Have you ever wondered why all the evil and diabolical baddies in cartoons are ladies? I mean like look at Cinderalla; her evil stepmother. In Rapunzel, that old lady who imprisoned her in the tall tall tower. In Shrek, that prince's mother who was pretending to be the 'fairy godmother'. In Snow White, that witch who had the poisonous apple.
Are women such suitable candidates to play as evildoers?
I say, perhaps. And I begin this post like so because I've just watched "Happy Never After" whereby all the bad guys take over the folktales; but it has a happy ending anyways *spoiler ahead*: The story is mainly revolving around Cinderella. Whereby the hero is not the usual Prince Charming (Prince Charming is depicted as a hopeless childish perasan-ist in this movie) but actually the prince's shoe polisher: Rick. And Rick is in love with Ella (CinderELLA) and basically, the evil stepmother finds this staff to control how Endings of all Fairytales can work out. So she decrees that all bad guys (like the Wolf in Three little pigs; and the other wolf in Little Red Riding Hood, and the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk and lots lots more) to kill Cinderella. in the END, rick and ella get married and their wedding was paid by the Prince Charming. Pretty cool.
But anyways, today is Women's Day and in a totally unrelated way to my paragraphs up there, Happy Women's Day:)
