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?

Who's princess Gisselle ? - mozbaby  132.2 #2558 2:37PM
From enchanted! - kyoto_sparkle  150.2 #2288 2:38PM
good question maybe it's a contract thing - Rob512  755.1 #134 2:39PM
Enchanted. I'm not sure that's true. I think they don't have her because the movie wasn't that popular. IMO - PrettyPixie  759.2 #132 2:39PM
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  12.7 #6098 2:39PM
Also, they used to have jack sparrow in the park ( they had to remove him cos the ladies kept getting too frisky lol) - RickeyCalifornia  157.0 #2191 2:40PM

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!  144.8 #2370 2:42PM
Really? @RickeyCalifornia. He is like my favorite character. Haha. I only got to meet him once.  haha  - pirategirl17  243.6 #1066 2:44PM
I have seen her, it was right around the movie opening. - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 2:44PM
I heard music from Enchanted while waiting for WOC!!!!! - Rob512  755.1 #134 2:44PM
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  12.7 #6098 2:49PM
@pirategirl here is a link to the blog of a man who used to play jack at DL, very interesting! http://www.lamag.com/featuredarticle.aspx?id=7016&source=rss - RickeyCalifornia  157.0 #2191 2:57PM
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  650.7 #161 3:04PM
Thanks @RickeyCalifornia!  - pirategirl17  243.6 #1066 3:05PM
