I don't get this. Maybe I was a weird kid, but when I watched Cinderella as a little girl my view on it was like: "She can talk to animals and can sew and is really nice! She's great!" I wasn't exactly analyzing her contributions to feminism either, but I wasn't sitting there thinking that the best I could hope for was to be pretty and marry a prince. Hell, the prince was no better than a footnote at that age.

That goes for all the princesses. I'd pick and choose what I liked about them and applied them to what I wanted in life. Ariel was passionate about things (plus she was a mermaid, how fucking cool was that?), Belle loved to read and was brave, Cinderella was kind and hard-working; on and on.

Again, maybe I was a weird kid, but I just don't get the idea that these movies make little girls think in a self-limiting way. I think that's giving children way too little credit. I just don't understand.

I'm with you there - as a kid I did the same thing (including the obsession with how awesome mermaids are)... at no point did I think "Disney has pretty dresses, so all I want to do when I grow up is have a dress and get married"... nope. I took good lessons from them, enjoyed the songs and such, then moved on. I remember wanting to be a veterinarian and help animals - and enjoyed Disney at the same time with no ill effects. Kids aren't fucking idiots.
