Disney Vs. Romantic Comedy

Are disney movies romantic comedies?  Prince meets girl, Prince loses
girl, Prince finds girl in dangerous situation, prince gets girl back.

Disney’s princess tales are quite possibly one of the biggest influences
on todays society through our childhood experiences.  Through subliminal
messages in the story structure, we are influenced as to what is the
norm, and what isn’t.
 Allow me to explain,
--The simple structure of the princess tales is a woman who is searching
for something because she is not complete on her own. 
--As beautiful, charming, (well we shall get in to all that later), but
as much as she is, she is not complete. 
--Somehow she is also in danger on her own as well. 
--She needs to enlist the help of forest creatures, fairies, dwarves.,
fish, etc
--The villains are mainly women.  Intelligent women.
--Princesses - generally naïve,  compassionate, never really smart,
--Aladdin however, is under the ruse that it is different, but in
reality it is not.

REALISM  is male
FANTASY  is female

Even if we just look at the princesses portrayed.  They are generally
helpless on their own and rely on thier innocence and naive beauty and
kindness to get them anywhere.  They get into trouble when they become
to curious and ask to many questions.  They always end up in some
compramising situation where the male must save them.  They fall head
over heals in love with the first real man they meet, which ultimately
saves them.  They are all the prettiest women in the kingdom and are
idolized for that.

Even the supposed exception of Aladdin, really is just the same.  It is
about a girl that isnt happy with her perfect life.  Attempts to screw
it up, but is saved by someone who knows better and goes back to her
perfect life and finally settles down her rebellious nature.
