Disney's Cinderella (and generally the Disney Princesses overall) have gotten a lot of hate for giving girls a bad role model. But do the stories really deserve this level of hate? Dismissing Cinderella blames a victim of abuse for her situation and devalues stereotypically feminine traits like kindness, optimism and resourceful imagination.

Message from Vijay:
Yes — this is our second animatic for this song! We’ve recently started working with Sidney, an amazing animatic artist, whose work brings so much more movement and color to our animatic projects. As we gear up for bigger and bigger stories (like the Disney Villains one, yes it’s still in the works), we thought this would be a great chance to get in another “practice run” together. I’m so grateful for her talent, and so excited with how this turned out. Hope you enjoy!

LYRICS:
I've got to admit
Lately,
I'm feeling,
I'm not the right fit

Do I still have what it takes -- to stay --
A princess with you?
Has the world changed too much --
Since I put on that shoe?

They say I gave away
My life for a man
As if getting on land
Wasn’t always the plan
They criticize me
Despise me
Because they can
But it was my choice-- that’s what they don’t understand.

So your happy ending ended in a marriage
That seems to be the part that always sticks

Didn't protest
Didn't fight
Just rode my carriage in the night!
But there’s one thing that they forget

There’s so many ways to be a princess
There’s so many manners to inspire
There’s so many ways to be heroic ‘n brave
Your courage and kindness– I admire

Some say that I’m an idol
Because I fought and went to war just like a man
Whether brawny or bridal
My heart defines me for who I am

There’s so many ways to be a princess
So many happy endings of our own
We care to share our stories
So others out there won’t feel alone

As for me, priorities are my sister and my throne
And the only men that matter are the ones I’ve made from snow

I work toward my goals each and every day
Still, how could I not notice when a hot prince hopped my way?

Just like you, most of my life I was locked inside
No one can say we aren't strong
Cinderella-- we survived.

There’s so many ways to be a princess
And so many battles to fight
There’s so many ways to inspire change
We make different choices, and that’s alright!

Some princesses are known for being good and kind
Others for fighting against the tide
Some fall in love, leave what they knew behind
I don’t need a man, by my side

There’s so many ways to be a princess
There are so many morals to imbue
There are so many stories to be told
Just so long as they all feel true to you.
