We have established a parenting rule:

All exposure to Disney princesses must be balanced with equal exposure to Xena: Warrior Princess.

As the father of a five-year-old girl, allow me to say: Good luck with that.

I don't know what age your little one(s) is(are), but Kiki's Delivery Service was one movie we felt was an adequate antidote to Disney and, in fact, was much preferred. Xena was another big hit with my daughter until she was about six or seven, then it was Buffy. A lot of by Hayao Miyazaki has gone over well, really. Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Princess Mononoke have all been popular here at various ages, but Kiki is really quite acceptable for a brave youngster.

As has been said -- good luck. :)

Ditto.

I really, really like this rule.

You should make sure to build up a significant balance in the Xena direction in case of non-parentally-controlled exposure.

Boy, are you ever a meanie!

(and I pray for your soul once the Frog Princess comes out)

I was going to make a snarky comment about only exposing your child to women with ridiculously large breasts.

Then I recalled who the mother would be.

The are -n.

Ahh, but Lucy Lawless is merely enhanced by a breastplate (as Kevin Sorbo once rather bitchily informed the general public). She's perfectly reasonably breasted in other outfits.

This practically made me spit cereal on my keyboard.
Funny because it is so very awesome - and so very necessary.

I will hold off for a while before introducing BSG.

Hee -- well, sometimes even Xena takes off the brass chest-thingie and goes around in disguise.

[neurosophy.livejournal.com]

I approve.

Really? I'm all for the counteraction but I'd hold that Xena is like using household cleaners instead of just admitting you do crack. (Granted, I love the show in my silly ways) Yes, she's tough, smart, independent, and often kicks some male, female, demigod etc. ass. These are positive points. The whole fighting crime in her usual tiny bust-popping wardrobe isn't much better than Pamela Anderson fighting crime in high heels, though IMO. I haven't watched the show recently enough to accurately reference some other points but I'm sure I'll rant them to you at next game night ;)
