What’s wonderful about her character in the film is that ultimately, she is able to escape from the traditional princess requirements and yet still be a princess. In Brave, Merida represents the opposite of the traditional princess. Such a vehement response to the portrayal of a fictional character seems a bit absurd, but the redesign essentially ignores the successes of Brave, and represents a step backward for Disney.
There is even a petition against the new Merida, which has gotten over 230,000 supporters. Children and adults of all ages were delighted by Merida and the film has been a huge success-which is why many parents are outraged at Disney’s “makeover” of Merida for her official induction to the Disney princess lineup.
Disney/Pixar’s 2012 animated film Brave was groundbreaking, not only for its exceptional graphics, but for its portrayal of an unconventional princess, the independent sharpshooter, Merida.
