Disney Princess Question

Does anyone else feel like Disney should make a hispanic princess?

I think it makes it more inspiring to little girls when they can look up to a princess of their race, it seems like they have more in common with that particular princess. . .but why hasnt disney come out with a hispanic one?

Yeah, there's always been discussion about that and they're been many past picks/questions regarding it . . . most people agree.

I feel they haven't done it yet because they had to tackle the larger minority first, and because they couldn't find an interesting story. I'm Hispanic and honestly, we don't have many popular cultural fairytales that could be translated well to film. And there aren't a lot of fairytales left. I'm sure they'll do it soon though, or the entire hispanic community will pick up on this tiny fact and go ballistic.

Alright, let me reword that- POPULAR, WELL KNOWN fairytales. Notice that, save for Mulan and Poca, all princesses are from well known tales. Why Aladdin out of all the tales of the Arabian Nights? Because it's POPULAR. They could've as easily done Julnar the Mermaid and her son Badar Basim. But no one knows that story.

I think it would be great if Disney made a movie and the heroine Hispanic princess! It's good for young children to see characters of different races together. :D

× A hipsanic princess would be great, and there are heaps of sroies they could do - the princess and the pea and rumpelstiltskin are the first ones that come to my mind, but just because they haven't made one with an unknown story yet, it doesn't mean they can't. Pocahontas was popluar, and another one could be too. Disney will surelt get around to it soon.
I actually really want a disney Egyptian princess.

They have to find a story that is not only interesting but also suitable for the cast depending on race/ethnicity.
I'm sure Disney will think of a story that will sound suitable for their future hispanic disney princess.

There was a time where Disney tried to create thier Hispanic Disney princess but were forced to lose her. Remember the Emperor's New Groove? Back in early production, when it was called, "Kingdom of the Sun," the synopsis was about a llama boy, Pacha, who switched places with Kuzco (originally named, Manco)-kind of like the Prince and the Pauper. Then, Yzma, who discovered the switch, turned Kuzco into a non-talking llama and threatened Pacha that she would reveal his identity unless he follows her orders. Yzma's goal was to use her black magic to plunge the world into darkness because she hates the sun-gaves her wrinkles. There was a sub-plot that included a princess, Nina, falling for young Pacha instead of her betrothed, Kuzco. The Disney crew had to change the story because the higher executives found the Kingdom of the Sun to be too predictable and similar to any of the Prince and the Pauper spin offs. While tweaking the story into the Emperor's New Groove, they had to remove the romance subplot because they realized that they couldn't fit it well into the story. So that was the end of Princess Nina-Disney's would-have-been-Hispanic-princess.
