Frozen 'fisrt movies to..." but not really

Frozen is the first movie to talk about ___ (fill in the blank).

There are so many things said about Frozen that has brought on many hard core Disney fans and just regular fans to many disputes. Personally I do love the movie, just like I love most of the Disney movies. However, as a critical thinking person, I have to admit that there are always 'problems' with the movies, and idea maybe just not completely exposed, or a norm or value slightly twisted.  

The problem with the first sentence, in my point of view, is that it is an incomplete sentence.

 Disney has had many movies where the girl does not need saving, Mulan, Pocahontas, Merida (Brave). Even in many movies where there is a male figure, the girl helps or the hero has outside help. Let’s admit it Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty did nothing but a kiss. The whole dragon slaying and rescue falls to the hands of the Fairies, they raised the girl, planned the prince and princess’s rescues and with all their magic helped defeat Maleficent. Most of the action in Snow White comes from the dwarves chasing the witch/old hag.

 Many films have included extra help for the prince or hero of the story and received no credit because the happy ending for the princess seems to always reside with the man. Our society has been asking for more female heroes, strong characters able to stand up for themselves. Thought many films already portray a female lead hero these have been pushed aside in light of the latest Disney hit Frozen.

Why is this movie view as the first and only movie where a man-less female hero is finally shown?

 Though other films convey the idea that a woman can be independent, strong and happy without a man, Frozen is the biggest hit and the most memorable one because it the first movie where the girl is actually girly.

In our unfortunately, still very patriarchal world a woman is still fighting to get a place in society and break the norms. However, the norms keep changing and women are not fighting just against men, but against themselves. The norms and rules which created a group of people label feminist have been altered and the name started to be applied lightly and/or incorrectly.

Feminism has been seen as good, bad, and ugly; as a way to strengthen women and also corrupt the female virtue.

 Mulan and Merida both struggle to be the ideal girly role model of their society, both challenging the status quo and stereotypes in their society.

 Whenever the girl is not fitting in the prepackaged ideas of society there is a change of expected hero or something

 However, in Frozen both Elsa and Anna are the expected calm refined beautiful girly girls, shiny attire make up and all

 When you see that a girl can be girly and feminine, and still independent and a hero for herself, is when people start counting their achievements as something extraordinary that no regular girl can do.
