I love the Disney Princesses, my favourite was always Ariel and I wrote a short while back about the controversy that erupted when Disney did a frankly horrible redesign of Merida from Brave.
However I do want to make it clear that, as I mentioned with Belle from Beauty and the Beast, some of the later Disney Princesses do go beyond the "Princess Classic" character type. My, and others', issue is how these three dimensional characters are reduced to their looks alone in the name of merchandising.
The F Word featured an awesome article by Beth Startin that articulates this way better than I ever could. Go read!
