Tell that to Disney. She's part of the Disney Princess line-up, making her a Disney Princess.

I'm a little surprised someone on FS didn't know this :/

not everyone is american and not everyone plays with fugly dolls (or knows people who play with them) :\

(Anonymous) 2012-06-19 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
what? what does her being american got to do with anything? or with dolls? or is this an attempt at a comeback?

(Anonymous) 2012-06-20 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
who do you mean by her?

I'm making a point that not everyone who watches disney movies are american. people in other countries, especially non-english speaking countries, are unlikely to know that "Disney Princess" refers to specific female characters. for them, mulan is just another girl from a disney film, no different from belle in "beauty and the beast" or esmeralda in "hunchback of notre dame".

unless they are familiar with dolls, sing-along videos and other girls' products from "the Disney Princess line-up", all the merchandise are just more "disney tie-in toys".

does this answer all your questions?

(Anonymous) 2012-06-21 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
then what was with the snotty attitude? you were insinuating that she was just some american who plays with "fugly" dolls.

tbh, i was also surprised that there was one person on here who didn't know that mulan wasn't considered a dp. she's been one since the line for awhile now, and this isn't the first time we've had secrets about the princesses, and how mulan would always come up.

disney movies are VERY popular around the world, especially in japan. they have disney stores in canada, denmark, the uk, ireland, france, spain, italy, portugal, belgium, australia and japan, and they all carry the dp line. on the store sites, you have to click "disney princess" to get to the mulan merchandise.

please do little more research before making unfounded assumptions and denying facts/

and if you don't want to, then why comment in this thread?

(Anonymous) 2012-06-24 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
you still haven't said who she is. and I never said a specific person is 'some american who plays with "fugly" dolls'. why are you so defensive?

thanks for letting me know everyone has to be a long time member of fs and everyone must have photographic memory and remember every single disney princess secret and mulan discussion

disney movies are very popular, I'm not disputing that. however, there are no disney stores in south america, africa or oceania. half the world doesn't have disney stores. and the ones in australia closed almost ten years ago. maybe you should do better research yourself? plus, japan and hongkong are the only asian "countries" with disney stores. two out of over fourty countries. that sure covers a lot of asia, doesn't it?

and did you know that the online disney store does not ship to india, home of one sixth of the entire world's population? in fact, the disney store does not ship to over 60 countries. that's a third of all the countries in the world. how would people in these countries know to visit a website that is likely in a foreign language they don't understand and look for a specific merchandise they will not receive?

tl;dr
available on internet =/= accessibility
north america+europe+japan+hong kong =/= the world
disney and disney merchandise has a long reach, but not that long

and please stop telling others to do more research say they are making unfounded assumptions and denying facts before doing better research yourself

also, there are disney parks all over the world. there is one in japan, paris, hong kong, and they are working on one in Shanghai, so I don't think you need to worry about non-english people not knowing about the disney princesses.

don't assume that they don't know about who is in the disney princess line-up. disney movies are in theaters around the world, and if they are fans, then I highly doubt they don't know about the disney princess line-up.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-24 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah there is a park in paris and two parks in asia but most asian countries (like, 90%) need a visa to visit japan and half need visas to go to hong kong (that park only opened seven years ago btw). and then there are several continents - south america, africa, oceania - that have no disney parks at all. plus, international flights are expensive. disney parks are really not all that accessible, tbh.

I don't doubt they don't know about the disney princess line-up, but don't assume they know the exact members in the line-up.

nope, not at all :)

If you don't watch the movies, why comment?

If you watch the movies, you don't get to play the ignorant card. You know what's in them.

I don't watch Bollywood films and don't know the tropes, so I don't comment on them. Easy peasy.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-24 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
gosh I watch the movies but none of them have a "this is a disney princess movie" stamp

what is the difference between mulan and beauty? this is not a trope, it is a marketing decision
