Disney Princesses

The "Gender Role Portrayal and the Disney Princesses"examines the behavioral and physical characteristics as well as the outcomes of the movies. Studies show that the portrayal of males and females in these movies rely heavily on masculine and feminine characteristics. Although Disney Princess movies have expanded to include more diverse characters, the male characters still remain the same. I'm not surprised by this because of viewers' responses on the negative female portrayals, so movies focus less on changing male stereotypes.
