There really aren't many things more disturbing than the way they forced-feed this Disney Princess into little girls subconscious. Unlike like boys who get smart, caring, sporty, funny and adventurous leads in movies and TV shows while girls either get some Mexican chick and a monkey or the same princess regurgitation over an over again. Nothing can be worse for a five year old kid than learning the only dreams she should ever have involve a castle and the only say to get there is by enchanting a prince.
As a father of three young girls, it's time for Hollywood to start recognizing that little girls should not be limited to their fairy tale boundaries. We need more smart, athletic girl leads and the up owing Pixar's movie Inside Out (http://www.vulture.com/m/2014/06/what-pixars-next-movie-will-do-for-girls.html?mid=facebook_nymag) due our in 2015 is a starting point.
If Frozen showed Hollywood anything, if is that little boys will not be turned off my a movie lead by a girl, time to make them princess free

You should watch Maleficent.
ReplyDeleteIt's about an angry, vengeful fairy played by Angelina Jolie who gets raped as a teenager (clipped wings analogy) by her high school sweetheart boyfriend, who brags about it to his king and royal buddies. She destroys his family and kicks the ass of his armies.
Later, she falls in love with his daughter, and has an unrequited lesbian love thing going on with her. And then the movie ends with them living happily ever after in lesbianic bliss.
It's pretty good.
