Yeah, I mean, can we be fair about this? No little kid is sitting there scholastically analyzing every Disney princess for her merits and contributions to feminism, they see (using Cinderella as an example) "1.) unhappy life -> 2.) magic ballgown -> 3.) prettier than everyone -> 4.) marry prince -> 5.) happily ever after." And that's not exactly the best lesson to glean out of something.

It was more unhappy life, trying to give herself an opportunity and fix it herself by going to the ball in a gown she made with her ability to brainwash small animals with tiny clothes, have plans crushed by abusive family, and THEN getting a magical ballgown. It was more of a "Fairy Godmothers help those who try to help themselves but have shitty families" thing. It might still be problematic, but it's definitely not how you put it.

Well, yeah, I put all of that into the "unhappy life" part of things. We're saying the same thing, you just added more details.

[(Anonymous)]

Not really. Their summary had a completely different focus, centering on the things you glossed over and trivialized into "unhappy life." That's where the actual meat of the story is.

I don't think that's fair to kids; don't confuse the movie and shallow Disney princess marketing. When I was a little girl, I saw: 1) unhappy life -> 2. refusing to let it get her down -> 3) mean people kept trying to ruin things for her -> 4) but all hope wasn't lost with the help of good friends and the will to pick herself and keep trying -> 5) happily ever after. It wasn't hard, since the best parts of the film were the fairy godmother and the mice being awesome to Cinderella, not her dancing around with the prince. But that kind of stuff isn't as easy to package in toys as a pretty dress.
