Oh lord, I'd never thought about how misogynistic the Disney princesses are. Gotta teach little girls that even princesses do the house cleaning.
I actually think it’s the other way around. Their initial responsibility is one of traditional gender roles, but they all throw that away and become something far beyond what society expected of them.
Tbf it's been a long time since I watched any movies with Disney princesses, but I'm pretty sure the ones I remember watching tended to reinforce stereotypes.
Oh for sure, but what I’m saying is that the message is “don’t be satisfied doing housework, you’re a princess even if you don’t know it” which subverts the stereotypical expectation they set up in the first act.
