Audrey said, ‘She looks weird!’ when I showed her the new picture.” The changes are ridiculous and confusing to young fans. Molly, mom of a 4-year-old, said, “She was perfect the way she was. Most of the moms we spoke to felt that the change to Merida’s appearance was disappointing and gave the wrong message to young children. The petition already has more than 16,000 signatures and looks to gain even more momentum in the coming days. “By redesigning her to fit the mold of the Disney Princess line and making her skinnier, sexier and more mature in her appearance, Disney is sending the message that for girls and women to have value - to be recognized as true princesses - they must conform to this narrow definition of beauty,” she explained. Petition going strongĬarolyn Danckaert, co-founder of A Mighty Girl, decided to start a petition on just three days ago objecting to Merida’s redesign. Disney has announced that she will be part of its Disney Princess line, but fans are crying foul after Disney revealed that the new Princess Merida is slimmer, sexier and curvier than the movie shows her to be. She strives to make her own way in life and has been admired by fans (big and little alike) for being a strong female character that isn’t picture perfect - in other words, she looks like a real girl. Merida from Disney and Pixar’s Academy Award-winning film Brave is a Scottish princess who doesn’t have much of an interest in becoming the proper royal lady her mother wishes her to be. Do you think Merida was perfect the way she was, or is the “upgrade” no big deal? Merida appears skinnier, more mature and sexier.
