The Disney Princess Mania: Has Disney Taken It Too Far?

Whenever I take my two young daughters shopping, we are bombarded with Disney Princesses around every corner we turn. You can't even go to the grocery store without running into those lovely beauties, even in the checkout line. You name the item, Disney has found a way to license it with their princess brand. Of course you can find a large selection of Disney brand princess dresses and dolls at most toy stores. Now this makes sense. But what about princess mechanical pencils? Or princess ear muffs? Has Disney gone too far?

disney princess dress up

Most little girls can name all the Disney princesses by the time they turn three, even before they can count to 20 or name their colors. I'm sure you've heard of them... Cinderella, Belle from Beauty & the Beast, and Sleeping Beauty. These three beauties you see together in most Disney Princess photo ops. Snow White, the Little Mermaid Ariel and Tiana from the Princess and the Frog, rotate in and out of the Disney lineup. I guess they are the second class princesses.

DISNEY

Throughout my childhood and early adulthood, I associated the Disney brand with very high quality products. They know how to do it right when it comes to their amusement parks and movies. You just can't beat those Disney experiences. Back 30 years ago, Disney licensed products were much more difficult to come by, and a trip to Disneyland meant coming home with a bag full of wonderful merchandise. What a special treat! These days, a trip to any "dollar store" can result in a bag full of Disney merchandise. How does that affect your Disney experience?

You can now purchase a wide range of Disney Princess merchandise to use from cradle to grave. It is not limited to just princess dresses and dolls for young girls anymore. Literally, you can start off your little bambino with Disney Princess burp cloths and bibs. And as your little one ages, she can purchase Disney pill boxes for those later years of her life. I searched in vain to find a Disney cremation urn...no such luck. I was glad to see that they've drawn the line there.

This Disney Princess mania had me searching the web to find the 10 most ridiculous Disney Princess items available. OK, so here we go:

10. Berry bliss lotion
9. Jumbo singing foil balloon
8. Tissues
7. Flavored lip balm
6. Document holder
5. Lanyard
4. Clipboard
3. Snuggies® - Really? Yep!
2. White household glue
1. Beauty & the Beast Eau de toilette for women

We want to hear from you. Do you think that Disney Princess licensed products for just about everything you can buy helps or hurts the Disney brand? Also, what are the most ridiculous Disney products that you can find that are branded with their lovely princesses?

The writer of this article has no affiliation whatsoever with Disney or any of the Disney branded products.

History of Disney's Princess Fairy Tales

Disney is well known for their beautifully animated fairy tales and the characters from them that have captivated us, just as much as its icon mouse since 1928. Something that many people do not know about our treasured Disney Princess stories from the Walt Disney Company is that many of them were based on already existing works.

disney princess tv

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

DISNEY

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first animated feature film produced by Walt Disney in 1937. The film was originally based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm titled 'Snow White'. The Brothers Grimm, Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm were German academics and were responsible for many popular fairy tales that include 'Rumpelstiltskin', 'Rapunzel', 'Hansel and Gretel' and 'The Frog Prince'.

Cinderella

Cinderella was released in 1950 and produced by Walt Disney. The story of Cinderella has been recorded in many works throughout history with versions included from Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. Disney's animated film was most likened to Charles Perrault's fairy tale. Charles Perrault was a French author and published many fairy tales and his works include 'Puss in Boots' and 'Little Red Riding Hood'.

Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty was produced by Walt Disney and released to theaters in 1959. The Disney story of Sleeping Beauty was also based on the Charles Perrault works from his fairy tale titled 'Sleeping Beauty'.

The Little Mermaid

The Little Mermaid was released in 1989. The Disney story of The Little Mermaid was originally based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale titled 'The Little Mermaid'. Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author and poet and his works consisted of many well known fairy tales that include 'The Ugly Duckling', 'Thumbelina', 'The Princess and the Pea', 'The Emperor's New Clothes' (of which Disney based their animated feature film 'The Emperor's New Groove') and many more famous stories.

Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast was released by Disney in 1991. The story of Beauty and the Beast was originally based on the traditional fairy tale titled 'Beauty and the Beast' by French author Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve and abridged and republished by French author Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont.

The Disney adaptations of these earlier recognized stories have enabled children to experience the stories through the latest developments and technologies of visual media. Throughout history these stories in their original written and subsequent adapted visual forms have given great enjoyment to children and adults alike.

Disney Princess Bedrooms - Great Ideas

If you're looking to decorate or redecorate your daughter's bedroom, one great idea you can use is to choose one of her favorite characters. If she is a big fan of a certain character - for example a Disney princess, you can easily decorate her room so that when she walks into it, she will feel like a princess with her Disney princess decorated bedroom.

disney costumes

How can you decorate a bedroom in a specific character, such as a Disney princess (or multiple princesses)? There are many great ways. First off, you can decorate the walls. Paint the room in a color that goes with princesses. If you do this, you can get a border that goes at the top of the walls with princesses on it. You can also find great Disney wallpaper that has all of her favorite princess on it. If you're really ambitious, you can even paint Disney items or princesses on the walls.

