Why aren't Esmeralda and Megara Disney Princesses

posted by JNTA1234

Disney Heriones

The two most maarufu Disney women outside of the DP franchise. These two exotic beauties are definitely shabiki vipendwa 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 zaidi 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 zaidi 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 upendo are both maarufu 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 kwa Disney's standards. They didn't do terrible kwa 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, jimmy, hunitumia 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 ubunifu 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 upendo and they're from different cultures. I truly don't understand why Disney won't acknowledge these strong and beautiful ladies. I upendo Esmeralda's sex appeal and I upendo Megara's deadpan snarker attitude. Maybe one siku 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.

Animaluco's inayopendelewa "I Want" songs

posted by Animaluco

I've already written makala on my inayopendelewa princesses and action scenes, and now the countdow is about the "I want" songs. That's one of my inayopendelewa moments in all DP movies. jimmy, hunitumia 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.

9. Snow White - "Someday my prince will come"

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...

Best DP eyes :)

I rate eyes based on how well they look, how they fit the face, what color they are, how they fit with the ujumla, jumla looks and so on... Plus this is my first makala :D
So lets start:

10. Cinderella
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"

9. Snow White
Her eyes are the best feature in her face. No wait her lashes are the best :D. Those light brown eyes are so pretty. Looks amazing...

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 zaidi than beauty standards the Disney Princesses represents. Because, when it comes down to it, we all know...

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, au a neat bun; it is pulled up, but looks ratty, like she slept on it, and her tiara looks tacky.

hujambo everybody! I saw a lot of makala on here about "pretty Disney princesses" and thought I would write one too. Keep in mind, this is just my opinion. If wewe disagree then do something productive, like write an makala yourself! Please no negative comments. Thanks(:

Belle
Belle is absolutely beautiful! Personally, Belle is my favorite. I think it's good that Disney made a princess that wasn't typical blonde haired-blue eyed (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Plus she has a beautiful moyo shaped face, mlozi shaped chokoleti brown eyes, and bow shaped lips. Also she's very kind,...

Okay, to explain. I did a countdown AND a orodha pick. Much zaidi people participated in the countdown (almost twice as much) but lists are still zaidi accurate. So I wrote for both. I will write about the countdown first, then list, for each respective ranking. Especially since I already started to write the makala for the countdown portion, I don't want it to go to waste. I'm sorry to include both results, but at the same time it's a good comparison to see the difference between countdowns and lists. I suggest wewe read countdown results first, than list.
