Finally, finally Disney has got it almost right. Not passive, sighing, cleaning, sleeping princesses. These princesses are active, powerful and critically are the protagonists. I have read so many comments and threads about this film commenting on the songs, the scenary, the Barbi- like figures of the princesses etc etc. it seems to me that everyone has missed the most amazing point of this film- the girls are ' doing'. I know that Tangled was OK but the princess didn't rescue herself! I know that Brave was good but it was almost too much of a rejection of the princess format ( I will NOT marry) . The central relationship of the two women and the way in which the story resolves is very new for Disney but made me a very happy mum of two girls. Don't get me wrong- it is not perfect- the slit in the dress, the huge eyes small waists but let's not split hairs here- in a world where my daughter is expected to buy pink Lego to make her very own cafe while the boys get to make a whole city, I for one am very, very happy to see Disney produce two powerful, resourceful female cartoon figures. Who knows we might even get a female superhero some day soon.
