4 Cancelled Disney Princesses We’ll Never Get To See! Disney Dude & Dudette 

Comment Which Disney Princess or Fairytale Character you would like to see next! I will be using some of your suggestions in my next video!

I'm sorry, whenever someone mentions Odette. All I can think of is that one scene "You should write a book. How to offend a woman in five syllables or less."

Most recent cancelled prince was ⭐️

Would have been interesting to see Disney have a Japanese princess. The Tale of Princess Kagoya or the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter from Japan would have been on par like Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.

Ellonwy from The Black Cauldron is pretty close to basically being a cancelled Disney princess.😂

Modern animation will NEVER look as beautiful as the art that was classic old fashioned animation

Honestly, now that Natives are in the spotlight like never before I would love another Native Disney princess. I think it's time.

I would love to see those cancelled princesses come to life

Kingdom of the Sun, Hiawatha, Gigantic, and Swan Lake should definitely be Disney's next priorities.

A real African princess in an African setting would be very cool or something related to Australia? Hope they work on such things ...

I love Disney. But the swan princess was an excellent film. For its time, and I don't think Disney could have done it better. Later on it fell apart, but I loved the voice actress in this and Far longer then forever was my let it go. The art work was stunning and the animation for the transformation is still on of my favorites. The side characters were pretty interesting too.

The cancelled version of Minihaha looks a every bit like Tiger Lily, Nakoma, and Pocahontas.

I'd want to see another Celtic themed Princess. Except Irish instead of Scottish. Since Brave is Scottish, I'm craving for Irish Disney Princess. And maybe Mesoamerican as well?

A Disney "Wizard of Oz" would have been iconic.

I want more brown-skinned princesses with beautiful gowns so I can feel pretty on Halloween

I wish Disney would make movies based on these classic fairytales and stories again.

Actually when Disney worked on darker tales, they attempted to do Wild Swans (princess Eloise) but it was too complicated to have 2nd non speaking princess (as that place already went to Ariel) So they went for Hunchback of Notre Dame Its such a shame still... I wish we got Wild Swans instead of Resuers Down Under

I was thinking what Goldilocks story could even be… then I thought a classic Disney plot line would be Goldilocks stumbles upon “abandoned” house in which there was a curse that turned the family that lived there into bears and it would be up to gold to change/break the curse someway somehow… Very beauty and the beast meets brave

The cancelled version of Goldilocks looks a little like Alice.

I like the first concept idea for Odette. Very distinct.

I'd love to see Disney's Hansel and Gretel. The Gingerbread House witch is one of the most iconic fairy tale villains. It's a shame she was never elevated into the realm of classic Disney villains. I'd also have loved to have seen what a Disney "Redwall" film would have been like.

4:05 Bro I forgot what early Barbie movie animation looks like, that scared me 💀

I watched Babes in Toyland so many times as a kid. It always flew under the radar despite a cast of stars.

Goldilocks: Her head is way too small for her body and she looks far too much like Alice, so no. 2nd princess: No. Odette: No. Doroty: They already did a Wizard of Oz sequal called Return to Oz in the 1980s.

Would really love a snow white and rose red Disney film.

They should bring those cancelled projects out at least it isnt a remake 😂

Lol, still no Ancient Egyptian Disney Princesses? *I wantta Nitocris Movie*

All of them look better than the garbage Disney is pumping out these days.

I'd like to make 2 suggestions, 1st- I think that Disney should make the animated movie "PRINCESS ACADEMY", & 2nd, I think they should also make a new animated movie called "THE 12 DANCING PRINCESSES". Now that would be exciting to watch. 🧚‍♀💃🏰🏫❤🎬🎞🎥🎨🖌🖊

Disney DID eventually make the live action film ‘Return to Oz’…I’m not so sure Walt himself would approve of that film tho. 😅 the 80s were honestly such an odd time for Disney movies. I was lucky enough to have been born in 1991, at the dawn of the ‘Disney Renaissance Era’ and got to grow up with masterpieces like ‘Mulan’, ‘Aladdin’, and ‘Tarzan’ as they were coming out. 😊

The cancelled Disney version of Odette looks every bit like the Barbie version and the RichCrest version.

Disney had also planned a Rapunzel movie after Snow White but nothing really came of it, no concept or anything, supposedly they had a hard time coming up with a satisfying story, especially one centered aroumd being stuck in a tower for majority of the film. Im saying this really because atleast the Goldilocks one can very well become a future movie, aslong as they stay away from blonde and blue dress which i imagine is gonna be difficult because thats her design

Would looooove another native movie!! I love Pocahontas and Brother Bear so much! 💖💖

It would've been nice to see a British or African princess😔😫

As Minnehaha and Hiawatha are both legends from my home state of Minnesota that got popularized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “The Song of Hiawatha,” I gotta admit to being curious

Your princesses look so much better than these new bulb eyes creatures. Thank you. Could you please design the goose girl and the prince from Engelbert Humperdinck's Königskinder. Always thought, it would be a great Disney movie.

