Tangled• Rapunzel is a teenager who
goes against her “mother” by disobeying her orders to stay in the castle
• Rapunzel cannot handle herself outside the castle and she has to pay a “prince charming” to protect her in the real world
• Rapunzel is also not very smart which follows along with the typical “blonde, pretty girl, dumb” stereotype

My Neighbor Totoro
• In this film, many times the two girls get themselves into trouble that they can not handle without the help of their dad.
• The dad is able to handle everything while the girls seem to be handling nothing at all
• The girls in this movie seem to know nothing about the outdoors while the father knows everything

Brave• In this film, Merida, the main character, a
teenager, goes against her mother and even turns her into a bear to get her own selfish way
• This shows how Disney is portraying teenagers as “rebels.” As in they are going against whatever their parents say

Spirited Away
• In this film there are not many stereotypes• They show a strong girl who fights for her
parents and helps the small town deal with their problems
• The only complaint I have is that the town turns the girls parents into pigs inferring that parents are bad and she is better off without them

Kiki’s Delivery Service
• In this film a witch in training goes out into the real world and finds out own hard it is in the real world
• There are not many stereotypes in this film because its hows how a hard working girl can make it in the real world with no prier experience
• Also, it shows how hard work pays off

WHY?
• This matters because Disney and Japanese Anime are building stereotypes for certain cultures that are not wanted by the cultures and Disney and Japanese Anime should respect that.
