Disney Princess/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** There are also plenty of female fans in their teens or older.

* [[Purity Sue]]: Many of the Disney Princess are beautiful, kind, [[Friend to All Living Things|friendly to all living things]] and generally flawless instantly beloved by anyone who isn't an inveterate [[Jerkass]] or a [[Complete Monster]], in particular Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Pocahontas and Rapunzel.

* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: All of the Disney Princesses are treated as such. The older princesses receive the most disdain, as the time period their movies were made from put them in the passive role that would not be acceptable in a female role-model today. Even the modern princesses are often closely scrutinized and found unworthy, particularly Ariel. While there is some truth to the criticisms, the biggest criticisms lobbied at the girls tend to twist the actual events of the movie. For instance, the common criticism that Ariel gives up her life at home for a man isn't exactly true—Ariel clearly desired to live with humans long before she knew who Eric was.

** Disney draws a lot of ire from the older fans when Mulan is put in a feminine dress (particular the pink one with make-up that she felt uncomfortable in). However, as with the above case, even those criticisms are often twisted—Mulan is also clearly uncomfortable wearing armor and hiding herself ''that'' way. The happy medium is usually the far more practical (and plain) dress she wears at the end of the film.
