In case you forgot due to all this whining on Twitter and Tumblr about how “There aren’t enough women in movies!😭” and “Disney is misogynistic😭”, here’s a reminder that Disney has good female characters from the past that taught girls important lessons:

Belle teaches girls that loving to read does not make you an outcast, and that you should stand your ground but also showing compassion.

Ariel teaches girls to fight for their passions.

Megara teaches girls that a broken heart can be healed.

Jasmine teaches girls that femininity must be treated with respect, rather than as a trophy.

Mulan teaches girls that what they lack in muscles can be made up for with brains, and that women have the ability to things just as good as any man.

Snow White teaches girls to be kind to the people around them, and that nothing is free in this world.

Captain Amelia teaches girls that accepting help doesn't make you weak.

Cinderella teaches girls to stay strong through dark times and still be kind to others.

Rapunzel teaches girls to find their self-worth and reach for your dreams.

Esmeralda teaches girls to fight for what is right, and to not judge people by how they look.

Tiana teaches girls about hard work, dedication and independence.

This is why the past matters.

Contrary to what some might believe the fanon interpretation of Cinderella isn’t the slight they think it is to her. I mean take a look at her situation. If we go by aesthetics of the Disney movie the story takes places in 1800s England, Cinderella’s family estate has been taken over by her stepmother, she’s forced to do unpaid labor the whole day, and though it hasn’t been said out loud it’s likely her education had been put to stop the moment her father died. Meaning Cinderella has no title, no estate, no money, and no formal education. If she tried to run away there would be no resources to help her.

Cinderella is quite literally stuck between a rock and a hard place. The only realistic way that Cinderella could get out of her situation is by marrying and marrying well. So while marrying a prince might not have been Cinderella’s goal when she went to the ball, I think that there’s nothing wrong if that was her intention. In this scenario she does the opposite of what she is accused off (i.e needing to be rescued).

In fact in canon Cinderella saves herself too. The only reason why the fairy godmother comes to her to fulfill her wishes is because she never stopped believing, she literally says that to Cinderella. And the reason why the mice, the birds, and the dog go so hard for her is because she saved them and showed kindness to them first.

So whether in fanon or in canon Cinderella doesn’t need any saving.

#disney #cinderella 1950 #cinderella #princess cinderella #meta ish #just because cinderella doesn’t fit your modern idea what a heroine should be doesn’t mean she’s a heroine altogether #cinderella is amazing #both in canon and in fanon #deal with it

You know what, this is funny to me.

I think the casting did think it was cool to bring Brandy and Paolo back to play Cinderella and Charming (I actually made a post about that to be funny and well, alright then...) from the 1997 version of Cinderella and I know some of us was confused about Chad's status even before the casting because they decided to bring in a daughter for this fourth Descendants movie.

With that, I'm sure it was questioned if Chad is adopted or not because...

Yeah...

But this is where it's unintentionally funny.

Does anyone remember who played the King and Queen in 1997?

See?! This is just a funny coincidence to me. I can't be the only one who thought about this!!

#like I'm geniunely amused because this happened 26 YEARS LATER #just kiya's thoughts #cinderella #cinderella 1997 #princess cinderella #prince charming #chad charming #descendants #disney descendants #disney

Everybody’s missing Cinderella’s big point. Her superpower is “faith in kindness and courage.” Her superpower is not “ongoing desperate desire to be free.”
