I would like to give my opinion on your previous thread but it's so long I'll do it here.
My favourite disney film as a kid was 101 Dalmatians, the one with all of the dogs and none of the Princesses. It makes me cringe when girls my age are still into shit like that.
Me and my sister had barbies at that age, but we were never really interested. There's not a lot you can do with them really and the train sets, tool kits and duplo were always a hell of a lot more interesting. Plus my parents put more emphasis on books, and playing outside. By the age of about eight, I was reading Agatha Christie.
You can't force her interests, but just make sure she has more interesting, stimulating stuff available to her as well as shitty plastic stick figures, and I bet she'll lose interest in the dolls pretty fast.

I'll throw my opinion in too. Disney princesses and Barbies are supremely shite. My sister's 6, and she hates all that stuff, being more into dinosaurs and space (as was I). However, her grandma insists on buying her 'girls toys', like pretend kitchens and stuff. It makes me want to cunt-punch her.
