In Episode 13, UnTangling Masculinity in the Disney Canon, we do a deep dive into representations of masculinity in the Disney princess franchise films.

Beginning with the early princess films such as Snow White and Cinderella, moving into the renaissance films, and then concluding with an in-depth look at Tangled, the Frozen franchise, Moana, and Raya and the Last Dragon, we continue to trace and evaluate the evolution of gender representation in the Disney canon.

Show notes:
