because the characters aren't wrapped up in gender norms for the most part Ooh, definitely. Just like Ellie in Up was the loud, cheerful, boisterous one, or Helen/Mrs Incredible isn't afraid to kick some butt. The next Pixar movie that isn't a sequel is coming out around 2013, I think, and that's got a female protagonist, which I'm so psyched for. Even the less-major characters we've seen so far are strong and smart and they've convinced me that a girl lead would be absolutely awesome.
Disney needs to have more faith in the female lead and appealing to boys. It does make sense in an infuriating way, though - I can't think of any female-centric movies (not even kids movies) that appeal to both genders well.
