Keira Knightley Says She Doesn’t Let Her Daughter Watch Most Disney Princesses

– Keira Knightley spoke at the premiere of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms about how she won’t allow her daughter to watch most Disney princesses. You can see highlights from her comments below per The Independent:

On which Disney animated films she likes: “I love Frozen, I am 100 percent Team Frozen and Team Moana,” she told the Press Association during the premiere of her new film. “Moana is big in our house, Inside Out is big in our house, I just wonder what Elsa (from Frozen) would say to Ariel (from The Little Mermaid) and Cinderella because Elsa has some serious opinions about Anna (her sister in Frozen) going off with a guy that she’s only just met and saying she would marry him. She is like, ‘Absolutely that is not OK,’ and in fact everyone in ‘Frozen is not OK with that.”

On the plot of The Little Mermaid: “What would Elsa say to Ariel, who gives up her voice for a man? A man, by the way, she has only seen dance round a ship and then drown! And it’s 100% amazing of Ariel to save the guy, I’m totally up for that, but what would Elsa make of that? I think Elsa would be like: ‘Babe, you’ve got to get to know him better, don’t give up your voice yet.’”

On if she’ll let her daughter see Nutcracker and the Four Realms: “She is three and she might be a bit frightened of all of this. I was when I was three, because I was three when I first saw the ballet and I hid under my seat so I think I might wait a couple of years until she’s a bit older. But then maybe other people have three-year-olds who would be completely fine with it and maybe it’s just mine who would be frightened.”
