I know right! They RUINED her! The one of the main reasons I loved her so much was because she didn't look all "perfect"!!!!

The first Disney princess who wasn't perfect...

Well, except for Mulan. We CAN'T forget about her!!!

Omigod! Β Considering the humor in Frozen, Anna would totally say something like that. Β And then Elsa would make some comment about how air-headed, or at least not complex, Disney heroines before the 80s were.

Really, it's all about marketing and selling merchandise. Where we as adults and young adults are fine with Merida as she is, children are the biggest consumers of the toys and merchandising that is made. So it needs to appeal to them. 90% of the pictures and dolls here are from outside companies (such as Mattel) that Disney hires to make their merch. So they do with Merida what they think will sell.
As for the illustrations on the bottom left and right corners, those are created by the Disney corporation directly. What they are doing here is trying to tie in the original design of Merida with the dress she wears at the parks (parksandresorts.wdpromedia.com⦠.

itΒ΄s a bad example for kids: YOU MUST BE BEAUTYFULL!!!

The bottom line to marketers isn't about her being a good or bad example. It's about selling merchandise. It's about moving product and supplying what the buyers will consume. I work at The Disney Store and I will tell you that the "pretty" Merida sells better. I don't agree with it, but it's really not the worst one. In my opinion, the fact that they are white washing the ethnic princesses and changed Cinderella's face are much worse.

youΒ΄re right
but I think the "normal" merida doll is more beautyful!

I like Merida just the way she is. I mean, I love the Disney princesses, but sometimes they make me feel insecure because they over do it on the prettiness scale.

I thought these movies were supposed to be good examples. I used to put on so much make up because I wanted to look like them, and now I've got pimples dotting my forehead! Fuck children's make up sets.

sad part: It's the only make up my mom will allow me to wear until I graduate college.

yeppers. Just like they won't give me "the talk" until I graduate college. But I already know. I've known years ago.

They gone way to much into the "pretty princess" thing. In the movie she always wore a dress that a commoner would wear, showing she hates her status. Now . . . so not her.
π: 0 β©: 1
She HATES to be a princess!
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly! The girly stuff is so not her!
π: 0 β©: 1
me- Β -that people who ruined Merida
π: 0 β©: 1
Nice. I like that.
π: 0 β©: 1
technically, the only dress merida hated was the one that was too tight/restrictive and had to cover her hair.
but then we see her the rest of the movie wearing a different dress. instead of going into the cliche- "she dresses like a boy" thing.
I think merida is the kind of girl who while dresses not being her favorite thing, she doesn't hate it- she just hates them when they're stuffy

She was perfect before they tried to make her look sexy. She looked like a normal person.

Totally. Ugh. I love the animation studios, but sometimes I want to punch Disney's advertising department.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes. But then they have strokes of brilliance. And then I can't punch them. Darn it.

I agree with you here! she was perfect before, now they just ruined her!!! what have you done disney!!!!

"I just made her Look like an anorexic princess with perfect hair to give children an very bad Idea of what it is to be perfect"

*shakes head* some things are not ment to be.

I agree...being feminine and glamorous doesn't fit Mer XD
*though sometimes I can't help drawing her this way Β°////Β°*

Yeah,I know..I don't like when autors suddenly change a character's apearanace and personality. For example,older!Hiccup. I don't really like him now,because I got used to his cute adorable self...same with Merida...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah
The first time I saw the older hiccup I thought he's was from another movie!
π: 0 β©: 1
