I really just mentioned Alice and Lilo because their films are popular, and because Alice and Megara (and Esmeralda/Tinker Bell) had been used on merchandise in the '90s. I have stickers from that time saved in a box somewhere just because I know its sort of a rarity now. Aurora's style doesn't really fit alongside the others for me, but I think they often soften it in the merchandise artwork. I think Kida and Pocahontas are other princess-type characters with a stylized look. I'm honestly surprised they haven't pulled in Anastasia yet considering Merida is in it; I thought that was the direction we were heading, but it's taking longer than I would've thought.
I think Mulan is better than Pocahontas and Moana, but as far as how popular and well-known the characters are, I'd put all three around the same level. I think all characters are ones most of the general public would know, where Raya and Asha will probably have a problem there. Mirabel, IDK. I know Encanto was more successful as far as breaking into the zeitgeist anyway and selling merchandise, but I'm not sure if the average person would recognize the name Mirabel right off the way they would Moana or Mulan.
