For the presentation, I’ve chosen an Alternative way to focus on the influence of feminist development on animation, especially in Disney princess animation.

Image building of Female Power Players (Female Villain Role Building)
1. Female villains like to wear purple, and they make enemies of princesses. Except for Cinderella’s stepmother, all of them use witchcraft.
2. All female villains restrict the princess’s freedom to varying degrees.
3. Why do they do evil? Youth, beauty, power, and money to integrate into society and be recognized. This is actually a reflection of the social phenomenon of the time.
Feminists emerged from the women’s movement in the early 20th century. They were committed to fighting for women’s rights and demanding equality between men and women.
However, in the social environment of the time, they nakedly challenged patriarchy and male authority. Such behavior was absolutely intolerable to most men at the time, so these feminists were strongly opposed and suppressed by men. When the male discourse returns, everything these “evil” female power players try to achieve will become a bubble in the face of the true central power of the “prince”, and the respectful and gentle princesses will get everything they dream of.
