I've never been a fan of Disney, and have watched very few of the films. Circumstances forced me into sitting through one of the princess-y films on a recent Brownie pack holiday, and yuck :( No, I'm really not a fan.
As a child, I was a HUGE fan of Disney, but even then was always bothered by the fact that none of the characters looked like me.
For a folklore class at uni, though, I had to watch the Princess-y flicks ad nauseum. That was about ten shades of excruciating brain pain. Needless to say, that got rid of any lingering love for damsels in distress.
I must say, though, that it's fun to search for the hidden symbolisms in the movies...But that's just the dork in me talking ;oP
