Tell me what you really think.
I agree.... the blue looked better!
woops... that was me. 
Such an eloquent last sentence, and you are so right.
Pink?
What is wrong with these people!
I may have been brainwashed as a small child into preferring the blue to pink, but I most definitely agree! Blue good, pink bad. I like pink, but not for that dress. And, I do like the Prince and his horse. "No carrots." And, the "Father, this is the 14th century!"
Mama, don't you know that little girls only like pink! And if you're marketing stuff you want them to buy in the millions, you must appeal to thoughtless, mindless girls who only like pink!
You just know there's a man behind this whole thing, don't you?
I think, maybe, they marketed the pink dress because Cinderella's dress is blue -- and they wanted something different?
Anyway, I prefer blue also (even though my daughter looked really good in the pink costume!)
Yeah, I'm with Candy. This is the Disney Mass-Marketing Machine in action. Let's reinforce gender stereotypes AND market the heck out of the whole Disney Princess™ thing.
Walt may have been a crazy old anti-Semite, but he did have this small sense of subversion about him. Nowadays, it's all Marketing, Marketing, Marketing.
I saw PET FOOD marketed by Disney. That Darn Cat! brand dry cat food, The Aristocats brand wet cat food, and (quite possibly the most disturbing) Old Yeller brand dog food. All with the Disney Pets logo prominently displayed.
I was never a huge Disney fan, and I loathe them even more for what they've become.

Yeah, the blue was far better and of course,it jives with my juvenile memories.
I had a similar surge of disappointment when I saw a colorized version of "I Love Lucy". I knew her hair was red, but colorized, it looked the color of boiled shrimp. And then of course, I learned of the colors of her living room wall, that of the furniture, not to mention wardrobe colors.
"I Love Lucy" was filmed in black and white of course, but even so, you watch an episode 500-600 times in your life and you tend to imagine what Lucy Ricardo's world would've looked like in color.
Then Ted Turner comes along and screws up that delightful imagery.
By the way, the sofa in Lucy's living room was blue. I always pictured it being more of a warm brown.
Not unlike Fred's teeth....as colorization also proved.

Oh, I love Sleeping Beauty- "I know you, I walked with you once. upon. a dream..."
Of course it's blue, but that damned Cinderella cornered the market on the blue dress and how else are little girls to keep them straight? Red hair? Mermaid. Dark skin? Jasmine. Blue dress? Cinderella. Pink dress? Aurora.
Oh, and look, the prince is wearing pink. How cool is that. Five year old boys everywhere would be thrilled. Little boys love pink. They really do.
I personally hated pink growing up. There was a pink period, but I grew to hate my room with such passion that I hung posters over every inch of it, then we moved. Thank God.
My friends and I, we all choose a Disney Princess, and Princess Aurora was mine...I made them all find blue dressed Aurora's to give me. (For those Disney Challenged, Aurora is Sleeping Beauty's real name...)
Exactly!!!
