Description Poor Princess Eilonwy, she gets so little credit. I've yet to see her included by Disney in their princess collection. But why, why, could it be because she was more of a secondary character then a heroine, or that she dresses more like a well-to-do peasant then a princess, or maybe it's the fact that her movie bombed so badly that Disney now seems to prefer to pretend the whole thing never even happened... I'm guessing it's the third reason.

I'm not a big Black Cauldron fan myself, but I couldn't resist drawing a picture of Eilonwy and giving her a more royal outfit.

Princess Eilonwy is from The Black Cauldron. A book by Llyod Alexander, which was then adapted into an animated feature by Disney (and not very well.) ^_-


Edit: changed the file for one i digitally took my old watermark off of.

When you're traveling around, you can't get fancy. All DPs who have hardworking jobs at some point wear simple outfits.

I think the movie wasn't very popular and if it was it probably scared some of the smaller children and therefore Princess Eilonwy was not included in the Disney Princesses

They treat her as if she's locked in the basement. I remember someone writing a similar fate in some fanfic on this site.

Disney should be aware of the power of a niche market.

I totally agree with you ^^ This is such a beautiful picture ^^ you really made her look like a princess and I really like her dress ^^

I guess they forgot her because she doesn't fit into the 'rincess' category...I mean, while the others were all being swept away by their prince charmings, she was shouting at hers, attacking him and accusing him of being sexist. Not really the tradition damsel...^_^;

It was kinda dark for a disney movie too...that's why I liked it XD

I am one of the few who loved that movie, but I think the real princess of the movie is Henwin, the pig. I need to make a pic of Eilonwy, Henwin, Katrina from Ichabod and Mr. Toad, and Lulubelle from Fun and Fancy Free.
