2/18/2023 1 Comment What is the brave characters nameShe isn’t waiting in a tower (or a coma) for a magical kiss from a valiant stranger. She’s fully capable of achieving her happily ever after without a prince by her side. There’s a bigger issue at hand, however, and Disney execs have to be a bit worried about it… Since we are focusing on human princesses, though, she’s the first of her kind. I clarified “human” because we can’t forget the ant princesses Atta and Dot from Pixar’s A Bug’s Life. She’s the first human Disney/Pixar Princess, and that sets her apart from the crowd. So why might she be excluded from the lineup of official Disney Princesses? Well, Merida deviates from the norm is some clear (and clearly awesome) ways: “either royal by birth, royal by marriage, or considered a “princess” due to their significant portrayal of heroinism in their film and/or of a very high status in their country/region.” Plus, she exceeds the official standards put forth by Disney: As the daughter to Queen Elinor and King Fergus, and the first-born of Clan DunBroch, she is clearly born royalty. Her official title is Princess Merida of DunBroch – a kingdom in the Scottish highlands. Hopefully Merida will get the same treatment – but perhaps in Glasgow, Scotland?įor further (slightly crackpot conspiracy) theories, click through to my new article Brave Merida On Track To Become Official Disney Princess!Īlright, now let’s get to know Merida and her world… :) It’s also worth noting that Rapunzel had a procession and coronation ceremony at Kensington Palace in London, which is pretty darn fancy. Therefore I am extending my deadline to this time (July) 2013, because apparently it can take up to a year for the paperwork to clear. And as much as I love all things Disney, that mouse (like any corporation) is heavily fueled by the all-mighty dollar.Įdited to add – Tangled came out in November of 2010, and Rapunzel was officially welcomed into the Disney Princess franchise on October 2, 2012. Why am I so sure? Because Brave Merida is making bank for Disney/Pixar. But I’d be willing to go all in that she’s a legit Disney Princess by the end of 2012. Or, to put it another way – is Disney Brave enough to make Merida an official princess?Įdited to add – yes! It’s official – Merida from Disney/Pixar’s Brave will have her coronation as the 11th member of the Disney Princess Line Up in July of 2013! Click for more info :)
