This somehow made people believe that she was unimportant - go figure. In Sl eeping Beauty, Aurora only shows up for 18 minutes out of 75. After the movie Cinderella (Disney’s 2nd film), came Sleeping Beauty. The first Disney princess movie, in 1937, was Snow White, in which Disney promoted stereotypes which kids were conditioned by for 76 years: the gorgeous prince, the weak princess and the evil stepmother. Here is a brief history of sexism in Disney princess movies. The groundbreaking aspect of Brave is that gender stereotypes which have been a great factor in Disney princess movies are almost entirely absent. It shows a new trend in Disney princesses, which is that they can not only be independent, but they can be rid of the confines of the Disney man. Brav e takes the stereotypical, beautiful, dependent Disney princess and transforms it further by saying that she can be free of men and that she can fight - really fight - not just as a mannequin on horseback. Her mother is a source of annoyance to her because she insists on Merida being an ideal princess, which is the opposite of what Merida wants to be. She hates being confined to the attributes which make up a princess according to her mother. Our main character is the teenage princess, Merida, who loves to be free (I know it sounds cheesy). It starts in what we assume to be medieval Scotland, with the king and queen of one of the four local clans.
