How Messed Up Lessons From Disney Films Affect Us
A startling look into the lessons embedded in Disney films.
Denne undersøgelse fokuserede ikke kun på, hvor mange ord karaktererne sagde, men også hvad der blev sagt. De analyserede komplimenter, og her ser vi en positiv tendens. Under klassikerne modtog de kvindelige karakterer 55 % af komplimenterne baseret på deres udseende og 11 % baseret på deres færdigheder. I New Age-æraen komplimenteres kvindelige karakterer for deres udseende 22 % af tiden og for deres færdigheder 40 % af tiden.
Med den seneste serie af Disney Princess-film er dialogtendensen blevet vendt. Frozen, Brave og Tangled har været mere velovervejede med hensyn til de talende roller mellem kønnene. Denne nyeste cyklus byder på prinsesser, der er uafhængige, talentfulde og ofte driver deres egne fortællinger. Faktisk, i en dramatisk ændring af begivenhederne fra de tidligste prinsesser, redder disse moderne ofte mændene. I Frozen bliver den traditionelle kærlighedshistorie vendt på hovedet, da ægte kærlighed afsløres for at være kærligheden mellem søstre.
Men det kunne Disney stadig udmærket f*ck os op. Et hovedmotiv i feminismen i dag er urealistisk kropsopfattelse, og Disney gør meget lidt for at adressere dette. Umulige kropsproportioner i Disney Prinsesser, ogdette studiefandt ud af, at forholdet mellem kvinders kroppe og mænds i moderne Disney-film forstærker den sexistiske forestilling om, at kvinder kun er smukke, når de er umuligt tynde, med sarte kaukasiske ansigtstræk.
Hør, jeg tror ikke, vi skal tabe hovedet over Disney Princess-film. Disse film er trods alt beregnet til at underholde og lidt mere. Når det er sagt, er børn ikke i stand til at forstå de potentielle virkninger, det kan have på deres selvbillede, og tydeligvis internalisere disse sexistiske budskaber. Så hvad er svaret? Som det ofte går ud på, at være opmærksom og uddannet, og at stemme med vores dollars er virkelig det bedste, vi kan gøre.

A Disney movie that never had as much success was the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Whenever you buy Disney merchandise, you never see Esmerelda among the popular Disney Princesses Jasmine, Belle, Ariel, and Cinderella. The themes it dealt with such as disabilities and religious persecution was too dark for mainstream audiences. I was a Disney fed child. Every year my family took a trip to Disney World and I still love my Disney movies it’s just that we have realize that they weren’t as empowered as they were marketed to be. Like Hilary was saying many people were saying that Ariel giving up her voice to be with prince Eric was promoting passivity. Even though Disney movies have come a long way since their racist and sexist start in 1940 they still have a ways to go.

When I was a child I pretended to be Princess Jasmine. But now I’m beginning to rethink that those movies aren’t as female empowerment as they had led us to believe. Beauty and the beast had a lot of good themes like making the lead character a nerd and that real beauty comes from within but why does every female character get all the guys in every role? Why couldn’t they have made the leads not get a lot of attention from guys? If you look at the movie the hunchback of notre dame Esmerelda was never a Disney princess. The themes that movie dealt with-religious persecution, disabilities-was too dark for most audiences. Even though I still love my Disney movies and Disney world trips it’s good people are beginning to rethink the themes of the movies.

I feel like Cinderella was the worst of all. What a freaking gold digger. But yeah, not to mention the prince of Sleeping Beauty who just kissed a princess who wasn’t even conscious. I wouldn’t have understood all of this if it wasn’t for this article. But I was thinking that maybe Disney didn’t intend to do this, mainly because they’re not really the author of these classic books. Removing the main details would have been a complete remake. So I guess they didn’t have a choice.

I don’t remember Disney being as stupid as this. Maybe we’re just overthinking?

I hate how they made Rapunzel dumb. I used to like her.
Hilda Norris
Oh please, just because they’re cartoons it doesn’t always mean it’s for kids. Plus, supervise your children so that they don’t end up watching something as stupid as this.

Never liked old Disney anyways. I like the current Disney Princesses better. Elsa didn’t even need a prince.

I was probably a dumb kid back in the days because I didn’t even see the undertone of these Disney movies. I just thought that princess and prince’s were loving couples and that everyone in this world has their prince charming. The real message was lost in translation to me. Eitherway, I’m glad someone compiled this because I want this to serve as a lesson to a lot of people that even though they’re cartoons and that the show seems harmless, we might be putting across the wrong message.

I didn’t even know that Snow White was 15 and she lived with 7 male dwarves!

Ahaha this comment wins it all.
