ANOTHER Disney princess?

Response to this article

I understand Disney's intentions but really?  Does a female have to be royalty in order to be taken seriously and given her own movie and TV show?  I understand the need to teach kids good morals and the fun tie-ins with the adult Disney princesses dropping in for animated cameos, I get it.  I get that it's the first time a kid is a princess and the audience will get to see her grow up in royalty.  Can't we just have a fun, adventerous, sweet-type girl kid who isn't a habitual ball gown wearer?

And in the back of my mind, after this first knee-jerk reaction, I thought back to this clip from 30 Rock.

Well done Disney.  This movie and TV series will affirm to little white girls that they really are pretty.
