Disney Princess Gender Representation

Since the 1930's, The Disney Corporation has been entertaining families with animated films. This website which I am referring to, http://www.kon.org/urc/v13/ewert.html , studies the movies:

1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
2. Cinderella (1950)
3. Sleeping Beauty (1959)
4. The Little Mermaid (1989)
5. Beauty and the Beast (1991)
6. Aladdin (1992)
7. Mulan (1998)
8. Enchanted (2007)
9. The Princess and the Frog (2009)
10. Tangled (2010).

These movies were analysed for its content regarding gender, race, and social class, and the princesses were studied for characteristics and attributes indicating how a "normal" girl looks and behaves.

I found this Pie Chart quite interesting in terms of the fact that Princesses spend most of their time singing and interacting with animals.

What was also interesting was how little character development is put into the male characters. Here is a graph from the same website that demonstrates  how much traits are exemplified in female characters as opposed to male characters.

Although women rates are much higher than mens, 50% is still very little character development.
