SHE HAS GADGETS AND GIZMOS A'PLENTY; SHE HAS WHOSITS AND WHATSITS GALORE: So, as part of our pre-Hanukkah planning, we're trying to figure out what should be the second full-length Disney animated film we purchase for Lucy. She has already seen and loves The Little Mermaid, and she's familiar with all of the canonical Disney Princesses through the sing-a-long DVDs and, quite frankly, I think that it's imprinted in girls' DNA at this point.

What we'd prefer is something that's heavier on the female empowerment than it is on the need to be rescued or the "only finding a prince to love me will save me", and with a minimum of unnecessary peril. I'm thinking that Mulan or Beauty and the Beast might be the best way to go. Thoughts? Comments?
