Why isn't Esmeralda considered a Disney Princess?

because Disney cant throw 50 different girls into the line up...

they had to pick a few girls and they chosed two of the thêm được ưa chuộng ones. pocahontas and Mulan just did better than hond hoặc hercules, so pocahontas and Mulan joined in. because they would sell better...since the line up is just there to make even thêm money XD

i suppose that it even might be possible, that at least pocahontas gets kicked out again, after Disney released enough phim chiếu rạp with princesses, to fill in the spot.
its sad, but the line up is all about profit and since Disney doesnt even bother to make new cliparts for poca, i guess she doesnt really sells well enough...in their eyes.

i still have high hopes, that Disney will introduce a heroine line up someday, so that thêm Disney girls can get the attention they deserve and if những người hâm mộ would make thêm effort in saying and nghề viết văn thêm public, that they want something like that, it might become true someday...

sorry for the rant, but it always makes me furious, how Disney treats their own characters...

Because "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is based on a book, not a fairy tale hoặc legend. Plus, she isn't even the protagonist of her movie. hoa nhài might get away with this, Mulan might get away with not being really royality, but Esmeralda doesn't even fullfill one requirement for the line-up, aside from being female.

She actually was part of the Disney Princess line up back when it was first started around 2001, when Andy Mooney was chairman of consumer products. Esmeralda AND tinkerbell were part of it however they felt tinkerbell wasn't suitable and Esmeralda's reason's are not known from what I researched. I'm guessing it had to do with the fact she was too sexual. I would tình yêu to see her back hoặc at least thêm merchandise from the movie. I feel that The Hunchback of Notre Dame is getting thêm được ưa chuộng as time passes. It's airing thêm frequently on Disney Channel/DXD/DisneyJR so that's always a good sign. I'll bet bạn anything she may be in consideration for another set of Designer Disney Doll collection series. They made big bucks from major doll collectors and Disney những người đang yêu alike. I mean they flew off shelves and they actually had to start reserving búp bê and have certain time blocks to purchase them, lines were out the door. They recently made the female villains, and they, of all Disney merchandise are hardly ever made. So her prospects look good. If that happens they may even bring out Megara and Jane Porter. I don't know about Kida but that would be really interesting. Highly doubt Kida though. If Esmeralda is made in the new lineup, and she's the most được ưa chuộng doll, it could trigger bigger things. Disney tends to surprise me. Sometimes they sneak in Esmeralda and Jane on Fantasmic but it's rare. The Long Mất tích Những người bạn event at Disneyland was for the những người hâm mộ and they brought out phim chiếu rạp that aren't as pushed as the traditional Disney Princesses. bạn never know. It just depends I guess. The majority has to do with money, marketing, and popularity like anything else. Hope that helps :)

I tình yêu Esmeralda, she is my favourite Disney heroine and I think she should be considered a Disney Princess, but her movie wasn't được ưa chuộng enough and didn't bring a lot of money, unlike the other Disney princesses. Unfortunately, it's all about money...

She's not a princess because Aladdin và cây đèn thần came out first and this was back when brown was brown, no matter your race, and people were mistaking her for Jasmine. Also Aladdin và cây đèn thần did better in the Box Office, so the first girl was the clear choice to them at the time.

I had a hard time excepting Mulan as a DP at first, but she is thêm of a "Princess" then Esmeralda. Mulan is a Hero and Esmeralda not so much... I personally would like to see Kida and Merida in the line up, but whatever...I am glad they have not added anymore nonprincesses to the line up, but I have accepted Mulan does deserve a spot with her actions. sorry but I personally feel Esmeralda did nothing in her movie to deserve a spot as a DP.

Well those extreme moms and extreme feminists will argue that Esmeralda is a bad role-model because of how she danced for Frollo, also Esmeralda doesn't marry a prince. But yes...Mulan didn't marry a prince either. BUT Mulan is thêm an interesting character to see how she fought in war and saved all of China, Pocahontas is a part of history (but Disney changed it)....so....I mean that all of these Disney Princesses have something exciting, daring, and stories of morals to share.Esmeralda doesn't have a particular moral...

