WaPo makes a compelling case that its discrimination to not have Disney movies staring disable princesses, or at least lead characters who are disabled!:

Yes, because Disney princesses so reflect reality.
I'd be happier if they'd stop killing of the moms. |

You mean a visibly motor-challenged hero or heroine? Because other, more subtle disabilities have cropped up already. Olaf is very literal, and has an uncanny personality resemblance to my Aspergery son. Elsa has a power which makes her different and that she can't control - reminiscent of how gifted and talented yet learning disabled kids struggle in school. |

Originally Pixar but Nemo has a little fin and Dory has short-term memory impairment.
Also, *yawn* on the forced inclusivity. |

The Incredibles are GT but not allowed to show it because others might feel bad about their plain-ol selves.
Rapunzel is GT in art. Ariel is temporarily mute. |

How about an OLD princess? Or a GAY princess?
So glad my DCs have aged out of this nonsense. |

| My nonverbal daughter likes Ariel. She also loves Cinderella. Not everything for kids should be literal. |
