Disney Princess Question

Flora, Fauna and MaryWeather not being able to cook, sew and clean.

Apparently, "this struck a blow for feminism, prooving not all women can cook, sew and clean." -Grace from beyond the trailer Top ten DP countdown (2010) after doing a bit of research I found out Walt Disney created the character from 3 women at local super-market. Disney made them what was consider "old fuddy-duddy women who are basically useless." (According to a biased article) SnowWhite was hailed as the ultimate housewife she cooks and clean for the dwarves out of heart as if it's fun for her. Cinderella another classic princess cleans, cooks and sews. Aurora is seen doing a little cleaning (ultimately had to doing all the cooking, sewing and cleaning for these 3 dears) why do you think Walt Disney made the 3 fairies "unfitting for the time period" and "not what women are supposed to do." And how do you feel about it? Do you think that it's pro-feminist or anti-feminist. Do you find it "Mary-sue like" for all the classic to be "the perfect woman for the time"? This may seem like a weird and confusing question but please try your best to answer.

Well, they are fairies, so they aren't supposed to know housework. These are menial chores and they solve their problems using magic. But I'm pretty sure Flora cleans, Fauna sews and Merryweather cooks. I don't have a problem with Walt's princesses being the ideal women for that time because they're supposed to appeal to the audiences. Plus, still today the princesses are the ideal women for the large masses: Tiana is ambitious, career-oriented and works hard, while Merida objects sexist tradition and is though, etc.
