It's not the movies, but more the TV shows, toys, endless marketing, and crap like this: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/may/16/disney-princess-merida-makeover https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/may/16/disney-princess... It seems to me that if a hyper-sexualized/glamorous Princess Collection will make 2% more profit for Disney then that's what's going to happen regardless of how many young girls feel inadequate about their looks and end up with eating disorders. And yeah, sure, they'll kowtow for a while when there's a backlash, and maybe you'll get a plot like in Frozen about sisters who are supportive of each other. But that lags the culture by like 10-15 years and only happens when there's profit in bucking the damsel-in-distress princess tropes that Disney itself is mostly responsible for. Maybe once they could be ahead of the game instead of patting themselves on the back for finally reversing long-standing trends of their own creation. Wouldn't it be nice to have a back catalog you could be proud of, rather than have to apologize for?
