I don't think absolutely all of them would care in general about it or agree with things some feminists do. Belle, Poca, and Rapunzel might be, though. Jasmine definitely. *Some* feminists are very nasty about women like the Classics (sometimes Ariel and Anna too, being naive and wanting a man so much) and I don't think they would want to support anyone who sees them as stupid doormats who are helpless without men.

The modern DPs (from Ariel onward) definitely have characteristics that are more feminist-friendly. The Classics are good role models because they are kind, patient, and caring but today we expect more out of our female leads.

Some of the more modern DPs express feminist ideals, others don't. Many of them do so within in their movies, but not enough from the ads or merchandise.

I feel the Official Disney Princess Lineup as a concept is not very feminist though, because it mostly just pushes outward beauty, sparkles, dresses, and romance with the princes to sell merchandise to young girls.

For example, Belle LOVES to read, is always seen with a book, rejects being told to read less so she can focus on her husband more, and longs for travel and adventure. Yet, how much Belle merchandise have you seen that emphasizes her love of books? Not much. Most of her merchandise focuses only on her golden ball gown, the enchanted rose, and her romance with the Beast. Which aspect of Belle's character do you get the feeling the Disney Company wants girls to walk away from? "I wanna be like Belle and read lots of books!" or "I wanna be like Belle and wear a pretty dress and fall in love!"

That's my view though. Sorry to offend those who like the Disney princesses. I just feel it's a mixed bag.
