Maybe because her movie flopped? Then again, so did Raya's and they included her.

Re: Disney Princesses Got a Makeover
I was wondering about Asha, too. I wondered if her film was so hated they didn't want to include her. I actually liked Wish but I didn't love it.

Well, I don`t want to sound condescending. But at least Raya was (somewhat) a Princess, for being a daughter of a Chief, unlike Asha.
Okay. Why?

"Raya" at least has the pandemic as a cover to account for its box office, though I also think "Raya" was a much better film (even if I don't think she really belongs in the princess line either and will probably be phased out as time goes on).

I like magic and the film was a lot about that, and I liked some of the songs, and I liked the animation style.

Maybe because the franchise is over saturated of characters and they don't want to include more princesses that don't sell great. Including Raya was a big mistake so maybe in the future they'll tink more about including new princesses in the franchise.

Re: Disney Princesses Got a Makeover
Well, all in all I liked Wish. I liked the songs and score, the character designs and the voice acting. However, the movie was not without it`s flaws: The comedy was awful, the visual style was a mixed bag, the Disney references were tacky and for all the hoopla of Magnifico being a return to the traditional Disney villain, he was just a passable one. Besides, Asha was essentially a protagonist in a story that wasn`t about her own wants or needs. She simply was active in a plot that could`ve served well without her. So while Wish was a good movie, it was still overall a very flawed one.Disney Duster wrote: ↑Tue Nov 04, 2025 10:21 pmI like magic and the film was a lot about that, and I liked some of the songs, and I liked the animation style.
Perhaps. But frankly, I think Raya deserved to be in the franchise. For being an actual Princess (sort of). Frankly, if there`s one Princess who should`ve been discarded from the lineup, it should`ve been Merida. Due to her being a Pixar character and for purpose to be an anti-Princess in every sense (despite how it was mandatory that she actually became included in the lineup, due to how Disney were more synonymous with Princesses a decade ago and deliberately made Princesses to be included in the lineup).Thumper_93 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 05, 2025 10:59 amMaybe because the franchise is over saturated of characters and they don't want to include more princesses that don't sell great.
