Why aren't Esmeralda and Megara Disney Princesses

posted by JNTA1234

Disney Heriones

The two most popular Disney women outside of the DP franchise. These two exotic beauties are definitely peminat Kegemaran when it comes to Animated Heriones, so why aren't they apart of the official line-up? The main reason people complain about Mulan being an official princess is that she gets recognized when these two ladies don't. Even though Megara is closer to royalty than her and Esmeralda is pretty much equal to Mulan. So basically I'm going to do the same thing I did with Merida. Look at the Pros and Cons of adding Esmeralda and Megara to the line-up. The only difference is, Merida still has a chance to be a Disney Princess. For these two that ship as sailed, but at least they get to be in merchandise every once in a while. You'll also notice that I'm alittle lebih detailed in this article, fully explaining my points. Let's get started.

Hopeless Romantic

Reasons Why
-Esmeralda's Spanish and Megara's Greek, adding alot lebih diversity to the line-up.
-Megara ends up with Hercules, the son of a God. She may not be a princess but she is royalty.
-Both girls sing in their films, God Help The Outcasts and I Won't Say I'm In Cinta are both popular songs.
-Both women are great role Model for young girls to look up to.
-Megara is role model for young ladies in that she refuses to be a damsel in distress
-Esmeralda is a good role model for people as whole. She wants to put an end to prejudice.

Gypsy and Activist

Reasons Why Not
-Both of their films are failures sejak Disney's standards. They didn't do terrible sejak any means but in comparison to The Lion King and Aladdin it's pretty bad.
-Neither of them are the main character in their movies. Let's be honest here, melati, jasmine just got lucky because her film earned alot of money.
-Esmeralda's movie is rather dark, mature and not very suitable for a franchise for little girls.
-Megara's Rekaan is completely outta whack compared to the other princesses.

Dynamic Duo

Personally, I really want these two to be offiicial Disney Princesses and it really bothers me that they're not. With all the other heriones, like Jane, Alice, Kida, Nala, Lilo, it's easy to see why they're not apart of DP. But with Megara and Esmeralda, it's harder pinpoint why because they fit the criteria so well. They sing, they fall in Cinta and they're from different cultures. I truly don't understand why Disney won't acknowledge these strong and beautiful ladies. I Cinta Esmeralda's sex appeal and I Cinta Megara's deadpan snarker attitude. Maybe one hari Disney will see the errors of their ways. For now, I'm comfortable with the official line up but it could be much better with these two action girls.

Raipunzel, jainabieber7 and 5 others like this

Safira-09 i don´t want them in the line up, because i love them to much for this and fear for girlish-turned versions of them...

Pikatogeon16 here's why: A. They aren't princesses B: The story is not about them (that's why Mulan, who didn't marry a prince,is a princess because shes the main character.) C. Neither one of their movies were very successful, not even vault worthy, I'm sure someday they will be but that day is not today D. Esmeralda is a character with high religious perspectives which is the riskiest characteristic you can have on a princess Sorry. But never say never

Jessikaroo I'd rather have Disney create the heroine line-up for Esmeralda, Meg, Jane, Alice, Kida, Lilo and whoever else I forgot. I know lots of kids who'd prefer the heroine's to the princesses, and you're right Esme and Meg are fan favourites. And having their own line-up would mean you could actually find merchandise! :o My dream shall live on... Good article though :) EDIT: I don't think the whole religious thin is a very good argument against Esmeralda being in the line-up, Snow White was seen praying in her movie.

alldisfan It can be argued that they're not the protagonists but if you know the real story of The Hunchback of Notre Dame you know that Esmerelda is actually the main character. Disney changed the focus. Also Esmerelda is not Spanish. Indian is closer though I believe "gyspy" is derived from the mistaken identification with Egyptians. I love Esmerelda (Megara-not so much) but a princess she is not. She didn't even get with the main character (which is closer to what actually happened in the book-arguably). Why should she matter so much? And more than Kida? Not in my book. You stated your point well though and that is all that matters.

TigerRanma One can't say that Esmeralda is Spanish. It's never confirmed that she is. If she really is a Gypsy, she would be considered Romani, whose ancestors are Indian. Hell, in the book, she's not even born a gypsy; she's a French girl adopted by gypsies. Other than that, I think you made a good article about why Esmeralda and Meg are not in the Disney Princess lineup.

