Over the weekend, [Merida](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merida_(Disney)) from Pixar’s [Brave](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=r*bqlTuiXSo&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fmovie%252Fbrave%252Fid544101708%253Fuo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30)[^f4255], was coronated as the 11th Disney Princess. As you can imagine, there are tons of great pictures and video of the event.

I am wicked jealous I did not get to attend[^fn1].
Of course, even a celebration like this is not without its controversy. Brenda Chapman, who received writing and directing credits for *Brave* but was [fired during its production[(http://articles.latimes.com/2011/may/25/entertainment/la-et-women-animation-sidebar-20110525), [is not pleased with the 2D version of the Pixar character.](http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/blogs/beth-kassab/os-brave-creator-joins-petition-against-disneys-merida-make-over-20130513,0,1342190.post) There is an in-depth rundown of the [whole kerfuffle](http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThemeParkInsider/~3/Lxl5oYIM0XU/) at *Theme Park Insider.*
