The Evolution Of The DISNEY PRINCESS Brand & Dolls!

[@clairenewhart1909]

Whenever people say "Ariel gave up her voice for a man!" I have to wonder if they even watched the movie. Like it was said in the video, she wanted to be human long before she saw Eric...He was just a bonus. Also the "Belle has Stockholm Syndrome" theory makes me roll my eyes

[@alejandromolinac]

Came around the late 2000’s attitude of “deconstructing”…. Very surface level to be honest

[@crab2195]

i completely agree. i’d say the worst offender when it comes to this is the blanket statement that people make on the princesses pre-disney renaissance, saying that those movies are “anti-feminist”. the only reason they say that is because the protagonist’s strengths are seen as feminine. which is another way of saying the only way a female protagonist can be feminist is if she has masculine traits… which simply isn’t true. snow white’s ability to nurture is her greatest strength. compassion is what got cinderella through difficult times. idk about you, but those are traits that i consider admirable. i think people also forget the time in which these movies were made… the 1950’s idea of a “strong woman” is very different today; but that doesn’t mean she’s not strong. women can be feminine, girly, soft-spoken and STILL be feminist. female protagonists don’t have to slay dragons and fight wars to be considered strong female leads.

[@gabrielguerrero6840]

Yes!!! I mean Part Of Your World -- the most pivotal part of the movie -- happened BEFORE Ariel even met Eric

[@smb-c3po]

Mainly she just wanted to go to other worlds.

[@Tarts_34]

Yeah really hate when people do that

[@moonflowerfaeriee]

I'm more a fan of the elegant feminine princesses personally. I love the fancy dresses and beautiful way they used to be made. My top three fav princesses are Aurora, Cinderella and Tiana. Great video :)

[@BUNNYZLIVEZONTHEMOON]

my favorites are Anna, Rapunzel, Moana isnt a princess but i like her, and Belle Edit: wait nvm Moana is a princess)

[@robloxdisneyland530]

I love Ariel and rapunzel mainly Rapunzel because I just always loved the fantasy of having like 800 feet of hair ! You know what I mean. I mean outside my house I literally have a 10foot long hair extensions hanging from my upstairs window and that's only a decoration lol

I’d love for them to make a separate line for the girls who aren’t princesses but have heroine attributes just so we can get more dolls!

[@WinterWonder99]

I feel like Alice, Tinkerbell, Elsa, and Anna are the official "unofficial " Disney princesses. They have their own merch, but they still get included with the princesses from time to time. I would say Tink is the most frequently used.

[@october7895]

I really like them interacting with each other, I think its really sweet. It encourages strong friendships i think because in a lot of these movies the girls don't have friends.

[@crab2195]

i was looking for this comment! i so agree! i think the action poses are great but the change with the biggest impact is most definitely the princesses interacting with one another. we don’t have any princess female friendship films! yes, we have a movie about two sisters but that’s not the same as a friend group/duo. i would say one of the most defining traits for women is their ability to create and maintain authentic friendships. i always loved Bratz as a young girl and now that i’m older i truly feel like it’s shaped my perception on women and friendships. the barbie brand did a good job portraying female friendships in their movies like Barbie & the Diamond Castle too. the disney company has been around for almost a century and we haven’t even gotten a disney princess movie based solely on friendship! i know they’ve made several movies focused on female empowerment but it’s time we give those movies the Frozen treatment and remind girls that strength comes in numbers💕

[@clos4824]

This video is a treat for all of us Disney Princess fans. Lots of good information and history. I do like both aspects of the brand, for example, I do love the "princessy" side, but I also love how inclusive the brand has become. Princess Jasmine has been my favorite princess since Aladdin came out. I remember the first years of the Disney Princess brand that Jasmine was featured about half the time while Pocahontas and Mulan were almost always absent. Sometimes trying to find any Jasmine products was like a treasure hunt. If you found anything featuring Mulan or Pocahontas then it was like winning the lottery. 🙂👸👸🏼👸🏾

[@BeautyInsideABox]

I remember feeling the same way hunting for mulan, Jasmine and Pocahontas. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@musicguy713]

For real! Pocahontas was my favorite, and it was beyond rare finding anything Pocahontas related. I'm so glad she's much more equally featured as the others, and has her own stuff. Hope this continues.

[@shadows6411]

I never once thought that Ariel gave up her voice for a man. She sacrificed her voice to walk on land and explore outside her world in the ocean.

[@RhysezPieces]

I'll never understand why people use that as a gotcha? Like her I Want song is literally her talking about wanting to walk, learn about human things, and feel respected/independent in ways she doesn't under her protective father's thumb.

