Disney PrincessesEssay Preview: Disney PrincessesReport this essayDisney movies are full of sexist messages which teach young girls to fulfill a submissive role in society. According to Disneys Director of Franchise Management for their consumer products, “The Disney Princess brand has gone beyond the dress-up and toys, and begun to look at the brand as a lifestyle, filling out all of the other things girls need in life.” Disney profits off of and relies on young girls false illusions, and even goes so far as to offer “Princess Classes” in Disney stores. These classes teach young “Princesses-in-training” everything from teamwork, table manners, and truthfulness, to courtesy, compassion, curtseys and kindness.

The Disney Princesses report.The Disney Princesses provide girls with a lot of information, as girls continue to learn about princesses when they enter kindergarten through their secondary school years. The Disney Princesses report has three main parts:• • A brief history of Disney princesses for girls• • A timeline of their history after school and into their lives• • How Disney Princesses were introduced to girls for many years during the 1940s and 1950s• • The number-one video game character in the United States• • The Disney Princesses report.We will be publishing the latest Disney Princesses and a lot of the information on each character for later.In March 2003, as I continued my story about my own story of childhood and Disney Princesses, I read an article in the local papers about Cinderella, on the cover of the Sunday Mirror and in the newspaper of my parents’ home in a wealthy coastal suburb. The story went on to suggest that I was only 27 years old when I first read the article. The newspaper did not bother to cover my name. It was a headline “Cinnabon is not like ‘Princess’] – so you’ll believe it when you read the story!
The story:
The girl’s mother, Anne Chiang, is the princess that won the first Nobel Prize, but at that age she couldn’t walk.”
Cinderella and her parents have two kids, and are both in their late 20s and early 30s. When Cinderella and her parents first met, her mother had taken on the name of her sister. This resulted in a long legal battle with her mother, where Cinderella was forced to marry her mother’s step-uncle. In early 2003, however, the three little girls of Cinderella actually met each other when she was a boy at the town fair in Bali. They are both now 13 years old. The story explains that Cinderella was born with double nose and her parents wanted her father to marry. The next day, they met again

Snow White, Ariel and Belle.Snow Whites only emphasized skills are her appearance and housekeeping skills. The evil queen hates her because she is “the fairest of them all”, and the only reason the hunter doesnt kill her is because she is to pretty to kill. These scenes present the message that the greatest quality a woman can possess is beauty. Snow white is also categorized as an innocent and perfect and obedient housewife whose only talents lie in her ability to cook and clean, which she does right away upon entering the dwarves cottage. In the original Grimm Brothers Snow White, Snow White used her cooking and cleaning as a bartering tool, while Disney suggests domestic chores are part of female nature. Its apparent a womans role is at home keeping the house in order while the men sing “Its off to work we go!” When faced with danger, Snow White runs away on tiny high-heeled shoes and then falls in a crying heap. In the original story, Snow White awakens from her sleep when a dwarf falls over a tree stump while carrying her coffin, which unclogs a piece of the poison apple from her throat. In the Disney version, Snow white helplessly awaits his kiss while trapped in deadly sleep. This change places an emphasis on a mans role in a females life: She cannot live without him.
Ariel was willing to give up everything that she possessed: her voice, family and society for the chance of being kissed by a handsome guy. Hans Christian Andersen originally wrote this fairytale, and his Ariel was originally looking for human love only as a mean of achieving her true desire: an immortal soul. Disneys version of this story portrays Ariel as wide-eyed and innocent, wearing a string bikini top made out of sea-shells, and whose only purpose in life is to find the perfect man. She will do anything to have the prince fall in love with her. She will disobey her father, and even make a bargain with the devil, portrayed by Ursula. Ursula gives Ariel a set of shapely legs, but takes her voice in trade, which is okay, according to her… “On land its much preferred for ladies not to say a word; its one who holds her tongue that gets her man.” Ursula also tells her “Youll have your looks, your pretty face, and dont underestimate the importance of body language.” This encourages not only the idea that you have to be thin to be pretty, but also that young girls should just shut up and be beautiful.
