I feel that way about Meg, who actually was Disney.

Meg is not a princess, she's the partner of a demigod.

And Mulan was...?

A high-ranking noblewoman, so it's close enough.

I believe Meg's not included because she's a bit too mature. She has sex appeal and uses it and Hercules was not her first true love. Being betrayed by the man you love and finding your trust in love again, that's not a girl topic.
She doesn't fit the theme. I don't think it has anything to do with semantics and quite honestly I think your argument is weak. I don't think Disney Princess chooses them for their storyline, but for their marketing value.

The only real 'theme' of Disney Princesses is 'Disney female character that can be stuffed into a fancy dress.' Also, they needed to diversify a bit more - there's already half a dozen white princesses, so why stretch to include one more that doesn't really fit the bill and doesn't have any good wardrobe choices? You're getting a bit too abstract with the "she's too mature" thing - Jasmine's on there, and she made out with Jafar.

PPPPPPFFF

Being betrayed by the man you love and finding your trust in love again, that's not a girl topic.

....and Rapunzel and Flynn is? (ok, he din't actually do it but she thought he did, and he did think about it a few times too).

Makerting value... in Disney from all places? Oh dear lord, help us!

you have to be kidding.

I'm pretty sure Meg's not included because the film didn't do as well as Disney would have liked.

I actually agree with you. I can see this.

She's not included because Disney didn't consider Hercules popular enough. That's all there is to it.

Yep.

Also was accepted to become a princess (marrying the son of the chinese ruler in the 2nd movie), that didn't happen but...

I get the feeling Meg isn't included because she's not a "token princess". Mulan and Hercules were generally on the same level of popularity, but Mulan is Asian, so Disney can throw Mulan with the "princesses" so the Asian kids will feel included.

Poor greek kids D:

Mulan was most certainly more popular than Hercules.

u kiddin? mulan was a commoner >:(

No she wasn't. She was the daughter of a war hero. Her family was not royalty, but they were wealthy.

She had a nice house and her father was famous enough to be known by the royal court - I'd say they were pretty well off.

Haha, yeah I really don't see the "princess" label as forcing semantics.

Kinda funny, since she was actually supposed to be a princess in the myths. Of course then Hera made Heracles (Hercules) go bonkers and kill her and their children, but...

Despite what the others are saying, the only common theme between the Princesses is "their movies did really well". Pocahontas is the real stand-out exception, but I believe she was included for racial diversity reasons. Somewhat similar, but to a lesser degree, with Mulan. Hence, they're not really in the merch.

Hercules didn't actually do that well. And...well, it is true Megara is a bit mature compared to the other girls. But I believe Pocahontas is as well, so it's not that much of a problem.

Pocahontas actually did quite well. Not compared to its predecessor, The Lion King, but it was a huge hit merchandise wise and a decent sized hit at the box office. Pocahontas was MASSIVELY popular among girls in 95/96.

Mulan did not do as well as Pocahontas merchandise wise or box office wise, but over time she seems to have become a bit more popular?

That's true. Oh, marketing.

Meg should only be included if Jane Porter, Esmeralda, and Kida are.

Imo.

No objection here. I just think of Meg first 'cause she's my favorite.
