dolorosa_12Day 16: Your favorite Disney princess movie.
When I was a child, my favourite Disney princess films were The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. I think this is because I had aspirations to be both Ariel and Aladdin. (I spent a long time during my childhood pretending to be both of them. My sister pretended to be Flounder and Jasmine because she's cool like that.) I also think they had the best music of that era of Disney films.
I was in no way a child when Mulan came out, and encountered it through the younger daughter of a family friend, who was obsessed. After watching it, I understood why. Mulan is without a doubt my favourite Disney heroine, and can be described as feminist with much more justification than Belle in Beauty and the Beast. (I hated that film when I saw it as a child, and I hate it now. I realise that's the sort of admission that sees you shunned from certain corners of the internet, and I don't care.) I realise that judging Disney films on the basis of their feminist credentials will only end in tears, but in the end, I have to take the one that has the least damaging message as my favourite.

I'm back in Germany for another semester, and have blogged about my initial impressions of returning to Heidelberg here.
