Toplumsal yaşam biçimlerinde gerçekleşmiş olan değişikliklerin, doğa ile insan arasındaki bağ üzerinde de etkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Farklı tarihsel dönemlerde dünya üzerinde farklı coğrafyalarda yaşamış olan uygarlıkların gerçekleştirdikleri pek çok faaliyette doğal unsurlara göre yaşam planlaması yapıldığı görülmektedir. Kamuoyunu bilgilendirme, farkındalık yaratma ve davranış değişikliğine yönlendirme konularında filmlerin etkisi olduğu bilinmektedir. Yaşam biçimlerinde kaydedilenlerle paralel olarak ortaya çıkan çevresel tahribatlar ve doğal değerlerin öneminin vurgulanması, filmlerde ve animasyonlarda daha fazla yer verilen konular arasında yer almaya başlamış gibi görünmektedir. Bu çalışmada Moana animasyon filmi ekoeleştiri kuramı çerçevesinde betimsel içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmesi planlanmıştır. İnsan ile doğa unsurları arasında filmde ortaya konmuş olan ilişkinin tespit edilmesinin amaçlandığı çalışmada, insan-doğa ilişkisi bağlamında filmin derin ve sığ ekoloji kapsamında nasıl bir bakış açısına sahip olduğu, doğa unsurları ile kadın kimliği arasında nasıl bir bağ kurulduğu, hangi doğa unsurlarının önemine vurgu yapıldığı ve çevreci mesajlar içerip içermediği şeklinde dört temel soruya cevap aranmıştır. İncelenen filmde doğanın kadın kimliği şeklinde temsil edildiği görülmektedir. Derin ekoloji anlayışının benimsendiği belirlenen filmde canlı ve cansız doğa unsurları arasındaki uyumlu yaşamın öneminin çevreci mesajlarla vurgulandığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

“…As one of the most influential global cultural exporters, Disney has been sticking to a patriarchal idealisation of femininity and binding such biased gender depictions with the 'happily ever after' princess fantasy for almost 90 years. As the general sensitivity and understanding about gender (in)equality raises along with waves of feminist movements, this androcentric view of feminine experiences and virtues elicits repeated criticism from feminist activists, gender scholars, and female celebrities, denouncing Disney for setting and disseminating narrow conceptions of what it means to be beautiful and happy (Henke et al 1996;Seybold 2020). Contemporary mothers have become increasingly sceptical about the influence of Disney princesses on their daughters, and fewer young audiences today dream of becoming these "passive, soft-spoken sweethearts" like girls decades before (Seybold 2020, p. 70).…”

“…In recent decades, its messages that propagate conservative gender, racial and class images have encountered increasing criticism. Feminists and scholars frequently reproach this media giant for initiating children and teenagers into 'Disneyfied' heterosexual romance and retrograde gender views (Yin 2011;Key 2015;Seybold 2020). Among all its works, the Princess Line, which includes 14 characters so far, serves as the most famous and successful franchise that flaunts the hegemonic idealisation of female images.…”

For nearly a century, the Walt Disney Company has been constructing the world-famous Princess Line and enjoying a lengthy reign of female-centred, female-targeted media productions. Relying upon a problematically androcentric formula, these princess fairy tales advocate stereotypical femininity and romanticise imbalanced heterosexual relationships. Nevertheless, as gender progressive ideas become increasingly popular and accepted in the 21st century, Disney's princess fantasies face repeated criticism and elicit concerns among modern-day audiences. To alter such a negative reputation and reinforce its control over the media market, Disney turns its princess animations into live-action remakes and upgrades these classic stories and characters with feminist zeitgeists. Taken Mulan (1998) and its recent remake as the case study, this article identifies specific differences between the two princess protagonists and demonstrates that fourth-wave feminist discourses -the emphasis on choice, the construction of contemporary female ideals, and nuanced attitudes towards stereotypical masculinityplay a key role in reimagining Mulan into a more independent and empowered female warrior. This comparative textual analysis also examines particular flaws and biases contained in the fourth-wave feminist ideology, including the narrow definition of 'aspirational women,' the overemphasis on individual efforts, and the neglect of structural inequalities.

“…However Disney represents female characters in the film as "passive, soft-spoken sweethearts with tiny waists and dreams of marrying a prince." (Seybold, 2020). Besides those depictions, Disney also started the trend of a domestic girl who turned out to be a "damsel-in-distress" depending on a prince to come to save her (McKenzie, 2015).…”

Disney is one of the biggest animation companies in the world. They have released many animations since then until now. One of the most popular animations is the princess series. Until 20202, Disney has released fourteen princesses from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen 2. Gender role depictions of the female character(s) were examined with a focus on their behavioral characteristics in the films. The English subtitle of Frozen 2 was used to find out the attitudinal expressions about the female characters. In order to make the research easier and more accurate, a concordance tool named Antconc was used to collect the data and create a corpus. Results found that the most recent princess series entitled Frozen 2 showed the female characters depicted as a precious person who was willing to sacrifice herself for others, kind, heroic, fearless, and full-of-spirit. However, Disney also depicted the female characters as liar and trouble maker. In this case, Disney keeps showing that females cannot be seen using the traditional gender’s perspective anymore. A Female is not only feminine, but she also can be masculine as a man.
