Keira Knightley won’t let her daughter watch Disney movies and here’s why

"Absolutely not!"

Keira Knightley has some pretty strict rules when it comes to raising her daughter Edie. Yes, the mum-of-one revealed in an interview that she’s banned her three-year-old daughter from watching certain movies including a few childhood classics. Sitting down with Ellen Degeneres, Keira revealed that she and husband James Righton have banned Edie from watching two classic Disney movies but for very good reason.

“She’s banned from seeing certain children’s movies, right?” Ellen asked. “Yeah. Cinderella – banned,” Keira revealed. “Because you know, she waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don’t. Rescue yourself – obviously!”

Her decision received huge applause from host Ellen and her audience before Keira added another movie to her list.

“And this is the one that I’m quite annoyed about because I really like the film but The Little Mermaid,” she added. “I mean the songs are great but do not give your voice up for a man.”

However, not all kids classics are banned. Keira said movies like Frozen, Moana and Finding Dory have all passed her test and are a part of Edie’s collection.
