The speaker, Matthew Patrick, is discussing the Disney Princess franchise and its criteria for inclusion. He mentions that the franchise was created in the early 2000s and includes only a select portion of the princess characters from Disney's nearly hundred-year history. The franchise includes only eleven characters, which are: Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Pocahontas, and Mulan.
Patrick then discusses the criteria for becoming a Disney Princess. He mentions that not all princesses and Disney movies go on to become Disney Princesses. He also mentions that not all princesses are the daughters of a king or married to a prince. He gives examples of Pocahontas and Mulan, who technically don't qualify as princesses according to the dictionary definition, but are included in the Disney Princess franchise.
Patrick also discusses the exclusion of characters like Anna and Elsa from Frozen, Moana, and Merida from Brave. He mentions that these characters are not included in the Disney Princess franchise despite their popularity and heroic acts. He suggests that the criteria for becoming a Disney Princess might not be as simple as being an actual princess or having a romantic attachment.
Patrick concludes by discussing the controversy surrounding the costumes of the Disney Princesses, particularly Moana's, which is culturally sensitive and made from traditional Pacific Islander materials. He suggests that the goal of the Disney Princess franchise is to have young girls wear the dresses of the characters, which could be problematic when the costumes are cheaply copied and sold.
In the end, Patrick emphasizes that the Disney Princess franchise is a separate media franchise created by Disney and is not an accurate portrayal of all Disney female characters. He suggests that the criteria for becoming a Disney Princess might be more complex than what is currently known.
