This is one of those moments (...much like my listening to Bohemian Rhapsody last night and being reminded how beloved and integrated into so many people's musical experience it is, while it's very much "what was being smoked, here?" for me) where my not having grown up with this piece of popular culture leaves me tilting my head to the side and going "...Huh."

Like I've seen several of the Disney princess movies, but only as an adult, and I had to scroll through the comments here to connect them with the elements of power fantasy your commenters are pointing out. (It's also been almost 30 years since I was a preteen, so now I'm trying to think what WERE my power fantasies at the time, and if they shared anything in common with the above. Further hmm.)

Anyway. Hmm.
