Within 24 hours of actress Keira Knightley announcing her ban on the films "Cinderella" and "The Little Mermaid" for her three-year-old daughter for sending false messages on female empowerment, "Frozen" actress Kristen Bell blasted "Snow White" for teaching girls false messages about consent and talking to strangers.
Speaking with Parents, Bell expressed how she loves reading to her daughters and discussing the stories every time they put the book down. In the case of "Snow White," Bell used that to teach the girls a lesson about consent and talking to strangers.
Bell explained, "Every time we close Snow White I look at my girls and ask, 'Don't you think it's weird that Snow White didn't ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?' I say, 'I would never take food from a stranger, would you?' And my kids are like, 'No!' And I'm like, 'Okay, I'm doing something right.'"
