"mulan was never portrayed as a princess by birth. she only wears pretty clothing, and that didn't make her a princess by birth. also, if u disagree that belle never got married, then that means snow white, aurora, Pocahontas, mulan, Rapunzel, and anna never had a happily ever after..." DisneyJr, above post.

Okay, DisneyJr, let me begin this by saying that I do not hate you. I'm sure you are a wonderful person and I am not doing this to make you angry. I just get really steamed when I begin ranting, so I'm sorry if this offends you.

I agree with the fact that Mulan was not a princess by birth. What I don't agree with is "If you disagree that Belle never got married, then that means Snow White, Aurora, Pocahontas, Mulan, Rapunzel and Anna never had a happily ever after." First off, how in the wide wide world of Disney does disagreeing with Belle getting married lead to the following Princesses not having a happily ever after? Those are two independant statements:

1. Belle did not get married (No Belles are married.)

2. No following-princesses lived happily-ever-after. (No following-princesses are happily-ever-after-livers.)

If you're saying that the princesses did not live happily ever after because they did not get married, then that is an invalid argument entirely. Getting married does not equal a happily ever after, and not getting married does not equal no happily ever after. Mérida and Elsa never got married, but they lived happily ever after and never got a love interest (as far as we know, that is.) [Anna, I think, is dating Kristoff, and not married to him yet, but that's beside the point.] And as for Married ≠ Happily Ever After... just think about several unhappy marriages in real life that resulted in a thing called "divorce." (I personally do not agree with divorce if it's not for valid reasons, but again, totally different topic.) Snow White lived happily ever after with her Prince; that is very much canon. Aurora, in this one Disney Princess spin-off, is shown to be at the least engaged to Philip, and she's pretty happy. Pocahontas did not marry John Smith, but does marry John Rowlfe. (That's not canon, that's history.) Rapunzel and Flynn got married. See "Tangled Ever After." Anna is happy with her boyfriend Kristoff and her sister Elsa.
