The reason why girls have confidence/ self image issues; perpetuation of all stereotypes

Rating: 3/10 (10 April 2011)

Offensive. When will it end, when will I be able to watch a kid's movie without the underlying messages being ridiculous.Disney wants all the little girls to feel like princesses, but lines like "My hair loses it's loses it's power when it turns brown"--Rapunzel is not appropriate when girl's already have complexes about their image. But that's what I'm least worried about, why is it like every other Disney movie, the most powerful woman in the story is old, evil and manipulative. This whole ideology of meek, soft spoken women, being the damsel in distress is stomach turning. What I find most disturbing is the depiction of each character, and since the story is about hair i will bring it up The Antagonists Gothel: Powerful woman, Black thick curly hair.High cheek bones, Looks kind of like Cher, or a Jewish lady. nonetheless.. Ethnic Stabbington brothers: Red hair, long thick sideburns. Stereotypical look of Irishmen.
Protagonist Maximus: An all white stallion. white, couldn't hurt to be black or brown could it Flynn: Loose wavy hair, "a thief with the heart of gold" Alladin much? Rapunzel: loves cleaning, long blonde hair that symbolizes her power,green eyes that take up half of her face, and a body with the proportion of a Barbie doll
It's no wonder why this nation, has the highest rates of anorexia and spends the most money on "beauty" products. How about a movie where racist and gender stereotypes aren't perpetuated in children's films
