Gender, Race and Disney Princesses

Disney Princess is very interesting for people of all ages, but their target audience is an infant. "As children grow and develop, they are easily affected by seeing and listening." Therefore, what they saw or heard in Disney movies gave them an impression. The first princess, Snow White was founded in the era when each gender and race plays a specific role in society. Recently, many people believe that since Snow White, we have made significant progress in terms of gender and ethnicity. Because after the appearance of multiple multi-cultural protagonists, the role of sex is not stereotyped as it used to be.

Disney Princess movies are excellent for showing us the typical sexual role and stereotypes between men and women. Sometimes they spoil sexuality, but this often fails to show us the stereotypical idea of ​​the typical sex role. I'd like to focus on nine specific Disney Princess movies, but I also discuss other Disney Princess movies that break the role of gender. The nine Disney Princess movies that I draw attention are "Snow White" and "Seven Pictures", "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty", "Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", " Hyacinth ". ", Muran", "Princess and Frog". All these nine princess movies are primarily the characters of women and men, and the characters of women.

Especially at the early stage of the Disney Princess movie, depiction of Disney regarding men and women is influenced by gender norms and roles. When the Disney Princess movie was first released in the 1930's, the main cultural understanding of women was closely related to their role as a housewife. In order to win the audience and customer base, Disney used these ideas when the first Princess films "Snow White" and "Seven Dwarves" were released in 1937, effectively using Disney Princess Movies I drew them in a role. In addition, in the initial film production, almost all Walt Disney employees were men. Films produced by male employees not only reflect the dominant view of gender but also because the men of the time were thought to be more capable and thus superior to women, the inherent bias I'm waiting. This reflects a strong, skilled number of men and a quiet and weak social custom of women.
