It's true that recently I have had this fascination with Disney movies. I don't know why that is. I haven't bought a Disney movie in quite some time. Perhaps it is because of the rereleasing of Sleeping Beauty that I have given much thought to this multi-billion dollar company. I give them a lot of credit. They have taken a breather from their sequels and prequels to bring out the "oldie-but-goodies," fondly known as the Disney Classics. It definitely brings in more money when they release the "Special Edition" or, even better, "Platinum Edition"! And there are us suckers out there who buy these editions because we can't stand the thought of living without these movies that we grew up with. I can recall the days of awaiting the release of the next Disney feature on VHS and being more excited to see what the cover looked like than to see the movie again. But yet I can't keep myself from buying these movies.
I have become greatly annoyed by the "Disney Princesses." Who decides which Disney characters get to be princesses? I thought all girls were princesses. Or was that a lie? I don't know. But I do know that there are many Disney "princesses" who don't get the attention they deserve. Don't get me wrong. I love Cinderella and Aurora. Snow White's a little annoying, but she's okay. Ariel is my favorite Disney character of all time. But there are many other characters who should receive the same glory as those who were born into privilege. And so I present the list of "Unsung Disney Princesses." These are women and girls that I think deserve to be princesses just as much as Jasmine and Cinderella. I have listed them to the side. Please review them and think of each one thoughtfully. Give them a little time. Because they are princesses too.
