Stereotypes In Cartoons

Thinking of You Small waist, round hips, an hourglass shape. This is the ideal shape that women in cartoons are supposed to have. If they're considered evil or bad, they're more curvy like me. So am I evil? Cartoons seem to have a way to share a secret message that we don't see unless we're looking closely. The message that you're not beautiful unless your skin is light, you have a small waist, and have long skinny legs. This is one of the many ones you can get from watching closely. As kids we don't notice this. To us it was another character needed to bring the movie along. It seems to me that they don't think we notice, this which is partially true.

I wonder why they have to be so bitter. I wish they would go deeper into the villain's life to at least explain why they are that way. It just seems like whenever a woman is not as beautiful as another they feel the need to bring violence into it, which is very unnecessary. They need to learn to be happy with themselves. You don't need to be the prettiest, or have the best body. As long as you are a good person people will like you. Simple as that. In almost every movie, there is a jealous woman who wants to be like the main character, but the only way she can is to use violence to achieve it.
