The 4 Worst Lessons Disney Movies Taught Us as Kids. 4 Disney Movie Villains Who Were Right All Along | After Hours. Beauty and the Beast - Girl Power?: Disney's female protagonists. Disney’s 1991 animated film, Beauty and the Beast, follows Belle as she risks everything to save her father by trading places with him after he is captured by an evil beast. But Bella begins to see a softer side of this Beast and they eventually fall in love. Bella isn’t your run of the mill, everyday Disney princess. She is just a young girl from a small town, living on her own accord and ignoring what others say about her being odd.
Bella in my mind is an independent young woman; and really doesn’t have her romantic sights set on anybody throughout a lot of the film. Even when she meets the beast it isn’t an automatic attraction like it usually is with many of the other Disney princesses, and she ignores the overbearing Gaston when he makes his romantic attractions to Belle aware. She really is a funny girl Belle is considered strange in her hometown. Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, I wonder if she's feeling well. Giving credit where credit is due.

Keeping with the notion of creating stereotypes in order to destroy them, Beauty and the Beast offers Gaston as a “specimen” of manliness.
The racial stereotypes are more subdued, but present nonetheless. Although the film presents people as relatively “Hollywood normal” and beautiful people, we see the depiction of specific racial (or rather nation-specific) stereotypes appearing in the characters Lumineer and Cogsworth (French and British, respectively.) Lumineer, complete with a decidedly French accent and pompadour, is presented as a fiery and passionate candle holder with a flair for romance who later states that, once he becomes human again, will once again engage in cooking and courting, all of which is in keeping with a stereotypical view of the French (even if it only highlights the positive stereotypes.)

Why Disney Princesses Make the Worst Roommates - With Alison Haislip. ERB Biography | Edgar Rice Burroughs. From the day he was born, in Chicago, on September 1, 1875, until he submitted one-half a novel to All-Story Magazine in 1911, Edgar Rice Burroughs™ failed in nearly every enterprise he tried. He attended half a dozen public and private schools before he finally graduated in 1895 from Michigan Military Academy, an institution Burroughs himself described as “a polite reform school.”
Having failed the entrance examination to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, he enlisted as a private in the Seventh U.S. Cavalry, for he had the notion that he might still obtain a commission as an officer if he distinguished himself in a difficult assignment. Thus, he asked to be sent to the worst post in America–a request the authorities speedily granted. The post was Fort Grant in the Arizona desert, and his mission, as he put it, was to “chase the Apaches”. Life was dismal for the newly-married couple. “In all these years I have not learned one single rule for writing fiction. Tarzan.

How Tarzan created Jane Goodall and how Goodall then repaid the favor. The woman we know as Jane Goodall invites us to consider that she was created by Tarzan of the Apes. We should take Jane Goodall seriously when she says that she was influenced by the fictional ape man and that as a child set on a path in life by him to go to Africa to work with wild animals.
And yet the influence Goodall finds in Tarzan likely goes deeper, anticipating the defiance of science and morality that allowed Goodall to become the remarkable scientist and a human being that she is. This connection also suggests a crucial, radical element of morality, that it depends ultimately on an act of the imagination. What evidence is there for this? In her 1999 "spiritual autobiography" Reason for Hope and in her public lectures, Goodall describes herself as a bookish child in love with nature, animals and the imagination. By the time that Goodall was a child, the Tarzan mystique was well established. But the sustenance that Goodall found in the Tarzan novels may go even deeper.
