EVERYONE is WRONG about Disney's Princess Problem - it's not an Adorkable or 'Quirky Heroine' problem at all! And for Calxiyn Cares Too Much, KPop Demon Hunters was the key to figuring out what the actual problem with Disney's new princesses really is. We will reveal what the REAL problem is with Disney's Heroines, and how this ruins not just the characters, but the movies in three huge ways. What makes Rumi so different compared to Asha, Moana, Anna, and even Elsa and Tiana? Let's unpack all of that in this Disney video essay!

Princess Problems from the new live-action Snow White is now my most hated Disney song - shallow, vapid, and bordering on cruel, Disney will pat themselves on the back for making a Princess who doesnt dream of true love and wont be saved by the man, but in the same movie, create a male love interest who takes huge steps backwards compared to the 1930s animated prince. This Video Essay will break down the problems with Jonathans characterization from multiple angles (promise/progress/payoff, likeability/competence/initiative) and explain the problem with Disneys Leading Men beyond just this movie.

00:51 - Why Songwriting Fundamentals Are WASTED Here (Composition & Instrumentation)
04:21 - How Jonathan Wastes Our Time (Storytelling/Lyric Issues)
09:00 - Why Jonathan Is So Easy To Hate (Storytelling/Lyric Issues)
12:13 - Snow White Wont Be Saved By The Prince But Her Abuse Will Be Minimized By This Chronic Mansplainer
