Abstract
Desde la década de 1940, Disney ha presentado su propia versión del personaje de princesa, desde Blancanieves hasta Moana. A lo largo del tiempo, Disney ha mejorado la representación de sus princesas, haciéndolas más feministas. Sin embargo, estas cualidades feministas aparecieron porque Disney utilizó princesas étnicas como sujetos de prueba. Con el uso de la teoría del cine, la teoría del género y la teoría étnica que se centran en la versión de princesas de Disney Animation Studios para proporcionar un análisis detallado de los rasgos que se mejoraron, agregaron y eliminaron de las princesas a lo largo del tiempo. Llegando a una pieza creativa donde una mezcla de las características positivas que se utilizaron en las películas de princesas de Disney se combina con rasgos de personajes mejorados para hacer una mejor princesa.
