princess dolls


Giselle was qualified for the Disney Princess line...
I can understand why Amy didn't get a line of princess dolls, but why not the animated Giselle? Then Disney could have sold their doll, and stiffed Amy. Must be some legal angle I don't know about.

From what I understand, animated Giselle was based heavily on Amy Adams, so either way they'd have to have paid her a royalty for using her likeliness.

There were several sets of dolls issued...it was the ongoing licensing after the movie's intitial release which became an issue

There was Mattel versions of Amy Adams as Giselle on Ebay but the prices are a pure rip off.

I think its cause they have to pay for Amy Adams rights. But what I can't understand is that the likes of Emma Watson and Lily James had no problems with their features being used for their barbie dolls so yeah its strange. Who knows they might have merchandise for its sequel Disenchanted.

I remember when I was living in the country and Mom and I went to CVS and as we were shopping we just happened to see a line of new dolls and we were curious to know more about them and Mom and I asked a CVS employee what were those dolls and she told us "That's Giselle from the new Disney movie Enchanted" and the only Giselle doll CVS had at the time was Fairytale Wedding Giselle as it was mentioned on her box and the likeness to Amy Adams was amazing but since the price was high I waited to get it and I finally got it for my birthday a year after Enchanted came out and I was blown away at how amazing the doll was. There was also a Robert doll that has the amazing likeness of Patrick Dempsey and this doll actually made me a Patrick Dempsey fan and I was amazed at how handsome the doll looked. I can honestly say Mattel really did the best Disney dolls and the Enchanted line proved it for them. But what I found odd is that there was no Prince Edward doll made since he was one of the popular characters in Enchanted that a doll featuring James Marsden's likeness as Prince Edward would've been nice. But I hope that when Enchanted 2 is released Hasbro will create dolls for it as well

I actually have one of those dolls. It's the one where she's dressed like a little forest nymph, in the pink dress.
