Still, two princesses were removed from it in 2005: Tinker Bell and Esmeralda. The reasons why they made the list in the first place are not entirely clear, since they are neither main characters in their films nor do they have royal heritage.
She was once an official Disney Princess, until 2008. She was removed because unlike the other princesses, Esmeralda was not as popular and her products did not sell as much.
According to the most common theory behind her removal, she was deemed not marketable to or suitable for kids. It wouldn't be fair to blame Esmeralda herself for that—she's as kind-hearted, clever, and intrepid as any card-carrying Disney Princess. But The Hunchback of Notre Dame is infamous for its mature themes.
She was just an ordinary citizen in medieval religiously Catholic France, who danced for a living and loved to entertain people. Part of it is because she actually isn't a princess: she's a gypsy. The other reason is because the Hunchback of Notre Dame isn't one of their more popular movies.
Like Princess Leia, Giselle can't be an official Disney Princess because the Mouse House would need to secure the life-long rights to Adams' face. Giselle is also technically not a princess, as she abandons the magical land of Andalasia to live in the real world with a very human, very non-royal lawyer.

Who is the most unpopular Disney Princess?
1 Snow White
Nevertheless, Snow White is one of the least popular Disney princesses due to her inability to think for herself and have her own goals. Snow White is simply known as a beautiful woman who can sing and talk to animals. Beyond that, she has no personality or ambition.
For starters, the character must play a central role in a Disney or Pixar film, and must not be introduced in a sequel. At the same time, she must be royal by birth or marriage, or do a heroic deed, as was the case with Mulan.
Commercial reasons were also behind Tinker Bell's removal as a princess. As she is at the center of her own merchandising line of toys and games called Disney Fairies, she was taken off the list of Disney princess and replaced with Tiana, around the time of Princess and the Frog.
The Disney Princesses are a magical group, but ultimately they boil down to a merchandise and film franchise from a business perspective. Frozen is its own merchandise and film franchise. Basically, Anna and Elsa aren't princesses because they're plenty profitable on their own!
Some compare her to a stripper in this scene (especially when she twirls around a spear she uses as a makeshift pole). However, Esmeralda is known for being a dancer, we saw earlier that that is how she makes ends meet and for her this is her job, dancing tends to be alluring and sexy.
She is a French Roma girl (near the end of the book, it is revealed that her biological mother was a French woman). She constantly attracts men with her seductive dances, and is rarely seen without her clever goat Djali. She is around 16 years old and has a kind and generous heart.
While Tinker Bell could be found on merch sprinkling her pixie dust over a lineup of official princesses, she is not considered an official Disney princess.
When was Tinker Bell removed as a Disney Princess?
Although Tinker Bell was part of the Princess lineup when it launched, she was removed in mid-2004 because of her lead role in the Disney Fairies franchise, which launched in 2005.
Jane Porter at one point was considered to be part of the Disney Princess franchise, but she was later removed because her dress color scheme was likely too similar to Belle's. Also, the qualifications for being a Disney Princess changed over time, and Jane wasn't on the list.
If Frozen was the story of Elsa's tentative first steps in exploring and accepting her genetic condition and deafness, Frozen 2 sees her dancing and singing into Deafhood, actualizing her Deaf identity, and embracing Deaf culture and ethnicity.
In the revised version of the film, Elsa is born with the power to make ice and snow flow from her fingertips; however, when she becomes anxious or afraid, she is unable to control her magic.
There are currently only five non-Caucasian Disney Princesses: Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana and Moana. Jasmine is Arabian. Pocahontas is Native American.
On the high end, there are Disney princesses that earn up to $126,500 per year, while the majority of Disney princesses make a salary that ranges between $16,500 and $83,000 per year.
