 An all-girls school in Kentucky has a new ad campaign that adds to a growing anti-Disney movement.

Other slogans include "Mirror, mirror on the wall. Be more than just the fairest of them all," and "Don't wait for a prince. Be able to rescue yourself."
     
The campaign, created by Doe-Anderson, a Louisville-based advertising agency, is meant to reflect one of the school's core goals: to help its students become independent, productive women in the real world. For example, during entrepreneur courses, students create real businesses and donate the proceeds to women in Sudan; in chemistry class, they clean up simulated oil spills.

Disney itself is working to revamp its princess archetype. The upcoming Disney film "Frozen" features a princess named Anna who embarks on a dangerous mission to save her kingdom from a fate of eternal winter.
