Pretty Animated Girls

Something that I learned from this article is that Lino Disalvo, head animator for the new disney movie "Frozen" caused some uproar after saying that Female characters in animation have to be "pretty." Another thing I learned is that Repunzel from the recent animated disney film "Tangled" looks alot like the female characters from "Frozen". I also learned that Brenda Chapman, creator and Co- Director of the pixar movie "Brave" was appaled by Disalvo's statement, especially after just having a fight with disney about the "Pretty" remake of Merida from "Brave." Something that I liked about this article is that it points out alot of stereotypes that I feel Disney and other companies push on people about girls in movies and animation having to be pretty. Another thing I liked about this article is that it shows a gif made with pictures of the characters from "Frozen" and Repunzel from "Tangled" and it shows that the characters look almost exactly identical. A question I have about this article is What gave Lino Disalvo this idea that the girls have to be "Pretty"?
