Why aren't Esmeralda and Megara Disney Princesses

posted by JNTA1234

Disney Heriones

The two most beliebt Disney women outside of the DP franchise. These two exotic beauties are definitely Fan Favoriten 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 Mehr 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 Mehr 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 Liebe are both beliebt songs.
-Both women are great role Models 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 Von Disney's standards. They didn't do terrible Von any means but in comparison to The Lion King and Aladin it's pretty bad.
-Neither of them are the main character in their movies. Let's be honest here, jasmin 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 Design 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 Liebe and they're from different cultures. I truly don't understand why Disney won't acknowledge these strong and beautiful ladies. I Liebe Esmeralda's sex appeal and I Liebe Megara's deadpan snarker attitude. Maybe one Tag 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.

The Most Beautiful Disney Princess

posted by purplerose17

"Last place?! Oh no you didn't!"

So... It's been a couple of weeks since I've written an article. All of the Disney Princesses are beautiful, just some of them are Mehr so.

13. Jasmine
She's beautiful in an exotic way. I Liebe her skin color and her thick, glossy hair. However, her figure is a little too unrealistic and her eyes can look weird.

12. Ariel
She's also very pretty, but she's drawn a little too cartoony for my tastes. Her hair can look really beautiful at times, and I Liebe her eyes. Her hair can sometimes be too bright, and she's way skinny.

11. Mulan
She's beautiful, but a little plain. I like how they drew her to look...

STOP the drama!

posted by Frozenswift

Hey guys! I've seen drama in the club, especially in the Umfrage and just have enough of it. Du see, drama is mean and it just makes everything seem crazy. Everyone has their opinion and Du should respect that.

When people pick another opinion than yours, Du get angry and tells him/her to pick your opinion! In the LEAST Favorit polls, Du shouldn't be like "LEAVE NOW" to the other picks because some people like that pick

Like I just said, Opinions are only someone's thought, and some people agree

My Original Thoughts
When I first watched Frozen, in late November, I loved Elsa.. Mehr than Anna. I loved her message, her relatability, everything! She was a new type of girl to the lineup. She was completely different from everyone else, and I loved her! She was in my oben, nach oben three forever. She took a slip oder two to my oben, nach oben five, but she never graced out....

Why The Disney Princesses Are Emotionally Strong

posted by dclairmont

I held this same countdown not too long Vor and I really wanted to chime in with my own opinion on the matter. I think all of the princesses Zeigen at least some strength emotionally, so I decided I couldn't rank them! Anyways I hope Du enjoy Lesen this! Also, my definition of emotional strength might be different from your own. After Lesen some of the descriptions in people's Liste for the countdown I realized that not everyone has a similar definition. ((the princesses are in a totally Zufällig order, sorry that this Artikel is such a mess...))

Jasmine's emotional strength is underrated....

posted by MissAngelPaws

I did a countdown about the most developed DPs, and now here are the results. Sorry for the delay! I've been very busy lately. I'd just like to thank everyone who participated in this countdown and left a comment. Anyways here are the results.

13. Aurora

Comments:
MacytheStrange - None of the Classics developed. A reason why they're my least Favorit Era as a whole.
Silverrose1991 - Even if they're my Favorit era, the Classic Princesses don't have any character development.

12. Snow White

Comments:
324anna: Snow White doesn't change at all during the movie, she remains the same.

Ariel hate is out of hand

posted by RoseOfRapunzel

Guilty, I'll say. I was a user who baffled Ariel with hate. I could see many flaws with her because a lot of people were pointing them out, but now I see she's just underrated. True, I still think Merida has a much better personality Von comparison, but Ariel is gaining so much hate, it's starting to make me want to come to her defense.
Ariel is pretty guilty to my calculations, she was forbidden to go out to surface and showed up to her konzert while everyone depended on her. Ariel did wrong things, but she does have some good points.

When Triton turned into that thingy near the end of...
