Disney tried to survive by creating the "Disney Princess" franchise, which included Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle & Jasmin.
They released dolls and merch with these 6.
After a decent success they released some DVDs which included music videos where other Disney Girls made an appeareance: Tinkerbell, Alice, Mulan, Pocahontas, Esmeralda and Megara; there were some toddler dolls of Alice, Tink, Mulan and Pocahontas but in the end only the last two gained an official place in the franchise, leaving all the others out.
Time passed and The princess and the frog was released, Tiana actually had a small coronation but no one actually cared, her merch was still marketed as "The Princess and the frog" when Punzie came to the game. Because of her big success, she had a huge ass coronation in UK or something and it was then when the started releasingg "Disney Princcess" merch with both Tiana and Punzie.
Then Merida appeared, she had a smaller celebration because honestly she shouldn't be in the franchise since she's Pixar and the movie is literal garbage, but anyway...
Then Frozen was released and we all know the autism it caused. The success was so huge that Disney decided that Frozen will bbe a franchise by itself and that Anna and Elsa wouldn't be joining the Disney Princess anytime soon.
Then they announced their new princess Moana, so everyone assumed she'll be the 12th princess, but there was no coronation.
Now, with the Wreck it Ralph situation, it seems that Anna, Elsa and Moana are part of the franchise despite not having a coronation.