[@kittycheshire5099]

My issue is that she risked her life, her father, and the entire fate of the sea on the slight off chance that she could make the prince fall for her. It was a very risky and reckless move, and she gets rewarded for it, instead of learning her lesson to not throw caution to the wind to make her dreams come true. I never thought it makes girls think they need to change for a man, but I did think it could teach children to be reckless.

[@abbey2cold]

Her meeting Eric was a coincidence, and he was just kinda thrown in with the rest of the things she wanted-

[@psychotophatcat]

@@kittycheshire5099 She didn't know Ursula would try to take over the sea though. As far as she knew, Ursula was just going to take her voice and possibly turn her into a part of the living garden. And, again, Eric was more of a bonus to getting to be human, plus an extra "screw you" to her human-hating dad. Ariel thought she was risking only her own life, no one else's.

[@yippedoodah]

She literally brought up that she planned to swim up to his castle and have Flounder get his attention despite her being a mermaid. Her dad destorying everything she loves also didn't put her in the best mental space. On a side note, I find it so funny how Keira Knightly (and Idina Menzel) say this stuff about Ariel on a surface level when they both played messy Disney characters too (one trying to destroy an entire kingdom through militant force while ostracizing her good friend and the other almost freezing a whole kingdom to death because she doesn't know how to cope with her emotions nor give her sister the time of day).

[@thecrazyonegirl]

The Disney Princesses magazine really brought me back! I used to read the comics in them as a kid and I remember having a poster of Belle in her red winter dress on my wall... I had totally forgotten about them until now!

[@PixieDust18]

in France this magazine was only on sale in department stores (they have disappeared now) I remember having had as a gift super snowballs with miniature princesses inside 😍

[@svendn959]

The colors of Snow White's dress were "wrong" in the early merchandise because Disney hadn't decide what colors her outfit would be until a couple of weeks before the movie went in premiere..Ofc all the merchandise and promo materials had to be made in advance and at that time they would go with the colors you can see on the original movie poster and in most of the merchandise released before the movie came out: yellow/white bow, red/brown bodice, yellow sleeves with white and yellow dress.😊

[@myra0224]

To answer your question as to why they look like children: I'm pretty sure back in the day toddler dolls were very popular! Madam Alexander is a toddler doll brand as well (I also think Aurora might be based on an earlier design? As it took much longer to make dolls and movies back then). The fashion doll of Ariel also looks like a child because Ariel... Was a child 😅

[@JoMarieM]

Many dolls that came out pre-2000 looked like children. The reason why many toy manufacturers began making dolls that looked like teenagers, was that they figured out that many little girls liked playing with their older sister's dolls, which often looked like teenagers, so these companies figured that if they made the dolls look older, little girls would start playing with them sooner, and end up playing with them longer!

[@crab2195]

we know ariel was a child but the dolls pre-Mattel looked like pre-pubescent children, not even teenagers.

[@amberwilson3919]

When I young, I adored Aurora, as at the time, the idea of beauty was tied to being blond. While I still like Aurora, I realized hating myself for having dark hair was nonsense, society be damned. Now I love Snow White, on top of being attractive, she is incredible kind in her story. The idea of being kind even in stressful situations is something more people should strive for.

[@MadCatNobody]

The whole Disney Princess brand thing is actually pretty interesting to think about as a Kingdom Hearts fan. The first game came out in 2002 and one of the plot points was that the villains needed "7 Princesses of Heart" (6 Disney Princesses, then Kairi, one of the original characters of the game). The 6 ended up being Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, and, interestingly enough, Alice. Why they went with Alice instead of Ariel I don't know, but could be for two reasons; 1. When you went to a Disney world, a character from that world would be your ally in battle. In the first game, all of them were male except for Ariel so maybe they wanted her so they could have one female battle ally. 2. The Princesses of Heart are not supposed to have any "darkness" in their heart, so maybe lying to her dad and having ambition to go to another world was considered darkness? idk It's just interesting to think how much branding may have influenced certain aspects of the Disney Princesses in those games. You also mentioned how early on, the Disney Princesses could never interact with each other, and even though Kingdom Hearts was billed as a big "Disney Crossover" I noticed how the characters from each of the individual worlds never really interact with each other.

[@SethHannan93]

A reasoning I’ve heard as to why Jane isn’t often incorporated is because of the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs who wrote Tarzan is very particular with how Tarzan is merchandised.

