Everyone remembers Finding Nemo and loved it, so why not make a sequel with Dory as the main focus to not only make more money, but also make a social statement of the importance of women. Many new Disney films follow this cultural trend such as Moana, Frozen, Finding Dory and many more.įinding Dory is a clear and obvious attempt by Disney to try and further their use of the active female protagonist. In this very scene, Disney shows that they support gender equality, and believe that it is important to recognize everyone as equal. After breaking a few gender stereotypes, she proceeds to shoot 3 bulls eyes with her bow and arrow while also walking at the same time. She then, literally and figuratively, rips through the constraints of her formal and traditional dress.
Merida takes her hood off and shows her messy red hair contrary to Cinderella’s smooth blonde hair. She decides to prove that she can do better than all of those men. In a particular scene Merida is watching a contest between men and how well they can shoot an arrow. Brave is about Merida and how she breaks all of those stereotypes. It shows that women are restricted to doing household chores: the cooking, cleaning, laundering, shopping, and sewing. The movie shows that a woman’s value is based on how she looks. Cinderella represents the many restrictions on women of that time period. Two movies that show this contrast are the movies Cinderella (1950) and Brave (2012). Disney films represent this shift in more of their movies than any other.