It does kinda bother me that she (and Megara) isn't apart of the line-up but I understand why she's not. Her movie didn't do very well and it's too mature for little kids anyway. And I guess I'd say that Mulan is closer to royalty than she is, Mulan's a war hero, Esmeralda's just a gypsy. Mulan may not be a princess but she's certainly not a commoner. I tình yêu Esmeralda and I think she's a great role model and I wish she could be an official princess but I'm very happy with the current line-up. I actually wrote an bài viết about her and Megara and why they're not princesses. Here it is...

I think it's simply because of her being a gypsy.There is still plenty of discrimination against gypsys in Châu Âu and the line would have bombed in there if she was added and Disney could not afford that since Châu Âu is a very big market.It could also be because the movie is too mature and religious.

Because she simply is not a princess. I tình yêu Esmerelda, tình yêu her movie, but she is not the daughter of a ruler. Nor does she marry a prince. These are the only ways one can become a princess. Frankly, I do no understand how Mulan is generally considered a Disney Princess, hoặc how Pocahontas and Megara are not.

I don't think the movie did so well, so maybe it was better than Pocahontas. But it wasn't thêm popular, if you're được ưa chuộng enough, bạn can be included (or thêm appealing to children). Come on now, being a princess has a little to do. If it had a lot to do, Mulan and Pocahontas wouldn't be included in the franchise, Gisele from Chuyện thần tiên ở New York would be included and vice versa.

It's simple, because her movie didn't do as well as the DP's. It makes me sad too, HoND is one of my favourite phim chiếu rạp and I've always wanted Esmeralda and Megara in the lineup. But Disney's a company that cares a a lot about money now. The line up is a cash cow, and they don't want to market girls the don't think will bring in a lot of money. Also, the lineup's got 10 girls now. That's a lot. With thêm princesses phim chiếu rạp in the making, a new lineup will probably be made.

I think it comes down to the fact that Esmeralda isn't the protagonist of her movie. Every other DP is, with the exception of Jasmine, who actually is a princess and whose film was (and still is) extremely popular.
Other than that, the fact that Esmeralda is involved in witchcraft might count against her too. There might be some controversy if she was added to a franchise targeted at little girls, and I don't think Disney would want that.

Because she is a character from a non-fairy tale book.The rest of them belongs to fairy tale stories.That is why they are Disney Princesses.

I think the reason is because she's not the main protagonist in her movie. ALL the official Disney princesses, whether they're "real" princesses hoặc not are the stars of their story, they're the main protagonists, Esmeralda's not. The movie isn't about her, it's about Quasimoto, and I think that's what technically "disqualifies" her as a Disney princess. And, like I think others mentioned, I don't think they just threw Mulan in there because she's Asian, she just so happens to be the only Disney princess that isn't actually a princess of some sort. But she IS the ngôi sao of her movie, which Esmeralda isn't. Same thing with Megara from Hercules, whio, historically, IS, in fact, a princess. She's just not the main character of her movie.

I jut want to get a few things cleared up.

1. Hunchback performed fine (it made thêm than Mulan, and a bit less than Pocahontas, though it got better reviews than the latter)
2. Being a princess and protagonist/hero has nothing to do with it. Mulan is not a princess, and she is included. Jasmien is not the protagonist, but she is in it (her and Esmeralda have about the same amount of a part in their phim chiếu rạp though)

The main reason is that Hunchback was not được ưa chuộng enough, and was not as marketable, compared to Pocahontas and Mulan (those two were thêm known) and were advertised more. She also does not cover a demographic. I think that she is also too sexy and adult for kids to relate to and like

Because she's better than them

Hunchback when it first came out wasn't a big success, and people didn't like it for its dark atmosphere and found it unsuitable for little kids. Disney nowadays seems to not like this movie much, hence why they don't market it as much as other films. I think cutting Esmeralda out of her line has less to do with her and thêm to do with her movie, since she represents the film in the DP line they probably don't want people bringing the film back up and have parents and Internet bloggers/hipsters complaining about how dark and problematic it is.

To be classed as a Disney princess, a character has to do one of three things, 1. Be born into royalty 2. Marry into royalty hoặc 3. Commit an act of great heroism (BTW, this is the real reason why Mulan is a Disney princess). Unfortunately, while I do tình yêu Esmeralda, she doesn't fill any of these requirements, so she can't be classed as a Disney princess.

Apparently, she WAS a Disney Princess. However, Disney eventualy decided to drop her tổng thể because of poor marketing (she seems to drastically have the lowest numbers in comparison to the other current members) and they realized that she was too mature for the franchise's targeted audience.
