Anti-Princess, Merida

LupinPrincess Is that like..all you think about? Everything I've seen you comment or post or anything in this club is your undying hate of merida.

LibelluleBleu I agree with this confession

Elemental-Aura Can't people just suck up about this! It's like they have nothing better to do int their lives! She going to part of the Disney Princess franchise. I bet 2 weeks after her coronation you won't care anymore!

LupinPrincess God I hope they stop...it's becoming less of an opinion and more of a tantrum -.-

Persephone713 You must not be reading all my posts then. I have posted my opinions of other things. And If people can "love" her , I can hate her. I think Pixar is just adding her "because", for no reason. And that is stupid. If they were adding her for a reason, then they would allow " Kida" , "Ellonwy", "Giselle", maybe even a couple animals like - Nala and/or Lady. Its not my fault their hypocrites, they make a character who hates being a princess, then adds her to the princess line. Or that the movie is basically like Brother Bear.

LupinPrincess They are adding her because merida makes them alot of money! Her stuff has been selling as much as the disney princess stuff combined! Especially the bow and arrow set...kida's movie made no money, they even cancelled an Atlantis ride because of it's failure and eilonwy's movie made even less! They didn't add Giselle because they would have had to pay Amy Adams a lot of money for using her face! Second, Jasmine also mentioned hating being a princess, feeling "trapped" even Ariel for being stuck, Belle never married adam so she didnt actually become a princess, Mulan was not royalty and didnt even come close... So they are not hypocrites, this kind of decision isn't new...or were you just born yesterday that you haven't noticed? Anyone can come up with a bullshit reason why any of them shouldn't be in the line...but disney doesn't care about anything except sales

Persephone713 "They are adding her because merida makes them alot of money! Her stuff has been selling as much as the disney princess stuff combined"- that's not true, Ariel, Belle and Cinderella stuff sell the fastest. They are hardly ever around. And Merida stuff is not that popular. "Second, Jasmine also mentioned hating being a princess, feeling "trapped" even Ariel for being stuck, Belle never married adam so she didnt actually become a princess, Mulan was not royalty and didnt even come close.." Ariel, didnt want to be a mermaid. She never said anything about being a princess.Jasmine said that in anger one time - when fighting with her Dad. We don't see the wedding of Belle and Adam but the stain glass window picture ends with a crown on Belle's head so yes she does become a Princess. Over in China, Being part of a Military family, is like royalty...and that was not my point. The whole plot line, of " Brave" is her not wanting to be "lady-like" or a " Princess" and she is PIXAR, before she is Disney. What would be wrong with adding her to the line-up of all the other female Pixar Heroines.? Seems she would like that more. -Thats what I meant by Hypocritical.

LupinPrincess Yes she is that popular with little girls, the bow and arrow set was sold out and out of stock Continuously for the first month! i saw that myself, And merida sales were just as high as disney princess stuff the first couple of months...it was on their company sales quote! Why dont you look it up? Do you need more examples? Why else would they add her??? Of course she makes money! For them to SPEND money to do a coronation and to pump out new merchandise for her if she didnt make a profit would be BAD business and Disney is one of the largest and most successful business. They don't do shit like this if they don't expect a profit. Notice how Mulan and Pocahontas merchandise is barely around?? Check the disney store...it's almost non existent..why? Because they don't sell very well! Meanwhile...merida has her own section! For arguments sake, people can STILL argue about why some of the princess shouldn't be a part of the line, I can still argue that merida didn't want to NOT be royalty, just that she wanted freedom to pick her own betrothal and maybe less strict princess lessons...jasmine didnt want to be a princess for the same reason of not being able to pick her man, also how people tell her "what to do and how to dress" she even ran away and didnt want to come back, she only went back to save aladdin's ass..... but these are just excuses that disney doesn't care about...merida may not be a disney studio princess, but she is a disney COMPANY princess, because disney has full ownership of Pixar as of 2006...DO your research as you can see, they have a reason, MONEY Your just ignorant and bitter because YOU don't like her. You really are ignoring the facts out of anger

curtains4 Don't worry, I agree with you
