'Brave' SEXISM!

So we all know of the Disney Princesses, I know I do. You can't go into a store without finding some merchandise tied to them (thank you Disney).  And we all know that Disneys' Princesses are very feminine and flowing hair and dresses and all that stuff (kill me).  But now Disney has done that with the 11th Disney Princess Merida, the independent, free spirited Scott princess. I mean look what they did to the girl!!!!!
  Marin filmmaker Brenda Chapman, blasted Disney's sexy makeover of her movie's feisty heroine, Merida, as "a blatantly sexist marketing move based on money."  They gave her "sultry" eyes, "Barbie hips" and made her wild hair all "perfect".  They took away her bow and arrow WHICH IS ICONIC to Merida!  They gave her a glittery flowy dress something Merdia, a tomboy, would DESPISE!  "They have been handed an opportunity on a silver platter to give their consumers something of more substance and quality — THAT WILL STILL SELL — and they have a total disregard for it in the name of their narrow minded view of what will make money," Chapman wrote. "I forget that Disney's goal is to make money without concern for integrity. Silly me."

Opinions;
(1)DIE DISNEY! Why would you do this? Merida is supposed to be a princess to break the mold, not become a sexy princess!!! How dare you!  This is not what we want to show when we show Disney princesses! Merida is independent strong girl who can get along just fine without your (Disney's) little "make-over". *rants about outrage for another 10 minutes...*.....Okay I'm done.
(2) I refer you to above opinion....you really don't want me to give another opinion do you?

Questions;
WHY!?!
