Despite the enduring popularity and critical acclaim of the film, Cinderella is among the most controversial of the Disney protagonists. Various reviewers have called her too passive, one-dimensional, bland, colorless, banal, and a bit of a gold-digger who seeks a wealthy man to marry. Others feel that she is upstaged by some of the more intriguing supporting characters. On the other hand, positive views of the character praise her hard-working and strong-willed nature, her patience, her optimism, her perseverance against adversity, her approach to nonviolence when dealing with her cruel and evil step-family, her internal struggle to retain a good character even when hope dwindles, her courage in the face of evil, her design and style, and her role as a fashion icon. She is also compared positively to her predecessor Snow White, since she is actually a more active character and plays a larger role in her own film.