DISNEY

Once you have the walls painted or wallpapered, you can put posters or Disney art on the walls of the princesses. You can choose from many different ideas, such as pictures of the princesses themselves, or of their castles.

At this point, you have the walls taken care of. You can then move onto the bed, where you can choose between many different sheet sets, pillows, blankets, comforters, and more. You would be very surprised at all of the choices you will have for each item! You can choose between different characters, colors, and more.

By now, most of the room will be redecorated. You can always add other small touches such as toys, Disney princess figurines, and more. Your daughter will be happy and thrilled each and every time she walks into her bedroom from then on.

Jessica Mele loves everything Disney, and can help you find all of the Disney Princess Bedroom Items you are looking for.

disney movies

The Disney Princesses come from the Disney Movies. Some of them are really classic movies. Sleeping Beauty and Snow White were made way back in forties and fifties. Both are cartoon movies based on classic fairy tales. Sleeping Beauty was a princess put to sleep with her entire kingdom for hundreds of years until a prince from another kingdom discovered her and kissed her thus breaking the spell on her. Snow White is a very beautiful princess with a jealous stepmother who is also a witch. Her stepmother was so jealous of her that she tries to have her killed. Snow White survived and went to live with the seven dwarfs in the woods. Eventually her prince charming cam along and married Snow White saving her from the evil stepmother.

DISNEY

More recent movies from Disney have featured exotic locations and unusual princesses. Ariel was a mermaid who sought the help of the evil Ursula to get legs so she could walk on land and meet with her human prince. Ursula turned the tables on Ariel and she almost lost her prince and her life, but in the end her prince helped save the day. Jasmine was an Arabian princess and daughter of a rich Sultan. She fell in love with Aladdin and lived happily ever after. If you do the research you'll find the stories behind all the Disney Princesses and have lots of party fun.

How To Create The Perfect Disney Princess Room

There's Snow White and Cinderella, Aurora (better known as Sleeping Beauty) and Ariel, there's Aladdin's Jasmine and the Beast's Belle. Role models for your little princess are everywhere she looks. Which is why it only makes sense to give her a bedroom that makes her feel like fairy tale royalty.

At the Heart of It All: The Bed

DISNEY ENTERPRISE

At the core of every princess's private chambers is her bed. A bed for a little princess might be (or look like) be a four poster bed, maybe a canopy bed, maybe both. Custom theme beds can be designed to look like anything you wish, and it is nowhere more apparent than in a princess themed bedroom.

Long flowing fabrics, plush pillows, satiny bedding, frilly lace borders - all of these help complete the image of bed fit for a princess. But with a custom theme bed, the fantasy doesn't stop there. For that bed can be placed behind a drawbridge inside a magnificent flower and vine covered castle or it can be placed inside a splendid horse-drawn carriage (pumpkin shaped or otherwise).

Whether you select a princess castle bed, a horse-drawn carriage bed, or a custom theme bed of some other design, the fact remains that your little girl will be elated to bed down at night and will wake up each morning feeling like the queen-in-waiting that she is.

Colors for a Princess Themed Bedroom: Pretty in Pink

Though purple and gold are considered royal colors, they would be better used as accents in a room dominated by the color that dominates most little princess's fantasies - pink. A pink castle bed, for example, will make any little princess's eyes sparkle. Pink bedding, pink window coverings, pink lighting fixtures, pink carpeting, and pink supplementary furniture all only complement and complete the picture.

Then consider using white highlights throughout the room to neutralize the impact of all that pink.

Murals Make it Easy

Both on the walls of the bedroom as well as on the walls of the custom theme bed, painted murals are an easy way to incorporate a wide array of fantastical elements into your little girl's fairy tale world. From her dashing prince or knight in shining armor to her animated attendants to all the extravagant accoutrements of a perfect princess fantasy, a simple brush and paint make magic-making easy.

Furniture for a Princess Themed Bedroom

A little princess always has to be looking her best, so an ample wardrobe and dressing table with mirror are the two essential furniture elements to add to any princess themed bedroom. You could go ahead and furnish each of these pieces separately with no trouble, but another option is to have a wardrobe and dressing table built in to her custom theme bed.

How To Create The Perfect Disney Princess Room

Interior designer Joanna Means brings to every custom theme bed she designs her love of children and a desire to help bring their fantasies to life. For many years, she has designed fantasy princess theme beds that her husband, master carpenter Johnny Means, then builds to masterful perfection. With their custom castle beds, custom horse and carriage beds and other fantasy themed beds, Joann and Johnny have brought delight to little girls all over the world, which is why they created Sweet Dream Children's Interiors, http://www.sweetdreambed.com

Every last one of the fantasy princess beds at Sweet Dream Children's Interiors, http://www.sweetdreambed.com can be customized to fulfill your requirements as a loving parent without sacrificing any fulfillment of your little princess's desires. Together with their craftsmanship and design expertise, you will be able to set the stage for a fairy tale storybook adventure every bit as special as your little girl.

