Disney's Masterpieces

[Violet]

When I was a little girl, I didn't notice any of the things in what was said about the princesses up above. I was mainly concerned with the colors, and I thought the princess were pretty. Since I didn't understand what sex was at the time, the whole "oh, the princess saves everything with sex!" thing.. I never caught on to that. People have relationships irl..kids know that much.

As a kid, I always just saw it as a prince rescueing his girlfriend. And if that's so bad, then I don't recommend letting your kid play Mario, either. I also have a lot of things I can say in defense as to what was said about Belle, too.

My Rant, lol:

Belle- Beauty and the Beast wasn't about sex. It was about Belle seeing past the Beast's hideous features and loving him for who he is as a person. The sexual pig was Gaston, who was overloaded with testosterone and never failed to flaunt himself to the townspeople. He wanted to force Belle into marriage. Did Belle fall in love with Gaston? Fack no. So that leaves us with a girl who is NOT gullible and takes shit from no-one. She didn't even like Beast at first because he was so cruel. She only warmed up to him after she saw past his ugliness and saw that there was potential.

Beauty and the Beast has one of the best messages out of all the Disney movies(Aside from Peter Pan, wanting to stay young forever, but you have to grow up eventually). And that message is to not judge a book by its cover. Love them for who they are as a person. Oh. And Belle married the beast because SHE LOVED HIM. The beast would die if he did not learn how to love again and be a kinder person. Maybe that's what you're bothered about, but as a kid, I was more impressed with the petals when they fell from the rose.

All in all, Belle was not helpless. She was an intellect and she fought tooth and claw to get out of Gaston's clutches. She charged into the castle, ready to rescue her man, but he was already dying when she got there. She did not save him with her sexuality. The curse was broken because the Beast finally understood what love and friendship was again thanks to Belle.. and that's what the curse required in order to break. So yeah. It wasn't just Belle, it was also himself.

I just fail to see why Beauty and the Beast isn't suitable.. nor do I see where Belle being helpless comes in, other than the part with the wolves((I wouldn't expect a girl to be able to handle a pack of wolves by herself.. it'd lose all credibility. So why NOT have her be rescued by the Beast? It also allowed her to see his good side. That's the part where I went "awww the Beast is a cute puppy" when I was little.))

I'm not telling you what to do with your kids, but I wouldn't look too deeply into the classic Disney movies. Kids don't catch on to the things we do unless they're blatantly obvious.
