At first I was kind of jealous of there being an age limit.
But then I clicked on the link and didn't feel quite so jealous anymore.

These don't look creepy. They look exquisitely magical.

Some people just don't have a princess face apparently......

I am torn about this. I kind of want one for my daughter. On the other hand though, if this picture indicates their best results... That does not bode well.

Um, just a little creepy. Somehow I think those girls are going to regret begging their parents for those figures in 10+ years.

Disney doesn't care about how creepy they look. They know that many pixie snorting parents with their little princess in training will drop that money in a heartbeat. Its all about the $$$$

I am 100% certain they will indeed have that when "Pandora - the World of Avatar" opens in a few years. Your very own Avatar action figure.

You should write Disney and tell them how you feel. Make your voice heard!

You know that Disney is a publicly-traded corporation with stockholders, right? Saying it's "all about the $$$$" is just ridiculous. Do you spend all day saying this to every business you pass or see advertising on TV?
Disney offers a wide range of products. As a consumer, you can choose to buy or not buy whatever you want. I like that these little figurines are being offered though I have no intention of ever buying one. I also like looking through the SkyMall, Brookstone, and Hammecher Schlemmer catalogs and marveling at all the high-end gadgets and gizmos they have a plenty. I've never ordered any of them because I'd rather spend my extra money on vacations, not trinkets and nicknacks.
But none of the things offered for sale that I have no intention of buying ever make me angry they are being sold.

Isn't Merida supposed to become a Disney Princess soon? Wouldn't that make eleven?

They have an induction ceremony every so often. They just had Rapunzel's. She made 10 for the Princess Club. Merida will be inducted in the future I am sure. Still wondering if "Frozen" will have a princess in it or just the Snow Queen as the villain.

Thanks, and I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that the Snow Queen will become the twelfth "princess" in the Disney Princess line. That may or may not change in the future, though.

That would be interesting. It would be the first "queen" in the line, as the rest are all princesses, not queens (even though Mulan is not even a princess, technically). I picture the Snow Queen as a villain and much older than the princesses.
But I know almost nothing about "Frozen" or the Snow Queen story it's loosely based on. Will have to wait and see what comes out in the future about all this.

I was going to link you to some concept art that's been leaked/released for Frozen (well, I still am, haha), but then I read the little paragraph in the article. I'm going out on a limb in saying that "Anna" will wind up being Disney's newest princess instead, perhaps after she defeats the Snow Queen... but I'm going to assume Disney will come up with a less predictable plot for the film and surprise us instead.
Regardless, here's the article/concept art:

Thanks for this!
Not sure how they can make Anna a "princess"...she looks like a peasant girl. Maybe after defeating the current Snow Queen she becomes a Snow Princess?
I think the next full-fledged Disney princess will be a Hispanic one based on a Spanish fairytale. I don't know of one, but there must be a Spanish story about a princess that Disney can turn into a cartoon to more or less complete the princess line with a character that is every ethnicity (before doing another Asian princess who is this time Japanese or Korean or something instead of Chinese, to widen that demographic a little).

You're most certainly welcome!
Yes, that's what I was thinking as well. It seems a little reminiscent to The Wizard of Oz, in my opinion, however, but I trust that Walt Disney Animation won't disappoint. I have good feelings about all of their upcoming animated features, especially Wreck-It Ralph (I am so incredibly stoked for that film, it's not even funny!).
I agree, they should include a Hispanic or at the very least some sort of Spanish princess in their next princess film, although I hear that Frozen will be the last of their princess films for a while yet (then again, they said that about The Princess and the Frog and then Brave, so...).
I hope I don't cause too much of a stir in the boiling pot or a lot of anger/hate by saying this, but I actually wouldn't mind if Disney were to be gutsy enough to make an animated feature that features a L/G/B/T prince/princess. I already know it will be highly unlikely, I at least know that much, but you'd be surprised at how much support of this has gone around on the internet. While it's not the most concrete or reliable of sources, a post on tumblr has gotten well over seven million (possibly eight at this point) hits in support.

My son is gay and he got into trouble his senior year in Catholic school by doing his senior thesis report on King Ludwig of Bavaria. The teacher didn't like that he talked about Ludwig being gay in the report. I had to go down for a parent-teacher meeting and crack some skulls over that.
Ever since then, I've thought that King Ludwig would one day be a Disney prince for some reason. It might be 20 years from now, but his life had an interesting tale that could be easily changed into a fairytale. Having a princess forced on him that he had to marry but he really loved first this other german prince and then this stable boy. And Ludwig built some of the castles that captivated Walt Disney and led to the Disney castles being created...the most fanciful castles built since Ludwig's day.
It could make a very interesting Disney animated movie one day in the future, where instead of choosing the princess the prince chooses the stable boy and together they break the spell or defeat the witch or whatever. Maybe the princess in this story is evil and she ends up being a villain the way Gaston looked attractive but was a villain.
I don't know, but my point is that one day a cartoon like this will be made by Disney...even if that one day is 30 or 40 years from now. I hope I am alive to see it and have faculties enough at that age to understand what I am watching!

Meh, I've always had a bad taste in my mouth when it came to Catholic or private schools. I attended a private school when I was younger and the teachers would take away my juice boxes because it advertised Harry Potter (it was just beginning to rise in popularity in the US at the time), and when my older sister was in school they permanently confiscated her copy of Song of the South, so this somehow doesn't surprise me. Good for you! It sounded like they needed some sense knocked into them!
I will admit, I've never heard of King Ludwig's tale or his influence on the iconic architecture in all of the parks. It's quite an interesting story that I'll definitely have to research further into, and it'd make for a great animated film!
I sure do hope so, Patricia. When the day does come that this animated feature is released, you can bet all the money in the world that I'll be there during the premiere, as it'd likely be a very important day in cinematic history. Hopefully you'll be watching the premiere, too.
