Disney’s D23 Expo brought the voices of some of the most iconic Disney princesses together and now they want to team up for their own crossover movie in the vein ofAvengers: Infinity War. The unprecedented real-life union came together whileDisney Animationunveiled a new clip from the forthcomingRalph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2where Vanellope von Schweets decides to have a bit of fun with the princesses after her and Ralph find them inOhMyDisney.com, the happiest place online. The women behind the voices arrived on stage to thunderous cheers and applause.
After the Animation panel,Fandango’s official Facebookaccount posted a video of most of the actresses being asked if they’d be interested in doing an Avengers-style crossover. Every single actress interviewed excitedly said, “yes.” Auli’i Cravalho (Moana) said, “We’re on camera, you need to quote that because that is such a great idea.“Mandy Moore(Rapunzel) said, “Yeah, sign me up. Where’s John Lassester? I’m so down for that.” And why not? It is a great idea and would probably be huge at the box office and even bigger on the merchandising aspect.
It’s obviously working wonders for Marvel andAvengers: Infinity War, so why not try an all female Disney Princess version? TheWreck-it-Ralph 2footage reactions should be enough to put the idea into motion. Maybe evenCaptain Marvelcan get a cameo, which could also include Rey fromStar Wars. The idea is almost too perfect and one has to wonder if the idea crossed over the collective brass at Disney after making the footage forWreck-it-Ralph 2. It seems like it would have had to and besides, animation would certainly be a heck of a lot easier (and cheaper) to pull off than the live-action ofInfinity War.
Fans lucky enough to be in attendance were the first to see the clip and witness the union of the princesses. No Disney fans in attendance will ever forget seeing Auli’i Cravalho (Moana), Kristen Bell (Anna inFrozen), Kelly MacDonald (Merida inBrave), Mandy Moore (Rapunzel inTangled), Anika Noni Rose (Tiana inThe Princess and the Frog), Irene Bedard (Pocahontas), Linda Larkin (Jasmine inAladdin), Paige O’Hara (Belle inBeauty and the Beast) and Jodi Benson (Ariel inThe Little Mermaid) on stage for the largest gathering of Disney princesses in history. Backstage it was selfies for all that were involved and everybody was clearly having an amazing time being together like that.
While the idea of an allDisney Princess,Avengers-style crossover does seem like a great idea, it might not be the direction that Disney is currently moving since they seem to focusing on live-action remakes of all of their classic animated movies. But who knows? Only time will tell at this point, but one thing is for certain: The Disney princesses are up for the battle and the idea is a solid one. Check out the video interviews from the actresses below and check out some backstage pictures of the event below.
