Let’s take a look in the past, Disney is known for their ‘happily ever after’ storylines where a princess is the main character, has a sidekick of some sort, unrealistic creatures come in to help, and an evil lady trying to destroy her life. These kind of films tell a tale about the princess’s life. Other films has a storyline of an animal or insect saving their clan from the bad guys, such as The Lion King and Bugs life. Recently, Walt Disney Animation Studios has changed the way they tell their storylines as well as bringing more diverse main characters in their films. They just came out with a film that has the main character as a Native American in The Princess and the Frog. In this kid’s film, they changed the characters life to be a normal young girl who is a waitress from New Orleans. This make the film more relatable to different races. They completely changed their original films to be in a more modern daily life with relatable storylines and lessons that be used in real life. For example, to be cautious when meeting new people because they can turn out to be not who they say they are like Prince Hans from Frozen. As we all can assume it’s better to add more multi-cultural worlds and diverse characters in the Disney films to attract different groups of watchers as well as to show other lifestyles people live

Gill disagrees “About 20% of the reviews studied focus solely on the heroines’ appearances rather than their personalities and do so in a way that is more demeaning than complimentary” (Gill 763). The author also emphasizes how Disney movies like to show that the women always end up needing a prince to “save them” and depend on. The article also goes in to detail on how movies stereotype each princess to look perfect, portray innocence and have the same main goal; finding their prince charming. (Gill) states, “By subtly influencing society’s view of Disney princess in a way that implies they are stereotypically feminine, these media weaken the perception of the princesses’ strengths and focus instead on traits such as beauty and domesticity” (Gill

In his analysis of Disney’s movie The Princess and the Frog (which coincidentally Bruce Smith also contributed to the animation of) Richard M. Breaux claims that Disney used this movie to cash in on it’s racist past (p 1). He claims that Disney uses this movie to address complaints about their lack of representation in the past, and that even this representation makes the African American past in the US seem nostalgic, as opposed to the vast inequality of the time the movie is placed in (Breaux). TPF came before The Princess and the Frog, so it can be assumed that Disney’s smaller screen is a little more successful with their racial

The media we consume as kids plays an important role in shaping who we are and how we view the world as we grow older. One media company that has an impact on almost every child around the world with its various movies, toys, and theme parks is the Walt Disney Company. As a result, Disney has started to create more movies, especially princess movies, that represent more diverse cultures because their young audience comes from many different parts of the world. However, they have received a lot of backlash on how they choose to incorporate more diverse cultures into their movies. Despite Disney’s recent efforts to provide more race representation in their princess movies, they still have room for further improvement because they provide little

However, if Disney would have started out with a more diverse color of people they would not have these issues they have today with their audiences. It’s just Disney started out on the values and they still continue to do to it this day. So with all of this why did they just do so differently? It was because their audience wanted that diversity of color, so Disney produced it and what did we

From the opening jazz number to the vibrant Mardi Gras scenes, the movie captures the spirit of the city. The incorporation of African-American culture and characters is particularly significant, as it is rare to see such representation in mainstream animated films.

People of all ages throughout the years are very familiar with the concept of Disney movies. Some notable classics of Disney are “Beauty and the Beast” which was released in 1991 and “The Little Mermaid” which was released in 1989. Among the children, the Disney princesses left a good impression on them like Cinderella from “Cinderella”, Pocahontas from “Pocahontas”, and Mulan from “Mulan”.

Walt Disney has been making girls think that in order to be beautiful you have to be the perfect shape and size. (Shortridge). Some people believe that the Disney Princesses are great role models for children because Mulan teaches us to never give up on the strengths we have just because we are girls, Belle teaches us to never judge a book by its cover, and Pocahontas shows us real princesses are strong leaders. On the other hand, some individuals feel that Disney Princesses are bad role models because of their unrealistic body appearance, telling girls every marriage ends with a happily ever after when you get married at a young age, and saying every girl needs a man in order to be happy. Both sides have valid points but in reality everyone

The Little Mermaid which was produced in 1989, was the first Disney movie to challenge the traditional gender roles, for the fact that Ariel wanted to explore, and was more independent and assertive in her desires than the earlier princesses of the 1930’s and 50s films. Also the prince in The Little Mermaid went against traditional gender roles as well, simply because he was more affectionate and loving than his prince counterparts in other Disney films. “Both the male and female roles have changed over time, but overall the male characters evinced less change then the female characters and were more androgynous throughout.” (Descartes & England, pg.566). Disney movies have been for a long time a strong media target for children, and can serve as a way to address stereotypical gender roles (Leaper, 2000).

Sex and Gender is the most talked about topic around the world. Disney shows and movies have a huge influence over the public, especially children. For me I used to love Disney movies but as I got older and realize the true meaning about these movies, I never knew what I was watching or how it was teaching me on who I was supposed to be when I grew up. So for example, according to certain gender stereotypes a woman's place is at the home while a man's place is to provide for the family. The lack of a mother figure is also a noticeable in a majority of Disney animated movies.

During the course of the semester we learned about group theory, creating videos explaining the basics of group theory. We stated the four axioms of group theory and gave examples of group theory in the real world. Now what if I told you that group theory originated in the heavens, mainly from the big guy himself. Have I gotten your attention yet? Well, before I go into my explanation of God and group theory, I feel that it would be a good idea to look back and review what groups consist of.

“The word ‘Disney’ alone puts smiles on many faces,” (Pederson), and I believe it to be true. Disney has the capability to bring happiness to people worldwide, and bringing the magic to life with Disneyworld and Disneyland. Disney has created a plethora of animations and films, but the all time favorite for the majority of girls are the princesses. I’ve always imagined the day I would share the stories and movies of Disney Princesses when I have children (boy or girl). Disney princesses give young girls a chance to use their figment of imagination through entertainment, positive behavior, and teach them the evaluation of women’s roles.

Thus, interest in children 's books was growing and fairytales turned into children tales which were carrying moral concern. Along with the 20th century, Walt Disney has changed the concepts of its tales. They were no longer carrying any social message and it put children in a total dream world. At first sight, many Disney tales look innocent but they fundamentally have strong images hidden. For example, Disney draws a female figure that is dependent, which unknowingly cause gender stereotype in society.
