The Disney Princesses, merely a few of the Disney heroines
|
A lot of people say that the Disney heroines are bad influences on girls for a variety of reasons: they "teach girls that beauty is most important" and "you need a man to be happy" and "females always have to be damsels in distress" and plenty more of the like. I disagree. Disney heroines can teach all of us plenty of important lessons.
1. Be Yourself Despite the World's Opinion
A lot of the Disney heroines didn't really fit into the norms of their society, but they never changed to fit into their communities better. Eventually, that would prove to be a very good thing.
Examples:
*Ariel, who loved humans even though they were considered dangerous by the rest of Atlantica
*Belle, who was particularly intelligent and book-loving in a time when it wasn't beleived women should think
*Esmerelda, who was one of the gypsy outcasts of Paris
*Giselle, who maintained her fairy-tale values even in the tough real world

Now this is just my point of view, but I find it a little bit ironic that one of the most realistically portrayed Disney females comes in the shape of a pixie! When it comes to typical proportions, the average woman can more easily identify with a winged sprite?! I mean, not everybody has a beautiful hourglass figure! Having somebody who is a little bottom-heavy is comforting.
While Tinker Bell does have a super-skinny waist, she is the only Disney female I have seen whose lower body is not exactly proportionate to her upper body. When I realized this, it made me feel so much better as a slightly pear-shaped person! (Hooray for Margaret Kerry!) Unfortunately, the movie demonstrates that Tink is not very comfortable with her hip circumference. (Recall the scene where she’s checking herself in the mirror and gets stuck in the keyhole.)
It’s just a shame that we only find this type of thing in the secondary character department. For the most part, the Disney princess have gorgeous bodies with unbelievably trim waists....
