See, this is one thing I don't get: Why the heck is being a huge financial success somehow an exemption from being in the franchise? I could understand, say, being a box office bomb being an exemption, but making a lot of money? If anything, that's even MORE reason to include them.

After all, by that logic, Ariel shouldn't even BE in the DP franchise since her film, like Frozen and Moana, also made an unexpected amount of money, was a runaway success, not to mention has a whole lot of independent merchandising to sell very well independently of the franchise, as you can see here: http://littleariel.com/news.htm Specifically, the October 29 2006 entry. And I've seen a similar sale in 2008, also at Toys R Us.
