Media Homework- Due Monday 25th January.

Cinderella- In the Disney film Cinderella, it is stated clearly that the film is based on love, fairy-tales and happiness. Cinderella spends majority of the film daydreaming about having a man to make her happy, and also wants the audience to believe that being in love is the only way you can be happy. It is also made clear to the audience that Cinderella wants a man to full fill her and rescue her. As Disney is aimed at a young age group, it is giving children false belief by making them believe that being in a relationship, and in love is the only possible way to be happy.

Sleeping Beauty- In the Disney film Sleeping Beauty, the message that is wanted to be put across is that women are helpless without men. It also makes the audience believe that women are incomplete without love as in almost every Disney film made there is a princess who is always looking for a price to rescue them. As in Cinderella, it is giving false belief to the young children watching it and sending the wrong message across.

Tangled- Tangled is one of the few Disney films that show that not all women need a man to complete them. Rapunzel shows throughout the film that she is an independent woman and doesn't need a man to rely on and make her happy, as she is fine on her own. This shows that women can be strong and don't need to be surrounded by a man or a price. Throughout tangled, Rapunzel is presented as strong and independent and that she is able to discover new things, go on her own adventures without a price by her side. This proves to the young children watching the film, that they are able to discover new things independently and that not all happiness rely's on men.
