Hey guys, my little one loves princesses (of course) and movies like The Little Mermaid, Tangled, Frozen etc. I do not dissuade her from watching them despite my disdain for the way the male/female dynamic is displayed although I do talk to her about my thoughts on such things and make various comments when I feel it appropriate. I also do a lot of activities with her to counteract any residual brainwashing effects in areas like learned helplessness, tolerance for failure, persistence, etc.
That all being said, I have no idea if it's enough and I was thinking perhaps I could add in some alternate kids movies that don't feature a helpless princess being rescued by a prince with whom she falls in love immediately and pledges to marry and live with forever after. Do any such movies exist?
In short, are there any TRP approved kids movies suitable for a 5 year old girl?
Thanks.
EDIT: Frozen wasn't a great choice, it just came to mind due to being so recent (plus I never saw the last third) but you all seemed to immediately get what types of movies I was referring to and offered some great suggestions, so thank you.
