Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - One woman and 7 guys who like to sing about her on the way to work.
Pinocchio - A girls dream, maybe a guys too?
Bambi - Nothing like watching a kids mom get murdered and than in the next scene seeing it playing like nothing happened.
Cinderella - Nothing like teaching kids that if you are good looking a man will take you no matter what. If 'Cindy' was ugly would this story happen? Plus the 5000 remakes of this. Can they please stop it!
Peter Pan - Nothing like getting fly and jumping out a window to fly. Or the murderous captain killing people or the song about Red Man.
Lady and the Tramp - Lady and Tramp eat a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Nothing like the woman going for the 'dirty' man that the parents would not approve of.
Sleeping Beauty - A handsome prince breaks out of prison to kiss an unconscious woman.
101 Dalmatians - Nothing like a woman killing dogs. The movie also teaches kids what an idiot is.
Beauty and the Beast - Nothing like the woman falls for the ugly man. It happens all the time in real life!
Man I did not realize I knew show mcuh about this crap! Eric

You landed a woman didn't you?
Another thing that bugs me about Snow White. Prince Charming comes and sees her dead in your glass casket and decides, "She's hot enough dead. I think I'll kiss her".
If I could suggest, don't build this hatred so much. One day you may have to read (and read and read and read and...) these stories to someone. You may even have to watch these movies over and over again. Just looking into the future....you seem to be too young for these stories/movies.

Good thing she woke up after he kissed her! Who knows how far the sick bastard would have gone otherwise!
None of these romantic endings helped Quosimodo, he was too plain ugly, he didn't win the hand of Esmeralda even if he had the qualities of Jesus himself
Fairy tales helped wolves and coyotes get a very bad and undeserved reputation. Actually , that might have begun centuries before disney tales. One of the reasons the animals have been practically wiped out in the Disney era. [ January 08, 2005: Message edited by: Helen Thomas ]
