Princess Ana

As you can see from this photo, my step daughter is a massive fan of Princess Ana from the hit movei Frozen. If you haven't already sat down with your little ones and watched the movie Frozen, I highly recommend it. Actually, even if you have no little ones, no free time, hate Disney movies, and are a middle aged man, I still recommend you find time to watch this movie. While I am not an avid movie critic, I am here to give you reasons why this one of a kind Disney movie is a must see:

1. First off, this movie is the highest grossing original animated film in history. That statistic in itself is a big enough reason to ask yourself "why not?"
2. You can become one of the massive group of viewers who have already partaken in the experience that is Frozen for less than $30 at your local Walmart
3. The Oscar winning song "Let it Go" is catchy even to the adult ears and it will have you singing along and replaying it in your head for weeks.
4. ( #spolieralert )For the fist time in Disney history, this movie shows the young girls around the world a different form of true love, one that doesn't involve the boy of their dreams but rather that of love for family. 
5. This movie is a depiction of the real strength behind a women and helps show us that we can be strong all on our own two feet. For example, who would have thought that in a Disney movie of all things, a girl would be punching the guy who broke her heart instead of crying over him?
6. And last but not least, the characters in this film will have you laughing for the entire length of the movie. They say laughing is good for the soul; along with that, a heart warming story line, and the life lessons it can teach our daughters, this film is, in my opinion of course, one of the best Disney has created in a long time.

As a parent of a young girl, I am always looking for ways to teach her the fundamentals of growing up strong, and independent. I want her to have confidence in herself and her abilities so when she is someday, in the same shoes I hold, balancing a checkbook, mortgage, child care, and a 40 hour work week, she will know she can do it. This movie may only be a small step in the right direction but it does make me a proud Disney supporter to see them creating something that is against the norm and has a women creating her own fairy tale ending.
