I would start a petition if it weren't for that someone said Don Hahn said that we could see Cinderella's restoration being fixed for the next release!

I cracked up when I realised which expression she seemed to be using. XD
I edited that picture to make this and posted it on my Tumblr page.

Snow White is looking slightly psychotic by the way. She scares me.

Just looked what happened because of that idiotic controversy. Disney won't be using 2D clip-art for Merida anymore. :x

They just updated the Disney Princess website with Merida in CG. It looks awful and so out of place. Especially since Rapunzel, the other CG princess, remains in 2D form.

... I'm sorry to do this, but... Should I... even bother bringing this up? ... You do realize that MERIDA WAS IN NATIVE CG SINCE ITS PREMIERE DATE!
Why does the site use Rapunzel in 2D instead of 3D? ... I do not know that. All I know is that they shouldn't have done that. If the film and its short are in 3D CGI, why bother changing the character?

I wonder if they'll quietly rework her 2D design. :scratch: It seems kind of ridiculous for Disney to bow down to the pressure over her sexy new hair and cheekbones. :-P

This looks to be the exact, same issue as with Mulan: people complained that Mulan was too glammed up, so they toned her down. I am sure Merida is going through the same changes, to make sure that she isn't as glam as on her first design. My main issue with the clipart was that she sported too much makeup, but nothing I felt was atrocious or anything like that.

People just need to find better stuff to complain over....

So, just because the film was CG, they can't have artwork of the character? They aren't changing the character at all, they're just representing them in a different medium. One that stays consistent with the rest of the line-up. Sotiris is right, Merida looks out of place now that she is in CG. I assume we'll see new 2D art of her at some point. I hope we do. The whole thing was so exaggerated.

So was Rapunzel and look at her in the site.

Yeah, it's so disappointing that she isn't in her 2D Form. Everyone was complaining for nothing. It wasn't that bad! Heck, I showed my mom and sister the new picture of Merida. And even they said that it’s nothing at all and people are overracting and they should get over it. And my mom even brought up Jasmine who’s wayyyy more sexualied than Merida and no one is complaining.

Yeah, I have to admit for a bit that it does look a bit off right now... but I'm just saying that they might as well let them be the film was natively in 3D. ... I'm not saying to not change anything in 3D-2D or 2D-3D. ... God, the inconsistency

Seems like everyone else is okay with Disney having Ariel and Jasmine in a sexy form, but not okay when there's strange sexual references in Disney films... Would you excuse me for a bit?

I agree. If 3D looks awkward next to 2D, they should just avoid adding 3D characters.

I don't think that's what he meant. He's saying they SHOULD add the CG characters, and just leave the art in CG

I know exactly what he said. I agree they shouldn't changed them to 2D, but for different reasons.
