Why aren't Esmeralda and Megara Disney Princesses

posted by JNTA1234

Disney Heriones

The two most được ưa chuộng Disney women outside of the DP franchise. These two exotic beauties are definitely người hâm mộ các sở thích 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 thêm 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 thêm 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 tình yêu are both được ưa chuộng songs.
-Both women are great role người mẫu 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 bởi Disney's standards. They didn't do terrible bởi any means but in comparison to The Lion King and Aladdin và cây đèn thần it's pretty bad.
-Neither of them are the main character in their movies. Let's be honest here, hoa nhài 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 thiết kế 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 tình yêu and they're from different cultures. I truly don't understand why Disney won't acknowledge these strong and beautiful ladies. I tình yêu Esmeralda's sex appeal and I tình yêu Megara's deadpan snarker attitude. Maybe one ngày 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.

Let’s set some things straight about Snow White (but also Lọ lem and Aurora)

posted by AudreyFreak

Sorry it's long. I have a lot of beliefs about these three to respond to! May get preachy!

I really hate all the hate the old princesses get, especially Snow White. She has a lot thêm personality than she is được trao credit for (more than many of the gần đây heroines have, too). she’s got a sassy sense of humor, she’s unbelievably emotionally strong despite the horrible abuse and near murder she went through twice (the victim blaming she and Lọ lem get is rather disgusting and hypocritical), she never gave up hope about meeting her tình yêu again, she didn’t need to run around chasing boys...

My danh sách Of Prettiest Disney Princesses

posted by jazzypops

Typical Merida photo.

This is my personal danh sách of the prettiest Disney princesses. Again, this is just an opinion and their is no right hoặc wrong.I will also be rating the princesses in a mark I find fair (out of 10)

11) Merida (Brave)
I think her round face is what bothers me the most. It looks just like a big,fat circle, although her freckles fit her quite well. Her hair looks like she hasn't brushed it in year. And no, I'm not saying curls are ugly, but I think hers has too many volume.Don't get me wrong, she is pretty but she can't compare to other princesses.
Rate: 4

10) Mulan (Mulan)
I think Mulan is pretty too,...

The flaws of each princess (in my opinion)

We all know that not even the Disney Princesses can be perfect so here's my bài viết listing up some of the flaws that each princess has in my opinion. Okay I'm going to probably get a lot of hate for this, but like Miley Cyrus sang in Hannah Montana "Nobody's Perfect".

Snow White:

Even though I'm a big người hâm mộ of her she has flaws, but they aren't big ones at all and the first one that I have listed I can understand that one. Okay the first flaw about her is that she accepted the táo, apple from the old hag when she wasn't supposed to, but I can understand why she did it, the hag tricked her into...

Animaluco's yêu thích "I Want" songs

I've already written các bài viết on my yêu thích princesses and action scenes, and now the countdow is about the "I want" songs. That's one of my yêu thích moments in all DP movies. hoa nhài doesn't have any solo song, so I didn't include her in the countdown.

Please notice I considered the scenes as a whole, not only the song.

This song is short, and it doesn't help that it's showed in the middle in the movie - It doesn't add nothing about Snow White's personality. It also doesn't help that she sang it sitting on a chair, that forbidded the animation...

This may come as a shocker for some. They are so blue and they looks weird. All my attention falls on her lips and the shape of her face rather that her eyes. I feel like "hmm, wow those eyes. Got to look away, ugh very blue, i might be blind after"

In Defense of the Disney Princesses

posted by Swanpride

I have to say, I’m tired of all this talk that the Disney Princesses are not feminist enough. Hearing some of the arguments against them, I come to the conclusion that the only female protagonist the complainers would accept has to be single, career oriented, perfect in every situation and being able to defeat every villain with a hand wave. This idea that the perfect female role model has to be Victorious in every situation and being able to handle everything herself terrifies me much thêm than beauty standards the Disney Princesses represents. Because, when it comes down to it, we all know...

*~DreamyGals yêu thích Princess Outfits Part 2: Formal Wear~*

posted by DreamyGal

16. Tiana’s Green Dress
This is the only Formal Princess dress that I hate. It is hideous! It isn’t flattering on Tiana. The color looks washed out, and the style of it is just plain awful. It looks like the animators literally drew this up in a few minutes. Of course she wears her hair up with this dress, but it isn’t in a cute ponytail, hoặc a neat bun; it is pulled up, but looks ratty, like she slept on it, and her tiara looks tacky.
