 |

I couldn`t help feeling disappointed, while viewing the princesses new look. They are decked out in jewel covered outfits. Almost every piece of merchandise has the girls dressed this way. I guess we have the influence of tween pop star Hannah Montana and High school musical to thank for this. The Disney girls look like a story book version of the rich and snooty Sharpay (sp). She`s the self proclaimed starlet in High school musical. It`s like Disney has taken a step backward and destroyed what took years to create :
A thoughtful wise and independent girl/princess who cares about other things besides gowns, balls and princes. Thankfully Mulan hasn`t been too tainted by the influence of pop culture`s glamor girls. Though not a princess, she is still added into the Princess collection.
The next thing you know, there will be a Pop star trio of Ariel , Belle and Jasmine . I shutter at the thought of the Disney channel`s Cheetah Girls. As far as Disney goes these days being superficial and self absorbed seems to be the new trend.

Which look do you mean; do you have a link?
(Welcome, by the way!)

They actually did do something like that, but it was with Belle, Ariel and Aurora inspired dolls, I think 
But I JUST had this conversation elsewhere over how gaudy the girls' outfits are getting. They were getting ridiculous long before Hannnah Montana, though. The line in general is a rant in itself  |

| Thanks for the link , Syera. That`s the look I was talking about. I haven`t been following the Disney Princess franchise as closely as I used to. So that`s why I was shocked by the change. I knew the girls were always captured in silly pop star poses , but I didn`t know their costumes had a drastic make over. Maybe we could make a visual time line of the princesses tragic descent . So we could remember the way they used to be. |

| I've thought about doing that with my Jasmine dolls. Show the first one they released and then the latest one. The difference is dramatic. |
