Haha! Do we have to agree on everything?!
pocahontas and mulan or the best, in my opinion.
Tina is not bad but I would have put Ariel before her.
And I think Tiana is a better role model than Ariel, but i don't think Ariel's the worst...
Mulan and Pocahontas will be fighting for the first place apparently. :)
and while those things make her a great role model... they also make me so angry because it demonstrates how INCREDIBLE belle is...yet she sends the HORRIFIC message to young girls that if they act kind enough, and gentle enough, and don't give up hope- eventually their boyfriend will stop abusing them.
it reinforces the untrue belief that people who are being abused can change their abusers behavior simply by loving them. if you stay with your boyfriend, no matter how many times he hits you or insults you or screams at you or treats you like an outsider- eventually if you stick around long enough you'll change him. if belle was portrayed as a stupid character or as foolish or self absorbed-- it wouldn't bother me QUITE as much. but since belle is portrayed as a knowledgeable woman who does not stand for the injustices in society... it really infuriates me that she sends this message to young girls watching the movie. talk about reinforcing the cycle of abuse...
i love belle, i love beauty and the beast... but the older i get, the more it bothers me that beauty and the beast could send such a dangerous message to young girls.
