Disney’s princess stories are famous around the world. You must know some of them, like Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.
All princesses are very beautiful. Princes fall in love with them at first sight (视线). At last, the princess and prince will have a happy life together.
However, princesses often cannot take care of themselves. They need help from others. This is the old picture of Disney’s princesses.
Not long ago, Disney made 10 new rules. To be a princess, you must follow these rules. Surprisingly, no rule talks about having a “pretty face”. The rules are all about good characters like honesty (诚实), loyalty (忠诚) and never giving up.
Princesses need to grow up (成长). When they meet problems, they need to take care of themselves. They need to find ways to get away from dangerous (危险的) people.
For example (例如), Elsa and Anna fight against (对抗) the bad prince in Frozen. They need to trust in themselves and their friends. Raya shows her courage (勇气) to fight in the army. “A pretty face” cannot help them. But a strong character can. In the real world, these are the rules you need to follow.