I love these scripted deep dives, please definitely do more, diving into more doll histories. I agree I love the sparkly glamorous Disney Princess branding, I think Disney just has to do a better job of understanding that it fits some princesses and not others but still try to find a way that they can all still look cohesive and respectful. I feel as if Disney is ALWAYS reactionary with their branding and always decides to lean too far in any direction, instead of getting ahead of it the criticism and setting an example. Also please god, can they cut down on the number of lines they release so we can get more fabric in these skirts. These boxy dresses with barely any gather and molded-on painted tops are hurting my soul!! Also, I forgot how frickin BEAUTIFUL Jasmine dolls were in the 90's. I remember wanting them so badly as a kid.

Such a great and informative video! Your videos have always been great, but the quality just keeps getting better and better!

I love them all so much, since they're all so diverse. However, the one I relate to the most is Rapunzel!

I can't actually remember them having meg in the line though. I agree with you that the 90s Mattel dolls were definitely the best they are fantastic. My favourite princess is Ariel as I've always identified with her since i was a kid. She always deemed of achieving her dreams and went out to achieve them. Snow white and Aurora are also my favourites as I just think they are so fabulous and Iconic. I love their films individually and they ate both sweet caring and kind. My other top favourite princesses is Anastasia I know she's not made by disney but now they own her I hope they make more merch for her.

Yess, the Disney Princess magazine! I loved that and the plastic jewellery it sometimes came with. Cinderella was my favourite and I honestly think she still is, especially since I think the 2015 Cinderella is the only good live action remake they've done so far. But at both of the character and parade auditions I've been to I went for the Anna or Rapunzel approach when asked to choose a princess to animate as, because their childlike exuberance comes more naturally to me.

[@justicierodelaliga]

Tarzan did well enough at the Box Office...and that´s not counting VHS and DVD sales. If anything, it had to do with your second point regarding Jane looking too similar to Jane. In fact, for that same reason Aurora is much more known for her pink dress when she wore the blue color much more. Add to that the right issues with the property (I barely know about it but seems to be that Disney isn´t allowed to merch the movie and that´s why there´s nothing regarding it). As for Esmeralda it had more to do with how adult themed The Hunchback of Notre Dame is. The Disney Heroes line is a shame it never came to happen. There were some prototypes of action heroes for Hercules and Prince Phillip that were INCREDIBLE! The Disney Villains line is incredibly popular with adults. ...the Disney Pets line was just pushing it. That is, unless the marketed it at very young kids...but they had Winnie Pooh for that. PS Just came to mind that by own rules of Disney then Kida (Atlantis) should be in the line by being born royal and Megara by being married into royalty.

This was a great video. (Bonus history lesson!) I remember a lot of these doll lines. I still have the Belle Dancing Princess, and last I checked, the stand still played music. I had been getting my niece the Sparkling Princess line. I was disappointed with how hard it was to find Jasmine, let alone Pocahontas. I described it to someone as Snow White was easier to find as even she was a hard find on store shelves. I like how you brought up the change in artwork. This was something that I did not like, since that was where the change in Cinderella's hair style came from, among other things. I kept asking myself why the everyday dress a couple of the girls wore was all decked out like a ball gown. And completely agree with the decline in quality. It's sad that the only decent dolls are Disney Store dolls.

[@vittoriopiorosariosavasta7590]

My favorite Disney princesses are Ariel, Cinderella and Snow White My favorite era of the brand was the 2000s “the golden age” where the princesses were represented in their classic looks with a magical fairytale background My favorite dolls are the ones made by Simba, they are the best 2000s Disney dolls in my opinion, they were so beautiful, movie accurate and good quality, amazing playsets, far better than anything Mattel was making at the time Simba was inclusive, in 2006 they included Jasmine, Pocahontas and Mulan in the doll line while Mattel still focused on the 5 white princesses 90s Mattel dolls are beautiful but the classic white princesses weren’t very accurate to the movies, while Jasmine and the other heroines of the Disney Renaissance were very well made and accurate The Hasbro dolls are the worst, they are ugly, that disproportioned cartoonish look wasn’t good for the Princesses, the clothes were insanely cheap and NOT movie accurate at all! The new Mattel dolls for 2023 have very good face molds, yes they are equally cheap with molded on tops but i think that these are the dolls of the transitory fase, I hope that in the next years they will make them with removable clothes The Disney Store dolls are good, in general they are the best ones, but their design wasn’t great sometimes I hope that this year they will upgrade the classic dolls making them movie accurate

My favorite Disney Princesses are probably Elsa (I know Frozen is its own franchise though) and Belle. Ever since I was a kid, I liked Belle because she liked to read and had brown hair. Elsa later replaced her as my favorite though because I could relate to her on a more personal level and she is a comfort character for me. I literally have 6 Elsa dolls in my collection because she is just so special to me. I also find it really sad to see how much the quality has gone down on the Mattel Disney Princess dolls over the years. Its interesting how they used to have more high quality dresses back then and when I was a kid, but now they are more aimed at kids and have annoying things like molded on tops and limited articulation.

