Regression Analysis

Stephen Jay Gould wrote a famous article on the evolution of Mickey Mouse. The character's look became more childlike through the years. It made sense. But at least he stayed the same age.

Then some time later, someone came up with Muppet Babies. The Muppets were already favorites with kids--was this necessary?

I felt the same way when I was in a local Target and ran across Disney's Princess Babies. Disney Princesses are already cute. This is overkill. I'm looking forward to Disney Princess Embryos.
