Disney Princess is a media franchise owned by The Walt Disney Company, created by Disney Consumer Products President Andy Mooney in the late 1990s, including a lineup of fictional female characters who have appeared in several Disney animated films. The franchise currently contains thirteen characters in its lineup, from twelve Walt Disney Animation Studios films and one Pixar film, who are royalty by birth, marriage or are considered princesses due to their heroic acts in their films. In its beginnings, the franchise was composed of a wide variety of characters, who were withdrawn, because of unpopularity or because they were too young.

Originally, the franchise consisted of Snow White, Cinderella, Tinker Bell, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Esmeralda and Mulan (Over time Tinker Bell and Esmeralda left). They are called by fans as "The Classic Princesses" or "The Original Eight Princesses".

Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Moana and Raya were recently added, due to the great popularity of their films, being called by fans as "The New Generation of Princesses".

The franchise is featured in several video game series. Additionally, the franchise includes dolls, miniature castles, and other toys. The princesses are also at various events in Disneyland;

Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Moana and Raya are the only princesses who do not receive changes to their appearance and clothes (with the exception of glitter), as the original eight have new designs, and the most recent ones have 2D versions.

With the popularity of Frozen, Disney was planning to add Elsa and Anna to the franchise, however they were too popular, so they decided that they should have their own franchise, Frozen. However, Disney realized that even so, children always talked about Anna and Elsa as if they were Disney princesses, so Disney decided to create a group called Honorary Official Princesses, where all the girls who were popular, had their own franchise and would become If they fit the rules of being a princess, they would be part of the group.

However, the characters that are part of the Honorary Official Princesses group are Elsa, Anna, Elena and Mirabel. These characters, although not Disney Princess, can be found in videos, images, in the parks and on many other products, alongside the Official Disney Princesses.

History

1996 — 1999: Antecedent

Produtos 90

Products launched in the 1990s.

In 1996, before the creation of the franchise, Disney put several products on the market that still did not carry the official brand of the franchise, but used the theme "Princess", among them; VHS's, records, dolls, among others.

In 1998, Disney created the Disney Princesses magazine, and featured several female characters illustrating the electronic magazine. On November 9, the magazine dropped some characters, and announced Jane Porter as a new member of the "franchise", speculating that the line actually may have appeared before 2000, as was an official announcement made by Disney. The franchise officially launched on the Disney Store in 1999 along with its male counterpart, Disney Heroes.

2000 — 2001: Criação

In early 2000, when Andy Mooney was hired by the Disney Consumer Products team to help combat slumping sales, the 'Disney Princess' line was born. Shortly after joining Disney, Mooney saw a "Disney On Ice". As he waited to enter, he found himself surrounded by girls dressed as princesses. "These weren't official Disney products, they were products sold in fancy stores," he said. Soon after realizing how well the idea could work, the Disney Princess franchise was formed.

The original lineup of the franchise consisted of: Snow White, Cinderella, Tinkerbell, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Esmeralda, Jane Porter and Mulan. Jane Porter was excluded from the franchise, still in 2000, because executives could not put her along with the other princesses in products, as her outfit was too different for a “princess”.

In 2000, Mattel won an exclusive license to launch a line of dolls from the franchise throughout North America and Latin America, while Simba Toys received this license throughout Europe.

At the end of 2000, the franchise received a new logo, abandoning the old style of the franchise, and generating a new style guide.

In 2001, Playmates Toys launched the My Interactive Princess line of dolls, featuring Disney Princesses as children.

2002 — 2006: Development and popularity

In 2002, the franchise became more popular, and its products spread across the world. The official magazine received a makeover, this time with the franchise's logo at the top, and the main Princesses, such as Snow White, Cinderella or Ariel, made more appearances in the magazine.

In 2003, a simpler logo was introduced, although its style guide remained the same. The Princesses gained a lineup of Disneyland pins, including characters such as Alice and Jane Porter, who were not members of the franchise at that point.

In 2004, Disney decided to permanently remove Esmeralda and Tinkerbell from the franchise, as they did not fit into the mythology of the franchise. By 2006, Disney Princess had grown to become Disney's most popular brand, surpassing Winnie the Pooh and the company's iconic mascot, Mickey Mouse. Six years ago, Princesses brought in $100 million in sales. Disney Princess products were already sold in 90 countries, having received 3.4 billion dollars since its launch.

On April 5, 2006, a store called Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique opened at Walt Disney World in Downtown Disney, where official merchandise from the franchise is sold, and girls can become princesses, with a beauty treatment.

In late 2006, the Disney Princess Enchanted Tales franchise was launched, where the six original Princesses had their clothes changed to pastel and silver tones, with stones all over their clothing.

2007 — 2008: Changes

In 2007, the franchise received overhauls. Disney Princess Enchanted Tales has been modified, giving golden clothes to the Princesses.

In late 2007, it was planned that a new character from the film Enchanted, Princess Giselle, played by Amy Adams, would be added to the franchise. On this occasion, the 2007 collection was called "The Season of Magic''. After announcing Giselle's arrival in the franchise, she was added to the Official Disney Princess Website, and was also added as a Disney Princess to the Disney Vault website.

On February 20, 2007 the new line of Disney Princess Enchanted Tales products, and the dolls from the Disney Princess Giselle line were unveiled at the Toy Fair. However, before Giselle's dolls were officially sold in stores, Disney gave up on the idea, as it was unable to enter into an agreement to use the image of Amy Adams, the actress who plays the character.

