Imagine, being great beastly dragon who is unstoppable and will get what they want and will destroy anything that gets in their way. But what if that was just all a lie while the original dragon was rather hot-headed, dramatic, and careful about what is theirs. This is what exactly happens when Peter Jackson, director of the Hobbit:the Desolation of Smaug, changes the massive dragon, Smaug, to his own perspective to make his movie more exciting. The original Smaug took place in one of J.J.R. Tolkien’s works, The Hobbit, and Peter Jackson brought Smaug to life. But before meeting Smaug, the setting first took place in Hobbiton where Hobbits lived their lives peacefully, but that all changed for one particular Hobbit.

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).
