Very demeaning to females
As a woman and mother of daughters, I hated how weak and helpless they made the women. I'm trying to realize it was just how things were back when it was made, and there are many movies with strong women and girls available today.
But my memories of watching this as a child were so cherished, then I watched it a few days ago as a 50+ yr old woman, and I just had to cringe over and over.
And those sons are going to grow up believing all women are like that.
Weren't there ANY woman helping make this movie who'd have spoken up and said 'Wait, let's give the female characters a few positive traits.'?
