For the record, only Snow White and Aurora actually were only "pretty faces." The rest of them actually did get some action down. For example, while Cinderella wasn't necessarily active, she did attempt to go to the ball, and in Twist in Time, she actually fought off Lady Tremaine and her forces. Ariel managed to fight off sharks and save Atlantica more than a few times in her TV series, well before meeting Eric I should point out, and after knowing his existence saved her love interest twice, three times if we count the incident with Vanessa. Belle... you've got to be kidding me, she's merely a pretty face? Yeah, she did require saving from Beast once, twice if we count Enchanted Christmas, but she did break the spell, and actually volunteered to be held prisoner in place of her father. And Jasmine did a lot of badass stuff in the TV series, and she wasn't exactly a slouch in the original movie or even the sequels, either. Pocahontas saved her love interest from her dad and made peace with the tribes. Mulan actually saved China, twice. Also, Tiana saved herself and her love interest and even stopped Facilier dead in his tracks. And Rapunzel was pretty determined to get to the floating lights and actually stood up to Mother Gothel as well. Maybe the current Disney Princess franchise focuses somewhat on glamour more than active roles, but their individual roles in the films were definitely not simply glamour based. Heck, even Snow White at least got some action of, you know, heading into a dark and dangerous forest just to escape an assassination attempt on her by her own stepmother, so really, it's only Aurora who was pure glamour. And let's face it, she kinda has a good alibi for that since she was put into a coma halfway through her film.

And BTW, people like Phyllis Schlafly pointed out that girls are naturally inclined to seek a prince charming, and she's not merely a homemaker, but a lawyer who is married and a devoted mother.
