The Truth behind the “magical” world of Disney.
By Madison Smith- Property of DMHS Wolf'sprint
Although numerous celebrities have tried to compete, there is no denying that the only women that have remained every girl’s role model since the days of light-up sneakers are the Disney princesses. They have shiny, quaffed hair, elegant ball gowns, and unnaturally perfect smiles without awkward middle school head-gear (it glimmered in its own way…).
So, how can it be that five animated women came to dominate every single, squishy girl soul from the ages zero to one hundred? Deception.
Of course you never noticed when you were little because you were too focused on coloring …show more content…
Her name should just be enough! When a man calls you beautiful every now and then, it’s endearing, but when he calls you nothing but “beautiful” it’s because he doesn’t know your name (or he is genuinely afraid of mixing it up with the other women’s names….). Sleeping Beauty is just a good way to call someone a lazy butt. Aurora is the reason that women sleep 16 plus hours to get their “beauty sleep” (hunny, that much sleep is doing just the opposite). Princess Aurora is the epiphany of your best friend whose boyfriend lives in Jamanji working as a doctor that heals sick fairies and models part time ( OH YEAH!! He doesn’t exist…). She spends all of her time daydreaming for things that she wants in life instead of actually working to get them. Men don’t just fall out of the sky and land in your woods, Aurora; time to stop talking to squirrels and start talking to studs.

Unless you are the kind of girl that can win a lottery with one ticket, Snow White is not a safe route for a role model. Simply said, she is the luckiest son-of-a-gun that can survive taking candy from a Stranger (if there was a van, she would have jumped into it too). Snow White taught young girls to be naïve and to just assume that society is always good (how’s that for a little burst of sunshine?). She also teaches that you can only make friends by doing all of their chores for them and that, when you really get yourself into a pickle, you need a man to make it all better.
