Hello, blogosphere! Welcome to my Disney Princess movie project. This blog is a chronological viewing of all of the Disney movies featuring "princesses" as main characters. The purpose of the project is to 1)examine the place each of these films occupies in both film history and American history, 2)look at the different marketing techniques used by Disney to promote these films, both in the time of their release and today as the "Disney Princesses" and 3) using ethnographic research, to determine the importance of these films in the lives of Americans and (for the more recent films) the emotional development of young women.
The first film I will be viewing and analyzing is "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Look for the post on the film tomorrow after the screening at my house tonight. I found this movie frightening as a child...let's see if I'm still afraid at twenty-one.
