Quoting LA Times:
Among girls, princesses and the romanticized ideal they represent — revolving around finding the man of your dreams — have a limited shelf life. With the advent of "tween" TV, the tiara-wearing ideal of femininity has been supplanted by new adolescent role models such as the Disney Channel's Selena Gomez and Nickelodeon's Miranda Cosgrove.
"By the time they're 5 or 6, they're not interested in being princesses," said Dafna Lemish, chairwoman of the radio and TV department at Southern Illinois University and an expert in the role of media in children's lives. "They're interested in being hot, in being cool. Clearly, they see this is what society values."
As you can see in my case, by the time they're 17 they are re-interested in being a princess. XD
But seriously, I find it sad that little girls would rather be a hottie than be a pretty princess.
This is total BS. They said they weren't doing any 2D, and three movies later they're back with PatF. With the sucess of Tangled, I doubt this will stand true.
It's sort of sad that they want to encourage little five year olds to be teenagers when they haven't had time to be kids. Every littler girl I know wants to be a princess (or a fairy xD). Guess all those anti-DP moms have a lot more to worry about then their children wanting to have boys save them. Ugh, it just disgusts me. It's as if childhood doesn't exist anymore.
^ I sure hope so! I really want them to continue on Snow Queen(?) and/or Jack and the Beanstalk. Pixar's making Brave (or is it still the Bear and the Bow?), but it would be such a waste if Disney only depends on Pixar to make fairy tales movies in the future. I don't want Disney to be known for making Hannah Montana more than they're known for making magical movies.
@Athiya: Yeah, it's Brave. I don't think they'll do Jack and the Beanstalk thoough, they already did "Mickey and the Beanstalk" back in Walt's days, and they've never redone any shorts from his time (to the extent of my knowledge).
My sister's one of those Disney Channel / Nickelodeon fans who calls all the 2D Disney movies I watch "baby movies". Same with all her friends. They're like, 7 I think. Well my sister's 11 but her friends are 7. (I guess she can't find friends her own age)
Anyway, when I'm a mother, I'm going to poison my children's minds with old Disney movies. And they will probably end up hating me for it but it's for their own good.
