The article, Too few Animated Women Break The Disney Mold by Susan Riley, is completely right on how animated films and cartoons portray women.
They portray them as being beautiful ( and sometimes brainless) women that need to to rescued, and there are not very many that break that mold.
Even in the movies like The Little Mermaid and Pocahantus where the princesses doesn't need to be saved physically but they need someone to save them emotionally. The need some prince to take them away from their life.
They have yet to tell the story of a women who concurred their foe's completely by herself. These animation companies are almost saying that women are incapable of doing anything by themselves.
Any conclusion that could be made from this is that animation companies need to get their act together and start portraying women in a more normal way.
