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.

languages - Do we ever see written English in the Star Wars films?

In Empire Strikes Back , we see a transcription of what R2's beeps and bloops mean, but it's not English (sorry for the low quality, it's from the 2004 DVDs): I'd assume it's what Basic looks like when written, but is there some point in the the Star Wars films we see written English instead? (This sort of spun off from a discussion in How do people understand astromech droids? .) Answer At one point there was English but it has been phased out in subsequent versions of the films. Chris Gould at DVD Active did a comparison of all versions of each of the Star Wars films, and in his comparison of Episode 4 , there are a couple of screenshots showing how the power gauge for the Death Star tractor beam was changed. I imagine there are probably more to be found in his other comparisons but I haven't got around to reading those yet.

Was the "pure soul" of Harry's what had really hurt Voldemort?

In the Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort possesses Harry, and it hurts. Greatly. I think that Dumbledore explained that it was because Voldemort's rotten soul was incapable of assimilating Harry's pure soul, that Voldemort didn't understand the love and friendship etc that Harry has in his heart. But, I think it was a lie. Remember that in Deathly Hallows, while looking for information regarding Horcruxes, it is discovered that it is in fact possible to merge a soul fragment back, but that the process was extremely painful. Now then, if Voldemort tried to possess Harry, and Harry had a fragment of Voldemort's soul, I think that it could have been the true cause of Voldemort's pain: the fact of having his soul so close of another fragment. I think that Dumbledore knew that fact, but had to lie to Harry because it was inappropriate to let him know that he had one of Voldemort's soul fragments at the moment. Is that right? Or was it truly the pure soul of Harry's...

star wars - What "exactly" happens when someone turns to the Dark Side?

When I saw the original Star Wars saga as a kid, the concept of the Dark Side imprinted in me was quite simple. You did a bad thing, so you're a bad person so you go to the Dark Side and keep doing bad things. Now, obviously this doesn't hold true in reality. In my mind it is perfectly reasonable for Luke to kill the Emperor and Vader and then just flee the Death Star and rejoin the Alliance. After all they are at war, those are enemy officers that have captured him and are taunting him by threatening with death of all loved ones and the whole operation was intended to kill the Emperor anyway. The same would hold true for Anakin. He could have killed Mace Windu to save the Chancellor and Padme but that doesn't mean he's going to then go mad and kill all Jedis including children. It doesn't add up from a merely psychological point of view. He had a set of objectives and that made him want to keep the Chancellor alive (quite valid by the way, Mace Windu is quite clums...

star trek - Warning regarding forward saucer section in Nemesis?

In Star Trek: Nemesis , just before the Enterprise rams into the Scimitar, Picard sends a text message from his captain's chair arm pad to Troi — who is manning the helm in lieu of the crewman who was just blown out through what was once the view screen — indicating that she should put full impulse on standby. (Literally, if you watch the scene closely, Troi's console prefaces the order with "TXT MSG" !) My question is: Did Picard also somehow warn crew members in the forward saucer section about what was about to happen? The ramming of the Scimitar was a heat of the moment decision. Considering that he also resorted to calling the auto-destruct sequence shortly after (which ended up being offline), he probably was of the mindset that any losses would be acceptable in order to hault Shinzon's march to Earth. Still, I'm curious. Answer The original script indicates that he called for the crew to " brace for impact ". Whether that call (or the comma...
