Disney princess films

This weekend I decided to indulge myself and spend my Friday night watching my favorite movies. Maybe it was because I have graduation coming up or because I'm just a child at heart, but the first movie I chose was Disney's Mulan. Watching Mulan made me think back on the discussion we had a few weeks ago in class about Disney princesses. Many people in our class tweeted their dislike of Disney princess movies, which came as a total shock to me. I understand why people disliked the movies because I too see the stereotypical roles some of the Disney princess movies give to females. What surprised me was that people looked past the entertainment aspect. I guess the reason why I never took offense to the obvious message some of the Disney princess films projected was because I chose to take it at face value. I chose to decide what to take from those movies and I choose to be entertained. So therefore I will continue to watch and love Disney princess movies.
