Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Lots of songs discuss "princes" and men who come in to save the princess singers/characters from being lonely.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Lots of talk about love and romantic themes ("I dreamed we'd be together, in love forever"), but no sexual references.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Each song is from a Disney movie. Many of the singers are also part of other Disney productions. The Disney Princess brand is heavily promoted to young girls.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Princess Disneymania

Parents need to know that the age-appropriate songs on this CD are updated versions of old Disney movie favorites, sung by some of the most buzz-worthy performers (if you're a tween girl, that is) on today's pop scene, including Demi Lovato and Ashley Tisdale. Some of the songs' messages reinforce traditional gender roles, with the lyrics referencing princes/men coming to save the female singers/princess from loneliness, etc. The Disney Princess brand is a marketing behemoth, with tons of tie-in products.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the message that the Disney Princesses send. What positive characteristics can you find in popular figures like Cinderella and Ariel? Do these characters reinforce "waiting for a prince to come" stereotypes? Why is that attitude problematic? Also, how are men portrayed in these songs? Do you think they present an unrealistic expectation of how men should act?
