Re: What's wrong with Disney princesses?

[personal profile] cbrachyrhynchos 2017-12-22 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It's both a trope and a marketing brand created by Disney Consumer Products to sell stuff to girls in much of the same marketing space as Barbie and Bratz. The brand consists of eleven characters who are heavily used as stock characters in Disney tie-in products and get heavy marketing promotion. Generally speaking, they're all human, female, and with the exception of Pocahontas, have a signature dress. All of them except for Merida were created by a version of Disney Animation Studios. Most of them are fairy tale princesses and the "lead" character of the film they appear in.

Officially Princess: Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, and Merida.

Not Princesses: Maid Marian (anthro), Lilo and Nami (too young and not a title character), Captain Amelia (anthro), and Eilonwy (unprofitable), and no dalmations, cats, cars, fish, or cartoon-style characters such as Minnie Mouse.

Some of us joke about live-action characters being Disney Princesses(tm) because the Disney Princess(tm) brand is set of characters selected to sell shit to young girls by pandering to gender stereotypes. Also, there's a bit of black humor to be found in Disney becoming one of the megacorporations of an 80s cyberpunk dystopian future.
