Gender, sexuality, and race is embodied in recent Disney animated films. The thesis aims to examine the Disney heroine as an idealised form of white femininity made of perfected flesh.The idealised white female body is made to
express cultural norms which privilege heteronormative white patriarchy, to the
exclusion of Other, queer, raced, and feminist identity formations and ways of
being. Gender norms continue to have detrimental effects on everyday life. Gendered presumptions still have an effect on the ways that aspirations are shaped and the ways in which pleasure and fulfillment are culturally constructed.
