Penelope Mountbatten Hapsburg Hohenzollern Moulan Pocahontas.
Mountbatten - British royalty.
Hapsburg - Austrian, or Spanish.
Hohenzollern - Prussian.

And she's not a real princess, you know. Just like Captains
McAllister and Infinity are not real Captains.

Eartha Kitt was Catwoman on the 60s Batman TV show, BTW.

Mr. Museum (not a real museum)

I thought that was what was alluded to with the "Moulan" and "Pocahontas",
two Disney-made princesses.

Well, if you want to get technical, neither Mulan nor Pocahontas are
portrayed as princesses in the Disney movies. (Pocahontas is the
daughter of a chieftan, but still that's not a "princess".)

Pocahontas was a real person. And the daughter of a Chieftan, as you
pointed out, Don. But she was no "Disney-made".

But for marketing purposes, Disney often includes them in the "Disney
Princesses" line; see
http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Princess-Figurine-Set/dp/B000BK7JTO for
example. Hence them being "Disney made" princesses. I think it's safe to
say that that's what was being referenced in the joke.
