Disney has been dotted with princesses and their awe-inspiring life stories for centuries to motivate the young generation. Tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White have all successfully spread their message. However, people often argue that Disney promotes discrimination and racial prejudice as it is a highlight of Western society. It defines beauty with fairness as it is highly uncommon to find a Disney princess of some other color or origin than white. Interestingly, Disney is ready to launch an Indian princess for the first time named Ananya , who will represent the values embedded in Indian society. People wait patiently for its release.
PROMOTE CULTURAL REPRESENTATION
Introducing the Indian princess Ananya is a significant step for promoting cultural representation in Disney as we would see a fictional character from Indian roots to mark her presence. Princess Ananya has been confirmed by the team. However, it is still in its early stages, and it may take some time before this Bollywood princess gets ready to rock Disneyland.
DOES DISNEY PROMOTE INEQUALITY?
Critics have long debated that Disney promotes inequality due to its primary focus on Western values and customs. People often say it indirectly mocks all other races and only considers whites superior. However, the British film director Gurinder Chadha becomes determined to write her script on an Indian princess along with her husband and look for potential ways to erase all the stereotypes associated with the world of Disney.
PRINCESS ANANYA’S IDENTITY
Princess Ananya’s identity remains a secret as Disney continues working on its production. Nevertheless, people think this princess of color would make history in Disney and enlighten everyone about its themes. Everyone may start liking Disney after the release of Princess Ananya. We all wait patiently for it.
