[AmeliaMumsnet]

Featuring a strong and spirited hero, Disney’s new film, Moana, is now available to watch as often and as many times as your DC likes, without having to worry about your proximity to a DVD player. So, inspired by Moana herself, and to celebrate the digital release of new film, Disney want to hear about the strong heroines who inspire your DCs.

Disney has said: “Did you know you can already download and keep Disney’s Moana from a variety of digital stores including Sky Store and iTunes. With great music, lots of laughs and a kick-ass heroine, Moana is a great movie for the whole family and will get you in the mood for summer. You can enjoy it on TV with the family or take it with you on your phone, tablet, laptop to keep the kids entertained while you are all out and about. The Blu-ray ™ and DVD are available on Monday 3rd April.”

Now Disney want to hear about the kick-ass heroines in your lives. Maybe it’s a teacher, a friend, a celebrity or - obvious choice - their Mum! From the everyday, to the extraordinary, anyone can be a heroine, so ask your DCs about the strong women in their lives and see who they come up with.

Everyone who posts their DCs answers on the thread below will be entered into a prize draw for one of five surprise Disney toy sets or a £250 iTunes voucher.

Thanks and good luck,

We love this film so much! I asked dd(4) who she thinks is a strong woman. She said it's grandma because 'she shows how strong and hard she loves us by her cuddles' and mummy because 'she has a strong brain, she works hard and always knows what to do to make us happy' I did cry a little!

I never blow my own trumpet but Iam the hero in our fairytale. Given days to live and fought back, told I'd never have children and fought back, twice. So here I am, a Mum of two with a degree and job. Self believe is an incredible thing!

My children said me! Because I work and study and cook and clean and read to them and lots of other things too!

My little one goes to Gymnastics lessons every week and is developing into her own strong self. She is motivated and mesmerised by the Olympic gymnasts that train there and there is one in particular we always talk to - Lucie, she always has something positive and motivational to share with my little girl - True Girl Power - Olympic Champion

I am a fan of Paloma Faith and love her music. This has rubbed off on my daughter who loves her too. However, I also like that she is a quirky character who knows her own mind and think she is a strong role model. We haven't seen Moana but would like to!

My 4 year old

GG is strong mummy because she has to put up with everyone and she is 90, which is older then some dinosaurs and hippos. (Don't think I should tell GG aka great grandma this)

My Dd (8) thinks herself, because she has muscles. If not allowed that then Ellie Downie who we watched do some amazing gymnastics at the UK gymnastics championships yesterday. She has a very literal understanding of strong!

Ah, my girls loved watching Moana! I think they loved Moana's grandmother especially, as it reminds them of their own - my DDs say how 'wise' their nana (my mum) is and DD (aged 6) always says "Nana is much wiser than you, she knows lots of things doesn't she mummy?" I can't disagree with them - she still studies at the age of 76; attending art classes, joined a political discussion group, and learns Spanish and German! An amazing role model for me, and for both my DDs!!

My daughters role models are myself, my mum, my sister and my nan. We are trying to bring her up to be the best that she can. Also to believe she can do anything if she puts her mind to it.

DD said Beth Tweddle (her heroine) is strong for getting better from a broken neck.
I'd like to add DD's teacher who is wonderful, and her great gran who is 89 and fabulous. Brought 6 children up wonderfully, worked in a munitions factory, lots of fab stories to tell.

We love moana in this house. So much so that my dd1 who is 7 is doing a presentation at school today about how much she admires moana and her "big growth mindset." Moana is her strong female hero!

Mummy runs her own business but Grandma was a research scientist shoeing that even in the 'olden days' us strong girls can be anything we want to

We haven't seen Moana but it sounds like we should. My daughter's still at the princess stage, so we have lots of conversations about their positive characteristics and about it not being a good idea to sit around and wait for a man to sort everything out.

I hope that in real life my kids have strong female role models in family, teachers and so on. My daughter's aware of 'the girl who runs Scotland' and 'the girl who runs Britain' and was most unimpressed when Trump won the US election - her politics largely come down to wanting the girl to win, but at least she's of the opinion that women can and should run the world.

Katniss from the Hunger Games. My son even dressed as her for world book day at school when he was 10.

He admires her survival skills and prowess with a bow and arrow.

We have a family full of impressive women that I hope will inspire Dd.

Mil, my mum and dad are all entrepreneurs. My cousin is a whistleblower for children's rights. And I quit my unfulfilled job to go back to uni and encourage Dd to follow her passions.

We loved Moana as it's an amazing message for our children and showed some really touching and complicated familial relationships.

My 4yo DS said Nya - the female ninja in Ninjago.

My DN said his mum, no question!

My DGSs nominated their auntie, my DD1, who apparently runs the police (not quite accurate, tbh! ). She has always been super confident and her role model, in some ways, must have been Margaret Thatcher. She was a child of the eighties and when she was 8, asked me if men were allowed to be Prime Minister.

I've asked both of my girls and they said me because I can lift more than them!

my 3 year old ds said belle because she saved the harmless beast and turned him and his castle better. Bit of an obsession with beauty and the beast at the minute

My dd said me because I had her baby sister in my tummy and pushed her out!

Ds.....Katniss Everdeen.

We literally just downloaded this! It is awesome! My daughter loves Elsa (drives us crazy), but we also pretend to be vikings, and our heroines are often from 'how to train your dragon'. We also love 'Matilda' by Dahl. I have two daughters, and we are determined to give them positive, powerful female role models!

My youngest son adores Taylor Swift. I actually think she's a positive role model and comes across very well in interviews.

Haven't seen Moana yet but I really hope she is a bit like Mèrida who has been my daughter's hero since she was 4. I think she was the first princess hero. My daughter does karate and rides her bike and farts like a sailor then laughs uproariously.
