My God, I'm late replying. Hope you're still around to read this, lol.Sotiris wrote:I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I'm actually against having the princesses interact. It's one thing when they did so in Ralph Breaks the Internet, those were merely digital avatars who lived in Oh My Disney, it's another when they're supposed to be the "real" princesses from their respective films. I understand this is something that was brought upon by the popularity of the "Comfy Squad", but I'd rather have any intermingling contained in that offshoot of the DP franchise than bring it over to the main one. To me, taking characters from different eras and regions and have them crossover is a bigger sell-out and a violation of their integrity than giving them new outfits, hairstyles or accessories. This is also something that Roy E. Disney fought hard against and undoing it would be disrespectful to his wishes. I hope this is something only done for the Ultimate Princess Celebration and won't be a permanent change to the franchise.
Like others, I find myself in a situation where I completely understand why you feel that way, but in the end I don't think that the princesses interacting is a bad thing. While, as you pointed out, in RBtI they were merely digital avatars, I personally do not see the princesses of Disney Princess line as the "real" princesses either. They are part of a line of merchandise, and for that reason I would not apply "movie rules" to them. Furthermore, as BrollieFish put it, these interactions - implausible as they may be within the world of each movie given the differing time periods (not to mention different universes) - are bringing out the princesses' sorely missed personalities once again.
I will have to research Roy Disney's involvement with the Disney Princess line. I had no idea he had anything to do with it!
