I don't think Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast should be disregarded as girly just because love is a main theme and they involve some of the later stamped disney princesses. These three movies especially are some of Disneys finest work in setting a magical mood with colours, imo. Nothing can surpass the evil of Maleficent and Ursula as well! Only Scar can even compete.
You know, I saw this girl on a website called That Guy With The Glasses she calls herself The Nostalgia Chick but her real name is Lindsay Ellis. She reviews the films that The Nostalgia Critic deems too "girly" for him to handle. She reviewed Pocahontas but she hasn't touched upon The Little Mermaid yet and I don't know if she really feels this way or if it's just an act put on for the show but she says that she absolutely hates The Little Mermaid.
And to sum it all up, when she expressed her hatred for The Little Mermaid she said, "I traded my soul for a vagina and a man I don't know!" ......:laughing: You gotta admit that joke was funny.
But if I had to defend this movie from Lindsay's hatred, I'd say that it exploited the cheesy "Love at first sight" cliche. And maybe the cliche' would've worked better if they had used the "Sad" ending from the book, because after all The Little Mermaid was based on a Hans Christen Andersen novel.
I feel sorry for that girl. She's missing out!
I found it difficult to understand how anyone could even think about using the words "hate" and "Disney" in the same sentence. :(

If you fast-forward to the Ursula part in this video you'll hear it directly from the horse's mouth.
Lindsay Ellis explains her reasoning in quite a few videos. She also loathes the Beauty and the Beast sequel. I won't detail her points. But I have to say I agree with her in how the movies kinda demean the value of women and skew motivations and stuff. Not the point of the movies, but that's how she saw them, and she's not really wrong imho
I know. I just find it funny how Lindsay could take an animated film so seriously, I mean it's just a cartoon movie lighten up. :cool:Quote:

Well actually Lindsay said that she hated the sequel, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas not the original, Beauty and the Beast.Quote:

So do you like any of the modern day Disney stuff? Toy Story? A Bug's Life? Finding Nemo? Bolt? Wall-E? Does any of that interest you?Quote:
