Keira Knightley explains her shock decision to BAN daughter Edie, 3, from watching Disney classics Cinderella and Little Mermaid

Keira Knightley has explained why she banned her daughter from watching the Disney classics Cinderella and Little Mermaid.

The actress, 33, who controversially revealed last month that she doesn't allow Edie, 3, to watch the films because the female characters are 'rescued by men', detailed the plight of those specific characters further - admitting that it didn't sit well with her.

Oozing glamour at The Nutcracker And The Four Realms premiere in London on Thursday, the star admitted that the likes of Frozen and Moana were 'huge in her house' and the strong leads of those films would have 'words' with other Disney princesses such as Ariel.  

Keira revealed: 'I love Frozen, I am 100% Team Frozen and Team Moana. Moana is big in our house, Inside Out is big in our house.

'I just wonder what Elsa (Frozen) would say to Ariel (The Little Mermaid) and Cinderella because Elsa has some serious opinions about Anna (her sister in Frozen) going off with a guy that she's only just met and saying she would marry him.

Clearly frustrated, she continued: 'She's is like "absolutely that is not OK" and in fact everyone in Frozen is not OK with that.

'What would Elsa say to Ariel, who gives up her voice for a man? A man, by the way, she has only seen dance round a ship and then drown!
