The first animated Disney film was released in the 1930s, and its titular character became the first Disney Princess of all time. The last addition to the ensemble happened with the release of Brave in 2012, which brought Merida in as the eleventh official Disney Princess. In spite of its popularity and the fact that they're the offspring of a king and queen, the sisters from Frozen are not considered to be official Disney Princesses.
The definition of what makes a character into a Disney Princess is greatly debated. In fact, in her eponymous film debut, Moana gets into an argument with her sidekick Maui about whether or not she is a princess. She defiantly states that she is the daughter of a chief, calling to mind the titular main character of Pocahontas, who was the seventh Disney Princess.
Maui's retort of “Look, if you wear a dress and have an animal sidekick, you’re a princess,” calls attention to the fact that many of the Disney Princesses aren't even members of a ruling family prior to their wedding, which often takes place at the end of the movie, so they weren't anything princess-adjacent for the majority of their story.
The fact that Moana and the girls from Frozen were featured in Wreck-It-Ralph with the Disney Princesses sort of makes it confusing, but the official line-up includes only eleven girls. It encompasses a wide variety of girls from many different places with different backgrounds, including Belle, Snow White, Jasmine, Aurora, Rapunzel, Merida, Mulan, Ariel, Cinderella, Pocahontas, and Tiana!
Which Disney Princess is not the main character of their movie?
More often than not, a Disney Princess is the focal point of her movie's storyline. She's also usually the titular character, like Snow White and Cinderella, or at least the inspiration behind the movie's title, like Sleeping Beauty or The Little Mermaid. That isn't always the case, though! Out of a total of eleven official Disney Princesses, one of them is neither the main nor titular character of her debut movie. That doesn't make her any less of a Disney Princess, though!
Which of these girls was a princess before she married a prince?
The characters featured in the official Disney Princess line come from a wide variety of different backgrounds. Some were born into their princess role, like Snow White, although they didn't always know it, like Rapunzel and Aurora. Others weren't technically princesses, although they were something equivalent in their own culture, like Pocahontas, who was the daughter of a Native American chief, and Jasmine, who was the daughter of a Sultan. There are even girls who aren't even princess-adjacent by birth who come from pure commoner roots before their marriage!
