November Is Basically Princess Month Now

Last November, I posted about all of the festivities that took place for various princess movie anniversaries. Did you know that an overwhelming majority of Disney Princess movies were released in November of their corresponding year? That makes it a huge month for celebrating many of our favorite theatrical releases. Sometimes people ask why that is, and I think it's mainly about accessibility. Disney likes to release their biggest blockbusters right before holiday vacations so that parents and kids will be available to go out and see them, guaranteeing a successful run. You might be wondering why these movies don't open in December so they're closer to the bigger holidays, but most blockbusters stay in theaters for at least two months, which means that opening in November will bring in both the Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation crowds. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms , which came out last week, and even though it was somewhat disappointing, Disney's most anticipated princess blockbuster this year is still yet to come.  Ralph Breaks the Internet  will be released nationwide the day before Thanksgiving. Just look at all of these talented princess actresses who attended the premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood a few days ago!


Even though there were a few missing faces compared to the actresses who attended the D23 Expo panel last year, namely
Disney isn't the only studio getting in on the princess action this November. Netflix has two upcoming princess releases next week as well. The first is one you've probably already heard about. The Dreamworks TV reboot of She-Ra called She-Ra and the Princesses of Power has pushed up its release date by three days! Instead of November 16th, which now belongs to another Netflix princess release, She-Ra is dropping on November 13th. They have been releasing more previews of the series everyday on social media. Little by little, we've been getting official character bios of the princesses and their abilities, including She-Ra, Perfuma, Frosta, Entrapta, Mermista, Glimmer, Netossa, Spinerella, Bow, and even some members of the Horde. There are also some wonderful extended clips that give us a glimpse at the pacing of the show including one about She-Ra's rocky relationship with Catra, who she abandoned from the Horde to join the Princess of Power and another that came out today, humorously revealing the origins of She-Ra's flying unicorn, Swiftwind.


A less anticipated Netflix movie that was recently announced for this month is The Princess Switch, starring former Disney Channel actress

There's no doubt that this month is packed to the brim with princesses. Between Disney and Netflix, princess fans have no shortage of options, whether their preference is high fantasy, animation, film, TV, or Hallmark cheesiness. Aside from all the movies celebrating an anniversary this month, ABC recently aired a 90th Birthday Spectacular for Mickey Mouse, the character that began Walt Disney's corporate empire. The special included lots of Disney songs performed by famous actresses, including a beautiful rendition of "Part of Your Wold" by , who hovered over the stage on a levitating swing made of thick ropes in a gorgeous sheer seafoam green gown with puffed sleeves reminiscent of Ariel's tea dress and wedding dress. There has never been a better November to be a princess. On that note, I hope you're prepared for Black Friday this year because the Disney Store's website is now packed with even more merchandise of the Disney Princesses in their comfy new looks from Ralph Breaks the Internet !
