Too many men in Disney Princess films?

What, wait... no mention of Klinger?

My favorite princess! Fun fact, Nurse Kelly was in 169 of 251 episodes...and now I've devoted way more time to this topic than I should have

Karen, you wrote “Have a look at how many writers, but also producers are male. Then you have your answer how this happened.” Are you saying that the predominance of male writers and producers is why there are so many male characters in movies? If so you have something there, particularly if you include directors. Here are some sources of information:

I am trying to think of a speaking sidekick that is female, without a deep dive into the internet, and the only ones that come to mind are Laverne in the Hunchback of Notre Dame, although she was one of three gargoyle sidekicks and the other two were male, and Terk in Tarzan. I am sure there have to be more, but they certainly aren’t easily coming to mind.

Dory in Finding Nemo.

Not a Princess movie obviously, but Dory was a major character and even got her own spin-off/ sequel movie.
