Our female characters in film are changing with the times. So let’s talk about a little thing called Girl Power!
In children’s cartoons in the past, there was a big focus on the bodily appearance of women, and the films often made them reliant on men. Nowadays, women are considered free and equal in their own right, and strong female characters are becoming more and more relevant and common.
Take the Wreck It Ralph movies for example. The first one involves Sgt. Calhoun a game character from Hero’s Duty battling evil enemies known as “Cy-Bugs”. The sequel Ralph Breaks the Internet also involves several strong female characters such as
Disney Princess are also no longer being stereotyped in the movies. Walt Disney Animation Studio’s new blockbuster hit Encanto packs a punch with a host of strong female characters. There is Luisa who sings “Surface Pressure”. She is definitely a strong female character because she is strong enough to lift mountains, ships, bridges, boulders, and bricks. And don’t forget our protagonist Mirabel, who is the only one in the Madrigal family not to have a gift. However, what she does not have in a specific gift, she makes up for in a sassy and smart personality.
In conclusion, we can all agree that Girl Power is indeed a very powerful thing! This is because it carries the message that females don’t always have to rely on men. They are fiercely independent individuals who have all the sass, strength and intelligence they need to make a difference in the world.
