Disney Princess Question

Do you think there should be Disney couples where the heroine is older?

Not like a cougar, but there seriously should be. Women need a more dominant role. The time era is no excuse either. Shakespeare married an older woman and Anna Katenina was involved with a younger man. I dont want to hear about society back in the day, Disney can change many things in their films and have modern twists in it (ex. Aladdin)

* Jasmine appears to be older than Aladdin, but aparently he's 18 and Jasmine is "16".
* In Hercules, he's 18. I dont know how old Meg is supposed to be, but she seems a lot older than that.

Personally, I always thought that the couple should be the same age or the female should be younger. I don't know, I just always thought that way. However this is just my personal opinion (and let's face it a silly one at that).
I think having a female a year or two would be cool. I think Meg is probably a year or two older than Hercules. If you want to take the show as canon, it shows Meg in high school age when Hercules is in high school, so Meg isn't much older.

It would definitely be a nice change, and I find it so stereotypical that the guy is always older. You could assume Meg is older, and Esme can be roughly the same age as Phoebus. The time of the society is not an excuse, but I think that it is showing how it is better to be younger, and that the damsel has to be younger than the man, so they can be dependent on them. It is entirely stereotypical.

Agreed. If Disneys newer films are about femàle empowerment, it should also include older women. Jane also looks like shes the same age as Tarzan.

As long as they're in the same stage of life, I'm cool with it. Studies actually show that anyone aged 20-60 can have fulfilling relationships with other 20-60 year olds (really wide range, I know), so I don't see a problem with the woman being older than the man.

No, not really. I think k it'd actually bother me a little if they did do that. I've always believed that the man should be older, even if only by a little (as in my crush is only 2 days older than me lol). Besides, let's face it, men take longer to mature physically and mentally than women, so it makes sense that they're a year or two older.
