I completely agree! People act like she could just run away to a shelter or something. Or that she should stand up to her oppressors. I always got the impression that she wanted to get along with her family despite their ill treatment of her. That's not a horrible thing to want. Yes, her situation was terrible, but she was trying to make the best with what she had. She kept dreaming that it would get better some day either by improving her situation or by getting out of it. Her ultimate goal wasn't to find a prince to save her. It was a coincidence that it happened. Doesn't make her a bad role model because she took advantage of the opportunities presented to her.

And this is why I'm so glad they gave Anastasia a conscience (and repentant of her treatment of Cinderella) in the sequels instead of just being a one-dimensional villain, imho.

This is why I'm actually kind of fond of the Cinderella sequels.

I don't know, she was a pretty awful human being. You know that saying, "Judge a man not by how he treats his superiors/equals, but by his lessers?". Anastasia (and Drusilla) were the worst kind of people, that they were simpering weasels in front of people they could gain an advantage of, and abused the shit out of the staff (their own stepsister!).

I actually dislike the sequels for that reason. I really don't retconning villain motives at all, especially when it comes to Disney. Their motives tend to be obvious and the retcon usually involves adding some sort of romance and heartbreak to make them somehow a better person (I'm looking at you, Maleficent).

I REALLY hate when Disney tries to portray Cinderella as being forgiving of her sisters. There's really no reason for that. Let her live in a castle. Let her sisters live in their mansion. I don't condone letting people forgive their abusers because that's the kind and perfect Disney Princess thing to do.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she not want to abandon her father?

[poisonenvy]

I thought her father was dead, and that's when the step-mothering got really bad. Or maybe I'm thinking of different Cinderella canons.

That's in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, or at least the one with Brandy. :)

No, he was dead.
