Shannon Hale has a great blog entry about the lack of female characters in animated movies.

And I would just add that even in the princess movies the girls often don't have mothers, which has always struck me as wierd.
On a personal note, in doing the Princess Bride blog I've noticed that for a "Princess" movie there sure are a lot of boys in it, and they seem to have all the best lines. It doesn't make me like the movie any less, but I do think it's kind of a shame.
