When I originally was going to do this I was going to look at Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty. I ended up changing it but I did watch SB recently and it's when you watch it looking closely that you realize Aurora is hardly in the movie at all. The main characters and story really seems to be about the 3 fairies and Maleficent.

But yeah, Disney attempts to market these as strong, independant women and what do they do in the movies? Go from daughter to wife, marriage being their idea of a "happy ever after."

Also, watching The Little Mermaid again...do you realize how many sexual overtones there are between Ariel and Ursula...it's unreal XD

There has to be....I mean for one it's lesbians and two...tentacles would be involved.

In fact my first title for this paper involved the phrase "Feminist Tentacles"

But then I got daring and decided to put vagina in the title 8D

Wow, that was a really fantastic paper. I wish I was doing something similar; I'd cite you. :D

I lol'd a little bit at your large periods.

^^; Aww, thanks.

I don't think they stand out as much once you actually print it. No one's called me out on them yet |D

...Only pet peeve is that The Little Mermaid is not a 90's movie. It came out in 1989.

Ssh, don't tell my professor.

...I can't believe I forgot to mention that I loved this paper. I mean, in all honestly, before you posted it, I had been thinking about the Jafar and Jasmine affair (For whatever reason), and realized, while I loved that movie...it certainly had aspects in it I questioned.

After reading this *again* I feel inspired to work on my Twilight paper! ...Except, no matter how stereotyped those two are, poor Bella, with her nonexistant personality, had no chance.
