She added: "Disney movies are an early indicator of what being a woman will mean; what it will look like, what you can do, what you should do, what's considered praiseworthy and heroic. Sometimes this leaves the movies open to ridicule for the messages they send. And certainly the older movies have begun to show their age and the shifting of our social mores and expectations. However, I feel that Disney has been making a push lately to address some of those issues and to change the focus of these womens' stories."
