Women are misrepresented in these Disney movies because it shows a false image of what women should look like. It is unrealistic and it implies that your beauty also affects your happiness. The beautiful Princesses have happy endings whereas the ugly stepsisters and stepmother ('Cinderella') don't. Girls in society compare themselves to these Princesses and want to look like them but it is impossible for them to. Disney is giving out the message that girls should look this way and that if they do then they will find their 'Prince Charming' and their happy ever after. They are teaching girls that their value is also situated in their beauty. A blogger on Blogspot (http://george-argento.blogspot.co.nz) wrote on their blog about the ideas 'Cinderella' gives out through this representation. They said "Cinderella influences young girls into believing they need to be beautiful and have nice clothes to be able to get their prince. The less attractive characters did not have a chance with the prince. Young girls will see that and worry about their own attractiveness."Cinderella is a prime example of this misrepresentation because she is beautiful and she ends up happy with a boy who loves her. Her two ugly stepsisters (see below) both end up very unhappy. Admittedly the term 'ugly stepsisters' could be referring to their personality as they are both very mean and would be described as ugly on the inside. But if you compare them to Cinderella, and the other Disney Princesses, they are not as thin and they also have smaller eyes, larger noses, shorter less luscious hair, and are really just nothing compared to the princesses. This is teaching girls in society nowadays that their worth and happiness depends on how beautiful they are, but girls aren't considering themselves beautiful because they are comparing themselves with this false and unrealistic idea of beauty that these modern day fairytales have shown them.