As of 2008, Disney Princess magazine has been translated into 27 languages ​​and published in 72 countries, selling over 14.6 million copies. In the same year, the franchise receives a new round logo.

In 23 countries, the show performed by the Princesses on Disney on Ice for five years continues to draw huge crowds, each year attracting more than 2.5 million viewers.

2009 — 2021: New members

In 2009, Disney launches the new official logo for the franchise, and the products sell $4 billion a year worldwide.

On March 16, 2010, Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog, Disney's new film, was officially crowned as a member of Disney Princess, including the presence of the eight original Princesses and the Fairy Godmother of Cinderella.

On September 23, 2010, Disney and JAKKS Pacific released a new line of dolls, Disney Princess & Me.

In 2011, the franchise receives a definitive and better-crafted logo. The entire style guide of the franchise is also modified.

On October 2, 2011, Rapunzel from the movie Tangled is added to the franchise as the 10th official Princess of the Royal Court of Disney Princess.

In 2013, the new designs are modified to satisfy fan requests, making the Princesses look closer to the original films.

On May 11, 2013, Princess Merida from Pixar's Brave is crowned as the franchise's 11th Princess. She is the first princess not produced by Walt Disney Pictures.

Merida's new design was not well received by the public, prompting a petition on the Charge.org website with over 200,000 signatures. Disney explained that this design was for the coronation only, and later, a definitive new design was used.

On September 26, 2013, Disney launched the Disney Princess Palace Pets franchise, a range of pet accessories associated with Disney Princesses. On October 27, 2013, Disney announced the UK release of the Palace Pets for 2014 after good results in the US. Merida and Elsa were supposedly going to get pets in the franchise, but although they got prototypes, they were never sold products and they didn't even appear in the animated series (Anna would probably also have pets, but they were never revealed).

In 2014, Disney claims to be still planning how to add Anna and Elsa to the franchise as Elsa was a queen, and stated that they would have a coronation event at Disneyland, just like Tiana, Rapunzel and Merida had. In November 2014, TheStreet.com explained that "Frozen is no longer a movie, it's a global brand, a larger-than-life franchise built around products, theme parks and sequels that could last well into the next century", however Elsa and Anna got their own franchise and the coronation event was completely forgotten with only the character introduction event at Disneyland.

From September 2014, the Princesses will receive a new logo, along with a new style guide, inspired by children's books.

On September 24, 2014, Disney closed a deal with Hasbro, licensing the doll line to the American toymaker, something that had belonged to Mattel since 2000.

On March 21, 2019, Moana was added to the official lineup without having a coronation ceremony. A few months later, it started to be included in official merchandise.

On January 26, 2022, Mattel announced that it had regained the license to produce dolls and toys based on the popular Walt Disney Company ice princesses, Elsa and Anna, from the "Frozen" film franchise. The agreement also brings other Disney characters that make children scream with joy, such as: Cinderella, Ariel, Moana, Raya among others from the franchise.

Former Members

Former members and important characters

The franchise has had several characters associated with it, since its creation, as initially, Disney considered that some female characters really deserved to be considered "princesses", for their "connections" with royalty or for their heroic acts, which made them so important. in his films, to the point of enchanting several generations.

The franchise features Tinker Bell, Esmeralda, and Jane Porter as former members, who were crowned official princesses, fitting into "princess mythology" (a method Disney used in the past to add characters to the franchise), but later being dropped. , why Disney believed they weren't popular enough to be official members. In addition, the characters Wendy Darling, Alice, the Blue Fairy, Megara, Kida, and Giselle were present in some products of the franchise, but they ended up not fitting in (or in the case of Giselle, they could not place the character, why would they have to pay royalties to actress Amy Adams) on the franchise. Eilonwy, Nancy, Rosalinda Montoya, Shanti and Malina have also been cited as characters with connections in the franchise, although they have never appeared in merchandise. These characters were given the name "Princess Helpers" by fans.

In addition, two characters were considered official members of the court, namely: Minnie Mouse, who is the "president" of the franchise and Princess Sofia, who is the "mascot" of the product line.

Marketing and Brand

Disney relies on the fact that girls never forget their first encounter with a Disney Princess. Even long after they've grown up, they continue to pass on their love for these heroines by introducing them to their younger sisters.

That's the secret behind the magical success of the Disney Princess franchise, the favorite brand for girls ages three to five. Mothers embrace the idea because, in an age when girls mature faster, Disney Princesses make girls stay like little girls a little longer. Disney aims to empower girls with wholesome stories about the virtues of integrity, honor, discovery, friendship and love.

"Girls are initially drawn to the rich, compelling stories and expect their products to be more than just a picture of just any young girl wearing a tiara and dress," said Mary Beech, vice president and general manager, Animation Consumer Products Marketing. "With the reintroduction of the Cinderella and Little Mermaid stories in recent years, everyone is reminded why the Disney Princess franchise rises above others who try to emulate it."

For a girl, the desire to feel special is more powerful than a magic wand. She dreams of a place where clothes are made of silver and gold, where people bow in her honor and princesses fall in love at first sight. It's a world created by Disney - full of fantasy and romance - in which a little girl can feel as special as a princess.
