Colouring Pages.

So for Christmas I asked for some copic ciao pens, and they are amazing.
As a complimentary gift, I got 3 Disney Princesses Colouring Books (Which, yes, i asked for. Next time they will be Dragon Ball, okay? I promise).

And up until now, i had not realised how poor the anatomy of these characters is. (Of course it's not enough to ruin my childhood memories, but still, it was kinda disappointing...)
Especially the hands, like, they are WAY too small for their bodies and most of these drawings have one hand with soft and rounded fingers, and the other one always looks like claws on a bird or some shit.

Like, I'd show you, but you'll laugh at my colouring madskillz.
And like, okay, I get that these are supposed to be for like 5 year olds who are content with anything from purple hair to green faces, (and not 16 year olds who are too perfectionist for their own good,) but like, COME ON. The quotes are like, ARGH.

"Ariel looks pretty as she swims amongst the bubbles." Really? Like, okay, she's a mermaid and everything, but come on...
"Ariel enjoys swimming in the ocean." HAVE YOU NEVER EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE?! SHE WANTS TO BE A HUMAN, DOESN'T SHE?! EVEN DISNEY GETS THEIR STORIES WRONG?!
"Aladdin takes Jasmine riding on a wild horse." Um, what? Does anyone remember this happening?
Get you a picture too, just so you see how "wild" this horse is.



Yeah, PRETTY wild.

And there was one more thing that made me angry.
There were pictures of Belle, Snow White, Aurora, Ariel and Jasmine. Where is Pocahontas? Honestly.
Like, COME ON! Racist much?
I mean, she's as good as a princess, right?
OMG AND ESMERALDA FROM JEAN DE FLORETTE!! (lol, somebody help me pl0x)
LIKE, BRING ON THE GYPSIES!! (And the pikeys TOO!!)

Anyways, I'm off to catch a movie now.
Wanna come with? We're meeting at 6 o'clock, so you might wanna hurry up.
See you around. <3
