Getting an almost surprising amount of attention this week was the news that Disney had given Brave’s Merida an apparent makeover as they made the character part of their “official” Princess Collection (even though she’s technically a Pixar heroine). It would seem, however, as though the studio possibly took notice, as the AV Club has pointed out that Disney has removed the more slender, hand-drawn version of her from their website. Whether or not this means they have actually gotten rid of her so-called “new design” remains to be seen.
Has Disney gotten rid of Merida’s so-called “makeover”?
