This is just something I pondered, but basically the topic is..

Disney princesses: good for little girls, or bad?

I only wonder about this because I spend my entire day babysitting my 4 year old niece, who LOVES Disney princesses. Some people say its good for the girls to look up to these animated heroins. They inspire to fight for what your dreams and what you believe in. But honestly.. is a little girl going to look so deeply into the moral of the story and be like, "Wow.. she didn't want to end up like that, so she went against everything against all odds so she could be with her prince! I'm going to do that too!"
From observation.. this is what my niece sees.
PRINCESS!! She gets people to serve her, people love her, she gets lots of things, shes royalty, she doesn't have to listen to what the lower lives tell her. And yeah.. she's going through a "I'm a princess" phase, which I know isn't bad. All kids go through a royalty phase at one point in their life.

But really.. is this stuff more inspiring, or is it just making them think they're princesses and better than everyone else? Some people look too into it.. and say its horrible and people shouldn't sell Disney princess stuff. But then some think its just Disney's way of making money.
Then again.. it could ultimately lead to the desire of having a glamorous lifestyle.

What do you guys think?
