I love this article! But they never had the 2D design on the Disney Princess website so it was never removed, it was always the CGI design.

And I really don't understand why people are saying it's sexualized... Merida doesn't have huge boobs and she still looks like a person in the middle of her teen years in the face. The only thing that could be considered "sexual" is that she's showing some shoulder which is kind of ridiculous, but she doesn't show shoulder on everything. And she does seem skinnier, but compared to the other princesses, she's pretty normal-sized. But if I wanted anything to be changed with her redesign, it would be her waist.

Besides, I've seen what seems to be her new 2D design and her hair looks a lot curlier and her face doesn't look as "princess-fied." And she doesn't have glitter all the time and if she doesn't whenever she's with the other princesses, no one has glitter. Like I bought some fruit snacks and on the packaging for the individual packets, Merida looks different from the redesign that debuted and I found a lunchbox over at Target with her in her redesign and there are some pretty apparent different.

What I'm trying to say is, the redesign isn't perfect but the people who don't like the redesign need to understand that that redesign was merely for her coronation and is going to go away soon. And the products with her coronation redesign will still be around because the products were planned months ago (probably around the time Brave even came out).

Sorry for the long comment.
