  Looks a lot like photos that used to appear in old Montgomery Wards and Sears catalogs here in the US, only the models are older. But there were always catalog photos of kids romping around in their undies in catalogs.

  DISNEY IS OWNED AND RUN BY PERVERTS so it's no surprise whatsoever that this is going on. Nothing short of a boycott will teach the Disney perverts a lesson they'll never forget, but then again, the people of this country are so indoctrinated in porn and perversion, they wouldn't have the spine or will. GOD BLESS AMERICA, in spite of ourselves. HIS patience must be wearing thin.

  This is a big flap over nothing. Ads like this are commonplace in Asia & arent intended as the overt sexual statement they appear to be over here. Check out any Japanese girls magazine & youll see tons of pictures just like these. Its all just a cultural misunderstanding compounded by bad journalism & sensationalism.

  These photos aren't a disney shoot. The photographer is mediocre at best and i dont believe that Michael Eisner would ever allow a second hand tourist make an add for them. who has proof that its an actual disney shoot????

  "Walt Disney would be rolling over in his grave." walt disney would thoroughly endorse this. coming from the man who forced his animators to clock out to sharpen their pencils, i think he would be fine with anything that made his company money.

  Since when does anyone wear Disney !?$@# Crotch shot anyone? Damn, I wish I lived in those far more advanced countries where kids had more than one parent and disney ads focused on crotch shots while trying to sell panties!!

  I wonder the age of the models. The underwear is clearly being marketed to pre-teens, but if the models are underage-- I'd say this is REALLY PUSHIN' IT FOLKS!

  The issue isn't really about who this is intended for. (Although is this the message you want to give your 12 yr old daughter?). The issue is how this material is used and by whom. The reason this kind of advertisement is so dangerous is because predators who like tweenie/teenies (even the illusion of them) use these pictures for their deviant sexual ickiness. Don't fool yourself into thinking that these images are not harmful. All y'all who are endorsing this as okay have issues.

  Grow-up, North Americans. These photos are not intended for you. Disney is marketing these clothes to children that have more than one parent and live in countries with a functional economy. Disney is a multi-national corporation, and is attempting to compete for business in cultures where ads like these are normal. If it weren't for the internet, you'd be clueless that these photos even existed. - The Garret

  There is no way that Disney should have these girls in underwear when they are marketing for underwear. Give me a break. They don't have to photograph some girl's crotch just to sell underwear. They could market it on a dummy or just take pictures of it. Walt Disney would be rolling over in his grave. This just shows what is really Disney's priority. $$$$$$ They don't care about Miley or any other kid that they are marketing, as long as the public continues to watch their shows and buy their stuff.

  and we wonder why our lil girls get assulted and raped when they are out here looking like that grown no kid should be any where in her undies and bra they are to young to be getting some of these pervert ... ===== News flash: it's very likely girls of tween age were assaulted and raped -- in the home, where it's the most prevalent by far -- vastly more often before advertising EXISTED than they are now. Every century you go back, you can bet there was more abuse of tweens in the home. No? Anyone remember the Roman Empire? Or the nonexistence of applicable protection laws? Or the utter skepticism of sexual abuse claims tweens and younger girls faced even as recently as the mid-20th century? Is the problem our media, then, or is it maybe a little more complex than that?

  @Stafford The difference between this and a normal department store ad is that its Disney products. Disney, that supposed wholesome family-oriented, christ-loving company. Of course we all know its BS and its just about the $$$ like all other companies but don't spew the BS and at the same time show Pooh with a camel toe!

  These models are 18+. They are ADULTS not children. Get over yourselves people.
