As the quote above points out, one thing that sucks about analyzing pop culture from a feminist perspective is that you have to call into question cultural objects that you love. I grew up with Disney films and loved all the Disney princesses; however, it's hard to avoid that the messages in these films are hardly progressive when it comes to women. But, instead of analytically tearing these films apart, I discovered a few Youtube videos that did the analyzing for me, with a sense of humor. If you want to see an absolutely hilarious representation of Disney's anti-feminist messages, watch the "Advice From a Cartoon Princess" video series. They have advice from Snow White, The Little Mermaid, and Belle. If you grew up watching the Disney princesses and you appreciate a good dose of sarcasm, you should definitely watch these videos!
