1* CatharsisFactor: For those affected by HypeBacklash towards [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Jack]]/[[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Elsa]] pairing, the strip where a Jack Frost cosplayer hitting on Elsa get the freeze is rather satisfying.
2* EnsembleDarkhorse:
3** Leia is this, at first appearing in small cameos/supporting roles every now and then, to fully becoming a member of the Royal Court after ''Film/TheLastJedi'' premiered.
4** Vanellope too, appearing prominently a few weeks before ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'' premiered and having many appearances afterwards in future strips. She's pretty much joined the group at this point without even needing a "Meet the Princesses" card.
5* FridgeBrilliance:
6** The "Poker Face" strip, in which [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Elsa]] cleans out WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|AndTheSevenDwarfs}} and [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]] at poker. Creator/IdinaMenzel sung Music/LadyGaga's "Poker Face" in an episode of ''Series/{{Glee}}''.
7** Leia joining the princesses after ''Film/TheLastJedi'' makes some sense when you remember that she did so after becoming a Force Ghost. Do you really think telling her "no" in this state will accomplish anything?
8** [[http://amymebberson.tumblr.com/image/173367604874 Anna and Elsa being particularly traumatised]] after watching ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' makes perfect sense given that the movie contains two occurrences of [[spoiler:a character who had finally reconnected with a long-estranged sibling witnessing said sibling die]].
9* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
10** [[https://amymebberson.tumblr.com/post/85243800744/pocket-princesses-103-happy-mothers-day-please The Mother's Day strip.]] Basically, the princesses' three still-living mothers (Eudora, Queen Arianna, and Queen Elinor) all get together to be showered with hugs by all the Princesses who have a MissingMom (which is basically a lot of them).
11** The Memoriam to Creator/CarrieFisher.
12** Merida, Moana, Elsa and Vanellope all hanging out in UsefulNotes/LasVegas together on [[https://www.instagram.com/p/B8kH8oqpwqb/ Galentine's Week]]. Who says Princesses have to be in an OfficialCouple by the end of their film, hmm?
13* HilariousInHindsight:
14** [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]] being a huge ''Literature/HarryPotter'' {{fangirl}} is this with the announcement that Creator/EmmaWatson, who played Hermione Granger in the movies, was cast to play Belle in [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 the remake]].
15** Remember Belle's InelegantBlubbering over her wanting more ''Literature/HarryPotter''? In a way, [[Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild she'd get]] [[Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem her wish]].
16** Remember Vanellope trying to break down their door to get in? In ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', she zaps through the door to get into the princesses' room. (She later [[http://amymebberson.tumblr.com/image/179945050009 has a campaign]] to be recognized as a princess following Election Day 2018.)
17** Also, there was a strip where Elsa tried to get a “casual look”, only for all the other princesses to freak out. Now, ''all'' the princesses are getting casual outfits, once again, thanks to Vanellope.
18* UnexpectedCharacter:
19** After a handful of guest appearances, [[Franchise/StarWars Leia]] [[http://amymebberson.tumblr.com/post/170698127219/pocket-princesses-236-meet-leia-please-reblog fully joins the princesses]]. While everyone and their mother ([[http://amymebberson.tumblr.com/tagged/Leia-Organa including]] [[http://amymebberson.tumblr.com/post/34770817385/pocket-princess-36-reblog-dont-repost-early Amy herself]]) joked about Leia being a Franchise/DisneyPrincess after Disney purchased Creator/{{Lucasfilm}}, it was a given that she wouldn't ''actually'' join them, and the comic, despite being a {{Fan Webcomic|s}}, would reflect that. [[http://amymebberson.tumblr.com/post/168582819334/pocket-princesses-230-porg-princess-no-spoilers The comic]] in which Leia is named their PatronSaint (which is likely the impetus for her joining for real) {{lampshades}} this by jokingly announcing that ''a Porg'' would become the next princess, and showing a blackboard listing off other potential princesses from acquired properties (also poking fun at Disney's then-recent acquirement of Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox).

24-->[[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]] ('''''[[BreadEggsMilkSquick NO!]] [[NoJustNoReaction No!]] [[FlatWhat What?]]''''')
25** [[Franchise/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy]] makes a cameo in [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CWL-DSdPrKH/ This strip]], marking the first instance of [[GuestFighter a character outside of]] Creator/{{Disney}} (who has the rights to ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie'', but not the franchise as a whole) appearing in full.[[note]]Although [[OlderThanTheyThink he's not the first distributed-but-not-owned by Disney character to appear at all]]; that would be [[Anime/MyNeighborTotoro Totoro]] [[https://amymebberson.tumblr.com/post/35859534944/pocket-princesses-38 here]].[[/note]] The striking ArtStyleClash and subtle LampshadeHanging make it stand out even more.
26-->'''[[Series/MuppetsNow Joe the Legal Weasel]]:''' Speaking of legality, is ''this'' sitcom licensed & authorized by the Walt Disney Company?
27-->'''WesternAnimation/{{Raya|AndTheLastDragon}}:''' Don't ask me, it was like that when I got here.
