It has lead to young children to believe in certain false beauty standards and relationship advice. Disney does not take into consideration the diversity within women. All Disney princesses have outstanding hair, mesmerizing eyes, clear skin, perfect teeth, and a gym-worthy figure. However, in the real world this is definitely almost never the…

Procedures From when I was a little girl I have always enjoyed watching Disney films, especially Disney princess films. I love watching action and adventure movies, but i've always had enjoyed a good Disney movie. The older I got the more I was exposed to people's opinions, good and bad, about Disney's films.
