Through all our readings we continue to encounter explanations and examples about Disney’s revisions. Disney continues to revise the role of women in their films/products as well as their representations of race. Guided by the readings we have completed, in this assignment you will creatively dissect how Disney has transitioned from their representation of a Native American princess in Pocahontas (1995) to their representation of a Pacific Islander princess in Moana (2016).
-Has Disney transformed their non-White princesses within the time period between 1995 and 2016? If so, why do you consider this a transformation? This does not have to be an “either or.” You must use these two princesses as the key examples, but you can draw comparisons to other non-White princesses where you see fit (although there are not many). Please include information about the narrative, characters, and themes of both Pocahontas and Moana.
-In your argument/explanation, you *must* draw on AT LEAST 2 of the following readings:
Morales (2020), Attig (2019), Rodriguez & Duran (2020), Leon-Boys & Valdivia (2020), Buescher & Ono (1996), Yoshinaga (2019), or any of the Wasko (2020) chapters.
