Abstract EN
This paper starts with an introduction illustrating the rationale behind the choice of the topic and the research objectives.
Then, literature review spans the books, dissertations and articles both on gender stereotypes and gender role in recent Disney films.
Then, through the feminist film theoretical framework, the paper studies Moana as a positive heroine, who is not a princess, but the daughter of the chief of her tribe and Maui, the demi-god, and how the relationship between both of them influences each other in their representation of gender values.
Also, this paper aims at analyzing the motifs that portray Moana, as a progressive female character as opposed to Disney princesses, and Maui's development as a positive role model for the male audience.
The study also sheds light on some gender stereotypical traits that still exist in Moana and Maui.
Finally, the study ends with a conclusion of how gender stereotypes are portrayed in recent Disney animated films and how those stereotypes have changed over time.
