Embargo is usually lifted the same week the movie premieres.
I don’t think they’ll change the date. The trailer is supposed to play in front of the new Paw Patrol movie next week. It’ll still come online on Wednesday.

Is that link not working for anyone else?
It clearly says that the tweet was deleted
Sorry, I didn’t see that message. But I’ve heard since then that Disney confirmed the trailer is coming next Wednesday in a press release.

I wonder how long it’ll be before full-size dolls of the other Teens (not the mini ones we’ve already seen) are released. Actually, I have a feeling Disney will only release dolls of the Bashful-inspired Teen and the Happy-inspired Teen (and maybe the Grumpy-inspired Teen) because they might think dolls of the male Teens won’t sell very well. If that turns out to be the case, then I’m particularly looking forward to seeing what the doll of the Bashful-inspired Teen looks like because she’s my favorite Teen.

Some of you have probably noticed that the back of the box for the Teens mini dolls describes the Teens as “Asha’s quirky and diverse group of friends”, which has in turn probably set off alarm bells for some of you because it’s made you think “Oh no, Disney thinks these are amusing side characters but they’re really just annoying and underdeveloped and they’re bound to take too much of the focus off Asha” or “Oh no, Disney’s putting a woke rehash of the Seven Dwarfs in Wish”. But personally, I don’t think either of those things. I’m actually looking forward to seeing the Teens in the movie because they sound quite fun (to me, at least) and as I said in my previous post, the Bashful-inspired one is already my favorite. I think someone also said in one of their posts that “The Teens” is a stupid name, but what other name can they really have if that’s what they are? I know some of you won’t agree with me, but I just wanted to give you all my two cents on the situation.

Diverse friends doesn't mean their races, it also means their personalities and what they like, each of them has different passions (Dahlia cooking as we saw) so one can sing, the other dance, another architecture, another maths etc

I’m glad there’s someone else on this forum who doesn’t see the Teens as just members of different races.

This is our first post on the site. We have been following this site for a long time.

We are also excited for the release of the new trailer for Disney's Wish. We made a list showing the premiere dates of the trailers for the past Disney animated films starting with 2010's Tangled.
Thanks for the list! It's very helpful to predict when future trailers like the Wish one will arrive. And welcome to the forum! Great Youtube channel, by the way! It's a great resource for animation fans.

Maybe it’s just because her costume is more princess-y than Asha’s?
I was surprised the Queen had a doll too. The dress may be part of the reason, but I think she'll probably have an important role in the film as well. If her role was very small, I don't think she would get one.

I’m also excited to see them, mostly because I love ensemble characters :D Just because it says they’re diverse doesn’t mean their race will be the defining thing about them. Their group name, “The Teens”, is kinda :P but ehh…fine by me. And just like what I said in my last posts, their designs are really good, it’s the Dopey one that I’m a bit apprehensive about because he look funky and not in a good way :lol:
Favorite Things Right Now:
1. Kpop Demon Hunters (Movie)
2. Superman (Movie)
3. Devil In Disguise by Marino (Song)
4. The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Movie)
5. Monster Hunter Rise (Video Game)

I will definitely be buying a plush of the star character.
I know that Queen Elinor got dolls but I can't think of others at the moment... I love the Star plush, too!!

I'm confused- is the blond, skinny Teen a girl, guy, nonbinary? I can't tell...

He’s a guy and he’s based on Dopey.

I didn’t think about Queen Elinor but her role was really central to that movie. I was kinda expecting Queen Amaya to be in the movie as much as Rapunzel’s mom or Aurora’s mom. So I’m curious to see what her role in the movie is exactly.

Well, to give my opinion about the new pictures: I like the pictures of the dolls, especially of Asha and Queen Amaya. But I`m not too fond of Dahlia`s design. She looks like could`ve been a character from the Shrek franchise and therefore looks uncanny (despite how her doll is cute). Otherwise, I don`t mind the designs of the other characters from the book. However, the toy of the male character who`s tall and massive looks like a cousin of Kristoff and Bastion from Tangled.

Mattias from Frozen 2 had a doll too and he was not a very important character in the film.
They released also Ariel's sister dolls from the live action and they only appear 5 minutes in the movie.
I think that they Did an Amaya doll for fans. They now that they are going to buy her, she's not quite expensive to make

Well, Frozen II had many dolls of the secondary characters. Like King Agnarr, Queen Iduna, Honeymaren and Ryder. And Brave had a doll of Queen Ellinor.

Ariel sisters only exist in the movie to be made into merchandising, they had less than a minute of screentime

And Mattias from Frozen II had originally a song so his role was bigger

Thank you for pointing that out about the Frozen 2 characters (I’d argue Ariel’s sisters are a little different… they have had little screen time throughout the history of the franchise but there’s been lots of merch of them for years). So maybe Amaya’s doll doesn’t point to anything after all.

Speaking of Honeymaren, who else thinks the design of Asha’s dress is like hers, particularly the chest area?

I don't know if they count because it was quite a while back when both Disney and Mattel were different, but both Nakoma and Charlotte La Bouff had playline dolls as well. Also Dalia from the live-action Aladdin but that was Hasbro.

I hope Asha final princess dress is a beautiful kaftan, I just discovered that the moroccan kaftan was created in the Al Andalus (medieval Spain) like the movie (I checked because I was not sure if kaftans were created more recently)

Right now Asha outfit is really ugly but I'm sure her final dress will be beautiful, like all princesses (well Mirabel only has one outfit in the entire movie, even though she's not a princess she basically counts)
