In Film Theory: The Disney Princess Problem (Wreck It Ralph 2)”, MatPat asks the question “What makes a princess a princess?”. He goes on about the original list of princesses, whether or not they wore a dress. He tries to find a way that links all the princess together and why some princesses like, Anna, Elsa and Moana, are not considered as princesses. At the end of the video, MatPat explains how to be a princess “It is not who you are, what you do, or who you to choose to marry. It’s what you wear that counts.” Throughout my life, I have watched Disney movies, especially Disney Princess movies. I never questioned what made a princess a princess until MatPat’s video. I thought his argument was good. I don’t believe I would agree or to disagree with his statement that a princess’ outfit makes them a princess. I mean I would say that any one can be a princess by his argument. I guess I am leading towards disagreement. I don’t think what he said was true.
In another video of MatPat “Film Theory: Disney’s FROZEN – Anna and Elsa are NOT SISTERS?!”, MatPat explains that Anna and Elsa are not sisters, but Elsa and Rapunzel are twins. He uses that Rapunzel’s parents are Elsa’s. He then tries to use their hair, their left-handedness, location, timing to distinguish that they’re sisters/twins. They are the only two princess to have magical powers. In Rapunzel, the evil mom stabs Eugene in the stomach. Rapunzel hugs Eugene and finds that her true love saves him. In Frozen, Hans turns Anna frozen. Elsa cries and finds that her true love saves her. I believe he used great points to back up his argument. When he was storytelling as if Elsa and Rapunzel are sisters, it seemed like it could actually make sense.
