Before and after shots of Merida, the Scottish heroine of the Disney/Princess film "Brave." The makeover sparked controversy and an online opposition campaign via a Change.org petition.

Less than a year after the release of Disney's Brave, the show's leading lady Merida has been invited to join the rank of Disney princesses.

According to Boston.com, however, the move doesn't come without changes to the character that left some upset.

"Disney has unleashed a nation of protective mama bears, and they're furious about the makeovers Disney Princesses get once they become consumer products: exaggerated doe eyes, kissable lips, rising cheekbones and off-the-shoulder dresses," Boston.com reports.

What do you think about Disney's changes to Merida? Do you think making her a princess takes away some of her appeal? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
