Blonde Theory In Disney Movies

Superior Essays
While watching a movie maybe like Disney or Pixar have ever noticed little cameos of pervious characters in new movies. Some appearances might be a mere nod to another story just for the sake of a reference. While others seem to confirm the existence of a timeline shared by several movies. There are various theories about how Disney movies are connected. But there is a network of connections between Frozen, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid.
So how are the movies connected? For starters in Frozen whatever happened to Anna and Elsa’s parents? Frozen is the tale of two sisters, Anna, and Elsa, who grow up in the kingdom of Arendelle. The story starts with a heartbreaking explanation of how the king and queen of Arendelle,

Both the main characters in Frozen and Tangled possess magical powers except for Anna. Elsa the ice wielder. She basically has the power to make icicles sprout out of her hands, build anything from snowy slides to fancy staircases to entire castles. Rapunzel, though was bestowed at birth with never-ending locks of magical hair. When her mother was pregnant she was struggling with an illness. The whole kingdom of Corona went on a frantic search for a magical healing flower to save the Queen, which saved baby Rapunzel and infused her hair with magic. Unfortunately, a certain Mother Gothel was very unhappy that her fountain of youth had been taken from her, and upon realizing that the hair would not work its magic if it was cut off, she kidnapped Rapunzel to always have her at hand. Now both Elsa and Rapunzel are blonde but what does that have done with anything you may ask. Well, what if they were from the same family one that carries a magical property in their genes that would only affect its blonde members? Rapunzel's mother could be the sister of Elsa's father, making him Rapunzel's uncle and they both have green eyes. That would also be why Rapunzel's hair turns brown once she loses its magic. And it matters because it further combines the common world of Frozen and Tangled, justifying that the king and queen of Arendelle would travel to Corona for Rapunzel's wedding. It can explain their behavior with Elsa, who they teach to "conceal" her magic. They could have heard of Rapunzel's abduction as a baby, and fearing for their own child, did everything they could so that no one would establish the connection between her hair and her powers? The trolls could also have heard of it, which is why they seem so familiar with the magic and its effects when the parents run to them to ask for a remedy to the icy blow Anna took while playing with

    Laura Ingalls’s dark hair is a trait that she shares with the other two protagonists Capitola Black and Jo March. Capitola is so dark that she is actually sold into slavery "Fifty–more or less, but strong, active, a good nurse and a very light mulatto,' says my willain's voice” (Southworth 24) and Jo March, who’s “very tall, thin and brown” (Alcott, LW 10). Laura is described as being “brown as an Indian” (Wilder, OBPC 143). Michelle Abate states that while Alcott, Southworth and Wilder are portrayed as “ostensibly Caucasian tomboys with brown skin and dark physical features,” which in turn links them to “various forms of nonwhiteness”, their dark skin differentiates them from their frail, feminine contemporaries who do not engage in “rambunctious…

    Disney releases its first movie that branches away of its fairy tale inspired films in 1997, and focuses on the Greek myth involving the son of Zeus named Hercules (Parada, “The Original Hercules and Disney’s”).

From the start of the movie, the audience is able to see the differences and the similarities between the Disney’s movie and the myth with the birth of Hercules and the role of the snakes.

    After watching these short films I am reminded no matter how advanced our society get in technologies from Iphones to Tesla’s some people will always continue to be stuck in the past when it comes to values and ideas. We have basically endless amounts of information at our fingertips and maybe 10 years away from self-driving cars but some people in this country treat other as if we are in the 1920’s. How is it ok for media outlets to produce content to persuade people into their ignorant narrow-minded ways? Disney movies are the worst when it comes to sending an alternate message of ignorance; they portray woman as a helpless princess that needs a big strong man in order to live happily ever after or they send a message of racism like in the…
