Imaginary, magical films seen as “fairy tales” have brought us excitement and wonders for us to this day. With over 1,000 films published, Walt Disney stating “Laughter being timeless, imagination having no age, and dreams going on forever” allows us to see everything in a positive way. In the film “Aladdin” Disney makes us use our imagination through a magical lamp and a magic carpet that are being used to turn street rat Aladdin into a handsome prince. There are many favorites I had as a child with Disney, more specifically princess movies.

The princess did not seem too convinced by him until one night Aladdin finally decided to make his move into conquering her with an adventure on his magic carpet. Stuttering he asked her “You don’t… you don’t wanna go for a ride, do you? We could get out go the palace, see the world, Do you trust me”. (Disney, 1992) “Do you trust me” the line he had originally said when they had first met in the market. (Disney, 1992) This opening the princess’s eyes to see that prince “Ali” was no prince. At this point, knowing that he was not a prince she knew for a fact that this time she really did need to let her heart decide. She agreed on to his offer and turned her way of seeing the world to a whole new view. The lies he made to the princess are understandable because he knew that he had no other chance in talking to her once again. In his point of view Jasmine would never even look at him if she knew the real him. Which in this case gives us a perfect understanding of the fact that we should never assume that about someone, putting things into a conclusion. What Aladdin did was wrong changing himself to think that would make him better. In her eyes, he was the best, she didn 't want no prince she wanted Aladdin. Adventures and excitement that she knew he would bring her. She knew he would bring her happiness, her knowing that he was the one. Jasmine releases …show more content…

Aladdin and Jasmine were together and nothing was able to separate them. He became a real prince by marrying the most amazing beautiful girl he saw in his eyes. His last wish was to set his best friend free, the genie. This Disney film allows not only children, but also adults that we should never have to change anything about ourselves in order to impress another or even others. Yes there are rules, but in some situations like these we should always be taking risks. Despising others because of their appearance or wealth is wrong. Following your heart and ignoring the ones who put you down into thinking that you will never have a

The movie “The Princess and the Frog” is not your typical “boy saves girl” movie. Instead, this Disney movie presents us with a strong female lead who doesn’t need a man to achieve her goals. In many previous Disney movies, it is demonstrated that a girl needs a man in order to get her happily ever after. Without a prince, she is nothing. In “The Princess and the Frog” the gender roles are presented to us as equal, even reverse at times.

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).

He does not return to her doorstep and present it like a holy grail, his proclamation of love sending her into a delicate swoon. As much as the boy and the reader might hope for such a romantic outcome, the reality is far more pedestrian. The boy arrives at Araby as it is already beginning to close, and is so overwhelmed and intimidated by its silent, unfriendly atmosphere that he leaves empty-handed, shop lights flickering out around him (Joyce, p. 383). The final line is sobering: “Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger (Joyce, p. 383).” In his lofty imaginings the boy has imagined himself not as who he is, but as who he wishes to be - a figure out of a fairy tale, “[bearing his] chalice safely through a throng of foes (Joyce, p. 380).”

Abstract Most of us have grown up watching Disney films but never really thought of what they exactly mean to us.
