Another Willful, Disobedient Girl

Rating: 4/10 (15 June 2012)

Why are these "role models" for young girls always willful and disobedient to their parent(s)? Why can't Pixar and Disney portray strong, confident young women who are also respectful of their family's/community's values? I would understand if the societal values were portrayed as negative/wrong/evil but they are not necessarily so -- only insofar as the daughter is concerned. It is possible to grow into your own "path" in life while still being respectful. Granted, everything always turns out OK in the end (it IS Pixar/Disney after all). Why not show a process of working out the girl's desires together? Is Hollywood not clever enough to make that process entertaining. Can they only write negative views of relationships? Seems like it.
