Critics argue that Disney's decision to allow a male employee to dress as a traditionally female character sends confusing messages to children. The employee, identified as Nick, introduces themselves as one of the Fairy Godmother's Apprentices and proceeds to assist a young girl with her selections for the day.
A male Disneyland employee dressed as a 'Fairy Godmother's apprentice' has caused outrage and led to calls for the entertainment resort to be boycotted. Footage of the worker wearing a blue and purple dress, welcoming a young girl at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Anaheim, California has gone viral on TikTok.
On June 13, 2023, the opening sequence of the series Primos was released by Disney Branded Television, with a mixed reception to the sequence on social media, including from Latinos and Mexicans.

Why was tinkerbell removed?
However, Tinker Bell was removed so she could lead her own franchise as a Disney fairy, and through that, she got to star in a couple of movies. Other characters were considered to be part of the Disney Princesses franchise but didn't make it, as were Enchanted's Giselle, Tarzan's Jane, and Frozen's Anna and Elsa.
When the Disney Princess franchise was created in the early 2000s Tinker Bell was also part of the original line-up, but she was soon removed along with Esmeralda as it was decided that they didn't suit in the brand.
The male equivalent is a prince (from Latin princeps, meaning principal citizen). Most often, the term has been used for the consort of a prince, or for the daughter of a monarch.
The main complication in both versions is that Mulan has to disguise herself as a man so that she can join the army and save her father from conscription.
Ariel appears as an adult in Return to the Sea and gives birth to a daughter named Melody, becoming the first, and currently, only, Disney princess to become a mother.
Customer Service Issues. According to Disney fans who visited Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios, they experienced horrible customer service from some Disney employees. Guests and fans are disappointed in the theme park's reservation system and the long lines at popular areas like Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
This movie is so offensive that Disney wants to erase it from memory. Even in 1946, "Song of the South" was considered shocking and controversial by many. It was blasted for its racist depiction of Black Americans, and for putting a rose-tinted lens on plantation life.
Oh yes. The BBB is open to children of all gender identifications and you can choose to be anything your heart desires – as long as the costume is there [or you bring it with you] because Fairy Godmothers need challenges. You can be a Prince or a Knight too at the BBB!
The Mouse House's Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques have forgone gender norms since last summer. In an effort to encourage inclusivity and benefit cast members who don't necessarily identify as female, Disney ditched the “Fairy Godmother in Training” title in favor of “Fair Godmother's Apprentices.”

Unfortunately for fans of this princess, Mulan II did terribly. Critics regarded the film as a huge disrespect to the original Mulan. This discouraged Disney from pursuing her story any further, so Mulan III was shelved and Ana Ming never made it anywhere.
Most of the Disney princesses wear dresses or skirts. But in 1992, Jasmine became the first to wear pants. Mulan followed as the second in 1998 and then came Anna and Elsa in 2019 for "Frozen 2" — though, technically, they're both queens by the end of the film, not princesses.
Royal marriages to commoners have historically been uncommon, due to traditions of members of royal families, especially high-level ones, only marrying other persons considered to be royalty, sometimes with penalties for royals who married far below their rank, deemed morganatic marriage.
A prince consort is sometimes a title held by the husband of a monarch who is not a monarch in his own right. In recognition of his status, a prince consort may be given a formal title, such as prince.
Princess consort is an official title or an informal designation that is normally accorded to the wife of a sovereign prince. The title may be used for the wife of a king if the more usual designation of queen consort is not used.
According to Sara Franks-Allen of ScreenCrush, Meg was excluded from the official Disney Princess franchise due to Hercules' underperformance in theaters, describing her as a "forgotten Disney princess".
Technically a queen through being married to "king of the jungle" Tarzan, Jane was considered for the list, and even announced in the official Disney Princess magazine—before Disney realized her yellow dress made her too similar to franchise stalwart Belle.
