Kristen Bell is not okay with the message that Snow White is sending to her children. In this atmosphere of #MeToo movement gaining ground, it was just a matter of time that Disney princesses would be dragged in as well. In this case, Frozen's Anna has quite a few disagreements with Disney's story about Snow White.

The 38-year-old is a mother to two daughters three and a half-year-old Delta and five and half-year-old Lincoln. As reported by Parents magazine, she spoke about her concern regarding some of the plot points of Snow White and shared how she reads to her daughters every night. "It’s truly my favorite part of the day," she shared before adding that she makes time to discuss the book afterward.

Bell, 38, said that she read bedtime stories to her daughters, Lincoln, five, and Delta, three, every night but had a conversation with them about the plot of Snow White. "Every time we close Snow White I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s weird that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?" The actress said, sharing that the discussion is meant to encourage her children to think about consent and what is appropriate behavior.
