Had forgotten those books. So was I and loved the stories - still have my old Brer Rabbit book in the loft and will have to add it to ‘bedtime story’ list My mother also has a copy reprinted in 2010 and that has been ’corrected’ and has ruined the original in my opinion but definitely suitable for the ‘woke’ brigade.

All I remember about Brer Rabbit is one of the naughty creatures ran around and around the tree until he melted into butter. I asked if this could really happen and was told yes. How times change.

I guess they don't have an issue with stepmothers trying to poison their step-daughters then?

Or young women going off to live with 7 older men?

Underage young women, even worse.

Absolutely ridiculous article, leave our fairy tales alone
Not with Covid- I work for the NHS (although not front line) and the official line is no mouth to mouth resus

It's like ya women. Actress in pirates of the carribean... Forgotten her name..says it all ... Disney Princess stories

Keira Knightley says she has banned her three-year-old daughter from watching Disney films whose portrayal of women she disagrees with.

Edie Knightley Righton is not allowed to watch Cinderella or Little Mermaid.

Knightley told Ellen DeGeneres that 1950's Cinderella "waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don't! Rescue yourself. Obviously!"

She said of Little Mermaid: "I mean, the songs are great, but do not give your voice up for a man. Hello!"

Says the actress who made a fortune from heaving breasts.. obviously her daughter won't be watching pride and prejudice where they're all after men lol

Good point. Isn't she supposed to be a 14 year old child or something?

She's abandoned in the woods, after an initial attempt to murder her, lives with seven old miners that she cleans for, is poisoned and by the end of the film goes off to marry the Prince, even though she's underage. But it's the small kiss that we're supposed to be concerned about?

Meanwhile, Aurora would be stuck asleep forever if no one was allowed to kiss her.

Do you think she will allow her daughter to watch them before she's 18?
