[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find all this anti-princess stuff hilarious.  I am the person who until having a daughter, had never seen Disney movies until I was around 14 and saw the Little Mermaid, Lion King and Beauty and the Beast.  I feel like I missed out- I know what happens in Bambi, but still have never seen it.  Snow White, nope.  Sleeping Beauty, never.  I remember going to see the Wizard of Oz at a birthday party and I had no clue of the plot when all the other girls came dressed in their red sparkly shoes!  I still remember how uncomfortable it was not knowing anything about the movie and being the one left out and this was 25 years ago.

Fast forward, my daughter loves princesses and I encourage the books and see nothing wrong with it.  A movie is not going to teach her what beauty is, how a husband treats her, teach her morals, etc- that's a parents job!  She wears mostly dresses so we don't own the princess bedazzled shirts but I don't put down the parents that buy them.. DD wants to be a doctor when she grows up, is nice to her brother, loves books and is a well adjusted kid...that believes in princesses.

For those Disney haters, please check out Sofia the First for your own good.  It's a great show- a blended family with a little girl who wants to do what the boys do, etc.  And for the Brave mom, I found that movie dark and scary.  [/quote]

I agree with this.  My DD knows and enjoys Disney stuff, loves princesses, and is no worse for the wear.  She isn't being raised by Cinderella, for goodness sake.  And for those of you who think all of the princesses are provocatively drawn and make no choices, always acting vapid -- I think you're bringing your own baggage to this discussion.

These characters are but a tiny fraction of the information my daughter will absorb during her preschool years.  I'm happy she can enjoy them.  [/quote]
