To be fair, I can kind of understand why they'd leave out Mulan and Pocahontas in a princesses list since neither of them are actually princesses (neither of them were born princesses, nor married a prince). There are plenty of other leading female characters that they leave out too because they're not princesses.

Not sure about this, though. Wasn't Pocahontas a chief's daughter? Meaning she was basically the equivalent of a princess?

The Powhattan tribe was a democracy, so she'd be more like a first kid.

If I recall the history correctly, she was understood as a princess by the Europeans -- at one point she was received by some European royalty, while her non-royal European husband had to wait outside.

Okay, actually, I'm sure that's what the thing I read said. I don't know whether the thing I read was accurate.

Augh, I had a whole reply written out but the computer ate it. Basically, yes, she was received in England as a 'princess,' but this was a claim put forth solely by the venture's backers in an attempt to drum up interest and support. The Powhatan tribal system wasn't really a democracy, but a complex chiefdom. Basically, the children of a current chief, even the paramount chief like her father, didn't have any kind of status, because power passed down the line within the same generation, instead of a successional system. So his brother inherited his power, not his children.

It has nothing to do with whether they're princesses or not and everything to do with the fact that they don't consider them as popular as the rest of the girls.

Mulan and Pocahontas are part of the official princess line. They just choose not to feature them as often because they deem them not as popular as the rest of the girls, which is a shame and which is honestly... kind of untrue in some cases.

Esmeralda, Jane, Megara, Kida, etc., despite their awesomeness and despite the fact that they deserve to be merchandised, are not part of the princess line.
