Another point that occurred to me - is it bad for young girls to know that you not being able to physically stand up for yourself, kick ass and take names makes you worthless? Do we have room to tell stories about women who aren't always in a place to take control of their own lives? Is it a bad thing when young women who cannot help themselves receive help from others?

There's room for all kinds of stories. But no one is actually disagreeing, and it's reasonable to select what kind of messages you specifically choose to put in front of your small child.

Jeez.

I'm not disputing that. I'm merely responding to the implication that there's something amiss with the message because Cinderella isn't a "heroine" in the sense that she's able to take active control of her own life.

You can get that message from the film, and there's nothing amiss with that message. I'm not sure that message was the intended one, or the obvious one, in the film, and I agree with the idea that it's just a level of complexity that might be a little less than ideal for children as presented in the film.
