While in the toy section at my local Wal-Mart I noticed something was missing. I was in the girls section where the Disney Princess stuff is and I didn't see Jasmin. Of all the different items not one thing had Jasmin's likeness. I maybe mistaken, but wasn't Jasmin the only one to start off as a princess.
Ariel, I guess was too if you consider Neptune to be king of the ocean. So technically she would have started off as a goddess (or whatever you call the daughter of a god.)
Snow White, Cinderella, and that one from Beauty and the Beast were bums
Sleeping Beauty, I am not sure of cause my Disney lore escapes me at the moment and i don't feel like researching it. But I'll fill you in a bit on the true origin of her story. The Prince actually raped her while she was in some sort of coma and she actually woke up while giving birth to the baby. Yea knowledge!!!
I would almost say Disney is obviously leaving Jasmin out cause of race. They have some Princess and the Frog stuff so the black princess is covered. I guess it could also be that Wal-Mart isn't ordering it. Who knows??
Either way it seems like there is a part of the market someone is missing out on.
