Then again, a lot of Disney "princesses" aren't technically princesses.

Exactly...I totally looked this up on WikiP cause I don't actually KNOW what they consider a "Disney Princess" but only Jasmine, Snow White (The hunter says "The little princess"), and Aurora were really princesses. For the sake of X-3 I'm not including the little mermaid. :P

Everyone else is either a princess consort or not a princess at all. (Although they supposedly count Pochahontas as a princess and I don't know if that counts...American Indians didn't HAVE old-world style royalty.)

By "consorts", I take it you mean the ones who married into royalty, like Cinderella and Belle. Trust me, little girls don't know the difference.

Not old-world style, but the concept of Native American princesses is a fairly common one.

Exactly..and yes I know little girls wouldn't know the difference...heck I doubt a lotta people who didn't sit down and do some reading about nobility would even know what a consort is and think Marie, Princess of Liechtenstein just has that as a title.

I think all of the Disney Princesses became legit except Mulan and Pocahontas.
But Pocahontas was the daughter of a village leader and early settlers presented Tribal Elders with crowns as if they were kings.

Either way, both are needed to create the Disney 'Multi Cultural Pals' image.

Let's see.

Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine and Kida were all princesses. Cinderella and Belle all married princes, and therefore became princesses.

Pocahontas was the daughter of a chief, which is comparable to being a princess. (Fun fact: when the historic Pocahontas was taken to Europe, she was advertised as being a sort of "Native American princess".) Mulan was a peasant girl who never married a prince (her love interest was an army captain). Esmeralda, Megara, and other girls occasionally thrown in there don't even come close.

So, Tiana will probably end up in the same place as Cinderella and Belle. Take it from me... I know my Disney animated features.

Which movie is Kida from? I don't recall a character with that name, and I've seen just about all of them several times.

Is she from The Black Cauldron? I haven't seen that one.

ZeldaGirl · #33

Kida - Atlantis. Not the best offering of Disney's.

Val's right on the money. I'm a certified Disney-fanatic, so I can vouch for him. ;)

That was Elynwy or whoever. (I don't know how to spell her name) Considering the movie is considered a black sheep and that the copyright for her character may be held by someone else, I highly doubt she'd count as a Disney Princess. (Although she WAS welsh, which is what the Prydain Books' setting was based around)

Prelude to "Friends on the Other Side."

Dr. Facilier is one suave mother****er.

I kind of love his character. What I've seen so far, at least.

I think this guy has already gotten the title of one of the great Disney villains, and will most likely be the best to come from this decade...

What I've seen of this film so far gives me hope for Disney's animated features...
