Being a Princess
From the full length dress of Snow White, to the skimpy animal skins of Jane, from Tarzan and Jane, Disney has no doubtedly evolved through the years, and changed the profile of women. When Snow White was released, which was one of the first Disney movies, she instantly assumed the role of caretaker. She is shown baking pies, cleaning the house for the dwarfs, and is submissive to men, even if they are three feet shorter her, but the fact that they are men, is why she becomes submissive to them. As time went by, women slowly became portrayed as more independent by Disney. Aerial from little mermaid first displays her independence, but in the end, ends up with the same fairy tale as the previous princesses. Time progressed, and Aladin was released, and soon was followed a few years late by Pochahantis, and then Tarzan. Jane, a fairly recent member into the Disney princess club, breaks most Disney traditions that were established in the years past. As the years progressed, the princesses stripped off clothing layers, and slowly became more liberated in speech and body representation.
Visually, the Disney clan also evolved in the past couple of decades. Clothes were stripped off, more makeup was powdered on, and waists and hips shrank.
Whatever happens in the future with Disney, time will only tell, but the last few years have definantly brought many social and society changes.
