This is a kind and gentle op/ed piece in the form of a letter to Pixar. The author loves Disney and Pixar and is not doing any kind of Disney-bashing. She is simply voicing the silent pleas and thoughts of so many American moms and women - Please give us a girl hero who our daughters can identify with; one they can see as one of themselves. Princesses are lovely and Disney princess are quite plucky. But most of us, and hence our little girls, are not royals or even aristrocrats. We go to school and work. We muck about in the mud, climb trees and sit down to tea parties. We lift weights, work out and we even sweat. So, Pixar and Disney, please, please, please consider your demographic and give us a girl lead character who never dons a tiara or even an evening gown.
