To be fair, it was not originally even intended for children.

All of the Disney movies that taught little girls that their highest ambition should be to marry into the monarchy. Cinderella is garbage, Disney ruined the Little Mermaid by taking the gay out of it, Beauty and the Beast is highly questionable despite having the best protagonist out of the old movies by virtue of being a woman with a personality. Frozen deconstructed the patriarchal tropes to a degree but ultimately engaged in them. Brave is… Actually, Brave is the only good one where the main character is a princess. Merida is awesome because she doesn’t want to be a princess, she wants to be a badass archer. Brave gets a pass. But Moana and Encanto are great because they take the format out of the monarchy and into a 21st century where women can be community leaders, standing on their own merits, leading through their personal resilience and empathy. We need more movies like Encanto and less movies like Frozen.

We should be teaching little girls to be leaders, not princesses. A princess’s job is to be married off to secure a political alliance through continuing a bloodline. They’re bougie prostitutes. That’s NOT appropriate for children. A leader like Moana or Mirabel listens, questions, decides, and inspires. These are the qualities we should be teaching to the next generation. I would support reclassifying the old Disney movies as suitable for older age groups. Small children don’t have the critical thinking to look at these historical works without absorbing their outdated values.

[off topic]

The original cartoons were made to be shown to all audiences in theaters.

They were supposed to be silly enough for kids, but were basically aimed at the people paying for the tickets.
