En 1938, il ne faisait pas bon être une femme chez Disney comme en témoigne cette lettre de rejet exhumée aujourd’hui sur Flickr. Mary V. Ford, qui avait écrit au studio d’animation pour connaître les critères d’admission à l’école Disney qui formait ses animateurs, avait ainsi reçu la réponse suivante : «Les filles ne travaillent pas du côté créatif pour préparer les dessins animés pour l’écran, car cette tâche est exclusivement réservée aux jeunes hommes. Pour cette raison, les candidatures des filles ne sont pas examinées pour l’école préparatoire.

A piece of fan art and the particularities of French to English translation may have solved our Disney Princess problem: Feminist parents (and grandparents and aunts and uncles and siblings) often worry about their young girls getting sucked into Disney Princess culture, and not just because of the intimidating price tags at the Disney store. We don’t want our kids growing up with female role models solely labelled with the coveted status of “princess,” and therefore defined by their relationships with men (be they fathers or husbands), and admired largely for their status over others. It’s pretty much the last thing a feminist would want for their kids. However, criticism of Disney Princess culture often overlooks that Disney has created a battalion of strong female characters who are in fact fantastic role models for children, particularly since the dawn of the Disney Renaissance .

Disney destroys Brave’s Merida with sexy makeover #NotBuyingIt
From the Mary Sue : “On May 11th Brave‘s Merida will be officially crowned as the 11th Disney Princess, the impact of which is that Disney will be selling more stuff with her on it, I guess? Anyway. Along with the “coronation ceremony,” to be held at Walt Disn ey World, Merida’s gotten a new redesign…” A great summary from Toward the Stars: <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13456" alt="towardthestars" src="http://reelgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/towardthestars.jpg" width="613" height="465" />Girls the world over often go through a "princess phase," enthralled with anything pink and pretty — most especially the Disney princesses. When it happened to Peggy Orenstein's daughter Daisy, the contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine stepped back to examine the phenomenon. She found that the girlie-girl culture being marketed to little girls was less innocent than it might seem, and can have negative consequences for girls' psychological , social and physical development. Orenstein's exploration took her to Walt Disney World, the American Girl flagship store in New York City and a child beauty pageant. She details her quest in the new book, "Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture" (Harper Collins, Jan. 25).

‘Brave’ turns Kelly Macdonald into a princess — and a pioneering Pixar female protagonist
Once upon a time, Kelly Macdonald was a wee lass growing up in Glasgow, Scotland, with no desire to be a princess like the other girls. She was more fixated on becoming Calamity Jane, the rifle-toting American frontierswoman played by Doris Day in the 1953 movie of the same name. "Princesses were not really my thing," says the 36-year-old actress in her Scottish burr. "I would go around pretending I was on my horse.It's hard to be liberated in a clamshell bikini. by Sonia Saraiya I just saw Brave , and it got me thinking about the grand tradition of Disney princesses.
