Beautiful Princess in Disney Movies Create Low Self-Eseem...

Most children grow up watching Disney princess movies. Girls want to be extraordinary, beautiful, and similar to the princesses seen in these movies in terms of behavior. These movies teach them that they must be fashionable, beautiful and be rescued by a prince in order to be happy. However, these movies have been shown to have negative impacts on these young girls’ life, often resulting in low self-esteem, disobedience, overdependence, and an unrealistic expectation of male partners. As a result, young girls should not be encouraged to watch Disney princess movies because they idolize the characters, which are simply fictitious and just meant for entertainment, and these movies also cause disobedience, low self-esteem and lack of†¦show more content†¦Therefore, Disney princess movies affect young girls because they misinterpret the meaning of beauty, develop low self-esteem and possibly might end up with a bad relationship since they are prone to love for the wrong reasons. Furthermore, Disney Princess movies teach young girls to be disobedient and weak in order to get what they want and to become happy. In â€Å"The Little Mermaid†, Ariel disobeyed her father in search of the prince. She seeks help from the sea witch, whose intention was to enslave her to get to Ariel’s father (the king). Ariel’s father sacrificed himself in place of her daughter when the deal between the sea witch (Ursula) and Ariel wasn’t met (Dundes, 6).

Disobedience affects a girl’s attitude and behavior and these will cause danger to the society. It leads to violation of rules and regulations in the society. Sin ce, young girls exhibit the characters displayed in these movies, It is important that they are stopped from watching these movies. It does not only affect the individual or the family but the society too. Some people believe that Disney princess movies teach young girls to be strong
