Disney Princesses if every girl had the opportunity to be a Disney princess, 99.9% of them would be one, I guarantee.But if you haven't noticed the Disney princesses are getting shall I say worse and setting a bad example. Lets use the newer disney princess as an example. Rapunzel from "Tangled."
As much as I myself like this funny, musical you have to admit its sending a bad message to girls.
A young girl rebellious against who she thinks is her mother (you know its not her mother,but as far as Rapunzel knows she is),the Bible says to obey our parents (Ephisians 6:1) God ordained their authority unless they are asking you to go against God then you should obey them no matter how ridiculously protective they seem. She disobeys cause she has a dream a desire that leads her to far. Rapunzel runs off with a wanted criminal Flinn,she trusts him and starts to open her heart up to him. What kind of message is that sending to girls,bad guys/jerks can be changed by your love for them when you two fall in love.
The fact that everything works out,Flinn doesn't die from her kidnapper because pretty much of Rapunzel's love for him her kidnapper dies and she reunites with her real parents.
And if you notice its kinda making fun of stay at home daughters too.
Some people think of stay at home daughters parents are over reacting to the worlds danger and staying at home cooking, cleaning, learning to be a good homemaker is stupid.
Did anyone feel like that through the film?
Maybe I'm over reacting on that part,but thats something I noted in the movie.
Cinderella
Belle
All of them are happy endings right!? That just happen to end with a fair madien and a handsome young man being two love birds that are going to be getting married.
Happy endings are something little girls and even older girls dream of, a happy ending to their sweet, romantic love story,but no one is there to teach them the difference for reality and fiction.
I pray I can raise my future girls if God blesses me with a family with girls that I can raise them to chase after Gods heart, someone who can give them a happy ending and that I may teach them to guard their hearts to save for that one 'prince.' ;)

3 thought(s) to note :
I totally felt the same way with "Tangled". It dd seem to have a hidden motive of rebellion and disrespect. I really loved the art and music, but the story truly ruined the movie for me and my family. I'm so glad to hear that others feel the same way.
I felt the same way about Tangled but didn't say anything because I thought I was the only one. Im glad to know Im not! Thank you for writing this! I really agree with what you were saying as there is a lot of truth in it! You always have to be careful with Disney as sometimes they add bits of things in discuised places so it isn't until you look at it closely that you realize it. Have a blessed day!
