As a father of a wonderful 5 year old daughter who over the past 40 some years has walked the earth under some amazing circumstances, I would like to comment that this is the only "Disney Princess" movie I have allowed my daughter to watch. This is significant because I have made a point to keep the amount and depth of real experiences I expose my daughter to high and entertainment media low. That is to say that she does a lot of sports, exploring, learning, and playing while doing very little watching of movies and TV. I found every other "Disney Princess" movie filled with terrible examples I did not want my little girl exposed to yet and could not find any such issues with Brave. The fact that I have had a long conversation with her to answer the best question she could have possibly asked me about a princess moview means that I think I picked the right one to influence her; "Papa, why is she wearing a gown while shooting arrows and riding?". I know that there are likely few fathers readding much less posting to this wiki but if there are then for the sake of your daughters please don't treat them like princeses, treat them like exploring adventurours kids, wich is what they are. If they happen to be actual princeses, the advice still stands.
