Why Aren’t All of Them Disney Princesses? (updated 2023)

Image
Disney Princesses is a Walt Disney Company franchise, based on fictional characters that have been featured as part of the Disney character line-up. When Disney started the Princess Collection in 2001, these were the already-existing eight princesses that are still in the collection today: Snow White , Cinderella , Aurora , Ariel , Belle , Jasmine , Pocahontas , and Mulan . They weren’t the only ones in the original collection though. In the beginning, Tinker Bell, Esmeralda, Megara, Alice, and Jane Porter were all in the collection but were later removed as the guidelines for the princess requirements were refined.

DISNEYLAND: Submarine Voyage - Real Mermaids

Image
The mermaids first appeared at the Submarine Voyage’s grand opening in 1959 where they were used for promotional purposes. They later returned to the lagoon for the summers of 1965, 1966, and 1967. They would swim around for four hours each day to entertain guests by doing aquatic stunts. Sometimes they would swim up to the people floating by in the submarine and peek through the porthole. They would also perform synchronized swimming. Some of the girls started to complain about the fumes from the, then diesel, subs and the high chlorine content of the water. So, it pressed Disney to remove them. The Cast Member girls who portrayed the lovely mermaids made a reported $1.65 an hour. There were some instances when young men were caught jumping into the water and swimming out to the mermaids, who were basking in the sun on the coral in the middle of the lagoon.  The brunette with the orange-red top is Edie Carhart. You can hear an interview with her HERE . Check...

MOVIES: Jabba The Hutt Was A Human

Image
The original script to A New Hope describes Jabba as a "fat, slug-like creature with eyes on extended feelers and a huge ugly mouth", but Lucas stated in an interview that the initial character he had in mind was much furrier and resembled a Wookiee. When filming the scene between Han Solo and Jabba in 1976, Lucas employed Northern Irish actor Declan Mulholland to stand-in for Jabba the Hutt, wearing a shaggy brown costume. Lucas planned to replace Mulholland in post-production with a stop-motion creature. The scene was meant to connect Star Wars to Return of the Jedi and explain why Han Solo was imprisoned at the end of The Empire Strikes Back . Nevertheless, Lucas decided to leave the scene out of the final film on account of budget and time constraints and because he felt that it did not enhance the film's plot. The scene remained in the novelization, comic book, and radio adaptations of the film. When the film was re-released to theaters in 1997, George had the ...