I know you said Goldilocks is a blend of Alice & Snow White, but I can't help seeing shades of Elwony from 'The Black Cauldron'...

I like Swan Princess the way it is. The comedy is also Gold. I don't know how Disney would have written it but what we have is Gold. LEAVE IT LIKE THAT !!!! Hugs and Kisses

I remember when I wanted to be a Disney animator. I had an idea for a movie based off the Wild Swans by Hans Christian Andersen.

The blonde Odette looks breathtaking.

Yennenga is a cool warrior princess in Mossi mythology (modern-day Burkina Faso) about this bad @$$ princess who just wants to find a nice man to settle down with and start a family with. But her father doesn't want to let his best warrior to marry. I can see her story fitting in disney nicely as she would be the first-ever African princess and be the perfect example of how to write a strong female character that's a good role model for children. It's gold just waiting to happen but they instead made a mermaid black to pander to the people.

Idk if it would've been better but I love the swan princess the way it was made.

Disney did do a live action movie Return to Oz in 1985. Kind of nightmare inducing but I like it

Personally, I wish Disney did Les Miserables, that Victor Hugo book seems more like something Disney would adapt rather than Hunchback.

Still waiting for a Disney swan lake...they should ditch all these live action films and do an snimated swan princess! We need a another odette. By the way the 90s swan princess is fantastic still a favorite.

Why didn’t they just make a Disney Princess Enchanted Tales series on Disney Channel? Instead they release two movies, and then nothing else after that. They just give up halfway through.

The problem is with Disney going full on DEI woke, there won’t be another Caucasian Princess for a long, long time. And Princess Minnehaha would only offend the folks who are offended by Pocahontas.

Um, NONE of these characters were EVER princesses!!! That is probably why they never WERE made into Disney movies🤷‍♂️

2:12 This Goldilocks looks so tall and athletic, nearly the level of a Dutch or Scandinavian teenage girl preparing for the Olympics!

Your concept art for Minehaha (sp) resembles the Land-O-Lakes butter mascot.

The swan princess is perfect, I’m glad it ended up as it did actually

Swan Princess was supposed to get replaced by something like this? I thought replacing trash with trash was bad?

The Wizard of Oz will explain why the wicked witch features so much in Once Upon a Time. I could see where all the other characters came from because of the Disney projects, but not her.

Actually it wasn't her singing skills it's that they weren't able to trade two actors that Shirley's Studio wanted in exchange for Shirley

Ok The Swan Princess was perfect I'm glad Disney didn't get their paws on it on this one 😂. Swan 🦢 Princess was a big favorite in our house growing up ❤

No one at Disney can draw like that anymore. Even Tiana is a Black Belle, and Prince Naveen a Latin Aladdin.

Don Bluth's princesses! ❤ Odette, Thumbelina and Anastasia

When was the last time Disney actually made an "original cartoon"? Everything Disney /Hollywood makes are either "live-action," reboots, soft reboots, or poorly written extensions of long-dead trilogies. Worse yet, they are poorly written.

I am not sad about Disney not getting the rights to Swan Princess or Wizard of OZ. Those are both amazing films without Disney.

I want to see a Filipino Disney princess 😁

I’m hoping Walt Disney Animation Studios could make a animated film of The Wild Swans

South Korean Disney Princess ❤❤ 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷

Hollywood should stop remaking. Unless it's live action. But disney should rest for awhile making live action. Because they're horrible at marketing. They can't shut the critics.

Minnehaha, and Hiawatha are really well known names in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hiawatha is a neighborhood, and an avenue, and Minnehaha is a park, and a street, and a waterfall all within minneapolis. It's so cool to me that even watching youtube, I'm still reminded of our lands history.

Disney did a live-action squeal of the Wizard of Oz in the 1980s Return to Oz.

Peau D'Asne is probably the fourth more famous fairy tale Princess between the realese of Snow White and The Sleeping beauty. Her popularity deminsih in the 80s, because of the incest subject. And was easily replaced by The Little Mermaid and Belle.

I would like to have seen Odette, I enjoyed the Swan Princess.

Goldilocks? To begin with, you can’t make her older than 10, tops, or her behavior becomes alarmingly idiotic. She is not a heroine either, nor does she embody any quality of character or virtue. It’s a case of havoc wreaked by a disrespectful child. I don’t think Goldilocks has any redeeming qualities! 😳

Dorothy looks a lot like an animated version of Elizabeth Taylor. Ironic, if you think about the term "friend of Dorothy", in which Taylor was 'Dorothy'.

