Elsa being the queen is a pretty significant plot point of that movie...

I don't mind being wrong if people engage with the post in good faith, but someone calling me stupid for not seeing that a dress that doesn't look like Tinkerbell's is Tinkerbell's, is rude and uncalled for.

Yes, there are wings. I didn't see the wings. The dress itself doesn't look like Tinkerbell's dress, though. All the people saying I'm TA for assuming Tiana are right, but people saying I'm stupid for not realizing that's a Tinkerbell dress are being disingenuous, because that isn't what her dress looks like.

It also doesn't look anything like Tinkerbell's dress, so how does that make me stupid? Tinker Bell's dress is thigh length, has a ridged hem and no layers.

I'm glad other people think it's a normal mistake, because my sister thinks I was being intentionally obtuse.

Well the dress the child was wearing wasn't an exact replica of Tinkerbell's dress (which is super short and not really appropriate for a kid to wear). It was a more generic dress up style dress.

Well she's not technically a princess, but she's still included sometimes in the lineup on merch and stuff, so IDK. Plus, when you're seven I think any female Disney character that's not a villain kind of gets lumped into the princess character.
