What are Disney princess toys?

Disney princess toys are toys geared to young girls based on the Disney princesses. Each princess has her own individual toys to choose from.


Are all the Disney princesses just people in costumes?

Well... of course. What else would they be? Although, when they are dressed as their characters, they aren't allowed to break character so technically, when they are Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine & the others, they are the princesses.


How many Disney characters are there?

The official list from the Walt Disney Company consists of TEN princesses:Snow White, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs(1937)Cinderella, from Cinderella (1950)Aurora, from Sleeping Beauty (1959)Ariel, from The Little Mermaid (1989)Belle, from Beauty and the Beast (1991)Jasmine, from Aladdin (1992)Pocahontas, from Pocahontas (1995)Mulan, from Mulan (1998)Tiana, from The Princess and The Frog (2009)Rapunzel, From Tangled (2010)Although they are included in the Disney Princess franchise, Cinderella, Belle, and Tiana are not princesses by birth. They became princesses through marrying princes. There is also some controversy about Pocahontas and Mulan being included in the Princess list. Pocahontas is the chief's daughter, but Native American tribes differ from tradition European royalty. Mulan is not royal by birth and marries a general, not a prince.There are 9 Disney Princesses. Mulan is not a princess, neither is Pocahontas. They are strong female leaders but not princesses. Princesses have to be born or married into royalty to become princesses. Native American Indians do not consider their Chief a king. He is a political leader and governor (sort of like the president) and can be elected. Pocahontas marries a general and adventurer who works for the king but is not royalty. Likewise with Mulan's case. Mulan's people do not have kings and queens either. They have emperors. Even in that light Mulan is still no princess. She is a general's wife. She and Pocahontas both live beautifully rich and prosperous lives as the wives of generals and change the way that their people think and look at others. People tend to think they are princesses but they are not. The 9th Disney princess is princess Sofia of the Disney show Sofia the first (2012). All of the princesses are white except Jasmine (Arabian), Tiana (African/Caribbean American) and Sofia (Biracial/ Latina and White). And all of the Disney princesses except Sofia are based on the fables from Grimm's fairy tales. Mulan and Pocahontas on the other hand, were based on the lives of two real women. The Chinese Warrior Hua Mulan,Wei or Zhu (Mulan) and The Native American Matoaka or Amonute (Native Americans do not use last names and Pocahontas was her nickname.) She married John Rolfe in real life.


Were the Disney princesses made from tragedies?

No, most of the Disney Princess Stories are based on actual fairytales, most with unhappy endings. Disney just made them child-friendly. For example, The Little Mermaid was originally written by Hans Christian Anderson as a fairytale, not a tragedy.

Does Disney's Pocahontas have false facts in it?

Disney's Pocahontas is based on a true story and takes significant creative liberties with the facts. Pocahontas was only about 10 or 11 when John Smith arrived in Virginia. She was never romantically linked to him and actually married John Rolfe, a minor character in the Disney film.The story of Pocahontas saving Smith's life by laying her head over his moments before his execution is also hotly debated. His writings (17 years after the fact) are the only source, although it is often repeated as common knowledge. John Smith returned to England two years after his arrival, needing medical attention for injuries related to a gunpowder explosion, not a gunshot wound.The 1998 sequel, Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World, also had several factual errors. Rolfe married Pocahontas before her (only) visit to England. John Smith was thought to be dead by Pocahontas' tribe, but not by anyone in England. Pocahontas died in England after becoming ill on the ship back to America.


Did Pokahontas marry John Smith?

Yes, Pocahontas (by disney) is largely based on history, however it is notable that it isn't completely historically accurate (as is with many childrens films) so don't assume that all of it is historically accurate.

Any female protagonist or heroine in a Disney film that was never mentioned to be a princess or a part of a royal family such as Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Wendy from Peter Pan, or Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