JNTA1234 Well I read somewhere that the original character is Spanish, I think it was Wikipedia, I'm not sure. Plus she's played by Salma Hayek in another adaption. Esmeralda's ethnicity always confused me. Anyways, Thanks For Reading :)

coolsinger198 i agree so much with this article!

TigerRanma No. In the original story, Esmeralda was a French girl named Agnes who was adopted by Gypsies. In the Disney version, they actually made her a Gypsy, meaning she is Romani. That race's ancestry originates from India.

QueenElsa123 Megara actually is a princess because she was the oldest daughter of Creon, the King of Thebes in Greek mythology. So really Megara should be an official Disney princess.

greenfox411 Esmeralda should be a disney princess. I think just on the basis that in Once upon a princess she is adopted by Clopin who is considered the leader of the gypsies and in the books even called the King of Truands/King of the Gypsies. In many adaptions of the story Esmeralda is considered Queen of the Gypsies.

J3rs3yG1rl First off, saying they aren't in the Princess line up is a cop out because Mulan isn't one either. In fact, Disney even referenced Esmeralda as being Queen of the Gypsies. Being Clopin's heir in a way, she is royalty by that. She doesn't have to have nobility. Clopin is the leader/King of their people. Therefore, when she was taken under his wing, she became the equivalent to a Princess among her people. Also, the movie wasn't a failure. It's ignored by the company because of a grudge against former CEO Michael Eisner who's favorite film happened to be Hunchback.

Disney Princess Heights

posted by GotheDistance

I have seen a few Disney Princess Threads talking about the heights of the Disney princesses. I am going to give my opinion based on myself and facts.

Tall;
Esmeralda: She's not an official princess, but yes, she is the tallest. It has been confirmed.
Pocahontas; She's almost the height as John Smith, who was a tall man. She was always drawn with really long legs.
Elsa: She is Norwegian, the oldest, and has always just seem tall to me, even when she was younger.
Megara; Meg has the saat tallest boyfriend, and is around his neck. I'm going to count it.

WHY FLYNN IS THE BEST Disney PRINCE!

posted by JaimeRay

Flynn "theyjustcan'tgetmynoseright" Rider.

There are a lot of Aladdin and Price Eric peminat-peminat out there – and while I’ll admit I’m a peminat of both – neither come close to the swashbuckling (and smouldering) perfection that is Flynn Rider. He’s heroic, hilarious and has lebih than enough personality to share with the pre-1989 Prince’s. He is, sejak far, my favourite Disney prince – and for the life of me, I can’t understand how people so easily overlook him. And that is exactly why I’m Penulisan this artikel – to give credit where credit is due.

I’ve divided this artikel up into 4 parts – Heroicness, Humor, Personality &...

Best Disney Princess Eyes

posted by misssy

10. Mulan
Mulan is pretty, but not stunning. I find her to be a little plain. I am not saying that she's ugly at all, I just think the other princesses have prettier eyes.

9. Snow White
Despite what everyone says about Snow White being ugly, she actually has very beautiful eyes. They're almost perfectly round and are a very nice shade of brown. In addition her eyelashes are ridiculously long.

8. Tiana
Tiana has big beautiful brown eyes. They compliment her skin tone so well. Her eyes are very magnetic, but there are still prettier...

My Prettiest Disney Princesses

posted by KataraLover

I figured since Merida is now in the line-up I should remake my prettiest Disney Princess list. I wanna make it clear that I think all of them are beautiful, just in different ways. Please komen telling me what anda think.

11.Cinderella

Classically beautiful but plain with a poorly drawn nose, quite common, and looks MUCH prettier in the third movie

I know I'm going to get attacked sejak several people but I actually don't think she's all that special. First of all the animasi is too old fashioned and her Rekaan is too simply so those are two things that work against each other. However...

Why I Cinta Elsa

posted by dclairmont

Elsa as a kid, before she had to hide her powers

There are going to be spoilers, of course, so I wouldn't read this if anda haven't watched the movie yet! Anyway, I've written an artikel like this for Aurora, Snow, and Tiana, and thought it was only right to write one for my new saat kegemaran princess, Elsa. I plan on making these for all of the princesses at some point, since I do Cinta them all, but I was just really excited to write about Elsa ASAP. So without further ado, let's get started!

