Expectation vs. Reality
Being one of the later, more famous movies that Disney brought out, the 2013 animated film Frozen depicts a more life-like story about two princesses living with magical icy powers. Apart from the animation, we see a drastic change in how women (a princess, no less) are depicted in the new franchise. For the first time in Disney history, women don’t wake up looking like perfectly made-up Barbie dolls!
When Anna wakes up looking anything but pristine, every woman and girl out there, even if it was subconscious, felt seen. What is more relatable than waking up with messy hair and drool coming out of your mouth? We love that Disney is changing their perspective and presenting a more attainable princess for all the little girls out there today.
