Disney movies portray genders in certain ways. The female lead characters are all skinny, tall, large breasted, and pretty. Most of the women are white, but even Pocahontas and Mulan are skinny and large breasted. The women all give into male dominance. Any Disney females who seemed to be curious about intellectual thoughts, or had disrespect for authority normally endured hardships and always eventually accepted male control. Males are also portrayed a certain ways. The "Prince Charmings" are all thin, tall, handsome, and have very large, muscular upper bodies. Disney portrayed characters the way that society wanted to seem them back in the 50's and 60's. The women were very passive and submissive to men. Sleeping Beauty only left her house because of her aunt who was a witch.
