Ummm, no they haven't; they've actually gone back to the princess formula after taking a break from it for 10 years. 3 out of their last 4 films have involved princesses as main character, and looking at Wikipedia, their next one has the Queen's sister (who I'm guessing will be called a princess) as the main character.
I should have clarified. They aren't giving them Princessy names. It's why Tangled was Tangled instead of Rapunzel. It's why Brave became Brave instead of The Bear and The Bow (granted that was a vague, uninteresting title). Not sure what the other film you are referring to is. But Brave was a Pixar film anyways - yeah yeah I know the House of Mouse owns them but they still do their own thing creatively.
They aren't marketing these movies as princess love stories anymore a la TLM and BATB.
If you are referring to Frozen, then that's not going to be a princess tale at all. Their movie plot is deviating heavily from the book story. They are dropping the whole damsel in distress angle from the past and going with tougher feminine characters. That's following a larger trend in the television/film industry.

Yeah, you're right as far as titles are concerned, which is absolutely retarded as far as I'm concerned.

Well the last few princesses haven't exactly been damsels in distress like some of the other Disney princesses have been. I think they're distancing themselves with that aspect over just distancing themselves from princesses.

If Disney is telling you tangled isn't a princess movie they are full of shite. I've seen this movie roughly 4 trillion times. I assure you its a princess movie.
