  Yes, and Disney took the criticism about Ariel in stride and made Beauty and the Beast, about a studious bookworm resistant to the charms of boys. Still firmly in the 90’s.

    Might have been nice if her defining trait as per the title of the movie wasn’t her beauty then. Step in the right direction, still pretty lame.

    The princess in Beauty and the Beast exists to redeem, civilize, and forgive someone who has kidnapped her family. This is not a narrative I find more compelling for my daughter than a mermaid trading her voice away to have the opportunity to seduce a sailor prince.
