No More Ad Slogan Titles, They Got Annoying
Ok, have you ever noticed that out of the eight Disney Princesses (I'm talking about Ariel, Mulan, Snow White, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, and Jasmine for those of you less educated on the subject), only TWO of them have mothers? And out of those two, Mulan and Sleeping Beauty, only Mulan lives with her mother. All of the rest have either died or are mysteriously not mentioned.
Umm... what kind of message is Disney trying to send to our kids? Think of the other Disney characters whose mothers have died: Bambi, Nemo, Mowgli, Tarzan... The list goes on and on! Doesn't this seem like some kind of conspiracy to you? Or maybe they just know they'd never have any good plot lines if the mothers were there. Do you think for one minute that Ariel would have gotten mixed up with that good for nothing sea witch if her mother had been around? Mommy mermaid would have taken care of the whole "loving a human" situation with much less evil magic and voice stealing. And there's no way Belle's mom would have let her sweet young daughter shack up with that hairy beast. No way. She would have made Maurice get a real job and stop tinkering around with those silly inventions of his, and Belle would have married a nice, stable man without a rage problem.
Peter Pan's Lord of the Flies situation would have been shut down pronto if he had a mother, and all of the Lost Boys thoroughly scrubbed. I think they should do a remake of Snow White with her mother giving her a stern talking to. What would seven tiny men really want a nubile young woman living with them for? SEX, that's what! The poor girl would have been in some real trouble if she hadn't choked on that apple and gotten herself out of there.
I'm with Kanga; a warm bath and some gooey chocolate chip cookies can solve a multitude of problems.
