Kristen Bell uses 'Snow White' to teach consent to her daughters

As a Disney princess of the "Frozen" variety, Kristen Bell is well aware of the impact storytelling can have on children.

That's why she took extra steps to sit down with her own kids and discuss the implications of classic Disney tales that have not aged so well.

In a new interview, the star of "Veronica Mars" talked about the conversations she had with her two daughters, Lincoln, 5, and Delta, 3, during the reading time, which she calls "Really my favorite part of the day."

Although some parents do not seem to believe that Bell totally bans stories like "Snow White" or "The Little Mermaid", she has developed some habits to communicate with her daughters on sensitive topics.

"Every time we close White as snow I look at my daughters and ask them, "Do not you think it's strange that Snow White did not ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Where did she get this apple? Bell explained at the point of sale. "I say," I would never take food from a stranger, is not it? "

"And my children are like" No! "And I'm like," Ok, I'm doing something right, "she added.

Bell, who works on her own children's book, also notes that the fairy tale contains disturbing messages about consent.

"Do not you think it's strange that the prince is kissing Snow White without his permission?" Bell said that she had asked her daughters. "Because you can not kiss someone while he's sleeping!"

Bell's comments appear to have elicited negative reactions that she described as boring and misplaced. In response to a follower who came to defend the actress, Bell explained that she simply pleaded for her daughters to "have a critical mind."

The actress "Good Place" is not the only one in Hollywood to have reservations about Disney movies. Actress Keira Knightley recently revealed that she would not let her daughter watch "Cinderella".

"She's waiting for a rich guy to save her," Knightley said. "Do not do it! Save yourselves. Obviously! "

Bell will however be delighted to learn that "Frozen" is "huge" in the family of the British star, as well as recent Disney movies such as "Moana" and "Finding Dory".
