Snow White (1937) Vs Brave (2012)- Women in Animation

In these two animations done by Disney the main characters are both women but both of them are very different in opinions and attitudes. In Snow White the character doesn't turn out to be the true hero at the end of the film because she needs a prince to to come rescue her from her sleep, where as for the main character in Brave is the true hero because she sorts out her problems all by her self and doesn't need a man to come along and save/help her.

This shows a huge development in the animations Disney has produced throughout the years with female characters. They do this by showing in the newer animations that the female characters are more independent, smart, not just a pretty face and brave. Modernising a female character helps inspire the children more (especially the girls) to grow up to be intelligent, hard working and independent. And it only took them around 70 years to figure this out.
