Where the Disney Princess ranks stand right now, Merida is the only one who does not sing a single note in her entire movie. Yup. Princess Merida, from Disney/Pixar's 2012 Brave, who was officially coronated as a Disney Princesses in 2013, doesn't have a song.
There's one official Disney Princess that doesn't have a song — can you guess who this is? (Merida from Brave.) Elsa and Anna from Frozen are not considered by Disney as an “official Princess”, but if the fans consider them as two of the most popular Disney princesses of all time.
However, with only 18 spoken lines, Aurora speaks less than any other main character in a full-length Disney animated feature – aside from Dumbo, who is completely silent – and has absolutely no dialogue once she is awakened from her deep sleep.
However, when Brave released in 2012, this tradition was broken as Merida, the princess in the story, does not sing. Although she does not sing like the other princesses, she follows the recent trend of feminist Disney princesses because she refuses to marry a prince like her parents want her to.
The song is called Lead The Way. Although she didn't sing it within the film because Raya and the Last Dragon is not a musical. It's an action movie. Lead The Way is more of a theme song than an I Want song that a lot of Princesses have.
Lack of Promotion at Movie Theaters
Finally, Raya didn't see the expected recognition and promotion at movie theaters, with some theater chains not even showing the film.
'Raya And The Last Dragon (2021)' has a strange tone that actually sees its comedy clash immensely with its drama, rather than compliment it. It doesn't help that the opening is pretty much played straight and that there is a rather serious undercurrent running throughout the entire affair.
Snow White is only 14 years old, making her the youngest. Jasmine, who is supposed to be 15, is the second youngest. Cinderella and Tiana are the oldest, both 19 years old.
In Disney's nearly 100-year history, there has been only one Black Disney princess — Princess Tiana in “The Princess and the Frog,” a 2009 animated feature starring Anika Noni Rose.
The answer: Beauty and the Beast's Belle. Belle is an independent thinker, was raised in a geeky household, and *loves *to read. Her dad loves to tinker and make inventions and growing up in a house like that she was bound to be geeky.
Belle is one of the smartest, bravest, and most tender-hearted characters the Disney company has ever created, and her story becomes more and more relevant all the time.
It kind of makes sense that Aurora has the fewest amount of lines of all the Disney princesses considering she is asleep for a large portion of the movie.
In the 1989 animation, Ariel gives up her voice to Ursula the sea witch in exchange for legs. While Ariel is hesitant, Ursula reminds her that she will have no need for her voice above water.
Moana. She is Moana of Motunui, and being next in line to lead her tribe makes her an official Disney princess! Despite her differences with her father, the chief, she proved to be a fit leader when she risked her life to save her island and her people.
Pocahontas was the first Disney Princess to have a visible tattoo!

Gaston of Beauty and the Beast, who is in his mid-20s, and Hans from Frozen, who is only 23, are the youngest Disney villains. The self-loving and narcissistic Gaston is also the first-ever male villain in a Disney princess movie.
Disney Princesses is the fastest-growing brand for the company's Consumer Products division. Disney introduced its first non-white animated heroine in 1992's “Aladdin”: a Middle Eastern character named Jasmine.
There are currently only seven Caucasian Disney Princesses: Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Rapunzel, and Merida. Snow White and Rapunzel are German. Cinderella, Aurora, and Belle are French. Ariel is Danish.
The easiest answer for why the Frozen women don't count is simply that Elsa is a queen in the first movie, and gives up her crown for Anna to take over in Frozen 2. They are therefore Queens and not Princesses.
Namaari is the central antagonist turned tritagonist of Disney's 59th full-length animated feature film Raya and the Last Dragon.
Frozen: Kristoff – no parents. Raya and the Last Dragon: Raya – no mother.
As Raya is from a fictional land, the concept of race and ethnicity doesn't totally translate one-for-one, but, generally, she is Southeast Asian. Raya is voiced by Kelly Marie Tran, who is Vietnamese-American.
