Within this eventful film there is a woodworker who makes a wish upon a star that his newly created puppet, Pinocchio, could become a real boy. A fairy makes the hope of the woodworker come true. But unfortunately for Pinocchio, he has a problem with lying. Not only is his problem all of the lies that he tells, but every time he lies, his nose grows. The lesson in Pinocchio, being a quite obvious one, is to not tell fibs. This film is just another entertaining example of how Walt Disney created movies that appealed to both children and adults in a very positive and uplifting manor. Perhaps the most popular Disney movies among girls are all of the classic Disney Princess films.

Also the prince in The Little Mermaid went against traditional gender roles as well, simply because he was more affectionate and loving than his prince counterparts in other Disney films. “Both the male and female roles have changed over time, but overall the male characters evinced less change then the female characters and were more androgynous throughout.” (Descartes & England, pg.566).
