Cinderella- In the Disney film Cinderella, it shows a miserable young girl that is treated badly throughout her young life. Cinderella spends majority of the film daydreaming about having a man to full fill and rescue her from the slavery her evil step mother forces her to do. This implies to the audience, that having a man can take you away from any suffering in life and as disney films are mostly aimed at a young age group, like sleeping beauty, it is again giving children false belief by making them believe that being in a relationship, and in love is the only possible way to be happy and drawn away from other problems occurring. Cinderella is another old disney film that portrays this strong message to the audience.
Tangled- Tangled is one of the few Disney films that show that not all women are focused on waiting for a handsome prince to rescue them. Rapunzel shows throughout the film that she is independent and is more interested in her life long dream to see the floating lights. This disney film shows that Rapunzel isn't remotely interested in getting a 'Prince Charming' and doesn't need a man to rely on and make her happy. However, it still shows help from a male within the film but only to make her dream come true. This shows that women can be strong and determined and also that life is not focused around love and needing a mans attention. Tangled, like the other films i have spoke about, has a younger target audience and proves to the young children watching the film, that they are able to discover new things and that not all happiness comes from love, it can also come from following their dreams. Tangled is a more recent film which shows the change from older disney movies deliberate message, to now choosing your own path in life and creating your own happiness without needing a man to do so.
