Disney Sexism?

Disney apparently made a more risqué version of Merida from "Brave".

I didn't know that:

• Brenda Chapman, the creator of the movie, wanted Merida to be a role model for young girls.
• Chapman modeled Merida after her teenage daughter.
• Merida was supposed to break the mold of glamorous Disney princesses.

I thought this article was outrageous. Disney had no right to recreate Merida, and so provocatively as well. I think that Disney needs a taste of reality here.

My one question is: Disney, what were you thinking?
