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.

Let's Re-Brand "Disney Princesses" as "Disney Heroines"
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. These are characters we should want our kids to be obsessed with. Disney destroys Brave’s Merida with sexy makeover #NotBuyingIt.

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).

Disney Princesses. This is my new Disney Princess series....after researching into them whilst I spent time in New York in 2010, I wanted to empower the princesses with the thought in mind that this would empower young girls.
Tonight I went to see the amazing 'Missrepresentation' film and the quote 'you can't be what you can't see' really inspired me. It's what I wanted to do with this work. Girls, you can do anything. 2011 is the first year since 1979 that women have not gained seats in Congress. Surely that says something about the word we're living in now.

The Princess – You’re not really sure why you got a happy ending, but you’re also not the most stable person since you spend your free time making tiny clothes for tiny animals.
Somewhere at some point there was something about you being hard working and virtuous, but as far as Disney goes, you mostly just get rewarded for putting up with abuse. You don’t try to solve your own problems, you wish and hope them away and then luck out. The Sushi Princess – You have zero self-respect and are kind of boy crazy, to the point of stalking.

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. I was such a tomboy looking back.
