Gender Stereotypes In Disney Movies

Being a writer and director are challenging positions. A writer and director must be in-tune with their audience in order to capture

A successful movie is decided by gross revenue of the movie. Most writers and directors base on the world 's histories, the reality society, and the favorite people 's style to make their successful movies. Indeed, the writers are responsible for writing the script. Once they have handed over the script that is pretty much the end of their creative involvement with the movie. The directors control film 's artistic and dramatic aspects, and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design, and the creative aspects of filmmaking. Therefore, the writers and the directors are the most important people who make a successful movie. Even though, the writers and the directors are the main people who create the content of the film, they do not have a responsibility to avoid stereotyping ethnic characters in the movie because it is just the connection between the audiences and the actors or actress, it is the way to increase the business of filmmakers and the writers, and it is just the way to review the world 's history.

Apart from the stereotypes, recent Disney princesses have been counteracting the stereotypical images of a Disney princess. They are no longer waiting around for their prince to come and be with them. Instead, they are using their intelligence to achieve their dreams and aspirations. Also, they can be independent and that they don’t always need a man (Bowser n.p.). The portrayal of love in these films are different from the others. The characters are not focused in waiting for their prince. Rather, they were trying to achieve their dreams. In "The Princess and the Frog", Tiana pursues her dream in becoming a restaurant owner. She didn't need a male counterpart to be able to feel happy but only wanted to fulfill her dream to feel happiness.

Gender – whether there was a difference in performance between genders; used for comparison between male and female participants

Films have the power to both influence and reflect society. The stereotypes prevalent throughout American culture are reflected in most films. While the United States is becoming an increasingly diverse country, this diversity is not portrayed within American cinema. Minority figures often occupy

A total of 59 participants took part in this experiment. They were split into two independent experimental groups, one being the control group, and the other the experimental group. There were 30 participants in the control group, and 29 participants in the experimental group. The male to female ratio was fairly equal with

Disney is part of our culture, it doesn’t matter the country, the language or the age, everybody knows it and at least partly, identifies with some aspects of it. Everyone loves a Disney movie, whether it's an old classic like Snow White or a newer one like Frozen. But is this a good or a bad thing? I don’t what to use the typical example of the pretty Disney princess that is always getting in trouble, needs a man to save the say, and their happiness and ultimate goal in life is marriage, because we have heard and talk a lot about this stereotype that is common in Disney movies.

Happily ever after is a notion that is presented in all Disney movies, especially in Disney princess movies. Children who watch these movies grow up believe in happy endings, true love and heroic princes who save the day. However, these movies do not depict the reality of romance and marriage. Relationships do not consist only of heterosexual, cisgender, same-race couples. Interracial couples, homosexual couples, and transgender couples exist in our society, yet, they are never represented in Disney films.

When we talk about gender roles we refer to the ideas or stereotypes that are assigned to us by our sex with which we were born. However, throughout our lives, there are roles that are transmitted and acquired innocently through our socialization with family, school, friends or even the media. Maybe we think that this phenomenon of gender roles is something new, however, it is surprising to see how since we were children we were inculcated to certain norms classified by society as "normal". On the one hand, it is sad to see how our society reinforces our gender roles and penalizes those people who do not meet certain expectations for society. Therefore, I would like to investigate how certain Disney films may have influenced the way we thought about the difference in genres.

What young girl does not dream of becoming a princess and living in a castle happily ever after? Virtually every young girl identifies with princesses and has watched at least one Disney Princess movie. From the first movies of Snow White and Cinderella, to the later movies of The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, to the most current movie Moana, Disney Princess movies permeate not only the movie theaters, but also our culture. In fact, “becoming a princess is as easy as purchasing a tiara and hosting a princess-themed birthday party or buying a Halloween costume and playing pretend” (Garabedian, 2014, p. 23). Nonetheless, as declared by Princess Merida in the movie Brave, “there comes a day when I don’t have to be a princess. No rules, no expectations. A day where anything can happen. A day where I can change my fate” (Andrews & Chapman, 2012). In other words, does the life of a princess measure up to the expectations of little girls everywhere? The Disney Princess brand has grown incredibly popular, especially with young girls. In spite of this, the franchise has also become extremely controversial due to potential gender stereotypes in the films. “Gender is one of the most discussed topics in today’s society…[it] represents and also reproduces certain attributes, expectations and roles which are associated with male and female…influencing the views and opinions of future generations” (Maity, 2014, p. 31). Yet, is the Disney Princess brand harmful to young children due to gender stereotypes? Two essays that contemplate the Disney Princess brand and gender stereotypes with opposite viewpoints on this controversial issue are “Girls on Film: The Real Problem with the Disney Princess Brand” by writer Monika Bartyzel and “In Defense of Princess Culture” by writer and mother Crystal Liechty. However, Liechty’s essay “In Defense of Princess Culture,” is the most effective article in convincing the audience of her point of view due to the claim, support, warrant, language, and vocabulary employed.

Statistical Techniques. This was an exploratory study, it was meant to determine the overall favorability of women showing signs of menstruation, and decide if said menstrual signs affected the general objectification of women. Researchers used descriptive evidence such as: where the participants sat post experiment, the overall masculinity and femininity levels of participants, and an Expectation rating form. Statistical techniques such as the ANOVA test, chi-square analysis, T-test, and X2 test were also used.

Assumption 2 of the t test is that there will be independence of observation. Here, a participant can only be a member of the male group or the female group; this cannot overlap and a person can only be assigned to one group. This will not be tested via a visual component, as this assumption is based on setting up the research correctly.

Disney is one of the most successful and largest companies in the world. They have their hand in nearly every form of entertainment as well as media, and broadcasting. Disney is best known for their animated films, unique cartoon characters, catchy musicals, and fairy tales that most of us were first introduced to as children. They are one of the few entertainment companies in the World whose primary demographic is children and teens. Nearly everybody is familiar with the Disney name and its brand, and its realistic to suggest that nearly everybody has experienced a Disney film and animated character at some point in their lives; which may have helped to influence them or their behaviors or even their

NASA was able to determine who was eligible by creating a test. This test was able to test everything that they thought would physically needed to know. So for example the unknown of how someone would deal with no gravity they would seclude them into tanks of water. They would test the length of time that they could stay in this tank without freaking out essentially. This test was the most complete physical on a human being possible. The Lovelace test as it was called started out just testing men but over time without anyone of power knowing they did include women. While they did work on these test the women were each subjected to the same conditions as the men. Most of the test that these women discussed in the documentary were unbearable at times. These women did not
