“I wasn't into fairytales when I was little. I was of the generation of the earlier Disney films where many of the female characters, with the exception of the Maleficent's, were not little girls that I admired... the little princesses. They weren't characters that I identified with. I think that's very different now for my girls and more recent films.” ThinkingLittlesDifferentCharacterFilmGirlGenerationsFemaleExceptionPrincessFairytaleFemale CharactersMy GirlLittle PrincessMaleficentDisney Film Author:Angelina Jolie
“I'm not sure if it's fair to call it a "fairy tale," but I really loved Mulan, the Disney film. It was my favorite. I guess it's not really a fairy tale, but you do get Eddie Murphy as a dragon.” IfsFilmFairsMy FavoriteTalesNot SureFairyDragonsFairy TaleMurphyDisney Film Author:Lily Cole
“I grew up with 'Cinderella.' So that was my go-to Disney film, definitely. It was princess-related, and coming from a smaller area in Illinois and wanting to do something greater than myself in Broadway, that was a film that I could really relate to.” FilmGreaterGrewGrew UpAreasRelateRelatedPrincessBroadwayIllinoisDisney Film Author:Jodi Benson
