Seriously, if Ms. Bloom wanted to critique the Disney princess a little basic research into the time periods the princesses are purported to come from might have been helpful.

Also, I know animation exaggerates things, but ten-year-olds aren’t that small.

It seemed problematic to me. I get that it was a parody video, but I am really not sure what that specific part was intended to parody.
