Which Disney Princesses did not make the cut?


We know from the answers here Is there an official list of Disney Princesses? that some princess dont make it onto the Official list. Which Princesses in Disney movies are NOT official Disney Princesses, and are there reasons why?



Answer




The Disney Wikia maintains a pretty solid (and ongoing updated) answer to this very question.


The Official Disney Princess lineup doesn't include a number of bona-fide princesses who've appeared in animated feature films released by Walt Disney Studios;



  • Queen (formerly Princess) Anna and Queen (formerly Princess) Elsa from Frozen

  • Princess Nala from the Lion King and Princess Kiara from The Lion King II

  • Princesses Adella, Alana, Andrina, Aquata, Arista and Attina from The Little Mermaid and Princess Melody from The Little Mermaid II

  • President (formerly Princess) Vanellope von Schweetz from Wreck-it Ralph

  • Princess Kida Nedakh from Atlantis the Lost Empire

  • Princess Nancy from Enchanted

  • Princess Tiger Lily from Peter Pan


  • Princesses Sofia, Amber, Clio, Jun, Vivian and Hildegard from Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess, Princess Ivy from Sofia the First: The Curse of Princess Ivy and Princesses Oona and Cora from Sofia the First: The Floating Palace

  • Princesses Ting-Ting, Su and Mei from Mulan II

  • Princesses Atta and Dot from A Bug's Life

  • Princess Minnie Mouse of France from Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers

  • Princess Eilonwy of Llyr from The Black Cauldron

  • Princess Dawn from Strange Magic


Several princesses have also appears in various live-action properties



  • Princesses Audrey, Evie and Anxelin from Descendants


  • Princess Chelina of Zaragoza from Cinderella (2015)

  • Princess Draupadi from Arjun: The Warrior Prince

  • Princess Ozma from Return to Oz

  • Princess Tamina from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

  • Princess Dejah Thoris from John Carter

  • Princess Elspeth from Dragonslayer

  • Princesses May Belle of Terabithia from Bridge to Terabithia (note, self-appointed)

  • Princess Aida from Trenchcoat

  • Princess Milli Chakravarty from Khoobsurat

  • Princesses Katey and Sarah from A Kid in King Arthur's Court


  • Princess Rosalinda Flore from Princess Protection Programme

  • Princesses Mia Thermopolis and Palisades from The Princess Diaries and Princesses Hannah, Lorraine, Charlee, Alexandra, Aimee, Nicole, Nadia, Claudia, Nadege, Maui, Grace and Camille from The Princess Diaries II

  • Princess Winnifred from Once Upon a Mattress

  • Princess Leia of Alderaan from the Star Wars franchise


Notably, Esmeralda was removed from the official lineup in 2004. Other characters have failed to make the cut for a number of reasons, usually due to their films simply being too unpopular niche to justify their inclusion into the official pantheon.


It's also noteworthy that several of the "princesses" aren't actually princesses at all. Mulan is married to a General, Pocahontas is the daughter of an American-Indian tribal chief and Moana is the daughter of a Polynesian Tribal chieftain.

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

What is the etymology of Doctor Who?

I recently decided to watch Doctor Who, and started viewing the 2005 version. I have the first two episodes from the first season, and I can't help but wonder what is the etymology of the name "Doctor Who"? And why does the protagonist call himself "the Doctor" (or is it "the doctor")? Answer In the very first episode of Doctor Who (way back in 1963), the Doctor has a granddaughter going by the name "Susan Foreman", and the junkyard where the TARDIS is has the sign "I.M. Foreman". Barbara, who becomes one of the Doctor's companions, calls him "Doctor Foreman" (probably assuming that is his name given his relationship to Susan), and Ian (another early companion) does the same in the second episode, to which the Doctor says: Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about? "Foreman" is most likely selected as a convenient surname for Susan to use because it happened to be on display near where the TARDIS landed....

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...
