    Kristen Bell has slammed critics who hit out at her for warning her daughters against some of the themes in ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’

    The 'Frozen' star - who voiced Princess Anna of Arendelle in the Disney movie - reads the fairytale to her two girls, Lincoln, five, and Delta, three, often, and recently revealed she makes sure to warn them not to follow in Snow White’s footsteps and accept food from strangers, or let people kiss them when they’re sleeping


    After her comments surfaced, several people took to Twitter to slam her for blaming Disney for “people not understanding consent”, and in response, the 38-year-old beauty said she was simply trying to teach her brood - whom she has with husband Dax Shepard - about “critical thinking and respectful behaviour”.

    When one Twitter user said: “Is it really that serious… it’s a animated kids movie. Not everything needs a message and has to teach you how to raise your children. It’s enjoyment sheesh (sic)”

    Kristen replied: “actually, everything IS a message to our children, because they are sponges that soak up everything and are learning how to be adults through what they see. I want my girls to see and practice critical thinking and respectful behaviour (sic).”

    The blonde beauty had originally claimed that she always tells her daughters about the dangers of some of the topics highlighted in the fairytale.

    She said: "Every time we close 'Snow White', I look at my girls and ask, 'Don't you think it's weird that Snow White didn't ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?'.

    "I say, 'I would never take food from a stranger, would you?' And my kids are like, 'No!' And I'm like, 'Ok, I'm doing something right'.

    "Don't you think that it's weird that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? Because you can not kiss someone if they're sleeping!"
