Analysis of Over Simplified Assumptions
• Some one isn’t smart because of their looks. (Both blonde sons weren't portrayed as ‘smart’, one no one could even understand.)• Some one is a Stuck-up/Cocky person because they are a fit male. (Third son, brown hair, fir, ‘swoopy’ hair, made girls swoon.)• Female bear is smaller then male, more fragile, male looks strong, rough, scary.

Negative Stereotyping • Scottish people always wear kilts.• Witches are ugly and cold.• Expected to marry young and to a
Prince. (Not a man of her choosing or falling in love.)
• To be ‘Beautiful’ is to be pale/fair skinned, flawless.
Themes
Positive• Stand up for yourself and what YOU
want.• Don’t try to change someone, accept
them the way they are. • Princess don’t have to be proper, girly,
like Disney has portrays them in the past, they can be a tomboy and stick up for themselves instead of going with the slow.
Negative• (Beginning) “A princess is/must/must
not…” Certain criteria to be a princess. • Teenagers are rebellious.
