She gave up her voice....
As part of her bargain with Ursula, sure. I would say she definitely got off easy when compared with the original Andersen fairy tale.

Point well taken, and maybe I'm going a little overboard with the symbolism, but there's something creepy about suggesting girls give up their voice (literally), or, the talent they are best known for, in order to catch a man.
Tiana is a much better role model, as is Mulan.
In the short term. I believe the princesses of today are much better. I just got back from seeing Tangled and I believe that there you can find a balanced princess with emotional turmoil, but both her and Eugune/Flyn save each other (with a saucepan!)
Keep up with the positive female role models!
