to be saddened by the lack of children's films that promote female independence?

[Objection]

Trying to find movies for the kids I occasionally look after.
I'm really struggling to find PG movies that don't feature a female being stereotyped as either weak, overtly girly (not that there is anything wrong with girlyness) or highly dependent on men (being rescued etc).

In fact, I basically have Mulan and possibly Tangled as an option.

AIBU? Or are there a whole slew of children's films with strong female protaganists that I don't know about?

According to this, it's all about the wizard of oz.

Definitely all the Shrek films.

We've recently discovered A Mighty Girl which has recommendations for books, films, toys etc. There are pages and pages of film suggestions, lots of them have been mentioned here already but by no means all

I was obsessed with The Sound of Music as a kid. And Mary Poppins.

Sorry, I meant Rita was feisty not Ruby!
