Anna & Elsa to Join the Disney Princess Line

[Lady Cluck]

GIVE ME A BREAK! SEVEN white princesses in one box? Giving the impression that white (and blonde, typically) is prettier

Oh, for crying out loud: Rapunzel was the first blonde Princess (Let's not count Elionwy) since 1959! Can people stop saying that "All Princesses are blonde" crap?!

Right now in the line up-

RED HAIR: 2
BLONDE HAIR: 5 (Elsa???)
BRUNETTE: 2 (Counting Rapunzel)
BLACK HAIR: 5 (Moana in 3-4 years will be 6)

So, there are as much black hairs as blonde. If Angelina from Giants is blonde, then yes: Go, complain.

Ummm, but none of those "black hairs" are in that box as you can see. That's the point They're virtually ignored in everything. The line is getting overcrowded, so Merida and Rapunzel need to be beheaded because they're already becoming more and more irrelevant now. I'd prefer Aurora but she's not going anywhere since she's one of Walt's precious princesses. Rapunzel does not count as a brunette for the Princess line either

Even if then, 5 blondes is too much.

I refuse to believe Elsa is a blond though. White hair or delete her, man.

Agree

Uhm judging by her parents and Anna, if Elsa lost her powers she'll be strawberry or chocolate brunette.

I thought it was stated somewhere by one of the directors that had Elsa not been born with her powers, she would have been a brunette just like her mother.

Agree

Me too. That said, I really hope that Giants' Angelina (or the next princess after Moana if there will be one) is a brunette! It sounds like Giants will be in Italy, so I think she should be a brunette.

[thedisneyspirit]

And it's kinda dumb to only have Snow White as the dark-haired white girl. What, white girls can only be blondes or redheads? When in fact dark hair is the most common hair color. Oh Disney...

[Elladorine]

What about Princess Nancy?

[unprincess]

so Elsa is supposed to have white hair? she looks more like a platinum blonde to me...

“We’re still kicking around ideas, but I can tell you that if we dip back into the princess well, the main character will be thin, pretty, and white—that much we’re sure of,” said Iger, stressing that Disney’s executive board had given writers the green light to “revert to the basics” on this one. “We don’t have to do any of that Princess And The Frog garbage for a while. We did Pocahontas, we did Mulan, so we’re all set for diversity right now. Audiences can expect a real porcelain-skinned one with disproportionately large blue eyes and a waist so small it couldn’t possibly contain functioning organs.”

I knew it had to be fake!

The sad part is I wouldn't be that surprised if something like that were actually said behind-the-scenes out of earshot in boardrooms and the like.

Oooo I loved Rapunzels outfit in the top right picture, very pretty!

The picture of Anna and Elsa is from their meet and greet point in Disney Land I think, for when they're in Fairytale Hall ?

[Disney's Divinity]

The drawings of all those 3D characters is hideous.

[Atlantica]

I wonder if Anna and Elsa will ever be separated ? Like, have a meet and greet on their own, or anything like that ? Have their own adventure stories etc … ?

[sunhuntin]

does pascal have eyelashes in that pic?

I really hate it whenever I see this kind of marketing in the stores for these movies. Disney, you know you don't really care about 2D animation, because if you did Frozen would have been a 2D movie, so please don't insult me by pretending that these are 2D films. If they were truly being honest to kids, all their merchandise artwork for these movies would always be CGI, because that's what these movies really are.

As I'm sure you may have guessed, I'm not pleased with these characters being introduced into the Disney Princess line. I wasn't pleased when Tangled was either.

Why not? They're Disney, they're princesses. I don't see the problem. And you guys need to stop saying "Disney hates hand-drawn!!" ( I swear, a certain thread in this forum has made me hate the term "hand-drawn"). Animation is just going through a fad because all animated hits for years have been CG. I get it, they're not giving 2D the chance it deserves, but there is absolutely not a one person in the world that would get a job at Disney because they hated 2D so much they had to get a job as a decoy, get to CEO and executive to destroy it muahhaha. It's just for a while, guys. By the way, I am almost %100 sure that Walt himself would love CG animation because he always liked doing things in the most modern way possible. I live for hand-drawn animation, I love it so much more than CGI and I would love more than anything for it to come back; I used to have very similar opinions to yours. But to even hint at an anti-hand-drawn conspiracy is just silly. It'll come back. And Rapunzel, Anna, and even Elsa deserve to be Disney Princess as much as Aurora and Mulan.


I love the 2D versions of Anna and Elsa, much more than I liked Rapunzel and Merida (I didn't hate 2D Merida at all though, I don't understand why most people did) and I want to see more of it already. Can't wait to see how they deal with Frozen in the line.

Fixed. >>;

Anyway, I've always thought the mixture of the 3D and 2D characters was incredibly stupid, but I'd rather look at 3D clipart next to 2D clipart than these awful drawings.

That's fine. I'm trying to control my obsession of it this time.
