What’s amazing when you look at Disney and Disney movies over the years is how little the image of females has really changed. You still have the same highly sexualised female body with the big breasts, the tiny waists, the fluttering eyelashes, the coy expressions, the seductress. These images seem very similar over the years, and even whether in animal form, you’ve got this very seductive little female animal. This presents people with a kind of notion of what femininity is about. This is not a mirror on society, this is not reflecting who women really are, or what females really are, it is basically constructing notions of what femininity is. Dr Gail Dines
