Disney Princesses turned Gore

Ever since I was a young girl, I loved Disney. When I was seven years old, I went out in public for three days in a row in my pink Sleeping Beauty costume, unashamed, just happy, pretending to be a princess in everyday suburban life. However, when I entered that period of time where we start to care excessively about what we look like, almost to a fault, I realized I didn't relate to or resonate with the Disney Princesses prior to Mulan's release in 1989.
