Exactly!! I (and DD) love the princesses too but they are only one part of our fantasies and shouldn't be the end-all-be-all. Girls have a right to have multi-faceted personalities. My girl alternates from wanting to be a princess to wanting to be what she calls a "girl-pirate" to wanting to be a cowgirl like Jessie in Toy Story (whom she adores and made me buy her t-shirt). I think Disney should market their Disney Heroines as hard as they do their Disney Princesses. Let's face it, they have a growing number: Alice, Mulan, Pocahontas, Jessie, Lilo, Mary Poppins, Tink etc.
I have to agree,,we love the "princess movies" and I think to many people read into them,,but I did like the ending where Alice takes on her fathers role. A powerful role! That was good, my daughter liked that, but she also likes to be princess ,,,,sometimes!!
