History Trivia / DisneyPrincess

* FlipFlopOfGod:
** Are [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Elsa and Anna]] considered to be Disney Princesses? Not even Disney has a solid answer on that. Officially, neither one has been inducted into Disney Princess status, and Disney tends to treat ''Frozen'' as a standalone IP with no connection to the line. Despite that, both characters are included alongside the Disney Princesses in ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'' and occasionally in marketing. Since 2022 they are usually listed together on Disney Princess products as "Frozen Queens".

* ExiledFromContinuity: While the official roster includes [[ArtifactTitle three characters who are not princesses]] and other non-princesses have appeared from time to time, there are several actual princesses from the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon who have been omitted. The roster has always tended to skew towards more popular works, which is usually taken to be the main reason [[WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron Eilonwy]] and [[WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire Kida]] have never been included, although the DarkerAndEdgier aspects of those two films may also be part of the reason. Non-human princesses such as [[WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}} Faline]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Nala, and Kiara]] are also left out, likely because they don't wear glamorous clothes or jewelry, and consequently [[VirtualPaperDoll can't be dressed up]] like the human princesses (though it may also be because like {{most writers|AreHuman}}, most audience members are human). In other cases, the nature of the source material is the most likely factor: [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph Vanellope von Schweetz]]]] is never included, probably in part because her status as a princess is a spoiler,[[note]]and because she [[spoiler: relinquishes her title and abolishes the monarchy in Sugar Rush]] almost immediately after TheReveal[[/note]] but likely also due to her film being aimed at an older audience and her character [[DefiedTrope not fitting the]] PrincessClassic model at all. Another special case is [[Film/{{Enchanted}} Giselle]], who can't be used because Disney would have to pay Creator/AmyAdams royalties to use her image on their products (presumably similar reasons are why [[Film/ThePrincessDiaries Mia Thermopolis]] is also absent, as is [[Franchise/StarWars Princess Leia]]). Eilonwy and [[WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} Jane Porter]] are also passed over because unlike the official Princesses, they are not either wholly Disney-owned or {{Public Domain Character}}s, but from adaptations of other properties. [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIReturnToTheSea Melody]] is also passed over despite being Ariel's daughter, mostly for debuting in a sequel made by Creator/DisneyToonStudios (Which is also the reason she's not in the Film/{{Descendants}} sequels). Disney-owned princess characters from television and video games are also excluded, such as [[WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Star Butterfly]] and [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Kairi]] due to the movies being better-known amongst general audiences. [[WesternAnimation/RayaAndTheLastDragon Raya]] seems to be in a gray area: The official Disney Princess page listed her movie as part of their Princess movie line up, but Raya herself isn't listed as a Disney Princess, most likely due to the movie's lack of success due to being released near the Covid 19 Pandemic.

** Raya seem to also be in a gray area. She isn't listed as an official Disney Princess, but sometime she would have dolls and merchandise in the franchise as well as her movie is listed in the roster.

** Raya was hyped up as the next Disney Princess. However, her movie's shortened theatrical release due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, as well as Disney's seeming desire to DistancedFromCurrentEvents has seem to put her Disney Princess status on hold.
