Disneyland’s new Snow White ride slammed for prince’s ‘non-consensual’ kiss
Disneyland’s renovated Snow White ride has sparked a backlash for featuring a ‘problematic’ true love’s kiss.
The overhaul of the ride at the theme park in Anaheim, California, was revealed to the public last week after being closed during the pandemic for more than a year.
The ride now ends with the prince kissing Snow White while she is asleep, breaking the Queen’s curse that put her in a trance. Critics claim the cartoon character was being kissed against her will and have likened it to a sexual assault.
But is Disney responsible for teaching our children about consent or is this giving children the wrong message?
