And what’s not to love?
Most of us grew up dressing like them for Halloween.
Some of us still do.
The point being, of course, that Disney’s princess movies are seemingly timeless.
Rapunzel obviously stands out, given she was quite literally locked away in a tower.
Jasmine, Elsa and Anna spent their entire lives inside the palace gates.
Aurora spent all her time with three eccentric old fairies.
As mentioned earlier, many also lost one or both parents when they were children.
And then there are all of theothertraumatic things that happen to them.
In reality, these young women should be socially awkwardat best.
Grownup-you might not buy this as readily as un-jaded child-you.
It makes sense kids wouldn’t notice these for several reasons.
Firstly, they may not have seen Disney’s entire canon.
Secondly, you need a keen eye to catch ‘em.
In the opening scenes ofThe Little Mermaidwhen King Triton rides into the, uh, stadium (Amphitheater?
),Mickey Mouse and friends are in the audience.
When the Sultan inAladdinstacks his toys, a beast figurine can be seen near the top.
The King and Grand Duke ofCinderellamake a cameo as wedding guestsinThe Little Mermaid.
Who knows how many more there might be!
They’re kinda pervy or wait, maybe we are
It happens to the best of us.
WhenFrozen’s Anna and Kristoff argue over how well she knows Hans, he asks herHans’ foot size.
To which Anna responds, “Foot size doesn’t matter” hello, bedroom humor!
Some of the songs are low-key terrifying
Have you ever really listened to"Savages" fromPocahontas?
How about “Kill the Beast” fromBeauty and the Beast?
What’s a girl gotta do to get a curvy princess?
Disney princesses seem to be drawn up using the Barbie-body-measurement system.
Only, that’s a crock, right?
People are more inclusive and socially conscious.
It’s time for the Disney princesses to hop on board, too.
I mean, nobody complained about Merida and Moana, right?
Because they’re amazing.
Why do the men all have banana hands?
Seriously, the guys' hands are all so gigantic in comparison to the princesses and other female characters.
Is this supposed to represent the strength of men versus the delicateness of women?
Okay, so in real life, many men’s hands are larger than their female counterparts.
It’s amazing we didn’t all grow up with super-bizarre body dysmorphia.
Is this the banana-hands takeaway?
God, let’s hope not.
Can you imagine Jasmine without Rajah?
Pocahontas without Flit and Meeko?
Growing up, you probably liked the pets.
As an adult, you love the pets.
jump out at you.
Thus, the animals in the movies prove even more endearing.
The princesses are all so young!
Still, it’s wipe the women are young.
Their girlish features are one giveaway.
However, what’s most troubling is just how little life experience they’ve had.
They’re so naive to the ways of the world.
That’s not to say this sort of scenario never happens in real life.
Some couples, like high school sweethearts, for instance, meet young and marry.
Some of those couples even stay together.
However, those people typically have a fairly normal existence prior to the point they meet.
Disney princesses decidedly do not.
You have your whole life to get hitched!
Only one Disney princess becomes a mom
It’s Ariel!
It’s also intriguing because it challenges the long-held tropes about a woman’s roles.
However, that pattern of thought has historically also included starting a family.