The bears look so sweet

All though it would be interesting to see some of these Disney princesses I think odet looks better the way she is now

Disney should either do a movie about a princess who's father is the dark lord and is just flat unfazed by a lot of evil stuff while still fitting the classic Disney mold or one where the Princess is the true villain in the end and is just a master galighter and manipulator.

I Don't Know Espeically If Disney Doesn't Make It Happen I Wish I Had An Answer For You? It Would Be A Very Good Idea To See Ever A Animated Version Or Live Action Version Of These Disney Features That Never Got Off The Ground.

Disney definitely could have made Latin American princess films (Coco, the Emperor's New Groove, and Encanto aren't in the same vein as good as they were). The material was there. Both Brazil and Mexico had European royalty at one point in their country during or after the colonial period. But that wasn't even necessary either. Much like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, there was a lot of interesting history in countries like Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina between 1521-1900. Also, most Disney fans don't know, but Disney actually liked to use European classical music to score their films (Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, etc.), just like they used actual fairy tales. Both Mexico and Brazil had classical composers going back centuries. In fact some popular waltzes, originally believed to be German in American pop culture were actually composed by a Mexican composer in Mexico (Ex: Over the Waves). There are many more examples, but too long a list. And if looking at historical heroines like Mulan or Anastasia (I know not Disney), they could look at figures like Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz from Mexico, Juana Azurduy from Argentina, or Policarpa Salvatierra from Colombia. Point is, all the elements for a Latin American Disney princess are there. Disney just hasn't really looked closely in the past.

The AI art is both unethical and badly rendered. None of your versions come close to anything that Disney might have done. You could have done this whole truly fascinating discussion without any of the AI art and it would have been a thousand times better. Minihaha, had it come out, would lie on the trash heap of history alongside Song of the South. The racism of Little Hiawatha makes me glad that Minihaha never came to fruition. I would have loved a Disney Wizard of Oz. However, I suspect that Walt would have gone with costuming more from the books than the MGM movie, copyright being what it was. The rest would have been wonderful to see, especially Odette, as I felt the movie that was actually made was pretty poor quality.

Goldie and Bear is really cute I'm glad the others didn't work out

I wish Goldilocks and the three bears cartoon 🥺😭 Princess and the Pea Snow white and Rose Red 😭 Please animation 📽️ 😭😭😭😭 I hate remake Live action movie

It would be great if Disney could rescue these old calceled idea movies and actually bring them back making real movies instead of....doing whatever they are doing with movies by now.

I really liked the second Odette concept and Dorothy - I would have gone with an older version of Shirley Temple - 16 or 20 year old her- for reference. Saw her play John Wayne's daughter. I would like to see A Rose Red/Rose White Disney version - Or Oscar Wilde's Salome, but that's too dark.

No im scared because the goldilocks you made looks exactly like me

Some suggestions Rumplestitlzkin's Miller's Daughter (Is there any doubt who should play Rumple? He only auditioned for the role for ten years.) Red Riding Hood Hansel and Gretel An Irish princess, perhaps a sanitized version of Dierdre of the Sorrows Tam Lin Maybe Melusine, I don't know about that one. They did history a few times why not again with Princess Kail'lulauni or Empress Matilda ot Tomoe Gozen? Maybe a Meso American story. Perhaps Izchel and Popocatepetl. Kaguya Himei Maybe a modern adaptations of an older story ala Princesss and the Frog with a more diverse cast similar to the series Happily Ever After Stories for Every Child. Oh some of rhe Arabian Nights stories Ali Baba would work because it has a brilliant female character already: Morgiana. Even have a wrap around segment with Scheherezade. Since they mentioned OZ, I would love to see them do a direct adaptation of Land of OZ if nothing else to see the controversy that would form because of Ozma's origin story in the books. While we're on the subject Maiden and Princess or Princess Princess Ever After (Actually, I'm still waiting for them to do King and King).