Going into Frozen, I had a feeling I was going to Cinta Elsa. She's different from anything we've ever gotten before, and gives us a fresh point of...

Best Disney Princess Smiles Countdown Results (Voted sejak Fanpop)

posted by disneygirl7

As my last countdown was boring, senseless and weird, I decided to go with a much lebih simpler and faster countdown topic this time. Since my last countdown was not elimination sejak votes, I decided to try out the elimination sejak komen-komen this time. So, here are the results!

#11: Pocahontas
Many think of Poca's smile as forced and unemotional, and I guess that is true. She hardly smiles in her film, and basically all her pretty moments are non-smile ones. So no surprise she ended up last.

Comments:

"Pocahontas, looks really forced and unnatural. Maybe it is because of her animasi style and the...

Anna Mary Sue Test

Welcome to my saat Mary Sue Test! This is for Anna. I'll be doing one for Elsa next.

Unique traits without contacts atau hair dye- No, Anna's hair and eye color are pretty realistic.
An odd name- No. 'Anna' is a common name, if her pronunciation isn't.
Looks constantly dikomen on- No. I can't remember Anna's looks being dikomen on much.
Always the hero- Sort of. She saved Kristoff from the wolves, falling off the mountain, saved them from Marshmallow, and saved Elsa from being executed. 1.
Multiple characters falling for her- No. Hans only pretended to, and Kristoff didn't until the end....

Dungeons & Naga & Disney Princesses - Kida

posted by MaidofOrleans

Dungeons & Naga (or D&D for short) is a super fun permukaan meja roleplaying game that's been around since the 1970s but has recently gained a fair bit of popularity. I've been playing the game for around eight years at time of writing, and I strongly recommend anda give it a try if anda ever get the chance. It's really an absolute blast! D&D has always been one of my kegemaran hobbies, but within the last two years it's become an even bigger part of my life. Since I've been having so much fun with it recently, I decided it was finally time to try something I'd always wanted to do: turning...

All of Elsa's Outfits in order Part 1

Hello to everyone! It's me, Elsafan1010. Actually, I should have written this artikel a hari ago, but I changed it a bit. This artikel was going to be about all of Elsa's dresses, I was even Penulisan about what she wore when she was little. But then I realized that her childhood clothes were boring. Most were dark blue dresses with black embroidered edges. Of course, beautiful dresses (everything Elsa is perfect) but boring subjects for an article. That's why I'm going to write down the clothes of when she was a young girl (queen) in detail and indicate the hairstyles atau the accessory she used...

What would happen if Disney Princesses were ugly?

posted by elsafan1010

" I am the prettiest!" LOL

I was thinking about this a long time ago. The beauty of a princess varies for everyone, but in their own movies, princesses are described as "the most beautiful". There is no beauty problem in every princess, especially those who have Cinta at first sight, and they live a comfortable Cinta life thanks to this beauty. Outward appearances play a big part in the princesses' happy ending. But what if they weren't pretty? How would their lives change? Now we're going to look at that.

Cinderella
Cinderella would never have had a happy ending without her beauty. Because the prince at the ball saw her...

Disney Princesses and their pets

posted by elsafan1010

This time my artikel will be about the pets of Disney princesses. I find them all sweet. Do not forget to mention your kegemaran pet in the comments.

1- Elsa (Bruni)
Elsa had become good Friends with Bruni, the api, kebakaran spirit. Bruni is a lizard, so he's considered a pet.

2- Rapunzel (Pascal and Maximus)
Rapunzel's best friend and pet is the sweet Pascal, whose chameleon. Pascal is really smart. Pascal is my kegemaran pet. Maximus isn't really Rapunzel's horse, but he's with her throughout the adventure, so it's sort of like a pet.

3- melati, jasmine (Rajah)
Jasmine's pet was Rajah, a huge tiger. She was very good Friends with him.

4- Merida (Angus)
Merida had a loyal and furry horse named Angus. Angus was completely black, with only a few whites on his nose.

5- Cinderella( mice)
Cinderella got along with mice and could talk to them. She even sewed clothes for mice.

6- Pocahontas( Meeko and Flit)

That bird and the fluffy friend were her friends
