“…When researchers interviewed a group of children and asked them their opinions on the appearance of Disney princesses, they mentioned mostly Disney princesses who had stereotypical beauty representations such as being slim and light skinned. Princesses such as Moana, Tiara, and Merida from later eras were much less mentioned [17].…”

“…Luckily, a lot of young girls have detailed perceptions of beauty. They are also capable of distinguishing the fictional characters from reality [17]. However, when a group of 10 children aged four to six years old were asked to identify each princess using the common ideal definition of beauty in an experiment, Merida and Moana had the least votes in almost every beauty aspect.…”

From 1937 to the present, Disney produced 13 princess movies in total. Many gender portrayals in these movies are stereotypical, inaccurate, and/or problematic. To explore the effects of these stereotypes displayed in Disney's princess movies on its viewers, this paper reviewed 25 sources to first demonstrate if and how Disney princesses has changed throughout the years. It will then analyze how the evolving portrayal of female characters casts influences on young girls. Results of the study shows that Disney princesses have advanced in terms of their decision-making abilities and leadership skills, but not in their body images and representations. Research also reveals that princess media in-take can cast negative influences on young girls' body esteem, while it is still unclear how young girls will be influenced in terms of their self-confidence as the Disney princess line continues to progress. Possible intervention includes the concept of media literacy and what adults can do to minimize the manipulation of the media on their child.

“…According to Azmi, Disney's cartoons have always been linked to beauty. She emphasizes that leading characters in movies possess all the positive traits such as attractive appearance and moral excellence [3]. Martz and Bazzini also adopt regression analyses to demonstrate that the appeal of the role is an important factor in predicting the image of that role [4].…”

Lina Bell is the latest Duffy family character announced by Shanghai Disneyland. On September 17, Shanghai Disneyland's official account "Duffy with you" released a video featuring Lina Bell for the first time. According to the setting, Lina Bell is a curious, adventurous little fox. On September 29, Lina Bell made her first global debut at the Shanghai Disney Resort, and then the internet public opinion skyrocketed to a peak and remained high. Under the aura of Disney and Duffy family IP, the little pink fox captured the hearts of a large number of netizens in a short period of time. This article was conducted to study what makes Lina Bell so popular and explore the general rules behind similar successful IP. A total of 60 questionnaires were conducted to the college students at Shanghai University. Analysis of the questionnaire data reveals that young people consider cute appearance and lively and interesting personality as the primary reason for fond memories of Lina Bell. This paper concludes that humans are emotional creatures, and they need emotional bonding to bring them a sense of security and pleasure. As long as the emotional needs of the target audience can be met, the IP marketing cases can achieve success.

Disney characters and themes are inspiring for children. There is much more than an apparent setting of the Disney movies. Children learn to respect and help others; they also absorb some hidden messages. This research also aims to examine the hidden elements in the content produced by Disney as a major entertainment corporation. The researcher analyzed relevant movies and found prominent elements, i.e., escape, sexual content, jealousy, and stereotyping. Notably, parents of Disney movies' viewers do not guide their children or discuss the movies with the children to increase the potential influence of the movies on little minds. The effects of Disney movies include fear, low confidence, egoism, unrealistic expectations, ignorance, daydreaming, and contentment. Further, we have discussed the results and proposed recommendations for future researchers.
