their smaller studio and stopped making all their female
characters look like they were drawn from the same
rough draft. With their tiny necks, giant doe-eyed eyes,
impossibly slim waist lines, they’re very much close to
what fashion magazines tell young girls to look like these
days, which is impossible to achieve and often just
unhealthy.
Unfortunately that is not the only problem I have with the
Disney. They’re a highly influential studio, in a way, that
they could have access into almost every home, these
days. Young children will grow up watching those movies
and learn from them. It’s a position not many can say
they have, and it’s not an easy one. It came to a point,
when Disney should re-consider their current role and
maybe have a look at how they could really make a
change. Cause if I, as an 8 year old girl could be thought
that reading books and being different, but yourself is
okay, than imagine, what the implication of watching a
Disney Princess fall in love with another princess would
be? Maybe not now, but in 10 years from now, we could
watch all these young adults, confidently fight against
intolerance on more levels than just this example I gave.
There is a lot wrong with the world these days, and I
believe that sometimes all we need are small, positive
changes, but ones that can be started early in our
childhood. Disney could help shape a better future, but
for that to happen they would need to do more than just
go with their times.
It’s been 76 years, it’s time for Disney
to man up and stop playing it safe.
