Trying to think of a single Disney princess who either a) has a mentor-Queen or b) isn't expected to marry and/or be pretty for power.

@fozmeadows Not a princess & not Disney classic/animated but there is Elizabeth Swann in PotC (ultimately King of the Brethren Court).1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MollyAnneChurch True, but the 1st film still starts with her trying to avoid an arranged marriage.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@fozmeadows but she does avoid it and her ultimate political success isn't dependent on her romantic plot line; (1/2)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MollyAnneChurch True; but it's telling that this is still always an issue that such stories feel the need to incorporate.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@fozmeadows May be nativity on my part but am inclined (in this case) to put that down to the era the film is set in & public view of same.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MollyAnneChurch I get that; I just wish we could have more stories beyond it. Cutthroat Island was always my fave pirate film as a kid.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@fozmeadows I take your point (I'm kind of working on one, actually). Re: Cutthroat Island, I shall have to look it up.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MollyAnneChurch It's massively underrated - it flopped at the time basically because people didn't buy a female pirate as lead.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@fozmeadows Definitely have to look it up. So sad to think that that's probably still true today.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@MollyAnneChurch Please do! It's really a fun film, and Geena Davis did all her own stunts :)
