Disney loves to create strong, yet feminine, female characters that allow little girls to dress up in princess gowns, yet retain a high self-esteem. Disney heroines are always discontented with their lot in life - and they just LOVE to sing about it! In the very first Disney flick, Snow White warbled about how "someday my prince will come" ... Belle wants "much more than this provincial life" ... Ariel wishes she could be "part of your world" ... Pocahontas pines for whatever lies "just beyond the riverbend" ... the list goes on. Cinderella wants to be a princess instead of a peasant; Jasmine wants to be a peasant instead of a princess. Whatever happened to a girl simply counting her blessings and shutting the hell up?
