In the world of the post-80s and post-90s, in addition to Japanese animations in childhood, there are also Disney cartoons. Among all Disney cartoons, the audience can easily find that it has a kind of princess complex. Such as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty", "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "Pocahontas", "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", Hercules", "Mulan" and so on.
Many of these princess films are adapted from familiar fairy tales. While the audience is happy, they also slowly discover that these so-called princess films are quietly changing. From Snow White, who was waiting for the prince to wake up with a kiss, to Mulan who joined the army for her father and saved the country from fire and water. It seems that the princesses in these Disney cartoons are slowly becoming very personal. It can be found that the princesses at the beginning were relatively passive, unable to control their own destiny. From time to time, they would suffer from flesh and blood, and even their lives would be in danger. Modern women will feel a little aggrieved when they see it. With the prevalence of feminism, everyone is calling for equality between men and women, and the princesses of Disney cartoons are also changing. They may be princesses or ordinary girls, but they have one thing in common, that is, they dare to resist the injustice of fate. One of the more typical is the adaptation of the live-action version of "Aladdin".
One of the most different points between the animation and the live-action version of "Aladdin" is the story of Princess Jasmine. The animated version of Princess Jasmine can be said to be a vase. Her role is not much, and her character is not prominent enough, just to set off the corner of Aladdin . However, when it comes to the live-action film, Princess Jasmine, played by Naomi Scott, becomes an independent, autonomous woman who has always equipped herself to hope to break with tradition and inherit the throne by herself, not her husband. In the end, the movie is also not like the animation. It is not that Aladdin married the princess and became the sultan, but Princess Jasmine herself became the sultan. Of course, what she advocates is women's rights.
Judging by the change in the style of Disney princess films, it feels like women are really standing up. Not only does the film have to adapt to the changes in the market, but the new women of the contemporary era must also begin to adapt to this change. The real feminism is not to uphold the principle of women's supremacy, but that the status of women is equal to that of men. If women want to develop well in this society, they must abandon their prejudice against women's own limitations and bring out their best potential. At that time, everyone can be Princess Jasmine.
