Walt Disney world/land is an extremely popular tourist destination that attracts millions of visitors each year. Since so many Disney films are based on fairy tales or myths, women were traditionally the generally accepted view of a princess. They were usually women who found themselves in trouble and are usually rescued by a man (prince) at some point in the story. Recent people have discussed the notion that these characters and their respective films may actually have a negative impact on the younger viewers, male and female. Should women like snow white or sleeping beauty be role models for future generations? People have claimed films like Cinderella or the little merain are anti-feminist in some regard. In recent decades, Disney has moved their attention and created more well rounded stories and complex characters. This has been the portrayal of female leads. The next few films would feature female leads who were more independent, free thinking and presented on equal footing with their male partners. Belle from Beauty and the beast showed straight away that she was intelligent and educated and not really interested in men. Belle didn't give away to the beasts aggressive attentions. Belle only becomes a 'princess' by circumstance. Even though she is a beautiful young women the theme of the film suggests the importance of inner beauty.
