Raya and Merida aren't there too. I don't see Merida too much lately :s

I love how Pocahontas looks in the calendar. The artwork is really beautiful.

Loving these new pics, too. The ones with the animal sidekicks especially. I’ll always stan Meeko.

The 2026 calendar is really pretty, I just wish there were more scenes of the girls interacting.

What seems weird to me is that they only included one of the three classical princess on it. I love all the Princesses that appears on it but SW and Aurora are one of my favorites and I love to see them in merchandise.

Those were adorable, though I couldn't help but notice how none of Walt's princesses were featured. Feels like a bit of an oversight.

Props to these guys for keeping it real

In Disneyland Paris all the princesses are in the main park during this week. Pocahontas is never in the park and it's the first time that Raya appears (or at least I think so) so it's a great chance to have a photo with all of them.

This was really sweet. I also love seeing Auli'i alongside Paige and Jodi. Generations of heroines.

I think this is from a concert that was held at Disneyland for World Princess Week, which I also think is now on Disney+? Or about to be?

I love seeing Paige especially, because she doesn’t perform as much as the other ladies… but man oh, man, does she still have it.

I'm glad that they still having the license but they should increase the quality. The face molds are great but they use polypropylene for the hair, sculpted bodices and the faces sometimes are pixelated. The collector line is not bad at all, some of them have the quality that play line dolls had 10 years ago but despite of that they are all right and sometimes you can get them with a huge discount if you are patient enough.

Wow. It`s remarkable to see Mulan with Little Brother. As her other animal sidekicks like Mushu, Khan and Cri-Kee are more promoted and featured, it was very noteworthy to see Little Brother being with her for once. But it was still a beautiful picture.

Love the artwork on that calendar posted upthread. The choice of characters is pretty random. I don't think it was about popularity or era of the characters, since they excluded Belle, Anna, Elsa, Tiana who are more popular than some there (and then there's Merida, who probably isn't, but still another newer character).

I do wonder why they're keeping Merida in the line now they're excluding characters because the line is becoming bloated. Mirabel, Anna, Elsa are locks in the future, not including any future character that may take off. Merida is one of the least popular and you have other characters that fit boxes she fills (red hair--they have the much more popular Ariel, and could even bring in Anastasia who would likely be above her in popularity if given the chance, too; and they have characters that can do things in the vein of archery, like Mulan or Elsa). Come to think of it, Anastasia generally feels like a better-fittimg Merida as far as being from a film with a locale different than others they've done (Russia v. Ireland) while being more popular and having the outfits and songs that would fit with the way they merch the characters. Merida always felt at odds with the line, especially considering the way Brenda Chapman viewed those other characters versus Merida.
