I thought that was funny too! Like the movies came out after the character, and they only made the movie because she's popular!atlanticaunderthesea wrote:Disney Duster, in you article, it said "Ariel is the #1 Disney Princess". This little topic made me laugh so much!
On the Cinderella DVD site it said "Starring one of your favourite Disney Princessess", and on The Little Mermaid DVD site, it said "Starring your favourite Disney Princess!" Which I was really happy about, as I love Ariel. But by saying that, it makes it seem as if Disney Princessess just happen to star in movies, but they are mostly on products placements. Do you see what I mean?
Like, "Cinderlla has her own sweeties, clothes, CDs, and dolls line. And oh look! A movie as well!"
Makes me laugh
She also just seems to be more focused on, like in Disney On Ice presents Princess Classics. Every princess except her did their stories in short versions in the first act, and then the entire second act was Cinderella's story! But now in the new Princess Wishes ice show, Ariel seems to be the center of attention. It looks to me like Disney thought Cinderella was #1, then found out how popular Ariel was and they shifted the focus from Cinderella to Ariel. That's my two cents.
I feel like, "Why can't they release new artwork? Would that kill them? Or have lesser used Princesses, instead of almost always using Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, Snow White. Use Jasmine or Ariel instead! But, with each platinum release, we get the focus put on whichever Princess it may be. So this year, Cinderella took a backseat, and Ariel came into prominance. The biggest example is the ice shows, last year Cindy, this year Ariel. 
I'm looking for a specific site which I came upon about a month ago. It has all sorts of Disney news, I think it has a light brown background. It has thousands of screen captures from different Disney movies. "The Little Mermaid" has about 700 high-quality caps from the PE assorted 100 caps a page. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?Actually no, but thanks. That one had screen caps from the PE while this one has the fever-of-fate LE caps... I'll keep looking for it though...TheSequelofDisney wrote:could this be it: http://animationarchive.net/
It's because they legs and pretty dresses in place of Ariel's fins and seashell bra. Sure, Ariel can wear dresses, too, but the fishtail is what makes her iconic. Just like Cinderella's silver (or blue?atlanticaunderthesea wrote:It would be wonderful if she was the most popular, but she isn't one of the Princesses that gets used al the time. They are Belle, Aurora and Cinderella. I just wonder why they are always used.
) dress makes her instantly recognized.
um yeah I just wanted say that your rude remarks are starting to get really annoying...so it would be nice if you stopped them, if you want to debate about your reasons on why you hate the little mermaid so much then thats cool, but saying things like that arent necessary in any discussion. Sorry to be a jerk about it.Timon/Pumbaa fan wrote:Sorry to hear you were on the naughty list this year.Teen Artist wrote:I finally got TLM for Christmas!!!
and yeah..maybe they do need to equalize the use of the Disney Princesses.From the obvious reasons: the princess who preceded Ariel was Aurora 30 years earlier. Aside from the fact that SB was a miserable flop upon its release and Aurora an unappealing character with the public, I don't think cartoon characters were merchandised and sold as toys and plushes at Disney stores and McDonald's. Or am I wrong?atlanticaunderthesea wrote:I'm sure I read somewhere in an official Disney book, that Ariel was "the first immediatly popular Disney heroine" which is cool. I wonder why??

I know you dont like TLM and I respect that. I dont like it, but I respect that. I just dont see why you have to bash this movie at every available moment.Timon/Pumbaa fan wrote:Sorry to hear you were on the naughty list this year.Teen Artist wrote:I finally got TLM for Christmas!!!
well,both ariel and cinderella are the most favorite princesss so they said that only on them and not on belle or snow white.atlanticaunderthesea wrote:Disney Duster, you know what? I was kinda suprised when Ariel was claimed to be the #1 Princess. Sure, she had a lot of products, (mainly in the Summer), but Cinderella always seemed to be EVERYWHERE.
But, Cinderella will be back with Twist in Time in Feb, and her products will take prominace again. I noticed the press release as well; Cinderella is now #1!
(it was ordered off Amazon). I guess maybe tomorrow I'll call Disney's Customer Service and see if they're willing to give me one. I've only called them once before and that was for a slipcover for Beauty and the Beast.
