I just wish there wasn't a prime number of princesses. Like, either 10, or preferably 12 since that has so many divisibility options.

Only Merida. She is just not a Princess material to me.

Honestly, at this point, overwhelmingly NO. I don't think this needs to happen at all. And if you dislike a certain princess or princesses that's fine. Removal to me is going to far. I have other things in my life that are way more serious than who is or isn't a Disney Princess.

Nope, if anything I want to add princesses to the lineup. Kida, Esmeralda, Moana, Elsa, Anna, Jane, Eilonwy, and Meg should all be included imo. I'm probably forgetting some, but these are the main ones I want added.

I'm not sure that I would go to the extreme of actually removing her, but I really don't understand why Merida is in the lineup. I like that she is rebellious and doesn't have a prince, but adding a Pixar princess seems like opening Pandora's box to allowing any character into the lineup, and she really is an anti-princess. Moana would be more suitable than Merida.

Mulan and Merida. Mulan because she's not, by any technicality, a princess and Merida because she's Pixar. I think I would like it if they were replaced with Moana and maybe a future ethnically diverse princess, even Elena of Avalor, I would like more definitive standards for the DP line instead of just any animated female that kind of fits the Disney qualification. I really don't mind them on the line (especially since Mulan is one of my favorites), but if I could be in charge of the line I'd make it so the rules are: princess/ daughter of chief/ daughter of emperor and that they have to be a Disney Animation Studios product. Just because I'm OCD like that.

^with that logic i'd remove pocahontas, since she's not a princess either. I wouldn't be against the lineup being just royalty. but, I think the message of the disney princess lineup is not necessarily actual royalty, but DISNEY royalty. i get what youre saying though

^^I'm actually GLAD Disney hasn't made the lineup exclusively about royalty ( because that's the only reason Merida is allowed, I think. It wasn't because Merida did anything heroic and saved lives like Mulan and Pocahontas did). Also, removing Mulan and Pocahontas makes the lineup really just boring-- and narrowly focused only on characters who just pursue their dreams. *yawn*


As for replacing Mulan with Moana? Moana is a giant "meh" for me. Moana's Grandma Tala was way more interesting an individual than Moana was. Moana just kept being skittish about everything, and obsessed about what everybody thought of her. Moana's bruised ego problems got annoying really, really fast. Moana lacks courage, and is not a replacement for Mulan, and neither is Elena. And removing Mulan and Pocahontas would really get rid of most of my actual enthusiasm for Disney Princess. Removing Mulan and Pocahontas would be your solution, but it would definitely not be the solution for me. I grew up with them. And I don't like the "whims" of other people, deciding for me who is "available" as a princess.

^I said the opposite, I said "I think the message of Disney princess lineup is not necessarily actual royalty, but Disney royalty". I wouldn't want to remove Mulan and Pocahontas, I like that they're in there. I'm just saying if you're going you remove Mulan, you should remove Pocahontas too.

@wavesurf, Well I don't want to remove Pocahontas, because I think daughter of a chief technically is princess enough (in my original comment), but I agree with you guys. I like that Mulan and Merida are currently in the line, but if I could control it I'd just make stricter rules so it kind of makes sense, I feel like those two are kind of the odd ones out is all.

@MissCinico - Actually, the Powhatan tribe functioned as a democracy, so no, she is not the equivalent.

^ there are democracies with monarchs or chiefs or emperors as heads of state (e.g., japan, the netherlands). being a democracy doesn't mean you don't have a leading family.

i agree with misscinico that there's a difference between mulan and pocahontas - pocahontas is the daughter of the leader; mulan isn't remotely related to anyone in power.

But usually they are separate governing powers. And native Americans have explicit expressed that they don't like Pocahontas being called a Disney princess given how they bastardized history. It's also like calling obama's daughters princesses.

well, yeah, but the criticism seems to be more that they don't want to be associated with the trashfire that pocahontas the movie is, rather than any technical issues over what a princess is. (disney should be taking their feelings into account regardless, but that's a tangent). all we're saying is that she fits the "daughter of the leader" thing much more easily than mulan does. i suppose if disney (god forbid) did a trump movie, they could also slide ivanka into the lineup the same way. i don't want to talk about that any further though because i'm gonna throw up.

As I said, it's more like the Presidents daughter which I don't see as royalty. We all know Disney's feelings on Trump because of the alien monster they did for Hall of presidents. I suspect their next villain is going to be an allusion to him

@princesslullaby being part of an indigenous group myself, I understand how the title princess isn't necessarily accurate, but it's not like something super offensive. The definition of a princess is really just the female ruler of a small state, actually, nominally, or originally subject to a king or emperor. So, Pocahontas definitely fits those qualifications way more than Mulan or Obama's daughters (since they've been out of power/ never had any ruling over anything), since she is an active leader in her tribe and will be for the duration of her life.
I get that these are all technicalities, but for me I would like some basis for the rules on DP line or else I start asking questions like "why can't Esmeralda be one," and the like. I'd just like it if the rules for being an Official Disney Princess™ made sense. Since they are somehow supposed to be different than any old Disney heroine it doesn't make sense how Mulan is Included, but Kida, Jane, etc. are excluded, so instead of adding all of those I'd rather exclude Mulan and add heroines that actual fit the technicalities. Not that it really matters, I'm just particular like that.

I explained that a little more than I wanted to, but hopefully I don't seem all persnickety.

^Unless you're from the Powhatan tribe, I don't think you can really speak for what they consider a princess or not. And they have expressed their disdain. we're not going to agree on this

I mean, it just all has to do with marketability, but it does seem somewhat arbitrary. I classify it as any human female who is the main character and sings in the movie- This would eliminate almost everyone except for Alice, who I think is just too young, maybe? And doesn't include Jasmine, but she is actual royalty and her movie is successful. As for Kida & Jane, they don't sing nor at the leads, but Kida would fall under the same category as Jasmine, however Atlantis was NOT a financially successful movie.

@princesslullaby, even if someone was from the tribe they don't speak for the whole group of people. I'm just saying I'm aware they don't consider her a princess based on my own culture, but she still fits the definition. I wasn't really asking you to agree with me, so much as explaining myself.

Yeah, it is mostly do to success that characters are Disney Princesses, and that's what I don't like about it, I would just want rules to make sense, like fitting a princess-esque description and being marginally successful. Since the question was who I would remove, I'm just explaining why, I didn't mean for this to become a thing.

Agreed with what people said about Mulan and Merida. And as much as I love her, I wouldn't be devastated if Poca left. Those 3 stick out the most.
