiate for kids? pleaseee!!! I had 3 years old when his movie came, and I also loved it, I had colorbooks and later a comic that I loved so much and later I think I felt in amor with Quasimodo because he was really a cute and a dreamer man, so talented and so gentle with a very sweet heart. I've never seen a kinda sexualization in Esmeralda until a few days before now when I re-watched the movie before I havent seen it in some years and try to research about Victor Hugo and other adaptations, thats because now Im a pretty 粉丝 of Victor Hugo because He stoled my 心 with his dramac novel and adorable characters, but Im so so GLAD that movie adaptations make a happier ending for the characters that deserved it. The other adaptations o the book has más children unapropiated scenes of facts like the cour des milacres was called like this because was a refuge for thieves, prostitutes,criminals etc and Gyspys was not good people because they only apears like "comprachicos" (not sure if Victor Hugo want ir because I found and articulo that dicho that in his other book He havent mentioned comprachicos were gypsies). Not the same with the 迪士尼 version than mostrar gypsies as a good pepple and the people with the cour des milacres too (good but poor people). Esmedalda does many good things that DanniGiraffe told us yet... and about her sexualization I dont believe that all the people specially childers saw that, Esperalda (on the 迪士尼 version) was a Valiente and inteligernt girl for me that make many good things, and about her dance I didnt see it as a sexualization probably because Im asexual apothisexual :P

I dont think The Huchback of NotreDame Disney's adaptation is so mature for kids... When I was a little girl I enjoyed so much and also I enjoyed a comic book I had. I think Esmeralda is a hero too not just a gypsy!! because all the things that DanniGirafe 说 yet... She save Quasimodo, Phoebus and she fight for justice and for gypsies...I think that make her a hero too!

She is a gypsy but the way that 迪士尼 显示 gypsys was perfect for not discriminate her for being a Gyspy...

Thats the best and objetive reason... and as 你 say then 花木兰 cant anf then Pocahontas, Megara and Elyonwy should be

Gisele was going to be included but it never happen because 着魔 was live action and they would have have to pay Amy Adams 更多 money.

Agree with 你 oth I would dont like to see Giselle in the line up because its Live action and it would be weird... Giselle's was not taken for a book, tale 或者 legend... so I dont saw her as a DP...

But In that case We have two likes heros and princesses and Mulan, Esmeralda should be in the heros not in the princess

I hope for a new line... for all the non 迪士尼 Princesses that deserves 更多 promotion something like "female heros" (but we have heroic pricesses too..) its a bit hard but some characters deserve it... Esmeralda is a good character and I would 爱情 to but a lot of The Hunchback of notredame stuff as I can because Im a Victor Hugo's 粉丝 too *^* but I havent seen all those stuff :(

I dont believe is not for childrens because I saw it when I have 3 years old, and some times a bit oldier... then I leave a long time without seeing it until now and I 爱情 it back again!. Now see me, probably a big part of this movie and novel is in my personality now... About the main character is the only thing that make a kind of sense... but they can make another exception 或者 another line with 花木兰 and Esmeralda here and not in the other and (Jane too)

Neither Mulan....

That has sense.... The only bad thing here is that non-princess 迪士尼 female have a very few stuff :(

When I was a kind and still I loved ther and that movie :( even I leave to see it many years... but I dont find her sexual... sexual was the mind of Frollo, but its different. About the money its true is not a very 流行的 movie even is so so GOOD!!

茉莉, 茉莉花 was definitely in the movie 更多 than Esmerelda. And it does have the do with being a princess. It's in the requirements.
