[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest, the “problematic” Disney princesses, if you want to call them that, are the early ones.

I understand the issues with Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty (Aurora), and Ariel.

After that, you have princesses who actually are pretty cool. Belle and Jasmine did their own thing. Pocahantas has problems, but Milan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, and Moana are great. So is Elsa.

So let’s be clear about what we actually mean when we talk about horrible Disney. [/quote]

My daughter is 2 but my son is 5 so we’ve done a lot of Disney movies. Aside from the Little Mermaid, which my kids both like, we just haven’t shown the old princess movies. It’s not hard. Back when we were kids Cinderella was a bigger deal but now Frozen has easily surpassed it and I have 0 problems with Elsa or Anna. If my kid wants to watch Snow White or Cinderella, we’ll let them. It’s really not a big deal.

But yeah, I agree with PP. If Ariel ruins my kids there are clearly bigger issues in my parenting. [/quote]
