"Leia was never planned to join the line-up for two good reasons. First, she is live-action character. Second, she is not good role model for children. She is not even from the movie you would show to children! And even if Pixar would separate from Disney one day, which is almost impossible, 'Brave' was created during Disney era so Disney would have always right to use this movie and characters in their merchandise."

I guess you have a point regarding the live action character bit, but I should point out that Brave isn't exactly a good role model for children. Unless you think somehow that "girls are superior and all good while men are at best like immature frat boys and at worst are not good people at all" is somehow a good message. Not to mention that Merida actually attempts to murder her mom at one point. And another thing, Pokémon was also distributed by Disney via Miramax, yet none of the movies, even the ones actually distributed by Disney during that time period (ie, Pokémon 4Ever up to Destiny Deoxys) are counted as Disney, and once Pixar basically becomes independent of Disney, however unlikely it is, guess what, all Pixar films, regardless of whether made by Disney or not, will go to Pixar as they were legally the ones who actually made them. That basically means if Pixar leaves, Merida goes with them.
