The Disney Renaissance refers to an era beginning roughly in the late 1980s and ending around 2000, during which Walt Disney Animation Studios returned to making successful animated films mostly based on well-known stories, restoring public and critical interest in Disney.

I talked to my mom about homophobia because she used to be one huge. But she’s coming around little by little, and I’m proud of her.

"There is an irresponsibility to this decision that is appalling for women and young girls. Disney marketing and the powers that be that allow them to do such things should be ashamed of themselves. I think it’s atrocious what they have done to Merida. When little girls say they like it because it’s more sparkly, that’s all fine and good but, subconsciously, they are soaking in the sexy ‘come hither’ look and the skinny aspect of the new version. It’s horrible! Merida was created to break that mold — to give young girls a better, stronger role model, a more attainable role model, something of substance, not just a pretty face that waits around for romance. They have been handed an opportunity on a silver platter to give their consumers something of more substance and quality — THAT WILL STILL SELL — and they have a total disregard for it in the name of their narrow minded view of what will make money. I forget that Disney’s goal is to make money without concern for integrity. Silly me."

Remember when Brenda Chapman was kicked off of Brave after creating and working on it for eight fucking years? Well, here’s what she has to say about Disney giving Merida a """sexy""" makeover.  (via thechosenjuan)

“I absolutely loved the movie ‘Brave’, but I was upset there was no prince in the end. I understand it was the fact she wanted to be her own person and select her own fate, but it felt like a stab to Walt to break tradition with the Princess stories. I just feel like every Princess needs a Prince in the end. Case closed”

[waltdisneyconfessionsrage]

You… You just missed the point… It flew over your head and it will never return.

The story of Brave is not a romance or about Merida’s independence: it’s a mother-daughter bonding story. The point of the film is to see the mending of Elinor and Merida’s relationship as they look for solutions to their problems. Each has to go out of their comfort zone in order to solve whatever particular problem is present; Merida using diplomacy and Elinor having to use force.

And Brave is not some stab at Walt. Brave is a piece that is precious to its creator, Brenda Chapman. She wanted to tell a story that reflected her feelings on motherhood and one that mirrored her relationship with her own daughter. No, the movie is not some arbitrary stab at Walt Disney (Shrek did that enough on its own), who by way, was a champion for story and character, not romance. Secondly, this is a Pixar production, not just a Disney one. Pixar’s story telling is way more progressive than Disney’s. They use different kinds of characters to tell stories that aren’t usually told, and only one, Wall-E, uses romance as one of the main plot points.

.And this last line?

 I just feel like every Princess needs a Prince in the end. Case closed

There is so much wrong with this mentality. This displays an archaic, rigid view of gender roles as well as a disregard for the author’s intent. Saying that a princess needs a prince is extremely problematic: by saying that a princess needs a prince, you’re removing any desires or needs of the character and reducing her role to one of an object. By needing a prince, her only purpose is reduced to being his compliment rather than an individual moral agent. And theis statement harkens back to the days when princesses weren’t individuals; they were used as bargaining chips; given in marriage for political and financial advancement.

And the case is not closed OP: the case is that you missed the point of Brave and your viewpoint is sexist as well as outdated.

This couldn’t have been more perfectly worded honestly just

BOOM

[chlove-art]

I loved Brave because it did not focus on a love interest between princess and prince. It told a different, wonderful story that was equally (if not more) touching than the redundant princess in distress/male savior storyline. There is so much more you can tell in a story, and Brave is (one of the?) first Disney to actually prove it.

[swankivy]

I don’t know about y’all but heteronormative movies featuring a prince and a princess getting together for happily ever after are just not ubiquitous enough in this world! You never, ever see it! Every movie out there is ALWAYS pushing for this weird agenda for people to stay single or have non-romantic relationships with each other! Marriage and guy/girl relationships never get a chance to be represented! NEVER!

[/sarcasm]

I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief every time I see someone say that one of the very few movies that DOESN’T focus on a guy getting a girl or a girl getting a guy really ought to have thought better of it. Do you REALLY think every story needs to reinforce this kind of relationship as normal, to the exclusion of all other important relationships? There are other stories out there y’all!
