[Rumor] Princesses to look like CP look

[JCSkipr79]

Word is from my friends, who are "friends" w/ certain toons, that the Princesses (and Princes?) WILL be going to the new Lady Of The Night/Snooki look done by Consumer Products. If this comes to pass I AM DONE. Walt Disney's Cinderella does NOT have matty hair like she just got outta bed and Eisner's Belle does NOT have a come hither look w/ Housewives hair.......This will destroy our childhood memories more than any closed ride.

the new Lady Of The Night/Snooki look done by Consumer Products.

What is this look you refer to? Did Disney release some kind of "Bratz" style line of princess dolls? Without more background or any kind of substantiation, this sounds like pure rumor to me...

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

Ugggh. That new look that Consumer Products rolled out over the summer. Will be official in Fall. Line and images are already in DisneyStore and there was a whole thread about it on DVDizzy.com

They basically look like a cross between Bratz and Real Housewives

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

Can you tell us what specific "look" you're referring to? Dolls | Toys | Disney Store

The Animator's Collection? I have a hard time believing they'd be able to effectively recreate that look on a real human being (especially one that's 16 or older).

The "Singing" look? Other than maybe slightly different wigs I'm not sure how that would result in concrete changes to the characters' appearance... The main thing that sticks out in that "look" is an absurdly large head in relation to an absurdly narrow waist.

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

Are we talking about the artwork that features the princess at the top? I mean it looks a tad different, but to me it's just a different stylized interpretation.

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

Yes, that is THE OFFICIAL new redesigned Princess look per The Powers That Be at Consumer Products and I assume Iger. The original 1937, 1950, 1959, 1989, 1991, 1992 designs of said Princesses are HISTORY. No more tradition for Iger to worry about.

I think we will have to wait a couple of years to see if this is true. This means they would have to change every piece of Princess Merchandise.

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

They are already doing it. Look at the DisneyStore site. Walt Disney's 1950 Cinderella has been replaced by a marketing nightmare.

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

Oh, come on now. It's simply a different style of the princesses, and I highly doubt that's the new official princess look.

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

The Real Housewives of Disney. Get ready for this to be the new show/Meet n Greet/Parade character look!

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

Ariel, Tiana, Mulan, Pocahontas, Jasmine Snow White and Rapunzel don't look that much different.
Aurora's is looks simular, but different.
Belle..I would prefer for her hair to be smooth, instead of having broken strands of hair on her head.
Cinderella looks a tad Justin Beiberish
I am not sure if they wanted to make the hair look more realistic...

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

I dunno, I don't see how having some stylized images of the princesses is any different from having merch with various different eras of Mickey's look, or the "Cuties" versions of all the characters. It's not like Disney is pulling a George Lucas and going back and changing how the princesses look in their actual movies

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

Really, nothing has changed since 1985 -- trendy hair on Princesses is just more Eisner-style marketeering. It's the same M.O. as when marketing major Gary Krisel, head of Disney Music in the 1980's, had a hit with the "Disco Minnie" single and merchandise campaign. Eisner made him head of Disney TV Animation -- a division where marketing drove everything they did.

Year in and year out, you can count on two things from Disney marketeering: 1) they always try to overlay what's hot today on the Disney brands of yesterday, and 2) they rarely exhibit good taste or respect for the brands they're hyping.

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

not bad, i can see why they might want to update a little, and it isnt that much.

Oh. Ugh. Do not want.

we cant just say no to every change.

Re: Princesses to look like CP look

This should be INTERESTING, to say The Least....
So far, is it JUST Disney Store?
