I miss the days before the whole Disney-princess-pinkification of an entire gender. It is a source of pride for me that the first movie I saw in the cinemas was Batman Returns. I was given the option of either that or The Little Mermaid and my thought was to the effect of “Little Mermaid sounds so wank, fuck that, I want to see Batman!” becauseofthiswoman: paullicino: A Lego advert from 1981. “This is how Lego marketed to girls in 1981,” says the tweet that’s going round. “Wouldn’t it be nice if toy companies still marketed to girls this way.” Original tweet from author @_TimothyPower, discovered via Splash Damage writer @EdStern. Because of this woman… people are starting to rethink advertising for kids. And that makes me really really happy =)
