Which pixar character is included in the disney princess line?

The Disney Princess franchise is a media brand and toy line created by Andy Mooney that features select female protagonists from Disney-owned animated films. While the lineup primarily consists of characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios films, it notably includes one character from Pixar Animation Studios. That character is Merida, the headstrong princess from the 2012 Pixar film 'Brave.' Merida was added to the Disney Princess collection, making her the only Pixar character to receive this designation. The franchise uses the term 'Princess' as a title for heroines rather than strictly referring to royal status, and Merida's inclusion reflects her role as a Disney Princess in the commercial brand despite originating from Pixar. Her addition marked an expansion of the Princess line beyond traditional Disney Animation properties. The character represents themes of independence and challenging tradition, fitting within the broader Disney Princess narrative framework.
