Disney films are just replicas for the classic fairy tales but I can't deny that they started a beautiful era of fantasy. As for ghibli, they are films made from heart of the creator with depth in each of the characters plus wonderful animation to feast on. I say both are great but ghibli moves refine the beauty of storytelling and imagination!

Most Disney princesses have a sense of self outside of needing a man. For starters Snow White who gets the most shit for needing a man only even talks about the prince 3 times and he’s barely relevant, she’s hardworking, compassionate caring, we see her when she’s vulnerable and scared in the woods and then when she realises she was scaring the animals she overcomes her fears with compassion and empathy. She’s an incredibly kind person and people say she’s not independent but she kind of is? She takes responsibility for cleaning the house in exchange for a room and food because she’s like “their living environment sucks and they need some self help.”, and she develops a friendship with them. But she has flaws in being too naive and trusting to a fault. She’s not some damsel in distress. Then Cinderella also gets a lot of shit for being a damsel, and it’s like this young woman is an abuse victim, hello?! You can’t just expect her to go off on her own in a world that would likely be very hard for her to get room and shelter. Another thing about her is that she’s hardworking and compassionate, she does her job and tries to be optimistic despite her abuse. She wants one night out to go to the ball, (she didn’t even want to meet the prince and when she meets him she’s like “oh wait- I haven’t met the prince lol.”. She also takes agency in trying to break out of her room after being locked up. And she deserves better than being relegated to a gold digger. Aurora, ehh She’s not much of a character because the story isn’t actually focused on her but rather Prince Phillip, but she does have characterisation through her relationships with the animals and the fairies. Ariel has a heck ton of personality and characterisation, she’s very curious, passionate and caring, she has a very big desire to be human and to explore their world and culture. We see her brushing her hair, humming as she happily swims, we see her heart and vulnerable after her dad destroys her all her stuff. She’s got a lot of character and she doesn’t give up her voice for a man, she trades her voice for legs so she can go to the human world, granted it’s in a manipulative deal and partially motivated by her crush + being emotionally hurt by her father. Belle is a very curious woman, she loves reading, she sticks up for herself, she doesn’t take shit from Gaston or the Beast. She is a dreamer though and she wants to find someone who understands her. She doesn’t experience Stockholm syndrome, she’s not much of a prisoner and it’s more of a promise to stay, which she breaks when she’s done putting up with his shit. She only chooses to stay because he needs help after being attacked by wolves after hurting her, then she starts to see his humanity and he has a character arc and she starts liking him. Jasmine, lots of agency and personality, she wants more out of life and wants to be able to make her own choices, so she runs away, meets a cute guy who gets arrested and she thinks he’s dead. She actually tells Aladdin to piss off when he’s being a douche. She’s intelligent and resourceful, we see her upset and in her room, she stands up for herself. She manages to trick Aladdin into confirming that he’s Aladdin. Pocahauntus I’m not going to touch with a ten foot pole because she was a real person and she deserves better than to be represented in that shitty story made up by the gross creepy John Smith. Mulan, do I need say more? She’s great. Tiana, another hardworking woman, just wish she wasn’t a frog for over half the movie, she deserved better. Rapunzel, naive but Kind, headstrong, she’s great. Merida, another headstrong princess, ect.
I think a lot of perceptions about the princesses as weak and pathetic, are based off misogynistic standards that women cannot be strong unless they have masculine traits like physical strength, a lot of the time it is the princess’ determination, perseverance and resilience that saves her, while the prince just finishes the job acting as a plot device. And to say that a woman needing help is bad, is also just wrong, because it’s alright to ask for help regardless of gender. Saying that these women are shallow weak caricatures is simply false, because they have personality, they have motivation and desires, their lives don’t just circle around a man, but they do get their romance because there’s nothing wrong with wanting romance. And a lot of people lack the comprehension skills to look at the characters on a deeper level and propagate the messages that are spread by people who don’t have an accurate understanding of the story such as that “I don’t let my kids watch the little mermaid because She gave up her voice for a man” statement. That’s simply not true and if they’d actually watch the films, people would see that the princesses have much more depth than people give them credit for, and that the general concedes surrounding the films are simply just wrong.

Disney princesses are more then "just needing a man" and having no "self worth". They empower themselves in their own ways and find love along the way too. Ex. Cinderella whole thing is about being kind even through the hardest of times. She just got lucky and found a prince who wants her but she never went out of her way for it.

Gurl!Disney princesses aren't dumb and weak.They represented femeninity and kindness (so kind that even the animals loved them). In the midst of the sad changes that happened to them they were still optimistic and hopeful.They represented a different spectrum of strength compared to ghibli leads

Please stop saying all the disney princesses are just damsels in distress. They have character. They have wants, desires, goals and accomplishments. Yes studio Ghibli movies are amazing but stop perpetuating the lies that old Disney movies are just about a woman being saved. The Disney princesses are so much more than that.

I get what you mean, but disney princesses are more than that. They empowered themselves in a more "traditionally feminine" way. I love more proactive female characters who do all the fighting. But I also love that we can also have female characters like traditional Disney princesses. Its called diversity and variety for a reason. We can have both, yall!

I’m sorry but am I the only one that is super tired of people calling the classical Disney princess movies an example of “damsel in distress” or “no self worth?” like the majority of the classical Disney princess movies they’re very empowering in their way and weren’t really what’s the modern world tells that they are.
Snow White escapes death three times throughout the movie which is very impressive, the first thing that she saw when she escapes was a house and went in the house, no one that a damsel in distress would escape death three times by herself and know what to do when she’s was about to get killed Snow White saw the opportunity and went into the house for her safety.
Cinderella had only one main goal throughout the Movie, She wanted to go to the ball. She did not have the Prince in her mind when she wanted to go to the ball, the prince ended up dancing with her because he found her beautiful not only that she also left the prince During the ball night And also escape her stepmother attempting to hide her from the prince when he was trying to find her
Similar things with Ariel she wanted To be a human/go up to the surface Due to her father's strict rules she was forbidden to go but she did it anyway just to see what it was like when she Was up to the surface The ship Was about to sink and not only that when the prince was drowning Ariel save his Life without even knowing him pretty Much empowerment right there
And what about Belle not only she was not scared by the beast she also took care of him throughout the movie
These Disney princess movies are the definition of empowerment but also falling in love at the same time a lot of people in the modern world don’t understand that falling in love can also be empowering I just don’t like how the modern world sees some female character falling in love and immediately think that she’s a damsel and distress and use the “she doesn’t need a man in her life She’s can be independent” on her just because they don’t like how she’s written
I feel like that female characters can be empowering and falling in love at the same time it’s natural to fall in love with somebody and the Disney princesses art example of them being empowering but also falling in love at the same time
