Taking place in Ancient Scotland, the film tells the story of a teenage girl named Merida who is not your typical Disney princess. The need for gender equality is definitely seen in the famous Disney princesses movies (this is hard for me to say because I real love the Disney princesses) these princesses makes you wonder what does true equality look life for a female character in a fairly-tale world? This same question came to mind when reading The Princess and the Goblins.īrave seems to be the first Disney movie that shows some type of equality when it comes to that of men and women. They seem to portray the characteristics that were typical of women during that time however, Brave is illustrating the need for gender equality when it comes to women.

In many of the Disney movies, we see the typical princess that is beautiful and portrays the characteristics of a loveable young woman and this same thing is seen in books about princesses. This book and movie illustrate princesses in a different way than they have previously been seen they seem to show gender equality. The Princess and the Goblins made me think of one of my new favorite Disney movies, Brave.

Only the brave movie female characters
