What do you expect when we found out Pocahontas was really Snow White. Those 7 little guys dwarfs around her, should have been the give away.
hahahahahahahaha!
On a more serious note, I don't believe the personal lives or the movie histories of Kristen Bell and Keira Knightley give them any room or right to moralize to anyone. But, hey, that's Follywood and Liberals for you. As actors, they think "words" are always true and golden. To those of us with a brain, they are just "empty words".
Well, really, If I kiss an unconscious woman I've never met...that's not so much romantic, as assault. I think her criticisms are understandable. She's not going nuts over them. She's just making some valid criticisms.
Also, the Little Mermaid is a story about a teen girl who runs away from home to make a life-altering, dangerous decision to pseudo-stalk a man she's never met in the hopes of dating him. He falls in love with her, despite her not being able to talk, because he thinks she's hot. Also, the guy she's married to has probably eaten several of the fish she's good friends with.
They're stories. To try and compare what happens in a Disney fairy tale to real life doesn't quite work. The majority of kids are more than capable of understanding the difference between fantasy and the real world, and few of them are going to think what happens in a cartoon is what happens in reality. Seriously, why would you kiss an unconscious woman in real life? Way to wreck an entertaining story. Great job, mom!
It's like a dad in our area who was upset because a group of boys decided to have a Nerf war as one of their group activities. Does he really think teenage kids don't understand the difference between Nerf (or laser tag, or paintball) and real guns?
Isn't the whole point of the apple, a warning to children that they shouldn't take gifts from strangers, and that the stranger was evil and poisoned the apple.
In the story Snow White cleary did the wrong thing by trusting the stranger and taking the apple and se later suffered the consequences.
So wasn't it an early type of beware of strangers message.

What do teenagers have to do with five and three year olds?

The kising to revive, is similar to the kiss of life, and we breathe in to peoples mouths and pump their chest to revive them.
Nah...the Snow White stuff was assault, if I remember correctly. If they were dating, then no, but I don't believe they were.
That's not to say I'm telling people not to let their kids watch those movies, but parents often don't let their kids watch excessively violent movies, movies with adult nudity, movies with foul language. It's all for the same sorts of reasons, and people are making too big damn deal out of the mother not wanting her five and three year old to watch these movies.
If she was saying "I don't want my five and three year old watching 'Beavis and Butthead do America'" nobody would have any objection.

Snow White had a few beers, the drugs in the apple made her memory fuzzy, she couldn't remeber the location and it all happened 500 years ago.
Although that won't stop an FBI Investigation.

I don't think Snow White is going to morally corrupt children, and a ot of fairytales have dark messages as do many nursery rhymes, but then again it's a big bad world out there and children need to learn not to just trust anyone.

I don't think Snow White is going to morally corrupt children, unless it's an adult version involving seven horny dwarves.
I don't think Beavis and Butthead do America will either. Hell, I don't think twelve year olds watching porn will either, or watching gratuituous violence, but I don't see why the gratuitous violence or porn for tweens is much worse than Sleeping Beauty or The Little Mermaid for three and five year olds. It's all the same kind of thing. If you want to try to train your kids by giving them good examples, you presumably try certain strategies, like not letting them watch certain programs.
I don't know if it'll work...but different parents just try different things.
The wolf should be arrested for property damage at the pig's house, but Little Red Riding Hood should be shunned for questioning the other wolf's right to dress and self-identify as a grandmother.
It's somewhat ironic that a woman now most famous for playing the role of a Disney princess is bashing earlier generation Disney princesses.
