After all, can Mirabel be considered a Disney princess?

Being one of the most popular franchises in the animation universe, Disney Princesses currently consists of 12 characters: Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida and Moana.

To be part of this select group, the characters need to follow a series of rules imposed by Disney, including being part of an animation, being human (or at least half human), being born a princess, marrying someone royalty or committing some heroic act. , being the lead in her own movie as long as it’s not a sequel, and giving the studio a good economic return.

It is worth remembering that, despite perfectly fitting the rules, Anna and Elsa, from “Frozen”, are not part of the group for two reasons: both were crowned as queens in their stories, and the franchise already raises good money for Disney alone, without having to team up with other characters.

However, many fans still question the lack of presence of some of the protagonists of recent studio releases, such as Mirabel, the protagonist of the film “Encanto”, released in early 2022.

Can Mirabel be a princess?

As the Disney Plus Brazil portal found out, if we stop to analyze the rules to be part of the Disney Princess franchise, Mirabel could fit into many of them, such as the heroic act, since, alongside her uncle Bruno, she was responsible for save the Casita and get her family back together. Not to mention the fact that she’s human, the protagonist of her own story, and made a huge profit for the studio.

In addition, according to an article published on the Looper website, although the Madrigals are not officially royalty, it is possible to understand their importance within the community — very similar to that of a royal family. Anyway, so far, unfortunately, Disney has yet to reveal whether it intends to turn Mirabel into one of the princesses.
