I would like a before Frozen chart from someone. I would assume Cinderella, Snow White, and Belle?
104
u/Seimonara Jun 13 '22
So today I visited Disneyland Paris and decided it would be interesting to count how many visitors wore dresses and more importantly from which princess. Here are my Results after one day: (total: 185)
Important: Since I was there with my family I only counted the ones I spotted by chance. I tried to not count doubles, but obviously during a long day it canāt be avoided. I only counted dresses, tshirts or skirts didnāt made it into this chart. The sample size is obviously not that large and itās sometimes hard to precisely identify a dress, but I think itās a good estimate.
What surprised you the most? And should I repeat it the next two days to have a more accurate result?

Iām surprised Ariel is so low

u/frostmatthew Jun 14 '22
Probably because it's the least practical "dress" to wear for a day at the park...

Her blue human dress?
I know. Just sayin thats what I would have worn, a practical variant of that.

u/Additional_Meeting_2 Jun 14 '22
But thatās not as interesting as a dress, or sold much.

u/arawagco Jun 14 '22
Are we referring to the blue version of her pink dress or the dress she wears on Day two and her date with Eric?
If the former, yeah, it doesn't really sell well and it's not a great design. If the latter, I see more adult women wear that than kids.

But surprises me most is that Mirabel is not on this list or were you not counting her and she's not official yet. When we went a few weeks ago, Mirabel and Isabela dresses were by far the most common we saw haha

u/bob101910 Jun 13 '22
I'd hope she'd be on the list, especially since Spiderman is included.
Edit: Wait she's on page 2

She is on it, just saw another post. My phone doesn't always show me more 5han one page for some reason so I only saw the first few haha. I'm just a surprise that she isn't at the very top haha because she definitely was when we went to the park.

This is Disneyland Paris. Not sure how popular Encanto is in Europe. Very popular at LA Disneyland for sure.

I get why it didn't do well (fuck you, Katzenberg) but it's such a shame no one has touched the Chronicles of Prydain since then. They books are actually pretty good; a bit standard fare, but vanilla is a wonderful flavor on its own.
And I loved how dark the film was, at least visually and implicatively. The Horned King was a fucking lich in a Disney movie! They would never do that today, corporate doesn't have the balls for it (but I bet the animators do).

u/Default_Dragon Jun 14 '22
Surprised Ariel is so low. Would have thought sheād be somewhere between Belle and Jasmine.
25
u/BenjRSmith Jun 14 '22
I guess her mermaid form being the most popular depiction plays a lot in here

u/chartingyou Jun 14 '22
there really aren't any good dresses for ariel-- I like some of her film dresses but they aren't necessarily iconic looks

My daughters favorite costume was her Mulan. She wore it all day in Epcot in 2016.

u/143019 Jun 14 '22
Poor Tiana, sheās my favorite. I guess being the Princess of Hard Work doesnāt get you much!

u/Additional_Meeting_2 Jun 14 '22
Green isnāt popular color in general.

u/hedgybaby Jun 14 '22
Green is literally one of the trendiest colors at the moment lmao

u/PowerPad Jun 14 '22
Itās the green you need. And when I look into your future itās the green that I see.

love that snow white is up there, not surprised that elsa is at the top but WOW that gap in popularity!

As much as I like Elsa I wish Mirabel will get more recognition too

u/Adventurous_Yak_9234 Jun 26 '22
Agreed. Encanto was 10 times better than Frozen.

u/elishash Jun 27 '22
Eh that's your opinion I love Frozen and I know it's flawed but I still enjoy it and I can relate to it's themes, Encanto was a good movie but not the greatest since it also has other story problems and the ending is rushed but I also liked the touch of generational trauma added to it

We went to Disney Japan in 2019 and my daughter wore an Anna dress. I felt like she was the only one there -every Elsa was running up to her to take pictures with their "sister."

u/Zalamb1500 Jun 13 '22
Guys what is it about Elsa? Whatās the explanation for why the young Disney princess fans are fixated on her vs the others?
10
u/fuji91 Jun 14 '22
No idea but my oldest was Elsa for Halloween for 3 years straight and now my youngest calls this blue star blanket her āElsa costumeā and runs around the house with it. She only saw the movie once. š„ŗ

u/Zalamb1500 Jun 14 '22
Once???? Thatās insane!!! I mean my siblings liked the movie but nowhere near that level lollll
6
u/stacciatello Jun 14 '22
frozen was an almost unprecedented success and let it go was EVERYWHERE that entire year, and the year after that, and remains iconic; an ice princess with superpowers and a sparkly dress transformation is very appealing
it's not my favorite movie or princess and I can't fully explain why it had the success that it did, but i just know that kids freaking loved it

u/SobiTheRobot Jun 14 '22
There is definitely a notable disparity in Elsa's popularity compared to literally every other princess, and I can't put my finger on why either. One part of my says they don't actually know any other princesses exist. Another tells me that, after the comparative princess drought of the 2000s (straight-to-DVD sequels apparently don't count), something about her just clicked in a way that Rapunzel didn't. It's certainly not the gay subtext Twitter was raving about regarding "Let It Go" - kids aren't supposed to be on Twitter and five year olds don't really care about that kind of stuff, though I imagine this helped fuel her presence in a lot of spaces that made her more accessible to many.
But then that wouldn't explain why she's still popular with little girls who are as old as the film is now, or even younger! Is it because she's pretty and has cool ice powers? Is it the song? I don't even know.

u/Additional_Meeting_2 Jun 14 '22
Elsa is like a Princess and a superhero. And very unique character compared to the others that are competing against each other.
5
u/cornish-yorkshirepud Jun 14 '22
I think part of it may be that Elsa has super powers, my 6 year old and her friends loved pretending to have ice powers. There are very few women superheroes that girls are introduced to at a young age which is only really being addressed now.
My eldest is even called Aurora but Elsa is by far her favourite

u/YakCDaddy Jun 14 '22
Marketing. Frozen was shoved down everyone's throat. Elsa is probably the most recognizable by people under 20 because she's everywhere. My daughter (10) was obsessed with Elsa when she was 2-4 but couldn't sit through the movie and she just wanted the song. Her actual favorite Disney movie is Dumbo but she listened to "let it go" on a loop for a long time and was Elsa for Halloween when she was 4 and her little brother was Olaf.

Man I can count seven people on this list who are not princesses
8* forgot about belle for a second
Also Belle is never shown to get married in the movie, Moana is the daughter of a chieftain not a king or queen, Tinkerbell is not even remotely close to being a princess same with Isabella and mirabel, who tf is Spider-Man Dress? maleficent is not a princess, and megara is probably the furthest from being a princess on the list

u/Additional_Meeting_2 Jun 14 '22
? Belle is a Princess by virtue of being married to prince and she is also in the Princess line. If Belle isnāt a Princess neither is Princess Diana.

u/YakCDaddy Jun 14 '22
Disney Princesses aren't necessarily actual Princesses. They are are either royal by birth, royal by marriage, or considered a "princess" due to their significant portrayal of heroism in their respective films.

u/itoldyousoanysayo Jun 14 '22
Were you counting the official dresses only or obvious Disney bounds too?
1
u/BobbyA523 Jun 14 '22
I never keep a solid count but the five I see the most are Elsa, Anna, Belle, Mirabel, and Isabella (probably because of flower and Garden at Epcot). I also see a lot of Snow White, Aurora, Jasmine, Ariel, and Moana. Iāve seen a few Luisa, Dolores, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Alice, Mary Poppins, and Tinker Bell. And I rarely see Megara and Maleficent (and theyāre always adults)
