Keira Knightley says some Disney films have the wrong message

She told American TV host Ellen DeGeneres that Cinderella "waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don't! Rescue yourself. Obviously!"

When talking about The Little Mermaid, she went on to say: "I mean, the songs are great, but do not give your voice up for a man. Hello!"

"And this is the one that I'm quite annoyed about because I really like the film. I love The Little Mermaid! That one's a little tricky - but I'm keeping to it."

Not all Disney films are banned from her house though.

Finding Dory, which Ellen starred in as the voice of Dory, "is a big favourite" and "Frozen is huge, Moana is totally fine."
