Dear Disney, Sally is a Princess

Dear Disney,

You missed a princess. You left Sally off your list of Disney Princesses.

Sally is the kind and courageous deuteragonist of The Nightmare Before Christmas.

It's a glaring omission to refuse her a place in the Disney princess pantheon.

Maybe you think she's not a princess. But I would like to point out that Mulan was a soldier and Pocahontas was the daughter of the Chief. They are not princesses.
She is a princess in every way but title. Though she is the love of the Pumpkin King.
Sally is a great role model for little girls.
  • She promotes self acceptance. She looks like uniquely herself. She doesn't try to change that. 
  • She overcomes obstacles, including imprisonment. 
  • She shows wisdom, when she recognizes the folly of Jack's plan and fights to save Santa Claus. 
  • She's giving. She packs a lovely picnic basket for Jack to enjoy while he works in his laboratory. 
I say it's high time for Sally to take her place among the Disney Princesses.

Signed,
Kit
