If they can't have Princess Giselle in the parks because of some fees that would be due to Amy Adams, why are they able to have Mary Poppins & Bert? Shouldn't they owe Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke a lot of money?
good question maybe it's a contract thing - Rob512

Enchanted. I'm not sure that's true. I think they don't have her because the movie wasn't that popular. IMO - PrettyPixie

Just so everyone know... As much as people get confused... Gisselle is not princess... She did NOT end up marying a prince and was not a princess before that so... she is just a girl who fell in love with live action Mc Dreamy... LOL - itsreallyreal

I don't think she is there because she just isn't that popular. Google "disneyland giselle" and there are some pics of Giselle making an appearance. It looks like she was part of a parade. - kirsten!

Sorry I had to kill the fun with exposing that Giselle is not a princess but if I didn't then Kimmie would probably kick my but... She is a Princess Elitest (Also takes issue with Milan since she is no princess either lol) - itsreallyreal

And since we've all wandered everywhere and still not addressed the question let me see if I can shed some light on it. First off, Mary Poppins and Bert are not originally Disney characters but characters licensed by Disney. Second, it wasn't until after George Lucas retained the 'likeness' right of characters in the Star Wars saga from Fox that the idea of actors maintaining their own likeness rights really took off. So Disney would not owe Julie Andrews or Dick Van Dyke anything as Disney retained the rights to the character likeness and the performers did not. Now, I don't know any of this to be fact, but it is my best guess at the answer. - BlueberryCrusader
