Those are pretty cute. Not really a fan of Snow White's or Merida's though. I'm surprised Mulan made it in. But no Pocahontas. I personally think the Pocahontas toddler doll the Disney store sells is the best one of the set.

Aren't these based on Klen keane's designs? I remember hearing he helped de age the princeses for marketing a while back.

Clipart of the princesses in toddler and baby form existed much prior to Glen Keane's and Mark Henn's involvement in the Animator's Collection line of dolls. The clipart posted above are not based on any of the drawings they did for the line.

That´s way too much already.
Basically Disney=girls already. Great way to diversify! Awesome job Disney!
Since when Ariel had legs as a toddler?
Since when they all had their dresses and tiaras at that age?
What happened to Merida´s head? HUUUUGE
Next theme to explote from this line coming from Disney... Old Disney Princesses!

Maybe it's just me, but the child clipart is much more disturbing than the regular with the short skirts and make-up overdose, particularly with the Walt-era princesses. Mulan is just strange... Rapunzel and Tiana look cute though (Merida looks like she has hooves instead of feet; she reminds of the little boy from Two and a Half Men).

Merida's head IS huge. Or maybe it is an optical effect based on the hair...
If any guy dressed up as Peter Pan for Halloween around my neighbourhood, they would just be looking for an ass-kicking by Darth Vader, Freddy Krueger and heck, even Yoda.
In fact, Peter Pan could possibly be the single-most un-cool character for guys. Even if you dressed up as Princess Aurora in drag, you could get a few laughs. Not so with Peter Pan.

Well, they also have clipart of her as a mermaid.

Since they found true love at that age.

Probably cause it look more like it's catering to a pedophile demography.

I agree Snow, Cindy and Aurora look like the Chipettes. And Merida's head is HUGE! I also love she is the one with the most sparkles. Take that parents with no lives!!! Your precious Merida has already come to the dark side. Beware the glitter and sequins!
I actually think Belle, Mulan and Ariel look the best even if Ariel has legs. I think Jasmine is the freakiest looking. She just looks like her normal self but shrunken down.
I remember one Halloween my cousin dressed up as Peter Pan and everyone made fun of him. That same year I was Leatherface I had fun chasing him around with mah chainsaw! He is really obnoxious though so don't feel bad ;D

That's it exactly.
Also, to be clear, I didn't dress up as Peter Pan by choice (I hate him and most of that movie) and I did not wear it to school or around anyone my age that I knew.

Honestly, the only reason he’s so unpopular for children is that he wears tights. Which gets the “Ewww gay” reaction from little boys.

Goodness, those toddler models are just too darn freaky to be cute ! The Glen Kene ones are much more preferable to me, they look genuinely sweet.

Biggest pet-peeve ? Cinderella didn't look like that as a young kid. The whole collection seems weird and creepy.

You think so? I say she's one of the few who look like a normal child. The rest (with maybe 2 other exceptions) look like their in one of those child pageants.

Let´s see...
Once we got the golden princesses:
Other time was jewel/over saturated/tacky princesses; even Tiana made it!:
Now is the sparkle era.
What do you think comes next?
Scratch that... the Star Wars Princesses stage:

To be honest, I don't see the difference between the nauseating ways 'femininity' is being projected onto young girls in beauty pageants like on 'Toddlers & Tiaras' and what Disney is trying to achieve here.
I know Disney has crossed into controversial territory before regarding representation of women, but I find this to be reaching a complete new dimension of offensiveness.

Notice how the mothers of the girls who are in that show are usually fat, ugly, and unattractive? They're using their daughters to overcompensate what they fucking lack as a mean for self-insert delusional fantasy they have. It's same with the third wave tumblr feminist, who are mostly unattractive and bland. They bitch because they wish they were pretty and attractive and use "lol feminism" as a self insecure mechanism "put down" or "denounce" pretty girls and such.
I have to deal with these bitches at my fucking college. urgh.

Yes, it's sad that they are insecure, and that women are unconsciously groomed to feel as if their attractiveness to men is their only reason in life.
