A film riddled with feminist ideology and poor disney stereotypes

Rating: 4/10 (7 March 2018)

A film based on the tom boy feminist ideology welded to simplistic disney stereotypes.
The usual princess story, an immensely privileged tantruming individual portrayed as a victim at the centre of the story, men only good as violent stupid ineffectual oafs for unrealistically un-empowered oppressed women to easily manipulate etc, whilst the lead individual is shown to be superior at all male virtue half the time, she then messes up the world entirely with her youthful arrogance and then practically single handedly recovers, in the usual up a tree down a tree scenario, for her only to end pretty much back at the beginning a little wiser in a way her elders understood, The only in theory beneficial message in the film being to state the arranged marriages are not good, but its probably not watched by any community that might benefit from that message, not that arranged marriages prove completely ineffectual in terms of sustaining birth rates and sometimes making successful marriages, All in all it is a 'cartoon for children' and the parables and metaphors are pretty simplistic, girls get what they want etc, but ultimately the protagonist saves the day, and then gets to write her own ticket and everyones happy, and the adults learn the lessons from the children etc, but theirs no follow up of her still being single at 40 with cats rather than children etc ;) perhaps I care too greatly for more complex realistic parables, On the upside the film is well animated and the quality good, but as per usual as with all essentially kids films, its all just a bit too chintzy disney simplistic, not sure as to the virtue of feeding this kind of fodder to children. and what harm or benefit it really does?
