You may not want to continue this conversation, but darling, I do. You've made quite a ruckus in the comments section here, and all for nothing. You said Meg couldn't be added because she's not a princess, as couldn't Esmeralda. Meg is a princess by marriage, she's married to the Prince of the GODS. As for Esmeralda, she was already introduced into the line-up, something you seem to not have known previously since you said she shouldn't be added, but now you're claiming that you did know... So why use the word "added" instead of something like "reinstated"?

Secondly, Kida and Eilonwy may have had disappointing movies in their original theatrical runs, but their movies have developed followings and are both cult-classics, especially The Black Cauldron, which is gaining fame on Tumblr. So yes, both are very popular. As are Meg and Jane. Esmeralda is the forgotten one, honestly.

You said that people who want girls like Meg or Esmeralda added into the franchise are crazy because "they have nothing to do with royalty, they didn't marry princes and they're not the protagonists of their movies".

Disney Princesses are not the same as Princesses in a Disney movie. The definition of Disney Princess is at the very top of this page. A Disney Princess is one who is a Princess by birth (Snow, Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Anna, Elsa, Merida), Princess by marriage (Cinderella, Belle, Tiana) or due to a significant portrayal of heroism in their debut film (saving China for Mulan, stopping the Native Americans and British from killing each other for Pocahontas).

Megara, Jane, Nala and Sofia the First are all Princesses by marriage (in Sofia's case, her mother's marriage). With Jane and Nala ascending to the title of Queen instead.

Kida, Eilonwy, Giselle, Vanellope and Elena of Avalor are all Princesses by birth. Kida ascended to the title of Queen while Vanellope chose to become President, but is still very much a Princess by birth.

Esmeralda helped save all of Paris from Claude Frollo and ultimately saved the Romani people (commonly known as Gypsies).

There is not one potential princess who doesn't meet at least one of these criteria.
