    From what I undertsand XD is mainly for boys 7-12*. Girls are expected to have dropped cartoons and gone to the Disney Channel sitcoms by then (honestly I consider a lot of them worse than the snarky cartoons due to bein just as snarky while being family focused which leads to a lot fo dysfunctional setups). The under

    Her coloring books sell out faster than everyone but the new seasonal (read:new movie) ones where I work. She’s pretty much the only one we get weekly.

    Ahsoka Tano isn’t evena Twilek she’s Torguta. Turn in your nerd card! (not really)

    Dory, Rey, Judy, Ariel, Sophia, Elsa, Anna. Other than Ariel that’s the most recent ladies (and Ariel almost always shows up in the summer to stamp on swimsuits). My guess would be Moana’s going to get a pre-Christmas push given her movie comes out at Thanksgiving and will probably dethrone a lot of the Frozen stuff

    Don’t you know Ari? No woman ever acts in a feminine way or likes girly things of her own volition! It’s all the fault of men creating it!

    Exactly.

    THIS. I loved my Barbies...to act out Nancy Drew mysteries and superhero plots. I adored Jasmine, Mulan, Belle, and yet also Power Rangers, Mighty Ducks, and Wild West COW Boys on Moo Mesa (I woke up at four am to watch that last one). Even if a kid likes princess stuff, you see them wearing princess T-shirts, I

    Kay, bye.

    Your local Disney store right now. They’ve got some great dresses for every single one of them for Halloween already. Saw them when I got my Rey action figure just two days ago. Also had Judy’s vest, Rey’s whole outfit, Leia’s ANH outfit, and Vanellope’s hoodie.

    I am a feminist you dipshit. And girls can be girly if they want or they can be tomboys or whatever else. I’m not even girly but yeah, I like Belle, Mulan, Elsa, Merida, Jasmine, and Tiana. Oh noes! I’ve betrayed feminists everywhere by liking a well written princess character! Whatever shall I do!

    Mozenrath was such a good villain. I wish they’d gone with the idea of making him Aladin’s brother...but that ight have made the third movie awkward. I mean Al’s dad was having a hard enough time with Al, Mo would have just screwed everything up.

    Nope. She’s also the first one to wear a red dress. My love of color coordination defeats your snark, Dark Lord Ari.

    I’m an adult too, honey, and one hell of an animation nerd. And all I hear is “Wah. Wah. Little girls like stories I don’t. Wah.”

    Edit: reread your comment, you knew about the show.

    Given she’s been shown saving her friends who were held hostage on a ship and swordfighting while driving a carriage not so much. XD

    The Aristocats is a GOLDMINE of reused animation. It’s hilarious.

    ...You mean Vanellope Von Schweetz? Who is a president because she did not want to be a princess? That Disney girl? Her?

    Actual hand drawn? Probably never since that takes a lot of money, more than most shows would make back. As for movies, 2D animation seems to have fallen out of favor with general audiences in the states (some surveys I’ve seen indicate it’s seen as more childish/for kids only—this is why the recent Spongebob movie

    To be fair her grandparents are in the picture and the whole point is her having to rule so like Elsa the royal parents kinda can’t be around to make that work. Sophia’s the TV princess with parents.

    Really? They often had them back to back as the Princess Power Hour (admittedly with some slip ups as they sometimes used Aladdin episodes Jasmine wasn’t in)
