What's not to love about a fiesty damsel with beautiful long hair?
Overall, a much more entertaining watch than our last Disney cartoon, The Frog Princess. Although I was a little disturbed by the scene where the show's villain, Mother Goethel, sings eerily, "Mother knows best!"
While yes, Mother Goethel was a fake mommy, at best. And there is such a thing as parental abuse, where parents exert their authority to lie, manipulate and deceive their children. But to the typical young child in the audience, it might send the subliminal message that mommies do NOT know best.
As a mother of young children, I've always told my children to trust me to make decisions in their best interests, even if I cannot always explain every single factor of my decision. I may make mistakes, and I'll admit it when I do. But I believe that such trust is essential, especially in the early years.
Anyhow, the Girl was scribbling today and drew this picture.
At one glance, it doesn't seem much. Until I realised that she was drawing the lantern scene from the movie. Pretty abstract, but I like it!
