I rarely say this to you but I agree 1000000%

I think the Disneylands themselves are very much true reflections of the films ... all the intricate detail is almost fanatical from the imagineers...the only thing that they seem to loose the plot on is costumes.

Interestingly, the costumes are where the imagineers are least involved. They are more Entertainment based, and so the costume designers are the main source of creativity. I assume there are imagineers at least involved, but unlike the attractions or facades, they probably don't have as much creative input. And you're right, it shows.

Really? No change whatsoever ?

Well, a little creativity is okay, like I like that Cinderella's coach is glass like her slippers, that's cool, but they use way too much "creativity" to make many things not really look like the Disney versions.

They didn't make the castles follow the film to every detail. They went all different so that you hardly recognize them as the ones from the films. They didn't even put the clock in the tower for Cinderella's.

Well, I suppose I should amend my statement; I haven't been to the American parks, only Paris. And THAT is a thing of storybook beauty.

I really like the idea of Pocahontas having feather earrings. I wish she didn't have gems plastered all over her deerhide dress (that would look so tacky in real life and make old pretty dresses made of animal hide and decorated with beads look even better) and I wish she had her old necklace.

Here's something funny to think about: imagine the princesses with lice. People living in castles in the middle ages always had lice and other nasty creepy crawlies getting on them, the food, everything. I wonder what little girls who've had lice would do with that thought.

This is a new one from the Disney Store website, with new drawings of Snow White, Cinderella and Rapunzel.

Pocahontas' redraw is a step in the right direction. She was far from being a stiffed faced masculine mannequin in her own film!

Yeah, and imagine some of them being heavily scarred from smallpox, as it was pretty common as well.

This is annoying though, as they aren't sticking to the new designs or going back to their old ones ... sort of a mush in the middle. Especially Pocahontas; she goes back and forth in her design all the time.

Lol. She almost looks like Joan Rivers.

Wow, the number of people complaining about the new designs on Facebook.

I'd say Lindsey Lohan. And not the hot 2005 version, the modern Linsey.

Aurora looks like Regina George and Jasmine looks like Kim Kardashian.

Kim Kardashin even cosplayed as Jasmine.

I love Ariel's pose, dress and hair ... but I'm not quite sure what they have done to her face? Mind you, all the Princesses have had some decidedly dodgy clipart in their time ...

Well, there is a new website:

Um...I'm a little bit mix on Mulan's new dress. I mean, she looks very nice, but I don't think yellow is her color.
