Actor Kristen Bell has concerns with regards to certain Disney films and believes they are problematic.

In an interview with Parents magazine, Bell, 38, voiced her concerns about "Snow White" and the message it sends to children, including her two daughters.

"Don't you think that it's weird that the Prince kisses Snow White without her permission? Because you cannot kiss someone if they're sleeping!" Bell said.

Bell said the part when Snow White eats an apple from the witch — a stranger — is also troubling.

"Everytime 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 the 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,'" Bell said.

Her comments come after actor Keira Knightley revealed that she has "banned" her daughter from watching classic Disney films like "Cinderella" and "The Little Mermaid". — PTI.
