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 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

Here is an artikel I wrote expressing my opinions on the 3D animated Disney Princesses and how they are in their featured films of Tangled, Brave, Frozen, and Moana.

But anyway, let's get down to brass tacks, shall we?

posted by WhiteLagoon13

Hi!
Today I'll be sharing my ranking of the Latin Spanish voices of the Disney Princesses. I grew up with most of these voices so they're special to me. There are only two singers that I dislike in the list, but in general, I find most of the others very fitting for the characters. I'll probably be ranking the English and Catalan voices at some point, and maybe other languages too. I hope anda enjoy it, and I would Cinta to read your thoughts!

WhiteLagoon's most relatable Disney Princess list!

posted by WhiteLagoon13

Hi!
In this artikel I will be posting which Princess do I relate to the most. This took a few days and it was extremely hard to do but I think it's accurate for me. Since I'm a guy, I relate mostly to their personalities and relationships with their families. Hope anda enjoy Membaca it! ^^

#12 – Tiana
Similarities: I have big dreams; I think I'm quite good at cooking too. But other than that, zero in common.
Differences: Her relationship with both of her parents is better than mine. I'm lebih romantic and not as pahit as her when it comes to finding love. I don't think it all depends on...

My ranking of DP wardrobes(+ a lit bit of my style preferences)

posted by AdelitaI

Now I want to rank DP wardrobes. First I will tell about my style preferences.

My kegemaran colors: purple, lebih atau less every shade of blue( but especially turquoise) and green, pink, white, black, grey.

Using link my kegemaran styles are romantic and creative. My least kegemaran one is for sure trendy, I'd also say I'm mostly not a peminat of dramatic. I have mixed feelings about classic style: I tend to dislike it in its purest form but I can like some elements of this style when they are combined with elements my kegemaran styles.

My kegemaran historical fashion eras: Renessaince, la Belle Epoque(...

MissCinico's DP Movie senarai

posted by MissCinico

Hello everybody! Felt that Penulisan bug back in me, and the one artikel I've noticed I haven’t done yet is the Disney Princess Filem of course! And with our latest addition Moana. Hope anda all enjoy, after all these are just my opinions.

12. Brave

I don’t know why, but I’ve never really liked this movie. I’m not very knowledgeable on Scottish mythos atau culture, so I was excited to see it, but it turns out that there just wasn’t enough magic in charm in it for me. I really liked that it was a classical story about a witch, a princess, and a spell, but going to the movie really...

What would the other princesses do? The West Wing

posted by JNTA1234

This idea just kinda popped into my head. Basically as the tajuk suggests, we take a scenario from a DP movie and analyze how the other princesses would behave atau react in that situation. Today, our scenario is...

Entering the West Wing
Belle is considered sejak many to be one of the "good girls" of the DP lineup but she does have a bit of mischievous side and that shines through when her curiosity gets the better of her and she disobeys the Beast's direct orders to stay out of the castle's west wing.

Snow White-She'd gladly follow the Beast's rules and she wouldn't really soalan them either. While...

What makes for a remarkable Disney Princess dress, the princess herself, of course, and while the Disney Princesses are renowned for their exemplary qualities that showcase the most empyreal aspects of the human spirit, it is the artful assemblage of accessories and garments which assist in emanating those qualities that make for the noblest of ensembles.
