I got curious and looked it up last night as to why they changed the title. I actually found that they changed it twice! The director has stated that he thought no boys would go and see a movie with ‘Princess’ in the title. I reckon that the term has become a tad more frilly and pink laced since the days of ERB, but come on. So then it was going to be ‘John Carter of Mars’ but then the director thought no girls would go and see it, since girls hate planets and scifi or something. So now it is simply John Carter.

No way that men watched it and saw a great movie and made its more hilarious points of duologue known by those who haven't even seen the movie....
“My name is Inigo Montoya....”
“Have fun storming the castle!”
“You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.”
Etc, etc, etc.
Disney has an acknowledge “princess problem”
They have be redoing fantasyland at WDW and when their new VP was put in charge of the project (i believe he has two sons) he quickly tweaked the project to add some boy friendly stuff.
Unfortunatly the homosexual they put in charge of DisneyXD channel a few years back still has not gotten the memo.
The look and feel of this future from the past works with the current steam punk twist of tommorrow land.
Disney has to do something because Harry Potter is sucking all the “non frilly” attendance.
