If/when they do a Latina princess (which would be awesome), all I ask is that they have Lin do the music for it again!  Man's a beast with the Latin music! (see: In the Heights)

I would also love for them to do Native American again, even though they did Pocahontas, because that movie was just.... a reeeeally not good depiction of what actually happened between the European settlers and Native Americans. I know the reality of it was way too dark for a Disney movie, but still... they could at least do a Native American movie that's more a celebration of the culture, like Moana is for the Polynesian culture, rather than trying to make the history of genocide that happened when Europeans entered the picture seem all fine and dandy.

A latina princess wouldn't make sense. Latin American countries are republics. The closest thing would be a Spanish princess since Spain is a monarchy.

Of course it would. And does, since they already have a Latina Princess. It's fantasy. Arendelle is inspired by Norway, but it's not Norway and ice powers and living snowmen don't actually exist in Norway or anywhere else. Similarly, Avalor was inspired by Mexico, which is where Princess Elena is from and rules.

How about a Texan or New York princess then?

reply

They had a New Orleans princess, so why not?

reply

Elena is pretty, but doesn't really count unless she gets her own film. Until then, she is a wanna be knock off princess. And I say that as a Latino who wants to see a Spanish/Latina princess.

They already have a Latina Princess (she debuted earlier this year), Princess Elena (voiced by Aimee Carrero), but she's in a Disney Princesses ongoing TV series Elena of Avalor instead of in a major movie: http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Princess_Elena

There's too many to name.

They're working on a Latina next.

I'd like to see them do a Canadian story.

reply

Does Winnie the Pooh count? I remember those Canadian Heritage TV spots...

I guess technically that would make Winnie a Canadian character but they don't get into any Canadian culture with Winnie The Pooh. You know what I mean?

reply

I would like to see an African or Australian native.

reply

I'm wondering why they haven't done an Indian princess (from India).

I want to see them make Latin/Hispanic descent movie. Pixar is working on a film called Coco, which focuses on Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). As someone who is Hispanic, Mexican-American to be exact, sounds really interesting.

Dormammu, I've come to bargain.

reply

Do you consider "The Emperor's New Groove" latin or amerindian?

reply

They haven't done a Jewish princess, yet.
