you think to much ^^ For me Jasmine allways been the strong independant heroine, that was just as able to kick butt as the hero. the rebel, the one that didnt just follow sociaty.
despite having bad selfasteme myself, I never had a difficult relationship with the disney princesses. I allways saw them as rolemodels, good healthy rolemodels. I never looked to much at their apperance because; hey their drawings. Their waist is smaller than their head, and their eyes are enourmes

: Dear Disney Doll Fans,
:
: Do you have any love/ hate and/ or difficult
: relationships with certain animated Disney
: characters?
:
: I certainly have some tortured mental
: associations, with regards to both Jasmine
: and Tarzan's Jane. Why, you ask?
:
: Well, I'll give you the PG-rated version of
: my mental frustrations. The entire Disney
: version of "Aladdin" always bugged
: me, because, in my personal opinion, what
: could have been a romantic, exotic, faraway
: type of movie was spoiled by modern jokes,
: etc. I love Robin Williams, but
: "Aladdin" 's general mood has
: always seemed to be a combination of oranges
: and peppermints, which obviously don't go
: together; in other words, the old-fashioned
: exoticism of the setting is spoiled by the
: tanginess of modernity.
:
: I've always sort of disliked Jasmine, too.
: I saw "Aladdin" when I was 13, and
: I always viewed Jasmine as the impossibly
: sex symbol whom every single woman in the
: world should have to be like. I hated her
: for being that, because I'd never be able to
: be that perfect; I was also upset because
: Jasmine was able to perfectly control
: Aladdin with sex appeal alone! That red
: slave scene always stuck with me. I felt as
: though society expected me to live up to all
: of that, and that I could never be that
: sexy. I also began to believe that
: darker-complected women were sexier than
: fair-complected women.
:
: I was probably being immature and overly
: sensitive at the time, but my feelings about
: that movie, and about Jasmine's image, have
: always been with me.
:
: Of course, I now realize that Aladdin is
: that perpetual frat boy, who is maddeningly
: persuasive, and yet totally fratolicious, if
: you know what I mean! LOL!
:
: The other Disney character whom I've always
: had a tough time reckoning with is Jane
: Porter. I like her, 'cause she's actually
: an intelligent, sweet gal, who speaks with a
: cool accent, but I've always felt that her
: character represents bedroom-minded, primal
: young women, and that's always upset me. My
: interpretation of a certain
: "Tarzan" song didn't help, either.
:
: I can never seem to disassociate some of
: those perfect, animated Disney heroines from
: the stereotypes that society seems to emit.
:
: Thanks in advance for your replies.
