She does; that bothered me, too. I love that they got the originals for these guys in a lot of cases (I'm... pretty sure that Maleficent is the Maleficent), but she's around seventy now, or close. She's not meant to be a little girl (or two), now.
I was always partial to Cinderella - of the "old" princesses, she exhibited the most in the way of an individual personality. Sleeping Beauty is an absolutely beautiful movie, but Aurora gets cursed, grows up, sings, falls in love, goes home, goes to sleep, and gets kissed. But now, ironically, I can't watch Cinderella without a dislike for her because of Ever After and Drew Barrymore's character. So now I don't like Disney Cinderella >.> Belle and Jasmine are my favorite princesses overall, though, of any era.
(Bland and wrong. Hercules is even more stylistic than Emperor's New Groove, and that's hard to do. It's so extreme in just about everything - story alteration and anachronisms jumping out at me immediately - that the old-style animation would suck the life out of it. Same reason they went for the "gospel revival" type of music instead of the traditional Disney feel. And Philip has a place in my heart - but remember, the two in the other movies really only did show up towards the end. The first main male character I can remember in a Disney movie is Peter Pan, followed by Mowgli about a decade and a half later. Most Disney movies in the old days had females as the main characters; after TLM, it's been a pretty even split, maybe leaning more towards the male. Don't know what that says, just some observations.)
