Well, it doesn't get more official than this! Merida is the 11th Disney Princess.

And somewhere, in some magical world, the real Merida feels like vomiting.

Nice sexy shoulders, M!

Needs more glitter.

What's with the crown? She looks like Wonder Woman.

[Scarred4life]

Is that a crown or a forehead band?

Regarding the clip-art that will be used for Merida:

A Disney spokesperson has reached out to emphasize that they have “many style guides from which merchandise is made from, so some images of Merida may be in 2D and some may still be 3D – it all depends on the product and what type of art is most appropriate.” She gave the examples that the 3D rendered version could be used on a backpack, while the 2D imagery seen here might be used on bedding.

The first Disney Princess storybook featuring Merida.

Ooooooh, sparkles!

So, the sparkles have begun

Her hair doesn't really look good in that flat style.


And it needs more sparkles!

cinderella looks great in that image. punzie just looks strange without pascal on her shoulder. merida looks quite good, but at the same time off somehow. would be more fitting if she was alone with some forest backdrop or something.

I'm all for sparkles, but it moderation- did a craft store throw up on Rapunzel?

[DisneyBluLife]

How can Rapunzel be in front of Cinderella, when Cinderella is bigger than Rapunzel?

Woh woh woh.... has Cinderella's hair makeover been undone ?!?!?!

We have several “Limited Time Magic” surprises to share with Disney Parks Blog readers today, including details for a special celebration to officially welcome Merida, into the Disney Princess Royal Court. As a part of “Limited Time Magic,” all 10 Disney Princesses will come together on May 11 in honor of their newest member, Merida, the heroine from Disney•Pixar’s film, “Brave” as the 11th Disney Princess character. The celebration begins at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday at Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom Park. At the park, you’ll also be able to commemorate the occasion with a limited edition Merida-inspired T-shirt created for toddlers and youth, available at the Emporium inside Magic Kingdom Park while supplies last.

cinderella looks great in that image.

She does, she looks like herself!

Woh woh woh.... has Cinderella's hair makeover been undone ?!?!?!

Oh man is it good to see her in her true look!

Woh woh woh.... has Cinderella's hair makeover been undone ?!?!?!

Let's all hope so.

[sunhuntin]

She does, she looks like herself!

she looks classical, like an illustration for a little golden book, or a trial piece by one of her animators or something. i wonder what the other two would look like if they made them more "old fashioned" looking.

Though the composition is awkward and the sparkles are... silly, the illustrations themselves look lovely. Cinderella looks like herself, Rapunzel looks perfect in this form and Merida works well in my opinion.

Let's hope they update all merchandise with these improved images.
