Independent Disney Princesses

Saint Hoax Encourages Women to Save Themselves Instead of Waiting

— February 14, 2015 — Pop Culture
Although there are some strong messages delivered in animated movies, female empowerment is not usually one of them; to counter that, one artist has created a series dedicated to independent Disney Princesses. Saint Hoax has re-imagined the ending of classic Disney films by replacing the Prince Charmings and Knights in Shining Armor with the princesses themselves.

Captured kissing themselves, these independent Disney Princesses hope to empower women, showing them that they don't need a man to be saved since they can save themselves. The series is appropriately dubbed, 'Why wait to be saved. Save Yourself." There is also another layer to these images of independent Disney Princesses that will resonate within the LGBT community. But the fact that they are kissing themselves does point in another direction.
Trend Themes
1. Female Empowerment in Animated Movies - There is a growing trend of promoting female empowerment in animated movies, creating opportunities for storytelling that challenges traditional gender roles.
2. Reimagining Classic Fairy Tales - The trend of reimagining classic fairy tales provides an opportunity for artists and content creators to offer alternative narratives that empower women and promote self-sufficiency.
3. Representation and Inclusivity in Media - The trend of embracing diversity and inclusivity in media, such as the representation of LGBT characters, opens up new avenues for storytelling and resonating with underrepresented communities.
Industry Implications
1. Animation and Entertainment - The animation and entertainment industry can capitalize on the trend of promoting female empowerment in animated movies by producing content that aligns with the changing societal norms and aspirations of women.
2. Art and Design - Artists and designers have the opportunity to join the trend of reimagining classic fairy tales by creating visually compelling and thought-provoking pieces that challenge conventional narratives and empower women.
3. Media and Communication - The media and communication industry can take advantage of the trend of representation and inclusivity by creating and promoting content that reflects the diversity of the audience and fosters a sense of belonging for all.
