* ''[[Mulan]]'': The title character [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A_Rl8aQxII has a whole song] about how uncomfortable she is in girly attire and trying to be the traditional, submissive woman her parents want her to be. The whole ''message'' of the film is about how much more she can accomplish as her tomboyish, [[Action Girl]] self than trying to be something she's not (whether that be a traditional girl or disguised as a man.) But good luck finding any evidence of that in her merchandise: Ever since she was added to the [[Disney Princess]] line, it's all pink, sparkles, and girly accessories like mirrors and combs. Just look at her in [[media:dp_gowns_66.jpg|the Disney Princess page image]] and [http://images2.fanpop.com/image/polls/430000/430875_1272486138468_full.jpg compare with this].
* In ''[[Toy Story 2]]'', Jessie's owner Emily had one of these, but with undesirable results in regards to Jessie.
* ''[[Brave (Animation)|Brave]]'': Pretty much every doll of Mérida, a [[Fiery Redhead]] and [[Badass Princess]] with [[Quirky Curls]] and [[Wild Hair]], looks far more well-groomed and ladylike than she really is. The [http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0yl7zR3E41r1wmszo1_500.jpg Disney store model] is closer to the original, but the [http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzb1trgGZq1r1wmszo1_500.jpg Mattel collection] barely resembles her. Also, her formerly simple dresses are now [[Gem -Encrusted]], and her [[Cool Horse]], Angus, a massive Clydesdale in the movie, is shrunk down to [http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m40wd3BsAe1qi94iao8_500.jpg pony size].

* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_depictions_of_Joan_of_Arc:Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc|Joan of Arc]]'s image in media is often given this, portraying her as a [[Lady of War]] and often as [[Badass Long Hair]]. In reality, Joan was a downright [[Sweet Polly Oliver]] who wore men's clothes for several reasons: not being seen as inferior by the troops, not having privilege over them, avoid possible rape attempts, etc.
