So it would make sense that the transformation of male Disney characters is lagging behind their female counterparts, but I never realized just how bad they were. And while my love for all things Disney has only grown since childhood, I’ve been thinking a lot more about what the male characters in Disney films taught me.Īnd honestly, it wasn’t much? Part of the transformation of the Disney princess from one who leans into traditional gender stereotypes ( Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is an excellent example) into a fierce, independent leader ( Mulan, although she does take on masculine traits to gain respect and recognition from her colleagues) comes from the fact that women have been having the conversation around what it means to be a woman while men are still struggling to communicate. I’d always enjoyed the Disney films but never imagined being able to step foot inside the Magic Kingdom, or walk around the world in Epcot, or even see the Muppets up close at MGM Studios (sorry, you won’t be able to take that away from me Eisner).
In fourth grade, my parents surprised me with a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth, Walt Disney World. To support Dudefluencer directly and get great products in return– check out our store.
