Same. Cinderella, including Disney's, doesn't get nearly enough credit. Shit like this is exactly why I believe certain "feminist" perspectives are entirely off base and meaningless. Their claims are poorly researched at best. You really have to stretch and project to come to the conclusion that Cinderella is all about waiting for a man to come fix your problems. That is asinine, myopic bullshit, in my opinion. Also, that so wasn't even the point of Cinderella. The point is, despite the abuse, neglect, and losing both of her parents, she never stopped being kind. She never stopped being true to herself. She never let her bad circumstances get the better of her. Things got better because she never gave up on herself and never blamed anyone for her problems. That is a timeless tale for girls and women, in my opinion. Hell, boys and men could even learn a little something from Cinderella. Kurt Vonnegut was a grumpy old cynic in his lifetime, and even he saw value in the story of Cinderella.

I've already said further up that I think the story has more to do with being pretty and having small feet than kindness, but I also think it's not a great idea to marry a man you don't know because he has money, and (Disney version only) it's none too sanitary to have a mouse infestation either.

I like the Honest Trailers theory that she is a powerful druid who can talk to animals.

This. Thank you. I watched those movies all the time when I was little (hell, I went to see 'Little Mermaid' when it came out in theaters and I was, like, five at the time) and I never picked up on that supposed message when watching those films. I just enjoyed the stories.

Hell, the only thing that even remotely upset me watching 'Little Mermaid' was when Ursula got all big and scary-looking :p.

I mean... watching Dumbo and Peter Pan also didn't turn most kids who watched them into raging racists but that's still a popular narrative why those movies are terrible and bad and children shouldn't watch them.
