A traditional Disney princess lies within every girls psyche. 
The Princess is Pure, young and beautiful.
The Antagonist is Old, time ravaged witch

In all of the older movies the villain was obsessed with becoming young again or hanging on to the most desired mantle. Who was no longer the fairest in the land? Who wanted to steal Ariel's feminine voice? Maleficent wanted the pretty girl to die at 16 (when she was coming of age).

All of these movies are telling young women how to stop becoming the decrepit wall ravaged hag; marry the prince. But not only that, the prince must save her. In essence, the witch is really what the princess could become and the prince must save her from herself.

Today, movies like frozen, brave and the others you have listed get the princess save herself. The young women are told, "the prince will never come". This will only seal her fate as the witch, angry at the young princesses as they get older, less desired and eventually die with their cats.
