Not sure if this is old news or not.

I guess Disney is finally giving the people what they want.

I'm pretty sure that many here knew this, but nice little pic there!

I guess they'll have to actually color the skin now instead of just leaving it white like the paper.

It is kind of sad that, well before the movie is coming out, that Maddy automatically will be a Disney Princess. What a slap in the face to Eilonwy and Kida (heck, even Wendy, Meg, and Jane would feel bad)! And, poor Pocahontas, Tinker Bell, Esmeralda, and Mulan- sometimes they seem to be part of the collection (they have dolls in the collection), but aren't really accepted as part of the collection. I'm sure I'll love Giselle and Maddy, but the other princesses (and heroines) must feel left out. I think they're left out. And don't even get me started on the animal ladies (Nala in particular).

How do you have an American Princess, in New Orleans?

It really depends on whether the movie is a flop or not (really hoping it doesn’t). If it isn't successful then they'll probably pretend she doesn't exist and lump her with the other "reject" (AKA the supposedly not popular) princesses.

I was just thinking that this morning! Didn't they already announce the fact that she'd be in the Princess Collection? Maybe their doing so much promotional work now so that, when the time comes, it can't be a flop. "Enchanted", which comes out soon, already has Princess Collection dolls made (including Patrick Dempsey's character)...I mean, I hope these 2 films do amazingly well, but it's a bit presumptous.

actually,mulan and pochaontas are official princesses and they part of the franchise.
tinkerbell used to be a princess but disney thougth that she dosn't fit in the franchise so they made disney fairies franchise for her insted.
esmeralda is the only one who isn't really accepted as a part of the franchise-she has dolls,zizlingers,she appear in the once upon a princess books and there was god help the outcasts in the little mermaid karaoke (i still don't understand why the put other disney princesses song in the little mermaid karaoke if there's 2 discs of disney princess karaokes) but she still really accepted as a part of the franchise.
