Brave (2012) One of the first Disney movies that involved a princess as the main protagonist who didn't have a love interest was Merida in Brave. Merida was a princess, and she was to be courted, but she didn't want to be given someone to love, plus she believed she was able to rule her country on her own.
Which Disney Princess does not have a love interest?
Moana, the newest Disney princess fans are counting down the days to meet, will officially have no love interest in the upcoming movie. Instead, her story will focus on the path she takes to find herself — not a significant other.
While all of the Disney Princesses are likable in their own way, it is Rapunzel who really is the nicest of the bunch. She is someone who has endless energy and passion and is constantly looking for an adventure once she finally gets out of her tower.
Nope. It turns out Moana just doesn't have one in the movie. "It's a film about the heroine finding herself," Musker and Clements revealed to EW about whether or not Moana was going to have a romance.
However, the filmmakers were willing to say one thing definitively: "Elsa's not going to have a romantic relationship in this," writer-director Jennifer Lee told a group of journalists gathered at Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Voiced by Auli'i Carvalho, Moana is a young woman with great navigational talents with a love for adventure and the sea. A once-powerful demigod, Maui is the courageous hero who accompanies Moana on her adventure. Seeing how Maui is so bulky, it's only appropriate that he's voiced by Dwayne Johnson.
Merida. Merida's place as a Disney princess was rather groundbreaking in the fact that she was the first Disney princess who wasn't given a prince. Her entire story is more about family and that kind of love. Merida has a rather free spirit and is strong and independent.
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.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out in 1937, debuting the very first Disney princess with Snow White herself. Voiced by Adriana Caselotti, she's incredibly of her time (i.e. dated af).
In the Disney film Moana, the relationship between Moana and Maui is not romantic because Moana is a sixteen year old girl and Maui is thousands of years old. This is a step up from prior Disney movies.
Young MacGuffin was to be the suitor that Merida chooses in the initial version of the film (hence his name), but this idea was later changed. In the final version, it's explicitly stated that Merida does not want to marry at all, and ultimately remains single by the end of the film.
Ariel. The sweet, innocent young girl from The Little Mermaid had to rank high on this list. The reason for that is that she was completely clueless about the world around her and how things operated.
Elsa is never properly identified as asexual or aromantic, something that would help immensely to increase visibility and awareness. Considering Disney's record with LGBT characters (remember the underwhelming 'gay moment' in Beauty and the Beast?)
On February 8, 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that Frozen 3 is in the works, along with Toy Story 5 and Zootopia 2. While news of a third Frozen film was a welcome one, we have yet to hear more details about the movie or see a trailer. Here's everything we know about Frozen 3.
Although Elsa's disability is encoded as a magical ice power, the language the film uses to talk about her condition maps on to the experiences of people with physical, mental, and intellectual disabilities in recognizable ways.
Te Kā is the main antagonist of Disney's 56th full-length animated feature film Moana. She was once the benevolent island goddess Te Fiti, but after her heart was stolen by the demigod Maui, she became a destructive lava demon.

Dumbo. As the least vocal main character in Disney's entire film library (Dumbo never speaks in the film named for him!), you'd think this pachyderm would at least get more of a chance to shine in the Disney parks.
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.
