The Disney Princesses are '', who will become the first Black princess to join the ranks of Disney Princesses.2 Despite each being from different films, all the Princesses have distinct similarities. All of them are the protagonists of their respective movies (with the exception of Princess Jasmine), all have the ability to communicate with animals (displaying a sign of goodness towards all creatures), all have beautiful singing voices, and all have a love interest that is resolved at the end of their movies. The first three (Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora) are victims of misfortune until their happy endings; the others (whose movies were created in the late 20th century) have strong personas and seek adventure in the unknown world. Most of the Disney Princesses' mothers have died, often when the Princess was a baby or small child. Unsurprisingly, all of the Princesses, who are either in their late teens or twenties, are known for their beauty in both their movies and the real world. The Walt Disney Company has released dolls, sing-along videos, and miniature doll castles featuring the Disney Princesses. Apart from them but not featured in any books and videos, there are Disney Princes who are the husbands of most of the princesses. ''Princess Party Palace'' (formerly known as ''The Princess Power Hour'') is the name of an ended block on Toon Disney . It aired episodes of '' Aladdin '' and '' The Little Mermaid ''. It started in 2000 under its original name, and underwent the name change in April 2004 when the network revamped itself. It ended in 2007. HISTORY In early 2000, when Andy Mooney was hired by Disney's Consumer Products division to help combat dropping sales, the idea for the Disney Princess franchise was born. Soon after joining Disney, Mooney attended his first “Disney on Ice” show. While waiting in line, he found himself surrounded by young girls dressed as princesses. “They weren’t even Disney products. They were generic princess products,” he mused. Soon after realizing the demand, the Disney Princess line was formed. Despite limited Advertising and no Focus Group s, the various Disney Princess items released became a huge success. Sales at Disney Consumer Products rose from $300 million in 2001 to $3 billion in 2006. Today there are over 25,000 products based on the franchise. |
