Interesting article that points out the repetitiveness of Disney's heroines in the last decade or so.

It's interesting because I remember the 2-D princesses and heroines being broken down into two groups for being "too boring and reserved" or "too feminist and fiesty". So Rapunzel was considered something new because she was the middle ground to both groups with a dash of social awkwardness tossed in (rightfully so, she's been locked in a tower for 18 years with only a chameleon and one other person to speak to).

But now all of the heroines after her are such obvious attempts at being #relatable in the way that Rapunzel was that I find them rather unforgettable in the end even if their movies go on to be big successes. Maybe it's because I'm not the intended audience? But that didn't stop me from liking characters that were made "before my time" which had a specific audience it was targeting. I can tell you the difference between Cinderella and Snow White, but I can't tell you the difference between Anna and Rapunzel if you paid me :lol:[/quote]