Like so many of the Walt Disney fairy tales and stories adapted to animated feature films, the story of Sleeping Beauty is based on the classic works of Charles Perrault and his fairy tale titled 'Sleeping Beauty'.

Disney Princess and Me

The 18 inch doll is available in 5 different princesses; Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Ariel from Little Mermaid, Tiana from The Princess and the Frog and Cinderella. Each doll comes with a ball gown, pair of shoes, pair of earrings, tiara, 4 ½" full-color, princess magazine, royal invitation and honorary princess certificate. They are priced slightly under dollars.

disney dvd

An exceptional attention to detail makes these dolls worth every cent. Each princess' face is handcrafted and based off the original animated film. They use Macor eyes which contain varying hues to mimic human eyes and are of the highest quality. For skin, the dolls have a matte porcelain finish. The beautiful hand-rooted hair, Kanekalon, is imported from Japan and of a quality matching that of the most expensive hair extensions and wigs.

DISNEY

The Disney Princess and Me dolls are able to move and pose in a manner which allows for hours of creative play, like tea parties, grand balls and other princess activities that her owner has imagined. The dolls have 6 different ball joints, placed at the neck, each shoulder, the waist and hips for a wide range of motion and flexibility.

Great care has been taken to create the beautiful ball gowns. Satin, organza, velveteen and sheer fabrics combine to create the collection. The designers paid meticulous attention to the glittered accents and metallic trim work. Additional garments are available to purchase as well as a tea set, wardrobe, canopy bed and vanity set.

To ensure authenticity, each doll has been stamped with a trademark trust stamp. The stamp is easily located on the foot. Every dress is also labeled with the same trust stamp. Customers will have no doubts that they are purchasing a real Princess and Me doll.

I would not recommend the dolls for little girls that aren't really that interested in princesses and dolls. Only because they would not appreciate the craftsmanship and there are plenty of other versions of Disney princesses available for a fraction of the cost.

On the other hand, these dolls are perfect for little girls who love anything Disney Princess and have a passion for dolls. The Disney Princess and Me dolls are a must have addition for collectors or avid Disney fans.

Overall, it is a high quality product which has been crafted to be the most realistic replica of the Disney princesses on the market. They are beautiful and everything a princess doll should be.

Disney's Rapunzel Is Becoming an Official Disney Princess

It wasn't so long ago when Disney's 'Tangled' hit the big screen as the studios 50th film and wowing audiences with its 3D animation. This was a risky step for Disney as they would be compared against 3D animation veterans Pixar and Dreamworks. However, this was by no means a competition. The film had mixed reviews but was well received overall. Despite the change Disney had made, they still kept the magic and that special formula everyone loves. Besides, if it's not broke; don't fix it and this is exactly what Disney did. They played to their strengths and produced the one thing they're best at; a heart-warming fairy-tale.

disney princess

The step towards 3D could be regarded as many things. Is Disney trying to keep up with the other studios animation techniques? Has 2D become less popular as a result? Or is this merely a tip of the hat towards Pixar and the ilk? I like to think it's the later. Yes, this was a risk for Disney, but the animation they created rivalled even that of Pixar. The reason for this is obvious when watching the film, but one thing stands out from the rest of the film. Every Disney movie will have songs in it, it's like a Disney rule and this can be seen as an obstacle for the animators, but they took on the challenge and produced something that looks flawless and may get you believing it was done with human actors initially.

DISNEY

The new Disney Princess, Rapunzel, is the star of 'Tangled' and will be the 10th member, joining Arial, Aurora, Belle, Cinderalla, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Snow White and Tiana. This will mean that Rapunzel will be included in the merchandise line as well as getting her own.

To celebrate this, Disney have organised a celebration to welcome Rapunzel as a princess in London at Kensington Palace and Hyde Park, where girls of all ages will be able to join the party. But this is more than a celebration, it is also to educate children on real-life kings, queens and princesses.

"Our aim is to help everyone explore the stories of how monarchs and other royals have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built," added Ruth Gill, Head of Interpretation at Historic Royal Palaces.

It is no surprise that London would be centre stage for this event. Following the Royal Wedding and the Queen's Birthday, it is clear that London knows how to celebrate in Royal style, fitting for any Disney Princess.

All the other Disney Princesses will be joining Rapunzel at the celebrations followed by a procession through Hyde Park. Suffice it to say this will be a must-see event for Disney Fans.

Finally, this will also mean that guests to Disney parks will be able to meet Rapunzel wearing the stolen tiara, which was stolen by Flynn Rider in the film.
