The size-zero look is replicated by every single Disney princess in cinema. It’s not just that women are portrayed as skinny to increase their attractiveness. Many critics have blasted Disney over this portrayal of women, claiming that the images have inspired anorexia and eating disorders in young women.
While Disney may receive a lot of criticism for scandalous race portrayals and imagery, there is no doubt that there are many positive effects these films have on children even today. The issues of expression, equality, safety, hope and self-acceptance are all issues covered by Disney films that will benefit your children.
While not always praised for their national mix. Disney has made efforts to make sure their heroes and heroines are not always traditional. In the case of The Jungle Book, The Princess and the Frog, Aladdin, Mulan and Pocahontas. As well in the animated Disney films, the heroes are both male and female, if not predominantly female. Females in later Disney films are smart, kind, witty and noble, such as in Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, and giving a good interpretation of female empowerment to young girls.
Happy endings are not always the case in life, Disney movies encourage children to believe and hope. Belief in happy endings and that people will do the right thing is important to children's good behaviour. Innocence and naivety is not something you will want your child to be rid of any time soon.
