It is most little girl's dream to be a princess, meet prince charming and live happily ever after.

However, Disney's fairy tales can be deluding and give non-positive moral values to children. It can put a child under a lot of pressure to be the perfect little girl in order to live up to her idol princesses.

Fairy tales in their classic form, are mostly gruesome and do not really have happy endings. Disney recasts the fairy tales and adds fluff to make it palatable for children and modern audiences.
