Disney pulls sexy princess after complaints

Hundreds of thousands of parents have validated Walt Disney's saying "All dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." 

In this case, Disney (DIS) has listened to the more than 210,000 petitioners who complained about the sexy makeover given to the fiery-haired Merida, heroine of "Brave."

On late Thursday, Disney told MSN moneyNOW that the makeover had been designed as a "one-time effort."

As reported Friday, parents were up in arms over Merida's sexy makeover (pictured, right) to get her ready for her coronation into the Disney princess lineup.
