Male characters in Disney Animated Films Katarzyna Jurec
Walt Disney is a producer of great number of animated films. He created thousand of characters, decided to give things humans feelings and make them alive. Surprisingly, stimulatingly he also changed personality of the main characters in comparison to books version (Little mermaid, Beast). Why he did it? It is well-known fact that Disney characters doesn’t fit to reality they were they lived. It seems to be reasonable argument that famous producer wanted to create characters who would be likely more understandable for nowadays society.
Generally speaking when we think of Disney animated films the first view which came to our mind is pretty princes. For the sake of discussion,

Quasimodo pays attention to Esmeralda not only because she is very beautiful, but what is more important, he notice and appreciate kindness gesture toward him. He gave him a not only water but also hope, hope for being worth somebody’s mercy and compassion.

In Disney movies we can notice some moralistic aspect in choosing life partner. It is not important what they have, not how they look, what kind of horse they ride, but it seems to be more valuable how they treat women they “love”. It is all about character – how they face trouble and how much they are ready to sacrifice for “love”, how much they tried to understand his women (princess generally does not have problem with it, the more naïve she is the stronger feeling she has and the more she sacrifice).
