Abstract
It has become common practice to criticize Disney princess franchises and contrast the leading female characters with the more mature, highly socially conscious female characters in the present. However, these criticisms may forget to take other factors into consideration, such as social development. The progress of society will lead to changes in people's thinking and cognitive renewal. Today's popular views might not be viewed the same as in the past. So it would be harsh to rely on today's connotations to conclude that popular Disney princesses are failed child models. Through a literature review, this study analyzes the characters in Disney movies under the social background conditions of different film-making periods, using Disney princesses as the research center, and draws a conclusion on the relationship between the characters and the historical social background.
