These are my nieces at Disneyland last week posing with Snow White and having the times of their lives. This is just one of the many pictures they took that week with Disney characters and princesses, which in every picture they radiate happiness and excitement to be surround by such beautiful and magical characters that the Disney franchise has mastered over time.
When we are young, our innocent minds only focus on the fun, magical fantasy because we are too naiive to decode the messages behind the characters or the stories. Once you become of a certain age, you realize the sad truth that Disney is not all that magical as it seemed when you were a child. The narratives of Pocahontas, Mulan, and Tarzan are formed from the same redundant template of “elite hierarchy” with strong masculine characters and independent heroines. While narratives like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Beauty in the Beast, exemplify the hegemonic ideology of the beautiful, innocent, princess needing to be saved by her beloved prince...(because apparently she cant do anything for herself and is in need of a mans help).
These fantasies are giving false reality to children who are consumed in the magical world of Disney. Lee Artz explains, “Disney advances an ideological content that parallels the social and political requirements of capitalist economic activity; hierarchy, elite coercion, hyper-individualism, and social atomism”(Artz, 453). Disney’s narratives not only create hierarchical themes that become culturally acceptable with continuous consumption, but influence young girls that beauty on the outside is much more important than what’s on the inside.
