Pixar and Females

What movies from your childhood have stuck with you? Who did you admire or emulate? Are there female heroes for girls to emulate? Why are most women secondary characters? Why does that matter to you?

The movies from my childhood are of course the Disney movies.. Not so much the new fangled Disney crap but the old school Movies walt Disney himself worked on. my favorites are like Alice in wonderland sleeping beauty and Aladdin ! i love you those movies and can probably quote so many scenes from them! yes i know the sexual undertones in most of the them but i was a kid and didn't notice now i do and giggle. but the Disney movies are by far the greatest kids movies...I will keep them as best i can and show my own kids the same ones. They wont be subjected to the Hannah Montana and new school Disney. I don't want that for them i want innocence .

yeah there are female heroes but most are princesses. That does get annoying. . Even Alice in Alice in wonderland is actually a princess it specifies that in the beginning..I never wanted to be a princess when i was younger and never really gave it a second thought..but now..What the EFF?? totally not fair.. I do think pixar has had some great movies and it would be nice to see a female not a princess be the main character but it wouldn't hurt my feelings none either if they didn't do a movie like that.
