A deep analysis of disney movies assignment

Now, in Snow White, the evil stepmother poisons Snow White with an apple and she falls into a deep sleep, where she will not be awaken until kissed by a handsome prince. Soon, the prince comes to the rescue and sweeps Snow White off of her feet and they ride away into the sunset to live their “ happily ever after”. There were videos after Snow White that had given the same perspective. For examples: Cinderella and/or Sleeping Beauty. Cinderella lived in a mansion, though was treated as a slave by her wicked stepmother, quite similar to Snow White’s situation.

Soon Cinderella was given a Fairy Godmother that granted her wish to go to the ball. Cinderella then met and fell in love with the prince. When the prince came to realize who she was, he soon fell in love with her too and they also lived their “ happily ever after”. Sleeping Beauty begins to have the same plot line. Sleeping Beauty, formally known as Aurora or rose, was a beautiful young lady who was put under a trance on her sixteenth birthday. She was put into a deep slumber, similar to that of Snow White, and could only be woken by true loves kiss.

Ariel was not able to do this on her own and required the help of her Prince. In 1991, the movie “ Beauty and the Beast” was created and the princess, Belle, gives her life to the Beast as a prisoner in order to free her father. Now Belle certainly plays a big role in “ taming” the beast, but it is still the beast who completes their “ happily ever after” by disposing of Gaston. Moving on to 1992, with Aladdin. In this Disney movie, Jasmine disguises herself as a daily peasant in order to escape from the daily life as royalty in the palace.

She chooses not to have the perfect life and does not go in search of love or a prince. But, although Jasmine is just as smart and cunning as Aladdin, she still needs him in order to defeat Jafaar and rescue her from his grips. The Disney princesses in this area of time reflect the changes in the view of women and their equality with man-women are no longer weak and submissive to all of mans word, but they are also not quite fully independent of them yet. In the mid to late 90’s Disney came up with two movies that featured two prominent female characters, Mulan and Pocahontas.
