They are on EVERYTHING. And even though I refuse to buy them, they have still snuck into my house via gifts from friends and relatives. My daughter knows their stories by heart without even seeing the movies. I am mostly bothered at the commercialism ("we can sell you any piece of junk just by slapping Cinderella on the package") but the warping of traditional fairy tales and the sheer whiteness of everything just makes it all the more infuriating. We have a board game in which the princesses are trying to get to the "ball"; they have to collect magic slippers as they go along a path, then they will be able to dance with their prince. Jasmine's in the game, but in the picture on the board she is the only princess who isn't dancing with her prince. Pocahontas and Mu-Lan have shown up only in Disney Princess Memory and never on Disney Princess bedsheets, sneakers, books about the Princesses... whereas Ariel, who is a freakin' fish-human hybrid, is included fairly often.
