The Snow White in "Once Upon a Time" is definitely stronger than the one in the original Disney version, for she actively fights for her survival after being banished by the Evil Queen. Hence, I think overall media has slowly taken steps towards redefining these classic "damsel in distress" characters into women that we can now relate to.Winnie Huanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05625417946333355595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-33000862860664218542011-12-07T11:42:45.820-08:002011-12-07T11:42:45.820-08:00Yes, there's definitely a change from the vari...Yes, there's definitely a change from the various generations of Disney princesses. The Cinderella/Snow White era did not represent a very feminist one, but Mulan and Pocahontas were definitely a step in the right direction. And then, with Tangled and the Princess and the Frog, there was a certain change from days of a damsel in distress.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286795917822941982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-23396733032889721232011-12-06T13:53:20.313-08:002011-12-06T13:53:20.313-08:00I agree that some of the original Disney Princesse...I agree that some of the original Disney Princesses were a little less than strong and independent, but I think that they are taking good steps in the newer movies. For example, as someone said earlier on the blog, Mulan is a good example of girl who fights for what she believes. The new princess from the movie Princess and the Frog has also been making some strides, as she was 1) originally supposed to save the prince by kissing him and 2) has a definite life goal so she is able to support herself through hard work and dedication. I think that the fact that the princesses are changing as women get more recognition and power is a good thing.mdassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00867583177732873832noreply@blogger.com
