Disney Cartoon
Teaches Children Being a Princess Is a ‘State of Mind’
by Daniel Nussbaum 22 Nov 2017
Disney XD cartoon Star vs. The Forces of Evil hopes
to impart what it apparently believes to be an important lesson for
children: boys can be princesses too, if they want to be.
A recent episode of the television series features lead
character Marco Diaz (voiced by Adam McArthur) disguising himself as Princess
Turdina in an effort to save a group of students at a reform school for
princesses from the villainous principal Ms. Heinous. But all does not go
according to plan.
On a recent episode of Star vs. The Forces of Evil,
the character of Marco Diaz (voiced by Adam McArthur) disguised himself as
Princess Turdina to help save the students at St. Olga’s Reform School for
Wayward Princesses from Ms. Heinous, the wicked headmistress.
Marco is about to reveal his truth to the students when
Ms. Heinous storms in and outs him herself, pulling down his shirt to reveal a
strand of chest hair. But the other princesses stand by Marco’s side.
After Marco reveals himself to be a boy, he gets support
from female students at the princess school.
“That doesn’t prove anything! Princesses can be hairy!”
one student exclaims.
“Turdina is a state of mind!” shouts another.
“He can be a princess if he wants to!” says yet another.
After the students lead a rebellion against Ms. Heinous,
forcing her to disappear back through the portal in the sky from which she
came, a robot DJ kicks off a dance party and one of the students goes to snap a
selfie with the “boy princess.”
Star vs. The Forces of Evil — headed by showrunner
Daron Nefcy — broke ground in progressive television in March of this year when
the cartoon featured same-sex couples kissing, marking the first
gay kisses on television for a Disney cartoon.
Watch the clip from the episode “Princess Turdina” above.
