I've read articles claiming that studies reveal that even little, wee, tiny, teeny, smally baby infants understand who's attractive and who's not, and it doesn't matter what culture you take the kid from or what culture's people you show him/her. Infants consistently stare longer at pictures of attractive people. Therefore, children must realize that Barney and Dora are ugly, and just think that's funny. The beginning of cruelty?
Well, on the other hand, those articles said that the main determinant of beauty is symmetry, i.e. that you don't have one eye dopier than the other or one ear lower than the other. Meaning you could fold the face in half lengthwise and get a great matchup. So... considering Barney and Dora are created through very careful costume design and drawing, I bet they have great symmetry. When Dora grows up, even if she is still sorta chubby and giganto-headed, her boobies will match. No way will when one point up and one down or one give in to gravity before the other. And isn't that what beauty is all about?
