Mulan, Pocahontas, Jasmine from Aladdin, Tianna of Notre Dame are just a few of the movies that involve people of different ethnic backgrounds. Here are a few: more can be found here. The monkeys are also singing about wanting to be human, which is symbolic for African Americans wanting to be humans and not slaves or under everyone else. I feel that people like to analyze everything just to find something wrong.
The pessimists are making nothing into such a big deal. Some consider Disney movies sexist because the princess is usually in some type of trouble, is considered weak, and needs a man to save her in the end.
The most referenced example is the movie Sleeping Beauty. She pricks her finger on the spinning and is put to sleep. The only way that she can be saved is to be kissed by a prince. People think that this shows little girls that they are incapable of accomplishing anything on their own. Another example is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. The negative thinking audience believes that Belle is in an abusive relationship with the Beast and there is nothing she can do about it.
Once Belle is set free to take care of her father, she returns very quickly, which is what most victims of abuse do. People also think that there is sexism in the Little Mermaid with Ariel. Ariel changes her physical appearance just to be with the man she loves. Yes these are very sexist along with others but there are more movies where the woman is the hero in the end. She goes through the training, but once people find out she is female, she is sent home.
A problem then occurs and Mulan ends up saving her country fighting, being more successful and determined than the men in the army. Queen Elsa has a magical power that is hard for her to control. Her powers get out of hand and she ends up leaving the castle. Her sister, Princess Anna is then in charge. Instead of having the men go after Elsa, Anna goes after her herself. Princess Anna falls for Prince Hans and she falls under his spell that she is in love with him and is going to marry him after only knowing him for a day.
Towards the end of the movie we find out that Prince Hans was fake and never really loved Anna, he jut wanted to rule the kingdom. Psychiatric Labeling Labeling People. Adventure Therapy.

Child-based movies and cartoons do influence the thinking and behaviors of millions of 21st century children. Yes, children can benefit from creating works of art. In fact, very young children often enjoy creating their own little art masterpieces. Females in later Disney films are smart, kind, witty and noble, such as in Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, and giving a good interpretation of female empowerment to young girls.
Many Disney programs show children the importance of being safe and listening to your guardians. Though in a dream, Alice from Alice in Wonderland wanders off from her sister and becomes lost and stuck in Wonderland, only wishing to go home. Pinocchio leaves his father and becomes lost and kidnapped while Ariel from the Little Mermaid leaves the advice of her father and makes a deal with a dangerous witch, risking her life. Messages like this inform children to listen to advice given by their parents and to stay safe.
Though this may sometimes go over a child's head, Disney movies occasionally have a message at the end of the movie.
Such was the case with the film Wall-E. Though the protagonist doesn't do more than blip, beep, and occasionally shout its own name or the name of his love interest Eve, the world around Wall-E shows the importance of helping the environment.
The message at the end of the film gears children toward environmental awareness, planting trees and the risks of over-consumption as a person and as a society. The genie from Aladdin said it best while transformed into a bee and buzzing beside Aladdin's ear as Aladdin pretends to be a prince in front of Jasmine: "Just -bee- yourself. While not always the case in life, Disney movies encourage children to believe and hope.
Belief in happy endings and that people will do the right thing is important to child morality. Innocence and naivety is not something you will want your child to be rid of any time soon.
