Disney had a major influence but we can't forget Barbie
I honestly love how Princess Guinevere as the main female mascot for a franchise can also match Barbie so well.
And knowing Barbie we can imagine what this franchise might be a bit like In-Universe with its focus on her and mixed with the fusion of Disney Princesses.
I just think its neat.
I also made that connection when I was watching it and god it's so interesting to me that Gwen has Barbie themes as well because it literally brings to mind the idea of a female character/mascot being seen as a "you can be whatever you want!" Figure while we are blatantly shown time and time again that in this world girls CAN'T be what they want. Andi is bashed on time and time again for being a crownie when she tells people time and time again that it's just a job like any other and she just needs the money. Frankie is constantly shot down from her dream of becoming an engineer for the park labs and also misgendered and abused by her boss. And don't forget Gwen herself, who has so little agency in what she does that she has pins in her cheeks that make her smile ALL THE TIME.
So yeah I think the Barbie parallels are fun
