Knightley bans Disney movies
Keira Knightley has banned her daughter from watching certain Disney movies because she doesn’t like how the princesses are portrayed. The Pirates of the Caribbean star tells talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres she doesn’t let her three-yearold daughter Edie watch specific Disney movies because they don’t send the right message to girls. She has banned the 1950 movie Cinderella “because she waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don’t! Rescue yourself, obviously.” And The Little Mermaid is banned, too. “I mean, the songs are great, but do not give your voice up for a man. Hello! But the problem with The Little Mermaid is I love The Little Mermaid. That one’s a little tricky — but I’m keeping to it.”
