Girls don't need *Maxim-*ized princesses. It makes me wonder what kind of "weigh less, wear less" messages I absorbed from Jasmine's impossible waist-to-hip ratio or Ariel's Madonna-style seashell "top." Merida's (dropped) neckline may not reveal her cleavage, or her navel, but the fact that Disney felt the need to vamp her up is unsettling. The 'Brave' character got the modern makeover just in time for her crowning as an official Disney Princess. Critics were also very critical of the makeover, saying it turned Merida into just. Merida 2.0 has a whittled waist, frizz-free hair and bright, almond-shaped eyes. It's another thing to turn her into a self-consciously sexual girl-woman.

To top it off, Merida's awesomely untamed, frizzy mane has suspiciously been transformed into glossy Victoria's Secret hair. You only have to be brave enough to see it, Merida valiantly proclaims in Walt Disney’s 2012 Pixar-animated film Brave. And is that black eyeliner we detect rimming her upper lash line? Her trim waist is now so narrow that she must have broken a few ribs or be seriously sucking it in, and her kick-ass bow and arrow have been replaced with an innocuous belted sash. A few key details to note: Her already bright blue doe eyes now appear even brighter, even bluer, even doe-ier.
