What does Disney princess have to do with medieval?
They’re kids, not historians. Medieval means knights and princesses to them. Which means Disney princesses. Let them have fun.
Who said they couldn’t have fun? It’s just stupid that parents think Disney princess means medieval. And for the record, this isn’t true… there wouldn’t be actually no actual princesses and ALL Disney. It’s just a cute dumb story, sorry you fell for it.
Incel ass comment
Many of the Disney stories have been around in medieval Europe as folklore, so it’s not as much of a stretch as you suggest here
There’s a kid princess standing against the wall inside, not a Disney princess.
Yall believe way too many social media posts lol.
As pointed out in the comments, 2 maybe fit out of over a dozen plus.
That’s not many, and yes it would be asinine to assume that an entire school dressed up incorrectly. It’s not even a half believable story to begin with, as it makes no friggen sense lol.
It’s an exaggerated story to make it “worthwhile” to post to social media. Which do you think is more likely? A small lie, or an ENTIRE school dressed wrong for one sex, and yet this sole kid is a plague doctor? No female knights? People are way to gullible these days.
I don’t think Plant wanted to deny their fun, just curious what the connection was.
Probably because it’s much easier to find Disney princess costumes than medieval ones, plus (in the US at least) nobility of any type is almost exclusively associated with the medieval period outside of occasionally remembering that the British monarchy exists.
Well I know at least 2 of them that are iconic and from a medieval-looking settings.
Snow White and Cinderella.
Neither are really princesses though. They are just “Disney female lead”.
Mulan KINDA works.
what?
Their stories are about falling in love and end with them marrying princes. Making them princesses.
But also: Snow White was a princess from the very start. That’s why the witch needed her gone; to usurp her throne.
Mulan does not even KINDA work vs these two if you want more than just “female disney lead.”
Sleeping Beauty is also in a medieval setting and canonically a princess.
That’s who I wanted to mention instead of Cinderella. Could not remember the name tho. 🤣
I’ve not seen Brave, but I think it’s roughly tudor-period, and her dad’s a king, so I guess that also counts
Snow White and Sleeping Beauty are set in the medieval period, no?
Are they actual princesses though? The ones that are, aren’t in medieval times.
You could dress up as Princess Diana if it’s just “princesses”.
Are they actual princesses though?
Yep, they are included in the official princess lineup, which currently has 13 members.
Golden- and silver-era princesses:
- Snow White
- Cinderella
- Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)
Renaissance-era princesses:
- Ariel
- Belle
- Jasmine
- Pocahontas
- Mulan
Revival-era princesses:
- Tiana
- Rapunzel
- Merida (the only Pixar princess)
- Moana
- Raya
Note: Anna and Elsa were deemed “too successful” to be included in the princess franchise, and instead got their own “Frozen” franchise.
Umm those aren’t princesses…. Just Disney main lead that they use that term incorrectly for…
A princess is royalty who holds titles as well as duties. How many for the REAL definition, not Disney’s made up one?
How many for the REAL definition, not Disney’s made up one?
Does this really matter? It’s pedantry for the sake of it. We use terms like “princess” and “queen” colloquially to refer to groups with a shared identity, and they’re all made up. Whether they have a tangential relationship to royalty doesn’t really matter when you’re talking about aesthetics and archetypes.
I’d suggest using “royal princess” to separate the terms and move on. There are plenty of cultural reasons to use “Disney princess” as a symbol that only incidentally relates to the company or royalty.
You must be fun at parties
Hey, they specified medieval, not princesses. And you would be surprised I guess by the amount of people who wouldn’t mind having a discussion about the absurdity of it.
People like different parties ;) try going to one first maybe.
Totally stealing this idea for myself for next year. Gotta win that costume contest
Do one better. Go SCP-049
Medieval, commedia del’arte was 16th century wasn’t it?
a few years back, a friend of mine’s daughter dressed as Anne Boleyn, without her head 🤣
Good outfit for antifascist protests as well 🤘
historically accurate
