I was in school the other दिन and me and my फ्रेंड्स were talking about डिज़्नी Princesses at lunch. This one person who I don't particularly like decided to become part of the conversation. She said, and I quote, "I'm not going to let my daughters, if I have any, watch those movies. They're such bad role models. The only ones they'll be allowed to watch are ब्रेव and मूलन because they need to be strong young women." And after that I just left the conversation.
Now I'm going to prove to आप that the डिज़्नी Princesses are great role models, particularly the ones that don't get that much love. I just need to vent this somewhere. Sorry if this annoys आप या anything, but I needed to post it. Let's start with Snow White, the 'fairest of them all'.
Snow White is often criticized for a) running away instead of fighting back, b) being just beautiful, not any asset to anything, c) not making adult decisions and d) being a mother figure to the dwarves, amongst others. These four are the most common ones though.
Let's all भालू in mind that Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was released not even after World War II begun. This was the perfect woman in the thirties. And it isn't like they wanted to make a sexist movie, they were basing it on fairytales that have been around for centuries. How do आप expect her to fight back - with a sponge? Same thing with the beauty - how do आप keep from being beautiful?
The third thing is easy to prove wrong because of the fact that Snow White is. Freaking. Fourteen! And there's also the fact that she has never left the गढ़, महल grounds - ever. People say that she relied on a prince to save her, but if आप listen to the song 'I'm Wishing' you'll realize she just wants someone to प्यार her. That person just happened to be a prince. Go and criticize Kate Middleton for marrying Prince William - it's almost the same thing! A commoner marries a prince. Snow White isn't even a commoner.
The last thing - I doubt Snow was taught to do anything other than servant things. She probably just wanted to offer the dwarves something that would make them happy, because Snow is a lovely person! Sure, she has her flaws, like letting the क्वीन in when she was told not to let her in, but that just makes her और interesting.
Snow White is a great role model. Not all people are tough, strong tomboys like Merida and मूलन - some people are sweet and feminine like Snow White and Aurora. Snow White is optimistic, kind, generous, hard-working, gentle, hopeful, pure-hearted and cheerful, which are all great traits to have. We don't all have to be Meridas. Some of us are Snow Whites.
People need to stop hating on Snow and all the other princesses.

Someday my prince will come...
On the fourth दिन of Princess
Walt डिज़्नी gave to me,
four braiding girls
three fairy spells
two lucky pals
and the wisdom of an old tree.
As difficult as my pick for march was, as easy was the one for April. After all, the most obvious holiday to feature is Easter, and there is only one princess which came back from the death. The most difficult part for this one was to decide which दिन to mark...the friday, the sunday, the monday या all of them. I felt that "all of them" would be going a little bit overboard, so I finally went for the monday. I hope that is okay with you.
And naturally I...
