Disney and Feminism

[silverthunder]

So, I recently came across this interesting article on Disney princesses and feminism, aimed most specifically at the recently released 'Princess and the Frog' film, and wanted to share it.

Here: http://mendthiscrack.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/disney-princesses-and-feminism/

A lot of good points in this article; it hits the nail on the head in a lot of ways. I haven't yet seen 'The Princess and the Frog', and this isn't the first review to show a lack of enthusiasm for the film, but this is the first I've seen that points out, in depth, what's wrong with it.

If I ever do see it, it probably won't be in a situation where I made the decision ahead of time to pick it up and watch it.

Will have to read later, when I get home, cause princess/frog sucked hard.

Well, now I'm glad I never watched Princess and the Frog.

<sub>XDD The authors writing style made me crack up at times, but this was a good read.

The author does have some valid arguments but I guess it also dpends on you POV. Disney has done some damage to us girls I agree: The whole 'find your prince charming & live happily ever after' B.S schtick has done its damage

*raises hand* ;A;</sub>
