They teach good lessons.

Yeah, yeah, all the adults (keyword: ADULTS, obviously full of issues they want to project onto others) will come at me like "OH EM GEE THEY TEACH YOU WOMEN NEED MEN AND TO BE FEMININE AND DOCILE HARDY HAR RACIST SEXIST BLAGHARGH" but growing up, that is never what I got out of any of those movies. I never sat there thinking "I see! No one will love me unless I am beautiful and skinny!". The lessons they teach, which many adults no longer see, are about kindness and acceptance. When I watch Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Aladdin, Mulan--those are all stories about accepting people for who they are, being kind to others, and being true to yourself. Those are lessons that many people forget as they grow up, and they are values that I still think are very important. I also still believe Disney is doing a good job at conveying those messages today--Enchanted, Princess and the Frog, Brave (my "recent" favorite), Frozen, all about the bonds between people and learning to be true to your heart.

Are they perfect? Obviously not. I am totally in support of more diversity. Bring in princesses from all countries! All sizes! All everything! But I don't like how people act like they need to crap all over older movies at the same time. There's enough room for everyone, people. Chill out.

If anyone thought that consciously, it would be a lot easier to combat.
