That is some lovely art.

I'm crossing my fingers, OP! A Polynesian princess would be cool.

[(Anonymous)]

So long as they handle it better than Pocahontas...

[(Anonymous)]

What about Lilo and Stitch.

[(Anonymous)]

Lilo is no princess. I don't even think she'd pretend to be one.

I love that little girl.

[(Anonymous)]

No princesses, I guess? (I don't care, Lilo is so awesome and her movie had aliens, so there!)

[(Anonymous)]

Lilo isn't included in the "Disney Princess" lineup.

[spacebabie]

1. Lilo and Nani are not Princesses so they don't matter :::rolls eyes at Disney:::

2.Why can't there be more than one Disney movie with Polynesian characters?

[iggy]

If Moana's premise does end up being what we know, it is going to be so flipping cool.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed, I would love to see some different mythology!

[(Anonymous)]

I agree it would be awesome to have a polynesian princess, but never underestimate disney's capacity to make things boring.

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, this!

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, just look at Frozen

[(Anonymous)]

Not if they did what they did to the Snow Queen and took out everything from the original tale that made it so awesome.

[feotakahari]

I'm not really sure what they could have kept of the good parts. You can write stuff based on ancient myths and not have a controversy, but if you try to write something based on contemporary religions your audience is familiar with, and your audience doesn't consist solely of believers in that religion, a controversy will magically appear no matter how you try to spin it. Everything really interesting in The Snow Queen relates back to Christianity, and Disney is neither the type of company that courts controversy nor the type of company that would make a movie solely marketed to Christians. Anything they make that's Christian-derived is at the very least toned way the hell down*, and I think that's the right move for them.

* They were able to make The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but there's surprisingly less explicit religion in their version than you'd expect. The closest it really comes is Frollo's villain song--for the rest of it, Christianity is just a backdrop, its morals and ideas stated in vague, general ways that would fit a variety of faiths.

[tabaqui]

Is this art some kind of 'here's what we might do' thing? Or something completely unrelated? Because it is *awesome*.

And yes - it would be nice to have some more diverse princesses.

[diet_poison]

That would be super cool, anon!

[(Anonymous)]

I want this now. <3

[lynx]

I want it :( And that art looks super cool.

But I just don't trust on Disney to not make it awful.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I really hope they follow through on it.

[gabzillaz]

This has the potential to be amazing

[(Anonymous)]

That concept art alone makes me want this movie. I know nothing about Princess Moana and I already want her. Get to it, Disney!

[chardmonster]

I love all the idiots who don't think shit matters unless it's princesses. Not the OP, a Polynesian story would be awesome, just that half the people on my dash are obsessed with Princess Representation.

"I wish we had a DISNEY PRINCESS who blah blah blah blah blah"

Yes, please, let's get some more diversity in our regressive shit. No, don't make some cool female protagonists who aren't princesses! That's lame!

In fact, let's start referring to MULAN as a princess because Disney needed an asian princess!

HEY LET'S STICK LILO IN A FRILLYER DRESS SHE'S A PRINCESS NOW LOOK EVERYTHING'S BETTER

I AM A FEMINIST AND I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT LITTLE GIRLS HAVE MORE ROLE MODELS WHO ARE ALSO PRINCESSES BECAUSE LITTLE GIRLS ONLY LOOK UP TO PRINCESSES IT ARE A FACT

I AM A GROWN WOMAN WHO IS VERY VERY CONCERNED WITH PRINCESSES OKAY

[(Anonymous)]

They'll fuck it up somehow. They'll either do something that will offend Polynesians and the SJWarriors will go apeshit (especially those that don't know shit about Polynesian culture) or they'll make some ultra-PC piece of dreck that ends up being even more insulting (I.E. The Princess and the Frog Boyfriend Who Can't Be Black in a World Where Racism Doesn't Exist Because We're Too Scared to Address It.)

Sometimes you DON'T want to be represented. Not unless you can represent yourself. Be careful what you wish upon a star for. You have been warned.

Secret 3 - Disney, Princess Moana (possible future animated film?)

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is a painting in a cartoony style showing a woman with long dark hair with blue highlights, olive skin and a short light dress or fabric kicking back and laughing on a rock in the middle of a lake surrounded by palm trees (or trees that sort of look like that), with various carved statues in a Polynesian style (They seem like stylized cylindrical people).]

I would give anything for a Polynesian version of a Disney Princess. There is so much mythology and stories to work with that there's no way this movie would be boring. I really hope the talk of Princess Moana isn't just a rumor.
