Point
Pretty pink culture still abounds in media and merchandises although Disney princesses evolved over time are less pink with princes losing manly muscles.Earlier princesses have been stereotypical gendered behaviors such as the need for girls to look pretty and focus on their appearance over their inner substance.Males are usually portrayed as physically strong,assertive and athletic while females are prone to overt emotion such as affectionate behaviour and crying.Gender roles portrayed in media can influence a girls expectations and ideas of what is normal behaviour and therefore recently, female characters included more traditionally masculine traits instead of the usual stereotypical gendered behaviour.
Opinion
In my opinion, the characters of Disney movies should not have stereotypical gendered behaviors. This is because characters that have stereotypical gendered behaviors can influence other people in a negative way such as the need for girls to look pretty and focus on their appearance instead of their capabilities.This can cause the girls to think that it is ok to be just like that in the movies and her ideas of what normal behaviour to be influenced .One example would be the way to dress . The girl influenced by the movie characters may dress inappropriately thinking that it is normal and therefore may lead to dire consequences such as being punished by public or in some cases brought into custody of the police.All in all,the characters of Disney movies should not have stereotypical gendered behaviors.
