Girl Power falls flat with "Brave"

What a bummer this movie turned out to be...in lieu of amazing Disney classics these last few years (Toy Story 3 & Tangled), Brave missed so many things that makes Disney great: singing, love story, adorable and creative sidekick characters, etc.  Yes, this was the first attempt in a Disney Princess movie to show the bond between a mother and Daughter...look at the list below:

Princess Rapunzel: Mean fake mother
Princess Jasmine: No mother
Princess Snow White: Mean stepmother
Princess Aurora: Nonexistant mother
Princess Ariel: No mother
Princess Tiana: Bond was with father although mother was around
Princess Mulan: Again, bond with father and mother was a sidenote
Princess Pocahontas: No mother
Princess Cinderellla: Mean stepmother
Princess Belle: No mother

However, it fell flat.  The girl power was there with this "standing up for what you believe in" attitude, but disrespecting mother to get it done...I don't know, sounds alot like today's world.
