Please try to remove you bias and give good reasons why you choose said movie!
I've given my reasons on Tangled. Really thinking hard about my next choice though, the only one I'm not thinking of picking yet is probably Pocahontas. Surprisingly, TLM left with no fights and no arguing/controversy. Good job guys!
About Sleeping Beauty: To quote the quote from my own article:
“Name me a big, blockbuster, mainstream film made in the last fifty years that has:
A predominately female cast.
Where none of the main female protagonists are young or conventionally attractive (this is if you consider Aurora to be a supporting character.)
Where they are not sexualised in any way.
Where the fact that they are women is simply incidental and in no way effects their competence.
Where the female protagonists are working with rather than against each other.”
The whole movie is about woman making decisions, it's basically about the fairies vs. Maleficient, so even if Aurora is not a particulary feminist character, the movie as a whole definitly is.
Concerning Tangled: Rapunzel is the only Disney Princess who ends up in a true position of power, and frankly, she kicks ass! Plus, Eugene is clearly interested in her character, and not her looks! He is feminist, she is feminist, the whole movie is feminist.
I chose Pocahontas. While it ends on a good note, with Pocahontas being respected for her wisdom aso, the movie as a whole is not particulary feminist, because all the decision Pocahontas makes she makes because of a man. She doesn't fight war because she loves peace, she does it because she is in love with John Smith (and because the stupid arrow points in the right direction). Plus, she never really refutes the Kokoum is a good man because he is strong enough to basically protect her...hell, it's really convenient that he gets killed along the way otherwise she might have to marry him after all, wisdom or not.
Tangled, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty (if you see the fairies as main characters) are all about woman, who have a dream and persue this dream, independent from the men in their lives. With Pocahontas, it is all about "I don't marry Kokoum, I want something else!" and them about "I want to be with John Smith"....only at the very end she makes her decision independent from her love life (which is the one reason I didn't vote her out sooner). And there is still the notion that there is some sort of choice, that a woman can either be successful or married but not both...something I think is anti-feminist (even if feminists tend to complain about every princess finding her prince).
Glad The Little Mermaid left! I adore that movie, it's my favorite, but it should have gone.
