[quote=Anonymous]The things I don't like about most Princess stuff:

The top two reasons are--

1. Physically, the Disney girls are all the same with little variation.  We know that the more kids see of one physical image, they more they think they need to look like that.  I prefer a bit of this and a bit of that, in near equal measure.

2. Emphasis on clothes and fashion over almost everything else.

**************

3. Princesses need to DO SOMETHING.  Not just be done to or plan parties or dance around in the daisies.  The more modern princesses are addressing this problem.

4. A certain cattiness prevails, especially in the spin-off stuff.  Yeah, sure, the princess needs to "solve the problem of a bitchy friend" but meanwhile my kid is watching 95% of the show demonstrating bitchy behavior, with the happy ending taking up, oh, the last five minutes?  Meh.

5. Generally, a lack of diversity.  Again, the more modern princesses are addressing this problem.

6. Not particularly creative or intellectual (even for a 4 or 5 year old).  Maybe if the princesses were more into solving interesting problems or inventing stuff?  I don't mean it has to be stuffy... just interesting and motivating in a different way.[/quote]
