Is Disney setting up a shared universe?

Disney has hit a goldmine with their live action versions of Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Jungle book, and It's new retelling of Sleeping Beauty's baddie Maleficent, and with Beauty and the Beast coming out real soon, It's time to ponder on a question these live action Disney movies. Is Disney creating it's own shared universe among it's live action films similarly to what it created for the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Beauty and the Beast isn't the last live action revival we're going to be seeing soon. Next year, we're going to get Mulan, and Disney has already greenlit live action versions of Dumbo, Snow White, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio, Winnie The Pooh, Peter Pan & it's Tinkerbell spinoff, The Sword in the Stone, A Cruella De Vil origin story, and The Lion King, with James Earl Jones reprising his role as Mufasa. With so many live action Disney movies coming out, you can't help but wonder if they all exist in the same live action universe. But what does it all mean, though? Are these characters ever going to meet each other? Will we see Cinderella cameo in Beauty and the Beast. Geographically speaking, both stories do take place in France. And what about The Lion King? Are Baloo and Bagheera going to show up at Simba's birth? Wouldn't it be cool to see Maleficent hash it out with the live action Evil Queen to see who's the fiercest Fairy Tale mistress of darkness? I envision these characters will probably meet each other at some point in the future, but probably in a small scale. Think Rapunzel and Eugene at the beginning of Frozen. As much as we'd love to see live action Disney Princesses interacting with one another, the chances of one big Avengers-esque team up seems very unlikely. But since Disney has already created so many live action renditions of it's classic stories, they might as well have fun with it.

Top 10 Disney Princesses

Here are my top 10 Disney Princesses. I'm not going by the official Disney Princess Line up, I'm going by who I think is deserving of the title. I'm not only doing the cartoon ones either. Also, Elsa is not on this list! She is a Queen, not a princess/

10. Snow White.

Today, Snow White is seen as an anti-feminist character. All she wants is to get married and cook food. But when you really think of it, she is the mother figure of these dwarfs. she teaches them manners and sings to them, and Anyone who says being a Mother is easy, clearly has never been one.

9. Giselle

Giselle is Unique, because she is the only princess to be both cartoon and real. And she's also the first Princess to learn what a real relationship is supposed to be like. 

8. Vanellope Von Schweetz 

If you take Strawberry Shortcake and mix her with Mario Kart, then you will get Vanellope. What I love about Vanellope is that she had an option to become a Princess, but Instead gave it up to be president. 

7. Ariel 

Ariel is a Mermaid, and everyone loves Mermaids. I know I do. She also has a beautiful singing voice. But it's not the typical boring Siren's Melody. She has range, like a Broadway singer. She also has pretty red hair.

6.  Mulan

Mulan is Disney's first Asian princess. Her Father is going to be sent to war, so she disguises herself as a man and takes his place. She's also the first Princess to wield a weapon. 

5. Mia Thermopolis

Mia Thermopolis Is Anne Hathaway's breakout role. A San Francisco Uggy who finds out her Grandmother is a Queen, which makes her a Princess. After a makeover of her face and her personality, this Ugly Duckling manages to turn into a Swan. 

4. Anna 

I have to admit, Anna is a little on the slow side. She's not very smart, or graceful. So what's so likable about her? Her Optimism. She's always looking at the bright side of things. 

3. Tiana

Tiana is Disney's first Black Princess. Alot of famous black singers wanted to voice her, but it went to Broadway Actress Anika Noni Rose. She is committed and hard working. 

2. Cinderella

To be clear, no, I am not talking about the original Cinderella. I'm talking about the 2015 revamp. This Cinderella took what was good from the original, and added a modern twist to it. She doesn't meet the prince at the ball, she meets him in the forest, after she saves a stag from being hunted. 

Honorable Mention

Belle

1. Rapunzel

Fact: The Rapunzel story is my favorite fairy tale. Ever. And when I found out Disney was doing a Rapunzel movie, I almost fainted. And when I saw it it didn't disappoint. Rapunzel was naive, spunky, ambitious and compassionate. Not to mention her beautiful golden hair. She's the best.