[@julieannefowler5768]

I love both versions of the marketing for the line, but I do kind of prefer the newer thing where they interact. From an artistic perspective, you can do so much more with this concept. I may be in the minority, but I actually like the new Mattel dolls. I may not care for the molded tops, but the face sculpts are pretty good, the colors are on point, and from what I can tell they have pretty good rooting for play line dolls. Not Disney Store quality, but better than Hasbro. Belle is probably my favorite princess. I wish that they would market her in the green dress she wore when Beast gave her the library at least once. It is always either the yellow iconic gown, her blue town dress, or the pink gown. Once or twice the Christmas dress (I love this one so much) but the green one has never turned up that I have seen. Keep being awesome and have a safe year.

[@alexinitalics188]

Absolutely agree about them interacting! And also, I have mixed feelings for the new dolls as, I wouldn't say I like them due to the moulded tops and how that affects the designs but the face sculpts are the most accurate I think I've seen, especially for a character like Rapunzel who almost always has the complete wrong head shape.

I think that even though Disney's idea of changing movies names was to be more "gender neutral" it actually helps to put the focus on the whole history rather than only the princess. Also with the poster showing all the characters. The 3D era brought some interesting male characters.

[@JoMarieM]

Some Disney films with titles like "Frozen" or "Tangled," were named such because the producers felt that giving them the title of a feminine name, such as "Rapunzel" or "The Snow Queen," would only really be of interest to girls and women. But these other titles, on the other hand, also made men more likely to watch because the film didn't appear to be quite so feminine at first glance!

It really did go downhill. Excited to keep watching.

0:10 I just screamed! I had this castle when I was very young! he disappeared without me ever knowing where he went! (all I have left are pictures of me playing and one of the golden candlesticks seen in the background on the video ) which always intrigued me is that it had the shape of the castle of the French sleeping beauty!!🥺

My favorite Disney Princess is Anna from Frozen. I love how she is kinda awkward at moments but is so excited about most things.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the Princesses are not actually princesses but a elite group of actresses who stared in incredibly successful movies.

[@theroseofversailles]

So basically like Barbie in her iconic movies.

[@sonofaspyder3000]

That’s actually hysterical and I 100% agree

Absolutely loved this video! Seriously, great job on it. I love Disney princesses, Ive been obsessed with them since I was a child, I never had an exact favorite growing up until Rapunzel came out, but I always had an attraction towards Cinderella, Aurora and Ariel (which funny enough we actually share a name, mines just spelled a little differently) I also have always loved Giselle since Enchanted happened, kind of sad Disney didnt want to incorporate her more just to give Amy some royalties >_> I also love seeing the very very old dolls of snow white, Cinderella and aurora; theyre very different but I barely even knew they existed. In recent years I have LOVED seeing the princesses interact more, I love it as an adult but as a child I wouldve been over the moon, kids today are lucky sometimes lolol. Very excited to see what Wish is like and I cant wait for Halle Bailey's little mermaid💜💜💜💜 Hoping we have a revival of more "girly" media again and can have the best of both worlds where they can be feminine and badass

The Mattel dolls were really special

15:46 they would always be THE Disney’s princess.

I guess also Tiana. 2D animated films will always be superior.

I remember the Disney princess magazine 😊

I personally do not have a singular favorite official disney princess, so I have recently put together a list of my favorites; Ariel🦭,Belle🥀,Pocahantes🍁, and Rapunzel🎇 .

[@dolls_treasury]

Nostalgia! The Disney Princess Glitter Princess collection had a variety of face molds and they are my favourite!

[@aureliahansen]

[@graciegalahad9258]

[@marcelocalegarojr7138]

Fantastic video, I'm a fan of your channel, you already know that. Great choice of images, and the videos are getting even better.

[@madelineaguilar302]

I used to be obsessed with the Ariel and tinker bell dolls personally growing up

[@MarsNeptune-pi9nw]

Evolution of ever after high dolls please 😌

[@nessierey6721]

My Favorites are: Belle, Ariel, Rapunzel & Anna

[@funkyfeem727]

I personally would love to see a lgbt princess in the future. Also for the quality of the dolls to go back up because those original Mattel dolls you showed were so gorgeous. I love Mulan, Aurora and Tiana the best. I wish they'd include them a little bit more on merch they seem to tend to focus on Ariel, Rapunzel, Cinderella and Belle the most from what I've seen.

I had the Jasmine Dancing Princess
