Disney animation studios present the first generation of heroines in 1937, with Snow White, followed by Cinderella (1950) and Aurore (Sleeping Beauty1959). The cartoons stage figures soft and passivewaiting for a prince to come and change their lives and tear them away from their destin. Snow White, for example, takes refuge in the forest Following an attempt assassination And dreams during his exile at the arrival of his prince. Aurore is plunged into a eternal sleep which she can only emerge with the kiss of her great love. As for Cinderella, reduced in slavery Through her mother-in-law and half-sisters, she dreams of going to the ball in the hope of meeting the prince and fleeing her daily life.
This prince, who is generally little presented with his first name, is not a very developed character, we know little about him. But its late appearance automatically improves the living condition of the three princesses. At the end, each Prince saves her princessas in the simplest of fairy tales. The three princesses are thus defined by their Passion for romanticism and their beautyanimated by the idea that a marriage represents the ultimate fulfillment. The three of them are also submissive to the decisions of a external figure To change their destiny (a nasty queen, a prince, a good fairy) and do not have the capacity to regain control over their lives.
