the Middle East, was on par with an extremely biased news source. For example, other than cutting off your ear, there is a scene where Jasmine was nearly subject to the common punishment of hand amputation. If one were to view another movie about a Disney princess a similar case would be hard to find. Also, in the beginning of the film, the thief Gazeem, tells Jafar that he “had to slit a few throats” to get him what he needed. As if it were normal, Jafar has no response. This scene, along with many

The next group of Disney Princesses start with The Princess and The Frog (2009) and go until the most recent princess film, Moana (2016). The other films that fall into this category are Tangled (2010), Brave (2012), and Frozen (2013). These princesses are described as “rebels who live on the edge, full-figured, well endowed, and sexually charged.” Tiana (The Princess and The Frog), Rapunzel (Tangled), and Anna (Frozen), still end up with a romance at the end of the film. Tiana is Disney’s first

In the article “Cinderella and Culture” Peggy Orenstein voices how the princess movement is damaging young girl’s minds. Similarly, James Poniewozik in the “Princess Paradox” is against the princess movement, but shifts his point of view and discusses how it could be empowering for young girls. While both authors have a feminist point of view, Orenstein focuses more on how the princess movement is damaging young girl’s minds, while Poniewozik seems more concerned with how the movement can help young

Many fairy tales have a huge effect on children that are in their early stages of life. The early years of a child’s life is when they are influenced the most from people. Fairy tales are portrayed as innocent stories, they are made for children and meant to teach them good morals.

While both authors address the possibility that princess culture has an effect on girls, Poniewozik uses movies to emphasis his claim, and Orenstein uses the product that disney sells to emphasize her claim. In both Orenstein and Poniewozik’s articles feminism is displayed heavily. Feminism is when women's rights are based on the equality of the sexes. In Poniewozik’s article he uses movies to express that women can have

I admired the character Princess Jasmine in the film “Secondhand Lions” by Tim McCanlies because she was a minor character but she stood out in the film. This movie was about a fourteen year old boy whose mother sent him off to his Great Uncle's farm on a mission to find their millions that rumor said they had stashed away.

Walt Disney’s film Pocahontas is not historically accurate, but there is value in creating cartoon interpretations of American history. As a child, cartoons are mostly important for your development, both physically and mentally. Fairy tales help children understand the complexity of life.

Belle is an ordinary girl from a small town who then becomes a princess in the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast, although we have different lifestyles, we also have similarities; we both are caring and love our fathers.

Every culture has some form of a celebration to recognize the coming of age of a child when they are seen as a young adult to society. In Latin American countries, they call this celebration a Quinceañera and it takes place when a young girl turns fifteen. In the United States, they celebrate a Sweet 16, once the young girl turns sixteen. Both the Quinceañera and the Sweet 16 have some similarities, but they have different traditions. In Sweet 16 parties, traditions vary because of the many celebrations
