Finally a girl who saves herself, about time Disney.

Moana is a turn for Disney films, for the first time in a long time I sat there watching and didn’t feel like I was watching a Disney movie. Moana was very authentic and true to the culture it was portraying. Of course, as Disney has begun to do they had one liners making fun of some of their other films but one thing there wasn’t was romance. The aspect of there being no romance is, honestly, one of the big reasons I love it so much. I hate how Disney is telling children a man must protect the woman. I believe a big reason why when girls get older they tend to love so quickly is because of the movies we grew up on.

Not only do girls tend to love so quickly but we have these high expectations and feel we must rely on men to save us. We grow up on all these movies, stories, of men so brave and strong rescuing the girl from evil. We see what the movies say how a guy must be the one to save you from your problems and you can’t do it yourself. When in reality you will never find, a man like in the movies because they are a character, not real. Sorry if this is ruining your childhood but Prince Charming isn’t real, he’s not just going to come in and save you from your fears. Moana was so amazing because Disney finally got it right, women don’t need a man to save them, they can do it perfectly fine on their own.
