Why Mulan is consider oficially like one of the Disney Princess?

The truth is that she appeals to minorities. Disney has to keep with the times. That's the reason the Tiana is African American. Lots of people have been complaining that there is no black princess. Mulan made a lot of little girls happy just as Tiana will make another group of girls happy. In no time we'll have our first Latina princess/herione.

Well, Mulan should be considered a princess because she has all the traits, and girls in a certain age group think of her as a role model, thus giving her the image of a princess. Even though she wasn't born into royalty like Ariel or Aurora, or even Rapunzel, she should still be considered a princess. She's honorable, and defiant, strong and courageous. Those are all qualities of a princess.

I agree. I think that's exactly why she was added to the lineup.

Same. All those girls, whether born into royalty or not, should be considered princesses because of the traits they hold. Their role models.

Oh for a number of reasons. She's a female teenager in a fairy tale story/legend, she stands for feminist values while still maintaining femaninity, but largely to help chip away at the number of minorities the Disney Princess Franchise needs to appease.

The frame of mind is that these women are first and foremost role models and that any girl can be a princess.

I don't agree with this but hey...it's all about merchandizing.

I have often wondered this as well - I don't class her as a princess but if everyone is than I think we should include Meg and Esmeralda as well - Meg married a god (higher than a prince) and Esmeralda married a general (like Mulan) so I don't see why they're never included

I think a Disney Princess does not necessarily have to be royalty, or even a princess. She's just Disney royalty. I think they more or less mean disney heroines, or just in general all the Disney Female Leads. But saying "Disney Princess" is more marketable.

well but not all are considerer a Disney Princess, oficially by Disney only 8 girs are princess, Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, Ariel, Pocahontas and Mulan, they don't add all the Disney Female because Alice, Meg or Esmeralda aren´t oficially consider like a Disney Princess
