I don't think the photo they show is very clear. The waist is now impossibly thin, the boobs are more up-front and perky. Also the dress is not just pretty but sultry, which seems inappropriate for a young girl (this character especially). I don't know if you've seen the movie, but the character specifically acts against conventions that don't suit her. Dressing her up this way implies that the style suits her, and her creator disagrees.

I did a google search and found some other pictures. It's true, she's a touch more conventionally attractive, but the rendering seems pretty conservative to me. In the realm of having her fit in with the others, artistic license, etc.

Teenage girls actually do have shoulders and breasts and the original seems to have neither.

I think the problem with the new version is that it's too specifically designed to be attractive to men at the expense of every other aspect of the character.
