It makes me sad to see people look at the DPs and say MULAN isn't a princess... because frankly why should being a princess matter...same with Merida "she doesn't even have a prince." Why does she need a prince? Especially when I hear "she can't be a princess she is ugly." Why should it matter what she looks like? Don't anyone dare call me an extreme feminist because I'm not even a regular feminist. Also when people say "Mulan and Merida act like boys." Why must you assign gender roles for them to play. I just hate it when a bratty little kid says that ...and by bratty little kids I mean 13-35 year old men/women here on fanpop. In fact I can only hope Disney adds more regular heroines to the list. tbh disney annoys me a lot but nothing can be perfect. Why can't we all just love all characters regardless. Disney made his movies for entertainment not to cause arguments. I swear sometimes we take the movie to seriously, you can hate a character but don't hate them for stupid reasons..."an argument with out facts, is an argument lost in the face of truth." I'm just so done with taking DPs seriously they are CARTOONS if you take them to seriously it will turn into a 'politically correct' crisis I get it talk about DP problems what it teaches kids...but parents teach their kids not the movie so what does it matter what the characters do? It is what it is. so why bring up arguments that end in something we can't change. What I just wrote made no sense, but I wrote it. You may continue your scrolling.

preach olivia!! i was at magic kingdom today and i saw a princess doll set with no 花木兰 或者 merida 或者 pocahontas. so i went up to the cashier and i asked her " why arent mulan, pocahontas and merida there?" and she said, "oh they are not offical 迪士尼 princesses sorry". why the hell is that woman working at a 迪士尼 store if she doesnt know a thing about 迪士尼 princesses? oh my gosh im getting a 心 attack just talking about it.

The whole point of a princess is to become an heir to the kingdom and take care of her people. We see this done best 由 Mulan. She saved the entire empire

True. Being a princess in theory means you're in line for the throne, and will one 日 become a monarch that governs, guides, and protects their people. This has only really been explored in 更多 最近的 films. Pocahontas prevents war 由 standing up to her father and leads her people through peace and wisdom, 花木兰 saves the empire (but she's not royalty 由 blood 或者 marriage; the highest she'll get is war hero, royal counselor and/or general), the ending of 魔发奇缘 makes it clear Rapunzel will rule and guide her people like her parents before her, and Merida shows the harsh reality of what it is to become queen.

由 the way though, I'm just annoyed with the princess line in general. 花木兰 is indeed not a princess, but I don't think that's a problem. I think it's great because she's an every girl that rises above the limitations of her society to save it and attains greatness, which I think is great. Merida is an unconventional princess, but like 你 I think that should be celebrated, not derided. I think 花木兰 and Merida have 更多 "tomboy traits" (based on gender roles inflicted 由 our society) but I again think that's a good thing because they represent and set a positive precedent for girls with those traits. I'm all for 更多 heroines with different personalities, traits, goals, stories, etc. besides the tried and true traits of most princesses in the lineup.

I'm not a huge 粉丝 of the "Official 迪士尼 Princess Lineup" anyway because it feels like one has to be a princess to get recognition and adulation, which doesn't seem to be a good message to send society. Esmeralda stood up to injustice and set off a domino effect that helped end a tyrant judge's 20-year persecution in France... but she's not a princess, so she doesn't get featured as prominently as the princesses who wear pretty froofy dresses. 说 princesses also do great things in their movies, but it's not their accomplishments we'll advertise, but their pretty hair and dresses. It just annoys me in general. I think heroines should be able to do 更多 to get a movie than be a princess 或者 wear pretty dresses to market merchandise.

Agreed! I admit when I was little I didn't like Poca 或者 花木兰 for how they acted/dressed, I have better reasons now to dislike 花木兰 and I 爱情 Poca!

"An argument without facts is an argument 迷失 in the face of truth."I 爱情 你 so much.I assume 由 arguments 你 mean arguments about whether a DP should be added to the lineup.That is made up of opinions.There is no fact in there.It is a fact that Merida is part of the lineup but an opinion that she shouldn't be part of the lineup and she should be part of the lineup.
