| Not just because of this, but it sure didn't hurt! |
If you don’t know how popular Disney’s newest animated
feature, Frozen, currently is you a)
know no girls between the ages of 2 and 12, and b) possibly live under a rock.
Not only is it being hailed as the best Disney movie since Lion King, the song “Let
it Go” from the film has been topping the charts for weeks. I might be late to
the game, but I just watched it for the first time. And, I’m not going to lie,
I loved it!
A princess who doesn’t need some random rich guy to be her savior?
A princess who is not only brave enough and tough enough to forgive her sister
who she believes has horribly mistreated her, but who is also willing to save
her sister a great personal cost to herself? That, ladies and gentlemen, is a
great role model for young girls.
Are the characters flawed? Absolutely! Beautifully so. Are
they damaged? You bet they are. Who isn’t? That’s what makes them so relatable.
Those are the kinds of characters I want to present in the books I write. Characters
that have depth and resonate with kids, because even at a young age, bright,
wonderful, amazing girls already know they aren’t perfect.
Did you see this movie? What did you think? Honesty is welcome here...