I like 👍 to see none of the abandoned Disney characters

Disney actually made FIVE of those Oz records, at least. The one you showed is the 78 (I think) and they also for that did versions of The Scarecrow of Oz, The Tin Woodman of Oz, and The Cowardly Lion of Oz (though all of them deviated a LOT from the actual books, more so as you go down the list, the Cowardly Lion one had NOTHING to do with the books). They then re-did the Wizard as a 45 with new illustrations for another set (and you see that one a lot). In some ways, the pictures with those give you a clue as to where they might have gone with Dorothy had they done it. The main problem with the design you showed is the one from the MGM movie, Dorothy is way too old (she's supposed to be about eight to ten in the books). That rainbow special gives a clue as to where they might have gone, older than eight to ten, but younger than Garland's fifteen or so. Specifically in the Scarecrow, which has a group pic of many Oz citizens, it looks like they might have actually planned to hand the role over to Haley Mills (who they were already using a lot), since their drawing has a very Pollyanna like look to it. www.amazon.com/Scarecrow-Oz-Ray-Bolger-Based/dp/B0085BC2RU

I'd love to see more in this series! Even if it's just imagining other cartoons as Disney Princesses (ie what if the simpsons was created by disney, 4 historical figures reimagined into disney princesses & writing out their film plot!)

I'd be curious to see if Disney would make The Twelve Dancing Princesses into a film. It was one of my favourite stories as a kid.

i watched princess swan for the first as an adult i had never seen it as a kid and boy was it so bad like i couldn’t even appreciate any aspect of it other than the animation

Minnehaha in the poem has the drawback of being almost entirely a side character. A little kid version in a short cartoon could work, but as a feature film protagonist, I just don’t think she’d be viable.

Interesting and ironic that “babes in toy land” incorporates elements of the wizard of oz because ray bolger, who played the scarecrow in oz, was the bad guy in babes in toy land.

I really liked Swan Princess, I think it worked out as well as it could have tbh

You're a little off about the casting of Shirley Temple as Dorothy. As soon as MGM got the rights to the book, they announced Judy Garland as Dorothy. It had always been meant as a showcase for her. However, as preproduction dragged and the budget ballooned, the suits in New York were getting nervous about a near-unknown like Garland carrying such a big film, and wanted to get a big name lead. Of course that could only mean Shirley Temple (although there are some stories about Deanna Durbin and Bonita Granville also being considered). The only trouble was, Temple was under contract to 20th Century Fox! Nevertheless, inquiries were made and the MGM producers came to Fox to hear her, but Shirley just wasn't right. Fox had no intention of loaning her out anyway, and instead made their own big-budget Technicolor fantasy starring Temple, "The Blue Bird". Shirley Temple herself, a big fan of the Oz books, said at the time she didn't want to play Dorothy anyway, she wanted to meet her! (Temple finally got to go to Oz in a 1961 episode of her TV show, which adapted the second book, "The Marvelous Land of Oz". Shirley played Tip and Ozma.) Meanwhile, let's not forget that Disney made two Oz movies in later years, "Return to Oz" in 1985 and "Oz the Great and Powerful" in 2013.

I grew up during the 90s and watched Disney blossom with their incredible movies. And I kept waiting for them to tell stories from India, Africa, South America (Emperors New Groove is alright, but I’m talking a more serious movie), etc. and then….. nothing… 😢

Sacrilege! The Swan Princess movie was wonderful as is. Loved it!

The ugly duckling, elves and the shoemaker, Anasi and the sky god, the goose girl, east of the sun, west of the moon, Ali baba and the forty thieves, the enchanted horse, twelve dancing princesses, the snow queen, the shepherdess and the chimney sweep are just quite a few of the fairy tales I’d love to see Disney do. I grew up with all of these and more, from all over the world. Just a shame that they concentrated on the live action films instead.

Shirley Temple was actually cast as Dorothy. The issue was that she was signed to Fox. A deal was struck to loan her to MGM for the film in exchange for the loan of Clarke Gable and Jean Harlow. But then Harlow unexpectedly passed away and the deal was scrapped. Fox wouldn’t let her go. And as much as I love Temple, I’m so glad she wasn’t Dorothy. It wouldn’t have been the enduring classic that it is without Judy Garland’s beautiful vocals. It would have been ok, but it would be “just another Shirley Temple movie” with cutesie dancing and “meh” songs.

I’m glad Disney didn’t do swan lake as I love the swan princess it’s one of my childhood favourites

Goldie looks like Alice and the girl from the black cauldron

Barbie movies (cartoon…the movies for kids) did Swan Lake and it was really good. I’d like to see a hand drawn animated Disney princess again. Last one that we got was Princess Tiana. I’d like a classic story with a prince and princess but maybe a fantasy version like an elven princess. Or what about a space princess from another galaxy sorta like Princess Allura from Voltron DotU.

I would love Disney to do a animation of Red Riding Hood, One of favourite stories as a child ❤

I liked the second concept art for Odette better than the first...but that's my opinion. As for Dorthy's concept art...if it was made into an anime...yeah, I can see myself watching it...also, forgive my criticism but I like Dorthy's first anime concept art better...but that's just me. If you have your own opinion...let me know.

It wouldn't be better; The Swan Princess is perfect
