Don't get me wrong. I 爱情 the Disney Princesses. They are all wonderful characters that symbolize the beautiful animated films they represent. However, I have to wonder, would 迪士尼 executives be sending a better message to their young 粉丝 if they instead called the line Disney Heroines? The reason I say this is because there are so many wonderful animated women in our favourite 迪士尼 films that are excluded from this branch of 迪士尼 entirely. Luckily, Pocahontas and 花木兰 were made exceptions which I think was a much needed change. If every girl can be a princess, as one of the company's logos suggests, shouldn't all of the women who inspired us in an animated 迪士尼 film be recognized equally? Calling the line Disney Heroines wouldn't do any damage to the nine official princesses, they would still have their spot in the lineup. I just think that if all the focus wasn't on the "princess" aspect of the characters, kids would have a better chance of learning what's truly important. Because let's face it, 更多 little girls say they aspire to be like Aurora than Esmeralda. Some of the many strong and interesting women that starred in successful 迪士尼 films include: Esmeralda (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), Megara (Hercules) and Jane (Tarzan). If these characters and others I didn't mention were to be incorporated into the Disney Princess line, maybe little girls would respond 更多 to them and see a wider variety of characters to emulate. Unfortunately, the top-selling princesses tend to be the ones who wear big, glittery gowns and tiaras which is why 迪士尼 doesn't include them...proving that they really have 迷失 sight of what Walt started the company for in the first place, which was not just to make money but to make dreams come true.
