Disney animated movie princesses are known for having a great influence on girls' lives, representing what a princess represents. Disney princesses are consumed by Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Belle, Pocahontas and now Brave. They are loved by millions and are found across America, from mugs to costumes. Combined with Disney's already popular image, the princesses in his stories created the image of the “princess of all princesses.” However, the roles and functions of Walt Disney's Princess (e.g. Sleeping Beauty (1959) and Snow White (1937) have changed significantly compared to Team Disney's Princess (e.g. The Little Mermaid (1989) and Pocahontas ( 1995).For one thing, their images have changed over the ages, as critics would say, they have become “sexualized and independent.” Walt's princesses are seen as peasant slaves who scrub floors and clean all day long they sing and daydream about a prince who takes them and sweeps them away. This is usually because there is an evil stepmother behind them. Team Disney princesses take on a different role and have no tasks, they run wild and neglect their obligations is dominated by men. The definition of princess is mainly based on birthright rather than a marital decision.

It acknowledges the challenges that come with overcoming race, but at the same time touches on the fact that these differences can be united.
