I wonder what I was smoking when we discussed this idea.
To do the video you will have to buy the princess dolls and get a miniature guillotine. Here are instructions on how to build one:

The alternative is to order a Chinese plastic model from amazon for 9.75 Euro, but you still have to paint it yourself:

Ok, Bezos, plastics and China, I agree, not a good option.
But here's a pretty good Lego execution:

After all this research, I think some ideas are better left unexecuted.
Instead I will have one of my favorite Belgian beers:

the social cost is too high
and the political contradiction is too great: I live in a free republic? amd my child is taught to live the life of royalty? No way. Indeed, the violence that I proposed was FAR LESS than the violence imposed on the poorer people by the princess-fantasies that abound.
witness the wage-slavery of all the internet-prompted delivery nobodies
Girls with I-phones need to know the social cost of their privileged behavior.
The video contemplated, with Wolfgang Stahle, was to build a scaffold with a guillotine, and then chop off the heads of a hundred Disney princess dolls, with music from what we hear at graduation. There would be point- blank recitations about the Saudi investment in Disney, and about the dominance of the oil industry, particularly in the worst ecological practices, by royalist or effectively-royalist companies. Their assumption, very obnoxous, and contrary to all the thought about so-called creative capitalism, has been that they alone will effect a "transition" from fossils to renewables, as they alone, by Divine Right, have the power of controlling "Energy".
remarkable it is, now that this "traumatized, violence-taught" daughter who is going to Harvard, and paid double my earnings to do so, has been able to hear, for about 15 yaers, what I really think.
How is it that I can say to my child what I cannot possibly say in the art world, or any polite-publication world.
I can say the truth as i see it to my child, but must avoid saying such things in my cultural job?
Strange.
What use, then, does the cultural job have?

To do so in a videotape, with the chopping done anesthetially, by guillotine, and only for Disney-brand princess dolls,
if accompanied by an explanatory press release,
could be an enactment of political history about which we cannot be sued for libel, or for damaging the Disney brand.
Anybody has a right to destroy his or her own property.
Would Disney need to come out defending royalism? ahem, r-oilism?
Similar vicious actions could be done with "Amazon."

oh, and M.: was the French Revolution "funny and alarming"?
Or was it an historical event with huge global consequences?

Thank you for reminding me of the Disney-Saudi connection.
The story of you and Sophia chopping off the heads of her dolls has always struck me as both funny and alarming. I don’t mean “ha ha funny.”

"interest"?
I discovered the Disney princess obsession from reading to my kid, then seeing videotapes for all the kids. I was so pissed off by the narrative that I taught Sophia about how in the French Revolution all the princesses had their heads chopped off. We made drawings with chalk on the pavement of heads being chopped off. Her mother got angry, saying that I was teaching violence. No, I said in angry retort, I'm teaching History.
Hopefully, the lesson sinks in. Princesses or wannabe princesses should die.
The fantasy women have of getting all their needs met by deliveries, from Amazon, from Fresh Direct, from the corner pizzeria, results directly from the Disney princess propaganda. And so, the free nation subordinates itself to royalism.
Remember: one of the biggest investors in Walt Disney, especially in the 100-year bonds, is Saudi Arabian royalty.
Thus, the US becomes a prisoner of royalist energy policies of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Britain (BP & Shell), Netherlands (Shell), Norway (Equinor), Spain (Repsol), and two autocratic countries that could as well be royalist (Russia and China).
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS
Must we do the American and French Revolutions again?
