Re: Disney Princess Criticism - What's Your Opinion?
I don't think it's as much a matter of era as much as like the rest of the world, the Disney films he's most familiar with are the Walt ones, the Big Four from the 90s, and then Frozen. Those are the films most deeply inserted into the public consciousness and what everyone has either seen or heard of.
Thanks for that link.

I would want a CGI movie where the humans look more like those from Pocahontas, Mulan. More realistic sized eyes. Every CGI movie has those giant cartoony eyes style, it is starting to get boring.Disney Duster wrote:Wow Amy! All of those pictures were amazing! I liked Rapunzel's the best! She looked so real!

The reason for the bigger. cartoony eyes is to avoid the uncanny valley, so CGI movies with more realistic eyes could be problematic in that way.

Oh, I never noticed. Well, then if that's true I get it.

We think that Ariel and Belle are the most popular and yet here we are:

Even Barbie in her CGI movies and Odette in CGI Swan princess movies have more normal sized eyes than any CGI Disney princess.farerb wrote:The Pixar characters have smaller eyes and they look fine.Disney Duster wrote:The reason for the bigger. cartoony eyes is to avoid the uncanny valley, so CGI movies with more relaistic eyes could be problematic in that way.

Twitter is going to feature an older, more "woke" crowd. Look at children who are Disney's main demographic and I guarantee you that Ariel and Belle will win any day of the week over Mulan and Moana. Also just look at the box office numbers for Ariel and Belle's films compared to those of these newer "princesses."farerb wrote:We think that Ariel and Belle are the most popular and yet here we are:

I would like to see more princesses with smaller eyes like Pocahontas as well. I hate the bug-eyed CGI pattern that Rapunzel started. The Barbie films did an amazing job depicting beautiful heroines with normal-sized eyes.DisneyBluLife wrote:Even Barbie in her CGI movies and Odette in CGI Swan princess movies have more normal sized eyes than any CGI Disney princess.farerb wrote: The Pixar characters have smaller eyes and they look fine.

Amanda Seyfried as Rapunzel and Emma Stone as Merida are gorgeous

Finally non-princesses are getting dolls at the Disney Store! I've so psyched for Esmeralda, Alice, and Wendy especially. This is the first time the Disney Store has ever made a Wendy doll.

Re: Disney Princess Criticism - What's Your Opinion?
I had sold my Disney Barbie collection & have no $ regardless, but those look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If Tink's bangs are just kind of hanging there, it's a little weird, but besides that they look so good. I wonder if Esmeralda has her earring in; can't see it in the photo.

Tinkerbell doll looks like to be based on the CGI Tinkerbell movies.

Must be. I think Disney girls have such epic bangs, it's hard to translate them to dolls!DisneyBluLife wrote:Tinkerbell doll looks like to be based on the CGI Tinkerbell movies.
Tink and Wendy are the same size. Kids acting out the movie with their dolls might make it more violent...

That's so awesome!
I'm glad to see actual modern kids still like these characters even if they aren't heavily marketed by Disney.

I don't like the modern clothes some of the characters are wearing (like the guys) but otherwise I think this is pretty creative.

Re: Disney Princess Criticism - What's Your Opinion?
I went to the Disney Store last week and bough a few of those dolls! I got Wendy and Alice and two Megs. I already have the designer Meg doll but I can never have enough Meg! I wanted Esmeralda too but they didn't have her for some reason. I'll probably get Tink later too. I wish they had given her bangs that looked more like the ones in the movie. And I wish Meg had her curls. Also could do without all the glitter on the outfits.
