Every princess fairy tale always has a happily ever after with a perfect husband to accompany the beautiful princess. Do you believe this is affecting little girls and their expectations of the future? These two sources, Storify and Wordpress believe Disney has indeed corrupted children’s minds. Storify says that all princesses are skinny, have perfect hair and makeup and are always dressed to impress. All of us adults know that it is practically impossible to achieve what the princesses have done in the movies. Wordpress says it gives unrealistic romances in the Disney movies. Both articles have similar examples that include:
1. It teaches young girls that no matter what; they will find someone to love.

Instead of the movies teaching girls to have their own viewpoint on the life they want to live they give you preset expectations. Not everyone has to have a man in order to be happy. Many people are very happy without a significant other. I'm sick and tired of Disney movies saying you have to have a man in order to fulfill all of your dreams and accomplishments. Attention all girls: You can do anything you put your mind to!!!! You don't need anyone but yourself!!
I'm not saying that if you want a boyfriend you can't have one, I'm just saying the world won't crumple to the ground if you don't have one.
2. Makes it seem like it is a women’s duty is to clean.

Woah now! Just because I am a women does not mean I have to all the housework! I don't know of any girl who just wants to clean their entire life! Men are just as good at cooking and cleaning as women are, but of course only women are expected to do all of it. Women should be going out and making something of themselves if they choose, instead of being forced to clean. By all means, if you are a woman and you want to clean then go for it! I'm only saying if you don't want to or don't like to then you don't have to. Disney only has the women (princesses) cleaning, sweeping, and cooking never the man (prince). I think its time for a change, so what do you say Disney? Lets see some men doing the cleaning and cooking around the house next time!

HEY! Where's my fairy god mother?? I want a lot of things but never get them and no fairy god mother ever shows up! Either I'm just getting the short end of the stick or there isn't actually a fairy god mother. Ding ding ding, you guessed it there isn't actually a fairy god mother! In order to get things in this life you have to go out and work them. You can't just expect things to happen without doing anything about it. In life you have work hard and have perseverance with every thing you do!
4. Belle stays with the beast even though he has anger management issues
4. Belle stays with the beast even though he has anger management issues
Everyone who has watched Beauty and the Beast knows the Beast clearly has an anger issue and the beginning of the movie, and everyone also knows Belle stays with him anyways. It is awful that Disney is teaching girls to stay with those who have anger management issues! No one should stay with their significant other if they could snap at any moment and hurt you. Instead Disney is saying all men will change their ways in order to get what they want which in this instance is the girl.
Disney movies have given many unrealistic situations. Disney has shown young girls that they have to be perfectly beautiful in order to find love which is just outrageous. Young girls can now think that finding love is the only thing that matters in their life. These girls have been exposed to many unrealistic things that will make for a harsh awakening if they believe all things they are shown in the princess movies.
